Snoe SABStance High Intensity Powder Blush

I've been on a Snoe roll this whole month. I purchased these products last month, September, and I've been using them ever since. To be quite honest, I am so amazed by their quality. I absolutely adore their lipsticks. I've been using their pigment mix with my moisturizers and it's phenomenal. But for today's review, I'd like to write about the Snoe SABStance High Intensity Powder Blush (Php 899).


Just look at the packaging! Almost too cute to use!

These products are the result of a collaboration of Snoe with Sabs Hernandez, internationally-trained professional makeup artist, beauty blogger, and YouTube makeup adviser. As can be seen on the box, the product contains Amazonian clay, which minimizes oil in and around pores to balance skin and keep product in place. It helps nourish and hydrate dry skin and restore complexion harmony. It also contains pomegranate which is an antioxidant, anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory and has anti-aging properties that encourage radiant skin. Another active ingredient is acerola cherry which contains the highest level of vitamin C that can be easily absorbed by the body. It has a high content of polyphenols, some of which are unique to this fruit. And, finally, the blush has Acai berry, the most powerful and nutritious fruit in the world. It contains the highest level of antioxidants compared to any other fruit.


Lot of promises, huh? I'm not so sure about that since I've been using the products for only a little more than a month, but in my own honest opinion, I think these blushes are fantastic. When I swatched them at the store, my first thought was how creamy and pigmented they were! I mean one swatch of the product was so opaque and it went on so smoothly on my skin. A little of this product definitely goes a long, long way.



I got the shades X6 Faith and X7 Respect. Faith is a warm, peachy pink color. This is a great blush for the warmer months. Respect is a cool mauvey nude color which I prefer for the colder months of the year. Now, I have said that these are dupes for the Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blushes. Their consistency is different though, these are creamier and has more pigment, though they do go on a bit more powdery. What makes them similar with the Tarte blushes is their longevity. After a long ten hour day, these blushes can still be seen on my cheeks. Now we all know, with makeup, the blushes are the first to go. Now these are blushes that go on and on and will not quit until you take your makeup off.


They may seem quite expensive at their Php 899 price point, but these are worth every single penny. And compared to Tarte blushes, which retail at around Php 1300 each, you get more bang for your buck. Tarte blushes only contain 5.6g in their packaging, while the Snoe blushes have 8g. Now that's a big difference, especially when the quality is very nearly the same.

The best part is these are products that are made from organic ingredients, they don't contain parabens and lead like most local products do. If you're looking for good quality blushes, I highly recommend these products. I mean, all it took for me was one swatch on their testers and I knew I had to have them.
