I bought this at CVS for 75% off. I don't think I would pay $12 for this blush, even though I do really like it. But there are similar blushes for much cheaper, at full price. Anyway, this is the blush I reach for in the morning when I don't have time to fool with bronzer/blush/highlighter routine. A couple sweeps of this on the cheeks and it warms up my complexion, giving me a natural glow. It is a bit shimmery, but not in your face...just a nice warm sheen that accentuates the cheekbones. Perfect for an everyday, neutral, office friendly blush. I would purchase again, but not at full price. I should have picked up a backup during the sale.

I’m sad to see that this blush didn’t work on people with similar skin tones as me. I’m an NC20-25 and I absolutely love this blush! To be honest, I only purchased it because it was 75% off at CVS. Before I used it, I checked the reviews here and didn’t have high hopes for this product at all. But I used it, and LOVED the muted beigy pink it gave on my cheeks! I have oily skin, so I’m usually not a fan of shimmer, but the shimmer is very subtle and acts like a highlight without accentuating my pores or oiliness. Like another reviewer said, it’s like a blush, bronzer and highlighter in one, so I love the versatility of the product.
Also, this product is the only blush that I’ve been complimented on when wearing it! I ran out to a different CVS and bought 2 backups :)

Wow! I came by to leave a good review for this, and didn't experience any of the negatives that I see here.

I bought this in 'Honey' and didn't have any coverage problems with it at all: it takes a couple of sweeps (which I like, since it's buildable and blendable)...but the result for me has been a very beautiful, ever-so-slightly shimmery neutral, which I love. And I wear a pretty decent primer, so it lasts all day. Maybe it's more noticeable because I'm so pale? I'm a fan of shimmer (not glitter, just a liiiiittle shine) as well, which many people aren't.

I've had better, much more expensive blushes, but this was a good match for me. And I got it on sale for like eight dollars so I thought it was a great value!

I really like this product b/c it gives you a nice healthy look and it lasts a good amount of time. I was able to get this on sale, but I don't think I would pay full price (something like $14) for this because that's a lot of money for a drugstore brand and it doesn't seem like you get that much.

I was very pleasantly surprised by this blush. I have to say the quality is very impressive. It is very long lasting and it gives me a nice healthy look. When I started wearing this, people commented how rested and fresh I looked. Little did they know that the only change I had made was switching to this blush. You can apply little or build it up and it will still give you a very natural look. It's the only blush I use now and it is awesome. I highly recommend this blush, it's truly worth every penny!

I don't know what there are so many oposing views on this product. I've been wanting this for the longest time, but the price always held me back. I am not willing to pay 12 or 13 bucks for a drugstore blush. And they don't even give you that much! So that was dissapointing. But the product itself was a total love for me! The payoff is pretty good I think. Reminds me of MACs Warm Soul blush. It makes me look warmed and healthy. It gives me a glow without making me look oily. and my favorite thing is that it acts as my highlighter, blush, and bronzer in one. LOVE

Honey is a pretty rosey brown shade. Its a mineral blush so it's sheer and feels light. It does have shimmer but teeny tiny bits of it. It's really a great blush but I hate the packaging and the brush is seriously like the size of an eyeshadow brush. I would give the actual blush 5 stars and the packaging 2 stars. I think revlon is a great brand but their packaging needs to be updated.

I have to swipe this blush several times to get the color to show up on my skin (NC25 )and even more so when I'm tanned. I find it too shimmery once it does show on my skin. I won't be repurchasing.

I have this blush in "Petal", and it is a soft, peachy pink...not orange; looks very natural...the trick to getting enough color, I've found, is apply with a cotton ball. A couple of swirls over the blush, then to your cheeks and you get a really pretty flush of color.
The downside is the puny little brush that came in the package fell out of the case and hasn't been seen since.

I have been using blushes that are too pink or too bright peach. On my fair skin I decided I looked a bit clownish so I went in search of a more natural flush. This color looked just right, I went home and read the reviews here and was not optimistic. Then the next day I used this and was pleanantly surprised. The color totally shows up on me. If I were to put on 2 or 3 coats I would look like a brazen hussey. I love the color. It is not bright and ridiculous looking like a lot of blushes. It does add a nice, more natural looking blush to my face. Doesnt last all day but nothing does. Oh, the brush is the silliest little thing ever. It shouldnt even come with a brush, its a waste.

This blush doesn't show up to the party. I applied it and applied it, I think I had about 5 or 6 layers on before I could see a hint of color.

I don't wear MAC but I had been matched to NC35/NC37 about a year ago when I was contemplating trying that brand. That's just for reference.

The reason I picked up this particular color is because it looked to be the darkest and most pigmented of the lot and I was wrong.

Beautiful in the pan, nothing makes it to the face.

I like this blush, I actually own three of them, two of this shade and another pink shade. I like this particular shade since I was looking for a nice peachy and bronzey color. It takes a couple of times to show up the color, so I don't like that. Another thing that I don't like is the freaking glitter.. I haven't seen it, until the other day that I looked at my self in the sunlight and I was like: wtf! :S So I don't thing I will repurchase.

Honey is a great color for the blush-phobe. Very natural muted pink with a bit of brown. I don't mind if it takes a few swipes to get color to show up--I'd rather build it up so it looks natural. Wish people would have reviewed this color here instead of others. The little brush is ridiculous though--it's even smaller than the usual ones since they had to fit it into the small case. It would only be a good size for shadow.

Love this blush! I got it in Petal, but there wasnt a review for it, so im writing it on here. MUCH better than revlons powder blush! The color is kind of sheer but not, pretty much perfext. I only need one sweep and its perfect color pigmintation, unlike revlon powder blush where as i have to apply a few layers of it to get the desired color. LOVELOVE it. definitely recommend. The only thing i dislike about this is the brush is pointless. But i dont think anyone used the brushes that come with blushes. I use revlons blush brush which is perfect, & perfectly sized for this blush!

Love this blush! It's semi-sheer (but in a good way)and perfect for daytime or natural looks. It remind's me of a sheered out MAC Ambering Rose or NARS Love Joy. It's beautiful! It's a rosey terracotta shade with a light shimmer.

I like this blush a lot. I bought this as a temporary fix after not having my mac sheertone shimmer blush that came in the facekit and now I find I'm using it more than the mac blush. It may be too light come summer when I'm tanner but right now it's a great daytime color for work that goes on smooth and stays put most of the day.

I love this colour! A little goes a long way. I've had this since the beginning of the year and still have a lot left. Although the powder doesn't seem to be pressed as well as it should be, it's still an excellent blush.

I really like this blush, and I am also shocked that the reviews aren't better. This gives a really nice, natural flush to the cheeks. It is perfect for work (I work at a law firm, where I like to keep my makeup more on the conservative side). This blush also has very good staying power, and blends well. I will repurchase!

I'm really surprised about the not so good reviews on this. I bought it the other day, really only because Revlon was BOGOF at CVS and I need my Colorstay Active and nothing else so I figured I'll try a blush. I had kind of wanted this but was always turned off by their $13.99 price tag. Before I used it I checked on here and was alarmed by the bad reviews and almost returned it but decided to give it a shot anyway. I'm glad I did. I've been using their matte peach blush and I really like it but wanted to try some mineral blush. I can't understand why people say this isn't pigmented. It sure is on me and I'm not all that pale (I use CS in Sand Beige). As a matter of fact, I had to use a little powder to tone it down because after the reviews I read I piled it on my brush (I use E.L.F. Studio Line Complexion Brush). It doesn't last all day on me but then no blush does. It does last for several hours at least and gives me a nice healthy glow without a lot of shimmer. I'll buy it again on sale for sure. I usually switch to pinks in the winter and would like to try Petal.

You need to put so much on for even the slightest colour...

It cost me about $35 (I live in Australia) and it's soooo not worth it...

The pan has fallen out of the case already - and what is with the pathetic little brushes that are included - I really hope nobody actually uses them...

Anyway - that's all my blush bashing for the day :)
