I don’t often go for non-powder blushers, but I can be occasionally tempted by them. Shiseido Majolica Majorca‘s Cream de Cheek was one of the non-powder blushers that did tempt me, and I went for PK312 Shell Pink Cream.

Shiseido Majolica Majorca Cream de Cheek (資生堂 マジョリカ マジョルカ クリーム・デ・チーク PK312 シェルピンククリーム/ 資生堂 戀愛魔鏡 魔法持久粉嫩腮紅蜜 PK312 粉苺蜜, 5.4 ml, ¥850) was released as part of the line’s holiday 2012 maleup collection. Four shades were released at the time and they are all still available.
PK312 Shell Pink Cream is the most cool-toned shade among the four. It is a moderately-pigmented medium-depth cool-toned pink with a shimmerless velvety-to-satiny finish. It has a watery (not creamy) consistency, and it is applied with the brush applicator attached to the lid (similar to the brush applicator of a nail varnish) and then blended with fingertips.
It is slightly more pigmented than many of the blushers I have from Japanese brands, but it is very easy to apply and blend. It doesn’t dry up too quickly so there is enough time to blend the color to achieve an even and seamless finish. (I wear it on top of my powder foundation, and it doesn’t seem to mess up the finish of the foundation.) The staying power is very good.
The cool-toned pink looks fresh, girlie and fairly vibrant, and the depth of the color suits my light-to-medium skin tone. I also like the shimmerless finish.
Overall, this affordable product in a cute bottle is easy to work with and performs very well. It is a lovely surprise.
