By Terry Rose De Rose Sheer Liquid Blush
Several months ago, I was casually browsing at the Escentials boutique at Tangs Orchard when the By Terry Rose de Rose Sheer Liquid Blush No. 1 Fresh Rose caught my eye. The rose-scented liquid blush gave the most delightful glowy tint to skin. Unfortunately, it was out of stock. Subsequently, I tried looking for it at the Bloomingdale's in New York but to no avail. Finally, a couple of months ago, I chanced by the Escentials boutique and by a pure stroke of luck, it had finally come back in stock.
Needless to say, I didn't hesitate long before deciding to snap up this highly elusive product. The Sephora stores in Singapore also carry By Terry but they never have No. 1 Fresh Rose in stock. Online, the only website that seems to carry No. 1 Fresh Rose is ByTerry.com where it costs €48 (about S$83). SpaceNK lists only No. 2 Corail Rose and No. 3 Amber Rose for £38 each (S$78.50) while Barneys.com lists No. 2 and 3 for US$54 each (S$70.60).
At Escentials, I paid S$106 (for 15ml), which is definitely the most hefty price I've ever paid for a blush. At least I did get my usual Tangs Citibank 10% rebate. If you are an Escentials member, you also enjoy a 3% discount on regular price items. There is no membership card for Escentials so you have to remind the SA to give you the members' discount.
By Terry is created by Terry de Gunzburg, who was formerly the Director of Makeup Design at Yves Saint Laurent where she helped to develop the famous Touche Éclat.
The light, non-greasy blush virtually melds into the skin. It gives the cheeks a natural healthy pink glow without any artificial frostiness (like some of MAC's Mineralize Skinfinishes tend to do). The elegant rose scent is quite distinct during the application process but not after the blush has set.
One pump tends to dispense too much for one application, but even if you apply a few layers, the blush still looks very natural. It is also very easy to blend with the fingertips. I usually apply it on top of my foundation, and then apply a very light layer of face powder on top.
The Rose de Rose No. 1 Fresh Rose is an extremely pricey indulgence but given how elusive it seems to be, I'm still glad that I managed to purchase it. Even with daily use, I'm pretty sure it will last at least a year as only a small amount is required for each application.
Here's the ingredients list.
