Review -- Benefit Rockateur Blush

I wanted Benefit's Rockateur Blush from pretty much the moment it was introduced two or so years ago.

But it's $28 and the blush drawers in my makeup collection have been overflowing for a while now, so I told myself that I couldn't justify the purchase.

And unlike so many times in the past when I didn't listen to my own advice, I actually held fast and didn't buy it, even though I wanted it desperately.

But then a couple of months ago, I found myself in the Benefit section at Sephora and that damn little box just screamed my name. And honestly, I kind of felt like I'd earned it because I'd waited so long to get it and I'd actually gotten rid of several powder blushes in my collections.

So I bought it.

And boy, am I glad I did.

I've been wearing it almost non-stop since I bought it. 

I know this blush is old news by now, but I felt like I had to do a review because it's such a gorgeous color.

Benefit describes the shade as rose gold, and I think that's an accurate description. It's a soft rose shade with warm golden undertones. Like all of Benefit's boxed powders, it has a silky texture that blends easily into the skin and is nicely pigmented.

What I like best about it – besides the beautiful color – is that it imparts a pretty glow to the skin without being overly sparkly or shimmery. Instead, it gives the cheeks a sheen that looks very natural so you don’t have to worry about it accentuating pores or fine lines and wrinkles.

I absolutely love it.

I know $28 is a lot for a blush, but if you’re ever looking to treat yourself, this is definitely one worth splurging on.

You can find it at Benefit's website, Sephora, Ulta, and anywhere else you can find Benefit products.
