Hi All,
I bought this from Ebay along with another UD blush called Quickie that was reviewed earlier. I picked this up out of total curiosity but it didn’t quite work the way I wanted to.
But where there’s a will, there’s a way and I’ve found a way to use this!

My take on Urban decay blush Score
- Packaging: The packaging for this blush is extremely sleek, yet compact. It comes in a circular flip-top pan which is in a metallic ink shade. Kit has a mirror which would help in touch ups, but no brush. I don’t mind the absence of a brush but I would have may be liked this to have a transparent lid which would make it easy to identify. But again I’m not too miffed at this coz they have a colored sticker on the back of the pan in the same color as the blush and also has the shade name printed on it. So it’s not totally inconvenient.
- Color: This blush is described as a cherry peach shade and that’s exactly the way it looks when swatched. But when I apply this on my face, the color seems to be more of a peachy-gold.
- Pigmentation & Texture: This blush, like Quickie is also very soft to the touch and has a luxurious silky texture. The pigmentation is ok-ok and nothing to rave about. However, this may be because the shade itself is pretty sheer. I initially tried using this as a blush but it made me look totally washed out and pale. After keeping it in my drawer for a while, I decided to try using it as a highlighter and I must say that I’ve found the perfect way to use it. The tiny shimmers make my face glow and compliments most of my blushes as well.
Also, if very intent on using as a blush, I feel its better to do so with a fan brush since it doesn’t pick up as much of the product and won’t make one look like a disco ball
- Staying Power: It stays on me for about 4-5hrs which is pretty okay and manageable
Swatches of Urban Decay Blush Score
What I liked about Urban decay powder Blush
- Packaging is sturdy and easy to carry during travel
- It hardly has any fall out.
- Works really well for me as a highlighter.
- Compliments most blushes!
- The shimmer is very fine and doesn’t look overdone.
- Can also be used for eye make up easily.
- It has a mirror which is gr8 for touch ups.
- Cruelty- free
What I did not like Urban Decay Blush Score
- Too pricey for such a tiny amount of product.
- Contains a truckload of Parabens
- Would have preferred if the lid were see-through
Rating-
- Overall -3.5/5
- Staying power- 4/5
- Pigmentation -3/5
- Price 2/5 ( I have given it a low rating since I feel like for the price, the product could have been wayyy better)

Good Morning Zee!!!
Good morning Pradnyaaa..whats up on monday ??
Hi Ana!
Miss being here!
WOrk is keeping me busy
we miss u too re…hardly see u around…so much work pressure? i hope u dont have late nights..
HAhaha I have late nights only!!! I work from home, and have a lil one to look after the whole day.
ufff…thats so hectic ya…ur office has work from home facility also? thats awesome yaar…very helpful when u hav a kid…
nah no office. I freelance after the baby
Its better than a job in many ways, so actually I shudn’t complain! 
come back soon pradnyaa
Almost there, Ana
Gud morning Paddy! Hw u doin?
Hi Zee! Me good re! Apart from things I need to do for living Lolzzz
haha! i can imagine…must b so tired na? sometimes i just wish for a nice long vacation…
yeeeeahh! Nice long vacation or loads of shopping!
hehe..yeps…now with diwali around the corner shopping is a must!
its look quite different in the pan..i believe due to the silky texture glow has just melted into it
i kno..i thought it wud be anice glowy shade with a peachy tinge so it wud luk nice as a blush….lekin its too shimmery to be used as a blush…
How do you deal with a blush that’s too dark and pigmented?? … :wallbash:
A is right Paddy..such dark shades hav t be used very lightly…if its extremely dark and pigmented, u can try using a fan brush for application..
yaa fan blush works too and if nothing works then use finger to remove off the excess.
ok will try a light hand… but you know the shade itself is so dark, it makes my face dull… I’m thinking of mixing lil blush with my compact
hehe..haan..u can try first using the blush lightly and then using the compact powder over it…it’ll help the make up stay longer too
Blush on bare skin?
Will try that
Prads use it lightly na and remove off the excess….
UD..i might have a slight obsession with this brand…so I’m loving this blush too…the color is so pretty…which seller did u gt this frm?
Good morning Swati…i guess we all have sensitive corner for UD and NARS ..isn’t
Hey Swats…slight obsession? hehe..i think we all have a gr8, hug obsession with this stf..especially since it aint available easily to us
i dont remember which seller…it was so long back…upar se i got it thru GEB so everythin gets sent via ICC only na…seller ka bad me naam also doesnt come..
I need to lear so m,uch about ebay from you because Im thinkinh of making a couple of purchases soon! GEB is Global Easy Bay or something na? and Whats ICC?
yep…geb is global easy buy…ICCworld are the guys who order for us once we place our order..they r like the middle men who get our stuff and courer it to us
so basically any order u palce with GEB, the stuff comes thru ICC regardless of who ur actual seller is..
If I purchase through GEB, will the purchase be protected by Ebay Buyer Protection?
Also, should I just purchase through ebay.com like I normally do or is there some other mode of purchasing through GEB?
yep..it will be protected by ebay regulations, not to worry…u can go via ebay.in and buy..
every tuesday we do try to link some fab deal of ebay so u can bank upon that also
oh yes…thats gon be like a 1 stop shop!
Yeah…I keep a track of those posts…I have been eying a lot of stuff on ebay..Im just scared whether it will reach me safely or not!
most of them will..but if they dont reach u within 3 weeks then u shud urself follow-up..the sellers have their IDs and if ur buying thru GEB, then the ICC number is also given..u shud call directly and find out the status just t b on the safer side..
im a sucker for nars A…mujhe chaiyyeee!!
haan i have to review my NARS blush..woh din kab ayega..i have so much to doo
uh:
pls review it A..m dying to see it

Good morning girls, I never used UD powder blush. it’s sheen looks like NARS Orgasm.
i think Nars has a better sheen Nids..wat say Zee??
oh..I am not comparing both. NARS is NARS. None of the blush in the market can comes near to orgasm sheen
yup i so agree
Ana Is the MAC store in vasant kunj, delhi a Pro Store? I did sent you a mail also through contact form from wiseshe, you got it or not?
no nids i didnt get it ..mail me at anamika(at)wiseshe(dot)com
i agree..NARS has no competition at all! it wud win hands down!
Have you used UD cream blushes, I really like them
nopes Nids…i havent tried their cream blushes ever…ill check ebay if they r available at a gud price…which ones wud u recco?
Indecent and Score. Score is super pretty and natural
Thanx! ill keep an eye out for these!
goodmorning!

Its really pretty na? As a blush yes, it wud suit only a few ppl..but as a higlighter i thinkit’ll suit almost all skintones..it gives a nie glow to the face

I don’t use highlighters much. I feel it gives me shiny look. But as of now I am really liking the MUFE Uplight illuminators.
