my aunt gave me a sample she got from macys, and at first I didn't know how to use it. When i found out that it was a lip and check STAIN, and that it took a few coats I absolutely loved it. Since I'm a black girl it was really nice to find a blush that gave a realistic pink tint. if you have the money get it, it's so worth it. sadly for me my sample ran out about 6 moths ago and it's too expensive for me to get a full size one. I hope I can find a sample soon.
