Makeup Stash!

I came upon this sorry sight when I was looking for something in my daily makeup pouch. Unlike my Bourjois blush, my favourite Canmake Cheek & Highlight blush (Tea Rose Pink) did not fare so well in the makeup preservation stakes. I usually don’t bring blushes out but I had needed it for a touch up once and had left it inside the pouch ever since. To be fair, I should’ve known that the cheap plastic packaging isn’t the most secure of cases. I also remember Yumeko blogging about her cracked Canmake blush (it would have been more helpful to remember this not just in retrospect though ).

The crushed product reminded me of Prescriptives Fresh Cut Cheek Color and Estée Lauder Blush Petals, little broken pieces of blush marketed as multi-dimensional blush potpourri.

Tea Rose Pink crumbled well and its two colours mingled to create a soft highlight. I decided to salvage the remnants by placing them into a Muji screw top container. The mouth of the pot is a little small but the Essential Beauty Supplies mini fiber optic blush brush, which I usually use with this blush anyway, fits it well!
