I recently got to know BYS Cosmetics (Be Yourself) a couple of months ago, when they visited us here in Cebu. I have been playing with some of their products which includes the BYS Bronzer which I already reviewed HERE. This time let me tell you what I think about their Blush Duo.
This blush is housed in a sleek, black, plastic material with a transparent cover. It contains 5 grams of product with two shades. The cool toned light pink on the left and a Warm Reddish Pink on the right.

What I like about it...
* inexpensive, priced at Php 349.00
* you get 3 shades because you can mix both colors to get another shade
* very pigmented, you really get what you see in the pan
* lasts all day on normal to combination skin, I work 9 hours in an office environment and I still have the blush on my cheeks even when I get off at work.
* has a soft and smooth texture
* no allergies or irritation experienced
What I don't like...
* contains parabens
* has a cosmetic scent, which I find a bit strong, but it does go away after application
* comes in limited shades, there's only three (Colour Me Happy, Paint It Pink, Miss Pink)
* a bit chalky, my blush pan is a mess every time I dip my blush brush
* can be difficult to blend, so you must apply the blush with a light hand, otherwise you'll end up looking like a clown.
My rating: 4 / 5
I am really pleased with the quality of this blush, considering it's affordable price. If you are looking for a blush that lasts the whole day, this would be it. If you don't like powder blushes with heavy pigmentation, then I suggest you skip this.
