About a million ages ago I bought the Maybelline Jelly Glow blush from a webshop that doesn’t exist anymore. I bought it because it reminded me of the Maybelline Bouncy Blushes which you can’t get in the Netherlands and this seemed equally as interesting. Even though I was very excited about trying this product, I didn’t have high hopes for it. If you’re interested in finding out if I was wrong having low expectations or not, make sure you keep on reading!
The Maybelline Jelly Glow blush comes in a teeny tiny box with letters on it which I can’t read. I guess it’s either Japanese or Chinese, but I could totally be wrong about that. Inside the little box is an even smaller round packaging with the blush in it. I really like how small it is, it’s cute and it’s very convenient storage wise. The only downside to it is that it gets a little lost in my blush compartment in my collection, but that’s ok.
I bought the blush in the shade 01. I guess it has a name as well, since it says something in an unknown language right beside the numbers, but since I can’t read that I don’t know what it’s called.
The colour I bought is absolutely stunning. It’s a rosy pink colour. Even though it might not be the most unique colour in the world, its a one of a kind colour in my collection. I do really love colours like this. I think they look absolutely stunning on all kinds of skin tones. Actually, I think it looks good on everyone. That’s always a big fat plus for me.
When it comes to the texture, this is indeed a very special colour. If it’s really similar to the Bouncy Blushes is not something I can tell you right now since I have never been able to get my hands on one, but from what I saw online it’s kinda the same idea.
The blush itself is not like any other cream blush. In fact I don’t really consider this blush a cream blush. It’s a bit in between powder and cream. You can easy apply it with a brush, the same way you would with a powder blush, and it will have a similar look to it. It doesn’t feel greasy or way too moisturising on the skin and it also won’t slip and slide everywhere after a while.
Pigmentation wise I’m really positive. It’s not too intense, but it does show up. I actually really love the way it looks on the cheeks. It has something special to it. Even though it isn’t a super shimmery blush, it does add a settle glow, which I think looks absolutely stunning. In fact, this is one of my favourite blushes ever!
I think it’s clear that I’m in love with this blush. I’m really happy I managed to get my hands on it, and if you ever see it, I suggest you do the same. It’s budget proof and it’s actually one of the prettiest blushes I have ever used. Aside from that it’s also a really fun blush because of the texture.
I ordered it from a webshop that doesn’t exist anymore, but if you google a bit you’ll be able to find it. It’s available at sites like Amazon for £3,75 and Bol.com for €6,99.
That was it for today. I hope you enjoyed reading today’s post and let me know if you have ever tried a blush like this one!
XOXO, Nicole.
Wat grappig! Tussen cream en blush in lijkt me wel een fijne textuur eigenlijk.
Wat een mooi kleurtje! Leuk dat je zo enthousiast bent over deze blush!
Het ziet er heel mooi uit vind ik. zelf ben ik er wel benieuwd naar. Zeker om de textuur eens te voelen.
WOw ik vind de pigmentatie erg goed, waardoor ik wel denk dat het lastig aanbrengt.. Tenminste, ik heb daar altijd een beetje moeite mee haha
Dat had ik ook verwacht maar dat valt echt reuze mee!
Erg mooie kleur blush ♥ xx
