I love all TheBalm products that I own, in particular the blushes. I don't know why but I reach more for this than for down boy (which I also love). It is so flattering and pigmented, love it!
Just give it a try!

This blush is soooo nice! The color is a gorgeous matte peach, that looks amazing on my skin when it is both pale and tanned... maybe a little bit better when I'm tanned, but that goes with most mu :) It is also the longest lasting blush I own, if I have a long day that I need my mu to last this one is the best choice.It is fairly pigmented, so it's best to use a light hand while applying.

Also btw, I found mine at TJ Maxx, along with some other things from the Balm, for way less, so if you have a TJ Maxx nearby, you might as well check there first.

Love love LOVE this blush! It's a nice coral shade with microscopic shimmer that you can barely see that it's practically matte! It's lasts for a long time and it's very pigmented. A little goes a LOOOOOONG way with this blush. I just lightly tap my brush against it then put it on, and voila! My cheeks have a nice blush on them!

Now, it is is pricey($21), but it's not an insane price. I would say it's worth the money if you don't mind spending that much for a blush. Luckily for me, I got mine from the daily drawing that The Balm has on their facebook page.

But I will totally buy this blush when I run out! For me, it's worth the price!

I love this. I got a good deal on it with Hautelook! It has great pigmentation and it does last a good amount of hours. A lot of people say it's matte but it does have the slightest shimmer. It is BARELY noticeable, if at all. It has a slight coral tinge to the color but the pink is more noticeable in this blush. I have a yellow complexion and it works well!

This is a very natural looking light pink blush, for use on no-fuss days. The color is great, there is tons of product in the container, it lasts for a fairly long time (5-6 hours) and I got it for a great price at Marshalls. What's not to love? The packaging is super cute too.

Very pigmented and smooth. I just use 1 swipe on each cheek and it shows up beautifully. Thankfully, there aren't any silly shimmer/glitter particles in this that will accentuate my large pores. Just plain old good matte. Will probably not have to repurchase since this is going to last me forever. Surprisingly, I haven't had any problems with the packaging even though it is cardboard. I actually quite like the fact that it is really light and snaps shut securely.

Ah! I absolutely am in LOVE with this blush.
I picked it up at TJ Maxx about a year ago and have been utterly addicted since. It is pigmented, matte, and has decent staying power. The packaging is overall good although I feel like since it is cardboard, it could peel, but I've had no issues so far. In fact, I really love the packaging. I think the size of the mirror is decent and there is enough product but it's still compact enough to take with you.
Aside from its use as a blush, I am a huge fan of using it as a shadow. I think its a phenomenal transition color and even a lid color if layered under a sheer peachy-gold (one from Almay that I use constantly).
I highly recommend this for those who enjoy NYC Sunny as the combination makes your skin glow without looking shiny because it has NO shimmer.
Overall, it's a fantastic product and I'm extremely interested in trying some of their other blushes!

I like this blush because the color is very pigmented. I don't need to swipe it few times to make my cheeks look nice like another blush. Unfortunately, this blush just stay on my cheeks for 4-5 hrs. And I dont like the packaging also because the cardboard is very flimsy. 2 weeks ago I hold it upside down and the blush fall on the floor and get broken into pieces

I love love love love this blush!! It is so amazing and versatile. A little goes a long. I use this blush sparingly because it does cost around $20. But it is so beautiful! I received this blush as a gift and have been using it for 3 months now. Depending on how much you put it, it is definitely buildable from a natural flush to a more dramatic look.. I love the fact that it doesn't have harsh chemicals! This blush lasts all day on me for about 8 hours!!


Pros:
Buildable from natural to dramatic
Matte finish
No harsh chemicals


Con:
Price
Packaging (I find the packaging cheap and easily breakable for the price paid)


Re-purchase??
Yes if I ever run out or hit the pan! I really want to try Down Boy :D

I picked this up not too long ago and it was on sale at Sasa for around USD 12.00. I have the Hot Mama blush and love that one to bits and wanted to give this ago. The texture is velvety-buttery smooth and not chalky at all. The color of the blush while on the pan looks like a medium peachy pink, but on my NC35 skin it shows up more as a medium pink without any peachy undertone to it. The finish of the blush is matte. The pigmentation is great and took only 2 swipes to get it to show up on my medium-tan skin, and easily blendable. The color is beautiful on my skin, it gives a natural flush without looking clownesque.Overall a great quality blush, but I really dont like the flimsy cardboard packaging of all thebalm's product, as if it falls on the floor, the powder would get broken very easily....but other than the packaging, this is a great blush! Highly recommended.
