Review: KleanColor Airy Minerals Loose Powder Blush in "Petal"


Product Name: KleanColor Airy Minerals loose powder blush in "Petal"
Product Price: $3-$4
Where can I get it?: Ebay or the KleanColor Official Website
Pros: Beautiful color, light and soft look, blends very well
Cons: PACKAGING SUCKS!!

First Impression:
    I found this product on ebay and saw about 20-30 colors of blush. I love bright pink blushes so as soon as I came across this one, I decided to buy it. When it arrived I really liked the packaging! It's a little square clam-shell box with a cute little mirror inside!! I only ever uncover 2-4 holes on a sifter top to prevent a big mess from happening, which usually works.

Lasting impression:
    OMG...omg...o...m...g...The packaging is absolutely HORRIBLE!! I wanted to use this blush because the blush itself is lovely. But I couldn't because when I opened the top to use it the first time, the product was EVERYWHERE! All over the mirror and piled over the sifter top! It was so messy I closed it right away and ignored it for a few weeks. Then it occured to me to get an empty sifter jar and put the product in that, so I could use the product but get rid of the horrible packaging. Well I did; as I tapped the box of blush to get it to slowly fall into the jar, BAM!! The entire sifter simply FELL out of the box! Just fell out! Blush everywhere! On me, on my desk, on the floor, on my clothes, everywhere! Luckily I managed to keep about 90% of the product in the jar, so I can use the blush finally.

Verdict:
    I was so angry about this packaging, I wrote a letter of complaint to the company. The way it was so shoddily made is unacceptable. How are you gonna make a great prouct then put it in deplorable packaging?! Well, I've used the blush now in the sifter jar, and it's a great blush! Vibrant, blendable...wonderful! I'm planning to make the old packaging into a keep-sake box because though it couldn't hold the blush, it holds small solid objects very well. Plus I like the mirror on the inside of the lid. If you have the patience and time to re-pot this product, then go for it.

Would I recommend this to a friend?
:
    I honest to Goddess wish I could. But I can't in all good conscience recommend this to anyone.

Would I repurchase?
:
    If they heed my letter and fix the packaging, yes. If not, then not a chance in Hell.

Score out of 5 cuppy-cakes:1 cuppy-cake, because the product itself rocks; it lost 4 for the packaging.

  2. If it's packaged right(which yours clearly wasn't) you can simply leave the cover over the shifter and poke out just a few holes. I get the perfect amount that way. I love this blush so much but it is very very pigmented and that could be a problem for some.
