In this first impression, I’m testing the MORPHE Huephoric Rush 3-in-1 Silk Blush in the shade Intoxicated (they describe it as a rose mauve). I picked it up on a tiny Ulta haul at the end of January, and while it retails for $16, I snagged it for 50% off—because that’s honestly my favorite way to buy makeup. I also talk about the packaging (it’s plastic and the lid only opens partially) and then I swatch it and read through Morphe’s claims about it priming, hydrating, and blurring. Then I get into what really matters for 50+ skin: how it applies and how it behaves on texture. I tested it with my fingers first and then pressed it out with a more dense brush that still has some “give,” and that combo worked beautifully. On my skin it definitely feels like a cream-to-powder situation—once it sets, it’s no longer balmy—and it blends out easily without going “bam in your face” if you don’t go ham. My takeaway: Intoxicated looks darker in the pan, but on me it was perfection and very buildable. At $16 I’m a little frugal and think it’s a hair pricey for plastic packaging, but for the $8 sale price? Fantastic.
