June 29 - Kalisan Blush

O blush not so! O blush not so!
Or I shall think you knowing;

~ John Keats Sharing the Apple (excerpt)

I have a high opinion of what a blush balloon should be, perhaps I was just spoiled by what we had.  Being "flesh tone" requires a bit of smooshiness to play with, if I can use that as a metric.  If just just based on what it has to go through trying to match the bizarre bends and distortions of limbs and features..  

Kalisan blush ... the color is good (comparisons on blog), but the texture is off - there is a plastic feel to them, and though they seem to have a decent firmness and don't feel thin, there were more than the typical number of random deflations and a bunch of spontaneous explosions during the course.

Every face I made had some sort of substantial blow-out, and early enough that I tossed it aside instead of fixing - the last attempt I was "defusing a bomb" careful.   No face images while testing a blush balloon, if that's not a sign ...

Overall assessment, Kalisan blush ... gonna be a pass for me, between the texture and the random failures, the formula just isn't (currently) right.
