Tarte Sheer Passion Maracuja Hydrating Cheek Tint

In late 2013, on an impulse I bought this Tarte Sheer Passion Maracuja Hydrating Cheek Tint in the color Amused. Since then, it'd been sitting in my drawer untouched. I guess it's time to give it a chance? Sigh...

All pictures taken in natural light without flash.

This cheek tint comes in a twist up packaging, with the tint dispensed through a cloth sponge tip, which in itself isn't a problem but I've found that even one click twist dispenses way too much product (see photo below, yes, that was just one click).

The formula is a light weight gel cream that's easy to blend and doesn't dry too fast, so not too goof-prone. It goes on slightly cooling, so probably lots of alcohol's involved. Pigmentation is meh, sadly. I guess the blended spot looks nice and natural, but it might not show up at all on some folks out there. Oh well.
