we’ve placed have / want / had icons everywhere you see a product, either on a picture, in a list (like on the brand or category pages), as well as at the top of individual product pages like this one for Complexion Rescue Hydrating Stick - 6.5 Desert by bareMinerals. add products to your makeup collection wherever you see these icons. once there, you can sort by category, have/want/have, or even build your own custom kits for further organizing.

at blushgarden, we think differently about reading and writing beauty product reviews. we believe product reviews should provide you with detailed information, let the writer quickly and easily share their thoughts, and be a fun experience for all. to achieve this, we provide a ratings scale for distinct criteria, alongside traditional written comments. this format gives reviewers a way to provide an in-depth review of the same specific aspects of a product, allowing you zero in on the criteria that are most important to you.
without the need for long-form written text, everyone saves time. don’t let us discourage you from waxing poetic if you are so inclined, some people are gifted writers and should share if they want to. we just want to encourage and provide great reviews without that particular barrier to entry.
as an example, one rating criteria for foundation is formula thickness. formula thickness ranges from thin to thick. Thin might be a desired quality for you, while thick might be desired for someone else. there isn’t a right answer, only your opinion.
an added benefit to the scales is quickly seeing how a product might perform. you can identify that a product is rated highly for formula thickness without reading a lot of text. easily compare and evaluate similar products based on identical criteria. apples to apples, if you will.
we would honestly love to hear your feedback, if you have an idea for a new rating criteria, let us know! post in the feedback forum, or send us an email to .
not a review but perhaps helpful - here is a description from the source: What it is: A clean, water-based liquid foundation in a stick that combines hydrating skin care benefits and SPF with naturally radiant, medium coverage. What it does: It combines the hydration of a tinted moisturizer with medium, buildable coverage in a convenient on-the-go format. Its easy-to-blend texture melts into the skin for all-day wear that's lightweight and never cakey. How to use: Apply directly onto your face, starting at the center, from your forehead and down to your nose and chin. Apply one swipe along your cheekbones and under your eyes. Swipe 2-3 times in an area for more coverage. For sheer to medium coverage, use your fingers to blend from the center outward. For medium coverage, use a face brush to gently buff foundation into the skin using small, circular motions. For buildable coverage, Use a silicone blender to stipple and build coverage, then smooth for a soft-focus finish. To conceal and touch up, swirl your ring finger on top to warm the product then gently pat onto areas that need more coverage. To contour, select a shade 2-3 times darker than your skin tone, then apply directly on the hollows of your face.
