I bought Stila's Rouge Pots Cheek Mousse (#05 Freesia) on a whim during the August sales at StrawberryNET. And might I say, I definitely did NOT regret it.
Description:
Maybelline's Dream Blush Mousse is similar to this, but I'd have to say that I like Stila's cheek mousse a lot better than Maybelline's. First of all, it's a lot drier; i.e. it doesn't feel wet at all on my cheeks. It dried instantly on my cheeks, and blended very well into my loose powder.
I'd admit I took a bit of a gamble when purchasing the cheek mousse online, as I didn't really know what Freesia was like. On the website, it looked a like an orange-brown, but when the mousse arrived, it was brown! My first thought was uh-oh, I bought the wrong colour. But when I tried it on, it gave me a very lovely bronzy glow (applied sparingly, of course). I'm now using it to work everyday :)
As with all cheek mousse, I'd recommend gently dabbing the colour (do not scrape) from the pot to the back of the hand, blend it a little, and then apply onto the cheeks. This way, you can control the amount of blush you apply on your cheeks, and to avoid looking like a doll.
Stila's Rouge Pots Cheek Mousse (#05 Freesia 4g/0.14oz) was purchased at StrawberryNET for RM35 (this price is available during the August sales. Normal price would probably be double the amount).
What I like about it: Cute pot, portable, glides on well, dries instantly when applied.
What I did not like about it: Nothing really (I might actually get another pot of a different colour :p)

Ahh... you got that! I saw that on S/net. Wanted to get it because it was so dirt cheap but was apprehensive because of the colour. I'm cool-typically Asian. fair to the point of being pale sometimes.
WILL IT WORK ON ME? But then again, I don't like the bronzed look. I like the peachy-pinky healthy i've-had-a-run-in-the-cold look :)
So, yaye. me bank account's rejoicing! =)
uh... can i know how do you buy from Strawberry.net?? by credit card? no credit card cannot lo??
Emily: Sorry, you do need a credit card to purchase items from StrawberryNET. The shopping cart and all that's very intuitive; just follow the instructions, and voila! It's done! Do let me know if you need more help on this, k? :)
Hi there. Great site!
Just wanted to know is there anyway of signing up to be on the mailing list for StrawberryNET so we'll know when the promotions are?
Do they have it very often?
