I got this at TJ Maxx for cheap! I initially got it because Down Boy (Mid tone pink) came with Frat Boy (coral color). I thought that Down Boy wouldn't suit me and I didn't play around with the...

Ok, I think I love this blush and I regret not having tried it earlier. After having owned/tested every single pink NARS blush under the sun, I finally branched out and heard about Down Boy. It's...

I will hopefully be buying this blush forever! It works PERFECTLY with my incredibly fair skin. It's super easy to build up from a light flush, to full on pink cheeks. LOVE it. I was lucky to find...

Yes, yes, yes I will buy this blush again if I ever run out. I only recently discovered TheBalm products and am in total love with this brand. I have yet to be disappointed with this line. These...

It's hard to write a glowing review of a product that has no WOW factor, but that's what I want to do for this. It's a great everyday blush. The colour is exactly what I'm looking for. It gives a...

HG blush! I stopped using it for a while because I bought other blushes and tried them out. Still ended up coming back to my Down Boy blush. The pink is just so dreamy! I have one Shu Uemura that...

As with all TheBalm cosmetics, the packaging's adorable. The price is a bit high but the colour is very concentrated, so I doubt I will need a replacement anytime soon. It's a pretty, natural...

I really hope that the word gets out with this brand. I bought this blush on a whim and I am in love. I have insanely pale skin, so most blushes can be very bright on my complexion. It applied so...

I have been dying to get this blush and it finally went on sale at my local drugstore. I knew this color would look good on my fairly dark skin tone since I have another one that's a similar shade...

I had never gone for a true pink blush before because I was worried it wouldn't look good on my skin but this is great! I think it would look good on both warm and cool tones. I use this blush when...

I LOVE this blush! It's a great flush of color to the cheeks. It's very blendable and pigmented. So even if you grab too much, you can easily blend it out. I gently dabbed my brush in three times...

Found this at TJ Maxx for $9.99. You get a ton of product and, while pale, it's very pigmented, smooth and blendable --so it will show up and look nice even if you're not super pale. It is...

Fantastic color--reminds me of my much-loved (but sadly, limited edition,) MAC hello kitty "tippy" once it's applied. In the pan, down boy is wayyyyy more muted than tippy, which appears...

Pleasantly surprised ~ I am a tanned MAC NC42 so most lighter pink blushes simply look ashy and dull on me. I swatched this on a whim and decided to take the chance. Boy am I glad I did, it's a...

TheBalm Down Boy is quickly becoming my go-to blush, but it's taken me a while to review it because the beautiful pale-but-not-too-pale girly true pink color is so hard to describe: is it cool? is...

I found this at TJMaxx for $10! So far I like it, it stays on well and is buildable. I've been looking for the perfect pink color to match my light skin tone. And this one is it!
