You all by now should know how I love my Bare Minerals Mineral Foundation. I have always wanted to try the BE blush but never have. Then I saw a T.V commercial for a mineral blush by Covergirl. Im not a big Covergirl fan but I do like some of their blushes so I picked up the Covergirl TruBlend Naturally Luminous Blush.

Blush in a hue that's true to you! This sheer loose powder blush contains natural minerals that instantly give a brightened appearance, for a natural-looking kiss of color

The only thing bigger than the name of this product is the jar. It is HUGE!!!! Seriously it makes up for the semi- expensive price plus the fact that it is a loose powder means it will last forver.

Ok so the jar is built like the BE jars with a sifter to control the amount of powder to come out- has a sticker over the holes which you are suppose to remove. It also comes with a powder puff for application.

The application directions are:
Place puff in container and close package. Invert package and shake gently. Tap excess powder from puff and apply

To me this seems messy and annoying. What I do is peel the sticker half way back and tap some powder into the lid then put the sticker back over the holes to keep the powder from coming out. I then swirl my blush brush in the powder and apply

The blush comes in two colors: Pure Romance a pink shade (pictured above) and Shimmering Sands a peachy pink shade with a very fine gold shimmer

I bought the Shimmering Sands because Pure Romance was too pink for me and the Sands color seemed warmer. The color goes on very sheer. It does give my face a nice glow and goes well with my BE foundation. Im sure you can build the color up more by layering or even layer it over another blush color to give a nice highlight

I have only used this once but so far I like it. Ill do an update by the end of the week so I have a really good opinion of it

UPDATE

Ok so I applied it again today in the sun light. It is really sheer and gives a natural hint of color. The shimmer isnt overpowering either- it does give a nice glow. This is perfect to wear alone or to boost another blush color

UPDATE #2
This packaging SUCKS!!!!! I took the sticker off over the holes and had podwer ALL OVER the container. I ended up cutting an index card down to fit over all the holes but two and taped it in. Avoid taking the sticker off for as long as possible
