I really like this stuff, and I also actually liked the way it smells. I have it in Hibiscus Breeze, and it looks like a scary purple in the tube, but wears as a sheer hot pink that is great for tanned skin on summer nights. It isn't sticky, but I like to wear it best on bare skin, otherwise I feel very masquelike with moisturizer, foundation, powder, etc. It's waaaay too bad that they have discontinued this product. I bought it on clearance, so it was cheap. The packaging is cute and would have been pretty smart, but mine broke, and I have to take it out of the case and push it up if I want to use it.

I have this in Tuberose Crush, Rose Petal and Hibiscus Breeze. I like gel blushes because they're easy and natural-looking, but I'm not a fan of Blush Bouquets. These were very sticky and sat on my skin instead of sinking in, and I don't really like any of the colors. I'll stick with Tarte for gel stains.

I have this in Rose Petal and I use it both as a lip tint and cheek tint. It looks scary in the tube but when you lightly dab on your cheeks and rub it gives you a look of a natural flush which I love. Careful not to put too much to avoid clown-like cheeks.
Edit* I think they discontinued this. I am pissed!!!!!

I really like this product. I have it in Rose and it leaves such a healthy,dewey glow on my skin. It is sheer so I have to build it up. You get alot of product for the buck. I like the fragrance. Call me gross or whatever. But, I do. When I put it on in the morning, it's like tumbling in a rose garden. I love it.
However, I don't recommend this for oily skin. I have dry skin and I think that is why it works so well.

I got this in Freesia Mist and it looked lighter than my skin color. I was really expecting the color in the picture! But I actually tried the stuff and its almost mood changing. It turns more pinky than peach. Not really my color but I'm a lot happier it works! Can't decide if I love it so it's up for swap:)

I don't know why this has gotten such horrible reviews. I agree about the packaging, as the blush stick has broken away from the bottom, so that I can't wind it back down (think of a lipstick). Overall though, I found the texture to be fine - smooth, dewy, not greasy, not sticky - and the color is great. I have Freesia Mist, and it genuinely looks like my natural flush (like after I've done something very dirty, lol, or for the PG readers, done some light jogging). Plus, the application is extremely easy and foolproof, and you get a ton of product for your money. If you're thinking of purchasing this, don't be scared off by the reviews unless you have psychological issues (i.e. finding problems with products that don't have any).

I am so upset that people were buying this for $5! I bought all three of mine for $21 at Sephora. I love them, but still... how did I manage to spend so much money on them?
The colors reminds me of those mood lipsticks from the 80's that stain your face bright pink. The peachy colors in the tubes will never prepare you for the fluorescent quality that it has on your face. I have them all except Freesia mist.

When I saw this in all the magazines, I was very eager to get my hands on this. I purchased this in Freesia Mist, which is a pinky peach color. It's suppose to be made from crushed rose petals, which I guess is why there is a heavy rose fragrance. This was a very sticky gel/cream blush that didn't blend well. If you are looking for a cream blush try Stila's (my absolute fav)!!!

I saw it first in many magazies. At the time, i thought it was extremely expensive for gel blush. After seeing them on sale at Gadzooks, I couldn't resist my urge. I grabbed all three colors. I dropped the Freshia mist on the floor and the twisting thingy stopped working. I had to run to the store and get another one. Boy! I got the Rose one instead (wrong color).
the smell was terrible esp. the rose but I grew to love it after I applied and left it on for secs, the strong and rosey smell disappeared.
it's quite sheer so I have to layer it quite a bit (only the Hibiscus). The Hibiscus gives you that sheer but fresh look and last all day without being sticky. I love this much much better than the Smashbox one b/c smashbox is too sticky and tacky.
If you're going to buy Smashbox, try this first. you won't be disappointed. continued >>

I have these in three colors, Hibiscus Breeze, Rose Petal, and Tuberose Crush. I don't know why the reviews aren't that good on this products. I *really* like it. It's very similar to Tarte's gel blushes in terms of texture, and I find it looks much more natural and is more blendable than Tarte.
One of the things I like about it so much is that gel blushes seem to make my cheeks less greasy while many creme blushes make my cheeks *more* greasy. Yuck.
Okay, as for colors. I reach for Hibiscus breeze the most. It's *very* similar to Smashbox Ultraviolet, but the Smashbox blush makes me WAY greasy. So it's a berry that has a LOT of blue in it but is a little too dusty to be a fuschia. I *was* wearing Rose Petal before I got Hibiscus Breeze. It's similar to Pout Flush Blush in terms of color. Very similar to Tarte Flush but less fuschia. Tuberose Crush I've only tried once, although it's pretty. It's a barbie pink kinda color. Pretty though. :)

I really wanted to love this product but I already broke it! I have Freesia Mist and Tuberose Crush. While I was trying to get my Freesia Mist to twist up the plasic broke, I guess I applied too much pressure. The product itself has a very strong scent that is giving me a partial headache at this moment. The consistency is a nice creamy stick blush that is easy to blend. Tuberose is a sheer light rose/pink color that gives a nice light flushed look. Freesia Mist is more of a sheer light peach. I would probably not purchase again but it was worth a try!

I was pleasantly surprised by this product. I also picked it up in the Gadzooks sale and love it. First off the scent is awful-way to floral but faded gone in about 5 minutes. Second, you have to use a lot of this product to get enough color. But once i did, i had a beautiful come from within blush to my cheeks. I got fressia mist, the peachy one. Lovely color on. For $5 at gadzooks, its a steal. But i wouldnt repurchase this full price because the Tarte is similiar and you have to use much less, so it would last forever while this i can actually use up.

The first time I saw these, I hated the smell and thought they looked too sheer. I decided to give them a try because they were only $5 at Gadzooks, and I'm so happy I did. I purchased Rose and Hibiscus, and after testing them that night I decided to go and get the other two shades. I'm not sure they'd work well on darker skins, but I'm extremely fair skinned and this also gives me a "glowing from within" look.
The colors are sheer, fresh and last most of the day.....and once applied, I don't notice any scent. I love these!

I loved this! i have Rose witch gives a gorgeous flush to my fast. i don't think it's sticky or hard to blend. i used my finger, then just dabbed it on my cheeks. came out beautifully! i also like the packaging, very fresh looking. Two thumbs up and recommend.

This works as well as any other gel blush stick. I have Rose Bouquet and the rose fragrance is ok. The color does blend easily and it gives a pretty natural flush but I really hate that the plastic tube cracked within 2 days and the twist function broke almost immediately so that I have to manually push the product back down into the tube before reclosing it. I prefer the Delux or Smashbox cheek gel sticks over this mainly b/c of the packaging.

blah. talk about disappointing. these were just wierd. i dunno why anyone would want a blush that smelled this strongly. the scent would be nice in a perfume or something, but not on my cheeks. the texture of these were incredibly wierd. very sticky and thick and more opaque than i thought they were going to be. its definitly better to spend a few bucks more and go with a better quality gel blush stick.

I was really psyched to try this after reading raves about it. I was sooo disappointed. It smelled nice, however, it was very sticky/tacky and hard to blend. I put mine up for swap immediately.
Won't ever buy again. Much prefer Lorac Lip/Cheek Tint or Tarte Flush.

I got this in Rose Petal and I loved it! I was a little hesitant and skeptical based on some of the negative reviews here, but I thought I'd give it a try anyway. I'm glad I did. I don't find the product sticky at all, it feels kind of silky, maybe because I applied Benefit's Dr Feelgood on my face before I put on this blush. It doesn't take much effort (for me) to get color, I didn't have to rub that hard. In fact I didn't have to rub at all, I just touched the product with a fingertip and there was a lot of color. I love the smell too! Great Packaging! The price was okay, I didn't mind that much because there's a lot of product and it's worth it!
