What it is
A gel cheek color made from Eclatin, a popular "water foundation," and containing approximately 80% water-based ingredients. A lively, cheery red. With clear, unclouded color, it gives your cheeks a juicy glow with a fresh, translucent sheen. It spreads smoothly with a cool, comfortable sensation, and fits as if melting into the skin. It gives a natural, healthy glow that seems to ooze from within. It is easy to layer, and the shade can be adjusted freely.

It has a moisturizing feel and leaves a glossy finish when applied to the skin. The color is very good, so it seems like it will last a long time and won't wear off easily.
I bought the limited edition color quite some time ago. I don't know the name of the color, but it's a pale rose pink with a hint of mauve. It spreads very easily, doesn't get into pores, and is easy to adjust the color. Even though I'm not a fan of blush, this was easy to use.
It's light but has a vibrant color that's unlike anything else out there and is so cute!
Take the amount you need with your fingertips, dab it onto the exact spot, and gently spread it thinly. It's easier to create your image than with a brush because you can get the color intensity and spread it exactly how you want. It doesn't run out easily, so it's good value for money and the packaging is cute.
It looks like red ink! Lol The color is vibrant and easy to blend, so it's easy to use.
