I really like this blush. Its a raspberry bright pink (Pink Love shade) but is totally wearable. The shimmer is pretty unnoticeable. Its fairly pigmented so you don't need to layer on. The brush that came with the blush actually works fine for me - at least its slanted. I think softer brushes would also battle to pick up enough powder.

I got it on clearance at Dischem at R65 so it was so worth the price!
