New Stila Aqua Glow Watercolor Blush in Water Lily

The New Stila Aqua Glow Watercolor Blush is 0.21 oz and retails for $26. I purchased mine through Ebates on Sephora, and it's also on Stila's website. I got the shade in Water Lily, and its a beautiful peachy pink with a hint of golden shimmer. Unlike the Josie Maran coconut water gelee blush, this is a liquid blush in a glass jar with a net sifter. You supposed to shake the product before opening so that the liquid is well mixed, and the product can be released through the net. Theres no need to press or anything and its mess free. The consistency is a standard liquidy formula, and it goes on quite sheer, but the intensity/opacity is very buildable. It also leaves behind a pink stain if applied heavy, as you can see from the back of my hand. The golden shimmer in this particular shade is very subtle. The product blends into the skin seamlessly, and gives a glow from within type of healthy flush. I use the elf studio small stippling brush to apply this over bb cream/foundation. Havent tried it over powder, and will update once I try that. Otherwise, its a great blush, and I really like it. Its as good as the Josie Maran coconut water gelee blush, so if you are a fan of that, you will like this. The color selection of this blush is quite similar to the Josie Maran one as well. You get your standard peach, pink, orange, fuschia, rose, and red shades. Not sure if this is the only one that has shimmer, but I plan to go swatch the rest in person in the store when I get the chance, and maybe pick up another shade. I believe this blush is quite long wearing and possibly waterproof so its perfect for hot weather and the beach!
