My Thoughts: I give them props for "reinventing" the purpose of a duo but in one sweep? c'mon seriously??!?! I guess so ha-ha. My first impression of this product when I opened it was disappointing because I swatched it and the pigmentation is really bad when you pick it up with your fingers. I thought it was going to be a total miss with this product but I decided to give it a second chance and actually wear it and see how it went before returning it. To my surprise it worked really well once you apply it on your cheeks. Of course I did not follow the one sweep thing, I contour first then put on the blush. I gotta say I am loving it and the pink color is perfect for my complexion. The staying power is amazing! I did my make up around 11:30sh this morning and it's now twelve hrs later and I still have it on my cheeks. I find this refreshing and AMAZING!! I had yet to find a blush that works on my skin and stay on forever and I have found it! 


Now the application part is a little frustrating because you have to use a really dense brush to be able to pick up the color well. I started off with a regular angle brush but the color was not picking up. So I used a kabuki brush instead and the color picked up beautifully. 
I didn't bother to use the brush that comes with the blush. It's a bad quality and really rough. Not something I want to be sweeping on my face. I recommend that you use your own brush but make sure that is really dense. 


Pros: True to Color, Matte Finish and Stays on All Day (for me).


Cons: Pigmentation is not so great when picking up with a regular brush, brush is horrible (but when are they not?!?!) and the Price is too high for this smallish product. 


Price: 10 and up in most drugstores. 


My Rating: 4/5 just because the staying power on me is awesome!!!! :)
