I was interested in how these Catrice blushes fared in comparison to other drugstore brands. I must confess, I partially bought it because of the packaging more so than the quality of the product itself which is why it took me a while to buy one of these blushes. I thought I should at least wait until Catrice did a shade that actually went with my complexion.
Upon swatching I found it to be a little on the powdery side but because it is so pigmented (which was a slight concern because as you can see, it's a relatively bright pink) but it blends rather easily and is really no fuss at all. The colour, although quite pink in the pan, is slightly on the warm side, which (apart from peaches and apricots being the season's colours for make up in Germany at the moment) is relatively hard to find at drugstores here.
This blush suits my warm skintone but I think it would suit other skintones as well because even though it leans to a warmer shade of pink, it's not a completely coral colour so it will not look so overly warm on cooler skintones. This particular shade is also matt, a rare find in drugstore brands so it looks natural and on the high-end side. The blush also contains vitamins C and E which is probably not going to do much for the first layer of the skin but still a nice addition to any make up I suppose. I'm also a big fan of the compactness and minimalist look of these blushes - but I'm always a sucker for these kinds of packaging!
