I love this cream blush and this shade! It is a very natural light pink shade. Blends in nicely and looks very natural. You can always apply a little more on for a more noticeable flush - it's very buildable. Or you can also use this as a base and apply a powder blush over it very lightly, or maybe not so lightly depending on the look that you are going for =p. In any case, this is a great blush and I highly recommend. It may seem a little expensive consider how thin the pan is, but you really don't need to use that much at all to get a good natural-looking flush so it should last for quite a while.

This is a very pretty, feminine light pink cream blush. It is easy to apply to the apples of your cheeks and looks define over bronzer. I gave it four stars because honestly if it went missing I might not notice. In other words, it is a nice cream blush but not one of my all time favorites.

I LOVE THIS BLUSH!!! At first glance it might seem boring or plain but when you put it on it looks amazing. I had no trouble blending this blush because it applied very smoothly to my skin. The color is perfect and looks natural on my very fair skin. I'm not sure if it would show up on darker skin tones but if you have fair skin it's definitely worth a try. It's a little expensive, but considering how much i use it, I think it's worth it.

I really like this cream blush, especially the color! This is my first cream blush and for me it is perfect. I like that it doesn't scream "I am wearing blush!" the color is light but enough to show and you can put more if you would like. It is not sticky or greasy. The color does fade by the end of the day I noticed but not 100%... there is still some left. This should lasts a long time as well. I plan to repurchase.

This color is great because is a cream blush so the color can be build, but I like to use this for shadow base, sometimes i do wear lid primers, but i like cream based like this blush to add definition and bring out my brow bone.

I just got this in the mail today and washed my face mid day to try this out with a clean face. I am so confused by NARS' descriptions. I also bought 'Madly' by NARS last year and while it looked like such a nice color in the pan on skin it came out looking orangey. The description of Penny Lane is nude pink. But on my skin it appears orangey again! I have light skin and this is a bit too warm on my skin. It looks like a light pink in the pan, and for darker skin it may come out looking light, but on mine it is a tad too dark. sighhh....

I have been eyeing this blush for some time and focused on powder products instead. I finally tried it and ... it is OK. Looks great at first and tends disappears after a few hours, unless I put GA sheer blush n. 2 on top. As I am very pale (NC15) I look like a ghost without blush. I ended up using it as a base for a powder blush and it works. Penny Lane is not too obvious, it is not shimmery (no Orgasm disco diva effect) and blends very easily. I would not recommend this to gals with medium/dark complexion as it may not show up at all.

This stuff is really fantastic. A definite HG for me. It didn't catch my eye at the NARS coutner for many trips because it looked too light, but I finally tried it on and fell in love. It's a really lovely dusty rose color that blends easily and gives the apples of your cheek a nice healthy glow without screaming "I'M WEARING BLUSH!!!" I will repurchase over and over.

After years of using Stila cream blush I came across one of these in a swap and I am close to getting rid of all my Stila cream blushes! That is how much I love this. This is a pinky nude that is very natural. The finish is a sheen, but not as greasy looking at the Stila. Also it lasts relatively long for a cream blush. This is a great blush for when you don't feel like wearing foundation and want something to just perk you up a bit. I highly recommend!! (reference, NW15-20)

This soft, nude pinky beige isn't my typical blush shade of choice, but I was drawn to it the last time I saw it at Sephora. It just seemed like it would be the perfect shade to wear when in search of that very natural, angelic, innocent flush. On my NC25 skin, it's a little hard to detect, but I like that - I've just grown so accustomed to blushes with a considerable amount more color that this is a nice change. I'm the type of girl who even goes to the gym and the grocery store with a little bit of something, because otherwise I feel like I just look downright scary - and this is the perfect color for that. It's wearing blush without wearing blush. Very pretty!
