This is my current blush of choice that I wear pretty much every day because it's another in my collection of very easy to wear colours, but unlike my other such blushes, this one also has a glow that my currently dry skin needs. I saw this blush on Petra's blog and fell in love with it immediately, even before she posted swatches and I was determined I need it. My predictions that I will love it were correct. 

Texture: It's one of those harder blushes and there is zero of any flaky powderiness when you swirl your brush in it, but the pigmentation is good and it's has a very silky texture - it really is such great quality for a blush on a budget. I've tried a lot more expensive blushes that didn't apply as nicely as this one. It has such a lovely satin glow on the cheeks that isn't too much (don't expect a highlighter glow), it just perks up the skin and doesn't look obviously shimmery. This is what I was expecting from Catrice's illuminating blushes, but none of the shades I have delivered. 
Colour: 050 is exactly my type of shade. It's one of those natural muted pink shades that's in the same colour family as I'm Nut's About you and Romantic Rose by Milani (which are dupes for each other, btw). While it is similar, it's not a dupe for either of the two since Trend it up 050 is pinker, more mauve and it also has a golden sheen. Rose Royce is a lot more warm pink and most bright of the four shades I compared. 

Staying Power: This doesn't last as long...
