This is one of my FAVORITE blushes that I own. I have both this color (matte peachy-coral) and Natural Beauty (matte strawberry red) from the same line. All of these blushes are fantastic!

Blissful is a matte peachy coral blush that really makes my NC25 look fresh and glowing (as cliche as that term is). It's quite pigmented, so I usually apply with a skunk/stippling brush. Because it's matte, it looks natural and less obvious on my skin than shimmery blushes, although this is the first matte blush to give me that "glow from within" look. (I think it matches the color my cheeks turn when I am out exercising, so that's probably why. Not sure if this effect applies for people who are much darker or much lighter than me.)

Also like the other blushes in this line, Blissful lasts a surprisingly long time (at least 10 hours). It might fade a liiiiittle more than Natural Beauty, which is still very vibrant even after 12 hrs. I highly suggest wearing some concealer or foundation underneath both of these blushes to prevent fading. Out of my blush collection, the Tarte Amazonion Clay blushes last the longest and are the most fade-proof, so they are a GREAT investment.

Possibly my favorite blush? I purchased this after really liking the blush from the same line called Exposed, a plum-colored nude. I decided that while that was a great winter blush, that I needed a new color for spring and summer. After reading reviews for a good coral-pink, Blissful was the best choice. I am so intensely glad that I bought this. It's a beautiful color that brings out the natural pink of my cheeks beautifully. It lasts all day and looks great with any look. I have very dry skin and this still glides over any rougher patches that I might have. Great blush!

This is hands down my favorite blush of all time. This is the second Tarte blush I've bought, and I love love love love love it. It is the best blush I've ever found. This color is a pretty pink (not as bright as Dollface but not as coral as Frisky), and it's the perfect pink shade.

Blissful is my favorite shade from the tarte amazonian clay blush line. It's the perfect peachy almost coral shade for me! I bought this last year when they were new (I think) around the spring time and used blissful COUNTLESS times and the pattern on the powder still somewhat shows. You don't need very much product and the lasting power is impressive. Around 8 hours the color fades a bit on me but is still noticeable. I love this blush because it's a fun color for summer, and perfect for summer in that it is a longer lasting blush (on me anyway) so through the humidity and heat it will last with minimal touch ups.

tarte never can fail on me - it feels great purchasing from a brand that is all natural, and actually healthy for the skin. this blush is a very very mix of coral/hot pink. it can be a natural-looking blush when applied very lightly, but this is SUPER PIGMENTED so if too much is applied, it will be very bright! but the best thing is, it is never chalky. it's smooth and easy to apply. $25 really threw me off... but i trusted tarte with their healthy ingrediants. definitley recommend! blissful is a matte blush, by the way.

I bought this on a *slight* whim, after seeing so many rave reviews. I decided to give it a try, considering everyone was saying this was worth the whopping $25 price tag.
Well, after trying it probably 6-8 times, I decided to return it to Sephora. There was nothing actually wrong with it, but I just didn't see its value. To me, it was definitely NOT worth $25.
I have oily/combination skin, so sometimes I have problems with blushes lasting all day. Honestly, the $3 ELF studio blushes are just as good as this. I have 4 of those, which is why I returned the blissful.
There was simply nothing special about it.

I haven't found anything in a similar color with a true matte finish at a drugstore price point. Like a couple of other reviewers noted, shows up great on my fair skin- nice alternative to tipsy which was too bold even with a light hand.
PROS:
-blended well with multiple foundations and a light dust of translucent powder. Never caked, sat on top, looked powdery etc.
- long wearing on me (after 7 solid hours began to fade, but is still present on my skin after the stated 12 hours)
-wore really well in hot, humid summer weather, without noticeable additional fading, running, or changes in texture
-didn't transfer easily, although not completely transfer resistant
-photographed well, wasn't more prominent or less vibrant than in person.
- wiped off and washed out of brushes easily (some highly pigmented colors I've found can be a pain or leave so much residue I have to wash thoroughly after every use or it will muddy up other colors when applied)
-after a year of weekly wear barely made a dent in the pan.

I love this blush! Tarte really outdid themselves with these blushes. Of all the shades I love Blissful the most. I orignally got Tipsy, but it was really way to coral on my skin, and so I got this instead. I really love this shade because it looks very natural on my NC25-30 skin. It looks very bright on the pan, but on the skin it is a beautiful matte peachy pink color that looks like a natural flush. It's a shade somewhere in between a pink and coral blush. I can use this during every season because it suits my warm undertones well.
This blush is highly pigmented as well as long lasting and it doesn't break out my sensitive, acne prone, dry combination skin.

I bought this product because of two things (based on reviews online): good pigmentation and longevity. But it didn't deliver both things. The color barely show up on my NC42 skin. A couple of heavy strokes are needed for it to show up. And it doesn't last that long too. And it's expensive. Just so dissapointed :(

Best peachy pink blush I own! I think this compliments all skin tones but it's best on tanned skin. This blush last all day and also works great as a setting blush to my Laura Mercier "Innocent Peach" cream blush. Absolutely love!

This is my sixth Amazonian Clay blush. I waited to buy it, not because I wasn't attracted by the color, but because I already had a collection of peach family blushes. Now that I have it, I do find it distinctive enough to merit owning, not just for the lovely shade but for its endurance.

The shade is sort of the perfect blend of apricot and coral. It looks clownishly bright in the pan but goes on me (NC25) as a pretty, vivid color that looks natural without being loud or tacky. It has less pink in it than Illamasqua's Hussy but isn't quite as peachy as Kevyn Aucoin's Dolline or The Balm's Frat Boy. Like all of the Amazonian blushes, it lasts on my oily skin quite a while.

As for the packaging - my cat sent this flying off my vanity and the pan depotted from the compact as soon as it hit the floor, but the blush itself did not crack or crumble. That was a nice surprise.

Holy crap. This blush is amazing. It's pretty much the perfect color. I bought Tipsy before I bought this. I think I like this better. The color is super flattering on me. It's the perfect peachy pink. The pigmentation is amazing. I also really love the cute packaging. I love this blush.

I've heard and read many reviews praising Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush and after much time I finally purchased one in the colour Blissful. I paid $33 Canadian at Sephora, which for me is quite a bit of money to spend on a blush.
I definitely think this blush totally deserves it's great reputation. Blissful is a wonderful shade of peachy coral for my fair complexion. I like that it's matte, super pigmented, blends easily, has a touch of pink that makes this blush not appear overly too orange, and really lasts a long time. At the end of a long day when I start feeling and looking like a hot mess, my blush still looks awesome! Very impressed with its longevity of wear.
Overall I really love this blush and think it's worth the $33 price tag. I'm planning to purchase more shades from Tarte on my next Sephora haul.

I first got exposed and amused and loved them so much I new I needed more so I decided on blissful I don't own anything like this shade. I love my pinky blushes. So that's why I grabbed this at first I was worried that it would be too orangy but thankfully its not, its more like a peachy pink on me. Its very pretty. One more thing with every blush purchase I made at Ulta I got a great gift from tarte. They give amazing gwp's.

After loving my Tarte blush in Amused, I decided to pick up a peachy/coral shade. In the pan, I was definitely more attracted to the more viivid Tipsy, but when I tested them, Blissful came out the winner. On my fair, cool skin, Tipsy looked unnaturally orange. However, Blissful both warms my face and is suitable for my skin tone. I think Blissful is a tad more pink and Tipsy has much more orange. I love that it is matte because it helps me achieve that natural flush that I was looking for. If I want a little extra glow, I dab Blissful cheek stain on my cheekbones and the result is lovely.

I wanted to be fair before I reviewed this product, so I've been using it for about a month. I loooove this blush! It's matte, but oddly enough, I get this sort of nice sheen/glow. If I look too pale (I'm anemic), this blush makes me look healthy. I don't see a coral color, it's more a medium pink on my skin, but I really don't mind. Blends well, without smudging or feathering. I wouldn't go and say it lasts exactly 12 hours because I wear mine only 8 before I wash it off, but it definitely stays those 8 hours! And I even get more compliments with this blush--I'm in love :).
And the reason I wouldn't buy this again is a little goes a long way, and I haven't even made a dent in it yet. Feel like it'll last forever!

This is a fantastic blush. I love this color and unlike every other blush I've tried it actually lasts.
This shade is comparable to nars orgasm without the shimmer and it actually lasts.
