Rimmel Lasting Finish Blush - Swatches & Review

Discovering a peachy pink blush I've never tried before makes it rather easy for me to indulge, and for a mere $5 it made it even easier for me to be inclined to try it out. 
The packaging is simple, sleek and compact - it is by no means high quality, but for what you are paying for the blush I feel it does a lovely job of housing the product while not looking tacky.

The embossed crown is a nice touch - obviously a clear reference to the Rimmel London brand. Usually small details like this tend to draw me to products I'm slightly unsure of as well - I know, I know, I'm pretty easily swayed by cute details, but I'm sure you'd all be lying if you said you'd never been sucked in by that type of thing yourselves once or twice.

The color is rather light, thus it may not be the best for darker skin tones. I feel with my skin tone it adds a lovely glow, which I believe it will continue to provide for me once I become more tanned in the months to come. 
The product is easily blended as the texture is soft and smooth - I found the color very easy to pick up with a blush brush and apply (I've been using my Eco Tools blush brush). 
Finally, as far as staying power it has unfortunately not impressed me as much as other aspects of this product have. To maintain the look you desire the product would certainly have to be reapplied throughout the day - one negative I am willing to over look when I crave this type of peachy glow on my cheeks. 

Let me know if you've tried any of these blushes, and if so, what you're take on them has been.
