I don't know how Revlon can call this "ColorStay". It doesn't "stay" as I can't get the "color" on my cheeks. Revlon has some great products, but this isn't one of them. Hard to believe the company came out with this blush and is charging consumers for it! Shame.

I might buy this again, if on sale, but I can understand how people wouldn't like it. It's sort of difficult to apply and not very visible once it is on. But, still, I liked it because it wasn't very visible, and I sometimes like it when I can't tell I'm wearing any makeup.

One word to describe this...HORRIFIC!!! I love Revlon cosmetics and in my opinion the best drugstore brand of cosmetics available BUT this blush is horrible. Absolute no color at all. I have to apply layer after layer just to get a hint of color and for the price I paid ($13.99) makes it even worse! Bought at Rite Aid and will be returning it. No way will I keep this.

One of the worst blushes I have tried. Lacks pigments so you have to apply a few layers to get a descent color. Does not last very long, even when considering that is a powder. Colors is nice but its just very difficult to get to show on skin. Has a bit of a shimmer to it but its not over done. Good for my sensitive skin though, no breakouts and doesn't dry out.

GOOD
- good for sensitive skin
- nice color, slight shimmer

BAD
- terrible pigements --> have to put on heavily to get color to show (doesnt look good on skin)
- terrible packaging --> brush it comes with is useless
- does not last throughout the day

I picked this up in Deep Bronze thinking it will show up on my skin and all that showed up was glitter. This is a really bad product and I can't believe how Revlon can call it a blush. I was very disappointed and my local fred myer had a problem when I tried to return it.

I agree with most of the complaints here -- the packaging is crappy, the blush comes off in a mess, and the tiny brush is a joke. However,the shade itself is pretty good for pale, yellow-toned skin. It goes on very sheer so it looks pretty natural, if you don't mind a bit of sparkle. Actually, I do so I returned it.

I think the color of this blush is really nice but the way they have it in the compact can be kinda hard to apply.

I am a longtime fan of Chanel blush. This has made me change my ways. This provides natural longwearing color. It's great for my sensitive skin.

I bought this product in Golden Bronze, and it's too sheer for my fair medium skin tone.
I'm so disappointed.
DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT!

I have this in all 4 shades. They are very pretty colors, but only if you like blushes that are very sheer, and with a bit of shimmer. I was surprised that these blushes were lacking in pigment. Usually mineral blushes have the opposite problem (are too opaque), however I had to apply a few layers (using my large blush brush not the microscopic one they provide you with) to get it to even show up on my light skin. I like Revlon's regular blushes better, one swipe of those and I have nice rosy cheeks with color that lasts. High price, with too little color payoff.

revlon does have some good products (especially the colorstay line- foundation and nailpolish) but unfortunately this is not one of them. i bought this at cvs in a bogof deal. i purchased honey and petal and was really excited to use them since the other colorstay products i used really did last. however, these blushes fell way short! they have no pigment so you really have to layer it on to see anything. in addition, after getting sufficient color on my cheeks it lasted the same amount of time as my other blushes do. at the 13.99 price for one and considering you don't get much product (i noticed a huge difference in the dome after 1 week) these blushes are not worth your time and money. although the packaging was nice and simple, the brush that came wih it was the worst i have seen. try chanel or mac's pro color blushes.

Not the best. Not even in the same family as the best. More like, an aquaintance of the best. Unlike everyone else who seems to have to little colour, i have too much from it. I find that it doesn't blend well, and after while, it either looks to harsh, or like I'm not wearing it at all. I haven't been able to find a happy medium. The packaging is nice, less the mess the creates inside with usage. The brush i'm not sure of as I always use my own. In any case, it's not great, and not reccommended.

I bought this in bronze, (deepest bronze I think) It's terrible. No pigment, I mean dosn't show up at all, the brush that it comes with is almost comical, they might as well not include one it's so useless. Really bad product in my opinion, the Miliani Mineral blush is much better, at a fraction of the cost. Very dissapointing product.

Disappointing product. I love trying out all the d/s mineral makeup, so I had high hopes for this. But I've worn it 3-4 times and I still have trouble making it work (plus it's pretty expensive for a d/s blush). I bought this in Petal, which is a dusty rose with a pretty golden sheen. The blush itself is domed, which I presume is a knockoff of Chanel (and which is why I couldn't resist). However, the blush itself is somewhat hard to blend -- powdery or chalky -- very much unlike most mineral blushes (like Jane's loose powder version, which I love). It doesn't diffuse on my skin and give me a glow like other mineral blushes, but instead just sits on top of my skin and looks a little streaky. Its only positive is that it is a natural rosy color that is pretty versatile on me.

Pretty colours, but too streaky, not worth it.


I tried the RoseBerry twice so far - a beautiful bright pinky-berry colour. Good level of pigmentation for this CCC gal. No muddiness, no brown, no plum.


Tried it once with the horrid brush it comes with and another time with a proper high-quality brush. Even with the better brush, still seems streaky.. which is unfortunate b/c the colours really are lovely.

Ever since Revlon came out with their Color Stay line, I've been wishing they would come out with a blush. I was looking around at CVS at their new products (a must when I'm there!) and was very happy to see they finally had a blush line! Even though it is mineral, I thought I'd give it a whirl. I really didn't want to spend the money on it (a little pricey), however I just HAD to try it. I have to say, I'm am very disappointed. The packaging is O.K. I like a more "square" blusher package, and the brush it comes with is ridiculously small, (I use my own anyway) but it wasn't horrible either. After using this product for nearly a week, I noticed that the pores on my cheeks appeared huge. I never have had a problem with my pores, ever. I have found that for some people, mineral MU can do this. I would like to see Revlon come out with just a regular Color Stay blush. I would try that, however IMO I will not buy this particular product again.
EDIT: O.K. So, about 3 weeks ago, I remembered that I had gotten a moderate chemical burn on my face from this cheap foundation primer I had bought at CVS about 2 weeks before purchasing this product. I had thought it was healed when I bought it. However, it seemed to flare up again later (I think the layers of my skin that were burnt were still healing). I tried the blush out again, and well, I don't have as big as a dislike of it as I did before. It still to me is a little on the shiny side, however as far as making my pores look larger, that was just actually my skin cells that were a bit ragged from the burn. I'm still not sure if I would buy this again, however I wanted to be fair in my review and let everyone know that it's not a bad product!

I loved Revlon's new LE products (the floral blushes and lustrous eye trios), so I cannot believe how horrible this blush is. Retails for 13.99 usd (AND you only get about .06 oz of blush, a third of what you usually get in a blush). I tried the shade honey (which appeared like a browned-peach) for one week, but this product lacks pigment! I tried three swipes and really tried to dig my brush into the powder, but I couldn't get any color. (I am a NC30 gal). These blushes have the same bad texture as the LE diamond lust shadows (hard and chalky). Save your money for another mineral line (I recommend Loreal or Maybelline mineral blushes).
