Battle of the Week: Dior vs. Stila Blush

Today, I’m going to make a comparison review between Dior Rosy Glow Healthy Glow Awakening Blush (reviewed here) and Stila Custom Color Blush #Pink.

These two blushes offer a similar idea: a self-adjusting blush that will react to the skin’s natural chemistry and create a custom shade of  he owner’s that is both flattering and universal.

Let’s get the basics done first. Stila’s packaging is much more modest than Dior’s. Stila’s compact is of glossy black plastic with a mirror. Dior is encased in a compact of silver top and clear acrylic, with a mirror and brush. Dior has 7.5 gr of product while Stila has 5 gr.

I got the Stila first, a while ago at a very good price. I was intrigued by (supposedly) self-adjusting formula. Wow, I’m not kidding, this is the boldest blush shade I ever have. It’s a neon blue-tone bright pink, much more in-your-face than Dior’s. On my cheeks, it shows up warmer, not as rosy as Dior’s, but has a stronger pink tone.
