Prefer prose? A snappy summary of reviews so far: Considering the application category a rating of four suggests responses to "how did this product apply?" generally suggest glides. On the moisturizing category an average total of four suggests reviewers replies to "how moisturizing is this product?" mainly suggest hydrating. Feedback for the long-wearing category the current rating of two suggests users & critics in response to the "how long-wearing is this product?" mildly lean disappears quickly. Looking at review rankings for the colour category the rating of six is a sign that evaluating "does this product shift, or is it true to the pan/box/tube?" primarily suggest true to colour. In the pigmentation category the current five indicates considering the question "how pigmented is this product?" mainly indicate opaque.


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 lipsticks is luster. luster ranges from matte to glossy. Matte might be a desired quality for you, while glossy 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 luster 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 weightless, full-coverage matte lipstick that lends lips long-lasting, velvety color. What it does: This nondrying formula provides a powder-soft finish on lips. A unique blend of waxes and oils melts and transforms into an ultra-thin, featherweight powder, while spherical pigments float across lips to blur imperfections. Available in shades inspired by Tokyo's nightlife, this statement-making lipstick provides eight hours of rich, velvety color. How to use: Glide the angular bullet across lips for extreme precision and control.
