This product was strangely lighter than my other Tarte cheek stains, even though it has the same product weight listed. The color is a deep pink-red with gold shimmer, which was flattering on me. It's quite deep, so I don't need a powder blush on top. The texture was also different from the regular Tarte cheek stains, slightly drier, but still blendable. I will use this while I have it but I wouldn't buy it again.

I love Tarte cheek stains... I wish they wern't so expensive though. You do get a lot of product for the money. They last forever as well. But the initial sticker shock gets ya lol. This is amazing! I looks great on. I apply this and use a little powder blush on top to make it last. and last it does! Makes me feel glowy. I took a lippy off for smell. Initially it smells like cherries with a weird chemically scent. Not that big of a turn off that I won't use it.

I think I may be in love. No really, this stuff is a-ma-zing. I didn't know what to expect when I got this. I thought it might be a little hard to word with, but it is honestly superb. I generally like having powder blushes because of my unnaturally oily skin, but you are the only exception, you are the only exception, you are the only exceeeeeption.
It definitely leaves a sheen on your cheeks, but it is not an oily sheen, it is really pretty. Take it from me, the Queen Of Oil. It looks like you put on a luminizer or something. I am not complaining, because I have higher cheekbones, and it fits in perfectly. If you don't like that kind of look, slap on some powder, and head out the door. This makes my worst days look like I am an angel fairy on a mission to save the world. Okay, weird analogy, but you look pretty by the end of this.
It is especially handy-dandy if you are running out the door, and only have time for a little mascara and blush. You won't look like you've missed out on anything, because this will make you look like you are awake, refreshed, and ready to take on the world. Also, it has got tons of antioxidants and other good-for-you nutrients. It hasn't got any nasty stuff like parabens or phthilates in it, so I'd say you wouldn't have to worry about that.
All in all, I would recommend this to anyone and everyone. If you can't afford it, maybe get it on ebay or something because it is some good stuff. When I'm out (If I'm ever out, because this is a lot of product), I will repurchase until I can't anymore.

SETTLES INTO PORES. You can't even normally see mine on my cheeks but this settles right into them. It also doesn't blend well and it feels really sticky on my cheeks. The packaging is also really inconvenient as the push up tube likes to fall back down rather than stay in its position. Not into this and I don't understand why everyone likes these blushes.

I really enjoy Tarte cheek stains. I use this color in the summer time when I don't have any other make-up on. Pros: light color, goes on smooth, long lasting, tons of product for $. Cons: can be hard to find the best way to apply. I would buy this again if I needed to. There is so much, I think it will last me for years!

I am a huge fan of Tarte cheekstains, so much so that I own nearly every one of them. I opened this cheek stain the other day, and both the texture and smell were off. I had only used it two or three times in the few months that I had it. I conclude that, apparently, I need to buy cosmetics that contain preservatives.

The new formula for the natural stains is nowhere close to the original cheek stain formula. Tarte cheekstains are my HG blush, but I really do not like the new formula. I usually buy every single cheekstain that Tarte makes. I definitely will not buy another natural one, regardless of how nice the color may be.

Bought this because my Sephora didn't carry any other Tarte blushes other than Full Blossom. (I was originally looking for Tipsy)
The consistency and smell reminded me of playdough. I had to apply with my fingers because the tube was so wide and it didn't apply to my cheeks evenly. It left a tacky feel to my cheeks all day, and the colour wasn't even that great on my Asian skin. For $39 CAD, I returned this to Sephora for a refund.

I really like this blush! For starters I am thrilled that Tarte made one of their cheek stains without parabens, phthalates, or petrochemicals, as I am trying to avoid those in my skin care and cosmetics as much as possible. There is a very mild smell, kind of waxy to me, but it does not last, and is not offensive in any way, and I am very sensitive to smells in my face products. The color is a lovely natural rosy flush and I found the application to be light and buildable with a foundation brush. I actually prefer this one to other cheek stains as I don't like the scent in those and sometimes those can get too tacky in their texture whereas this one is not at all. Thumbs up to Tarte for this product! I hope they do more "green" cosmetics.

I dont know what anyone is talking about a rose smell, mine smells like playdough. And the packaging is huge and misleading. You really only get half a tube fo product and the rest is all just a plastic push part. Its gives too much color its I use my fingers to instead I use a very small foundation brush to apply it. The product is not secured into the tube be carfeul I pushed up to far and it fell out. It does go on quite natural

I bought this thinking that ok, it's natural, sounds nice and hopefully won't clog pores or do anything crazy to my sensitive skin. The color was alright, but just alright, nothing that great. I am a blush freak, it is the one product I really think makes a difference and would never go without, but this was not worth it. AND it smelled funny.....I know it's natural, but it smelled almost like play doh or something icky.......not good. And I didn't like the texture. The swril is only for maketing purposes I feel, it does nothing for the actual look. If you like their stains, I wouldn't pick this one.

The one Tarte product that i have tried that I don't like. I love their orig. formula cheek stains and own most of them, but htis natural one smeels funny, doesn't glide on as well, has no staying power on me. The color is pretty, but doesn't show up on even my fair skin or stay. Maureen, please don't stop making the orig cheek stians-they ROCK! This one, however, went back to Sephora.

I think the idea of this is really great, but this just didn't work for me. The color didn't last at all on my pale skin. I'm with the other people that mentioned the smell. It would last forever and it wasn't pleasant. I could smell it on my fingers for hours after, even after washing my hands. The worst part of this for me, and the deciding factor in returning it, was that it made my cheeks break out with big cystic acne. May work for other people, but not for me.

WTF? What smell is everyone referring to? I'd ordered this, then read the reviews, and was TERRIFIED that it would be stinky. I truly cannot smell anything. Weird. Anyway, I like Tarte cheek stains a lot. This looks sweet and natural on my pale skin, like a real flush. I say I'd repurchase, but I think this will last me the rest of my life. It's a huge tube, like they always are.

Oh my - the smell! I read the reviews, but I ignored them because I am not that sensitive to smells. But this smells like that cheap VS rose fragrance everyone had in 7th grade. I can't take it. It's going back. I might still buy a different one if the smell isn't as strong - in general, I've read good reviews about the product (the versions other than this specific edition).

yikes this smells awful. and it does not go away after a minute like others have said, I tried it out and I put it on hours ago and it still smells lightly if someone is close to my face (example: my boyfriend). thankfully he won't get to even complain about this, because I'm returning it ASAP. also, it faded off pretty quickly. nice pink color though.

As AAB, this gives me a lovely natural rosy cheeks. I am a big fan of Benetint, but Tarte cheek stain is a lot more easier to apply. I just smear some on my fingers and blend it on my cheeks. ***UPDATE*** It just dried up for no good reason! Back to Benetint. I won't get this again.

I guess I am the minority here, I didn't care for this product. The idea itself is great as I love the natural blush but this color did not show up on me at all and the staying power of the Tart blushes are not good on myself. They never stay on, after just an hour I look in the mirror and see nothing. Also the color of this does not come up on me and I am not really tan or anything like that. I would have to layer it on and then it wouldn't stay on. I also do not like the way it never dried and always has that gel feeling on your cheeks. I tried to put finishing powder on after using this and maybe your not supposed to do that but it just stuck on my cheeks and that is a problem for me as I touch up throughout the day as I get oily in the t zone at times. This blush just isn't for me even though it seems many like it. My skin and Tart blush just do not mix. I tried the Laura Geller Just Pinked cheeck stain and LOVE IT, it is working out for me perfectly.

UPDATE: This cheek stain seemed to dry out much quicker than the regular Tarte cheek stains, so I'm taking off 2 lippies. It should have lasted longer considering the price. I ended up throwing it away.
ORIGINAL REVIEW: I was really pleased when Tarte came out with a second color of their natural cheekstain. I think that Full Blossom is a great rosy pink shade that looks very natural on fair to light skinned ladies. It is creamier than the other Tarte cheekstains, and doesn't have the sticky feeling. I apply this with a cream blush brush and it looks like a natural flush, not like I am wearing blush. This is a definite repurchase for me. For reference, NC15 / BB Porcelain / Tarte Peaches N' Cream Fair, with dark brown hair and brown eyes.

my hubby gave this to me as an advance b-day gift. he knew that im gaga over tarte cheekstain,anyways this is really a nice pink blush,it has a smell of an rose which i dont kinda like but tolerable. its not like the usual tarte cheekstain's consistency, its cream and not gel. i like the pink color though. the color shade is like nars mata hari but a little lighter, i like this one though. i would buy it if i ran out. but i know it will take for a while thouhg since the blush is big in size. tarte really knows how to sweep every girl's heart.
