I bought this product at local store called Fallas Paderes similar to big lots, Marshall's, and Ross. The price was $3.99 so I thought was a gret bargain, however once I got home I swatched the product on my wrist and it was chalky with absolutely NO PIGMENTATION at all!! The packaging was in a ok cardboard recycled package which included a brush and mirror. The color I chose was blushing organics it looked like a matte blush but like I said absolutely no pigmentation. Waste of money. Wet n Wikd has better blushes for about $2.00. Not happy.

I cannot get anything from this blush! What the heck is up with this product? It's like rubbing a plastic blush, nothing comes off. I've tried my fingers, a tissue, brushes, I've even scraped off the top layer just in case but still no pigment. Truly confusing. I have to say though, perhaps those of us who are having pigmentation trouble first tried to swatch & rub it with our fingers & therefore may have damaged the product. I think the rubbing may have reacted & pressed the powder too tightly, making it impossible to get any pigment. It clearly works for some people who probably went at it with a brush first. I would say that if it worked, it might be an option for those looking for a truly organic, all-natural blush. Even the packaging is made from organic material -- I can appreciate its design but I think the chintzy papery clear cover on the top & bottom is very easy to poke a hole through and totally tear up. I'm truly confused by it all.

I am still confounded by this blush. It looks to have pigment, yet nothing shows up on my face-- or my fingertips or a tissue I wipe onto the blush. It defies physics.
Unfortunately, I did not buy this blush for its ability to astound and confuse, and was very disappointed.
I am quite fond of many PF products and was excited over this purchase. Alas.
Also, the brush is garbage: rough and cheap. I didn't mind the packaging, thought is was very cute and seemed durable.

This blush belongs in a carnival in one of those tents full of mysteries. "Behold here is the blush that when applied leave no trace of colour on your checks" [audience gasps in disbelief, a lady in the back faints].

I bought this on sale for $5, retail being $30. I still feel ripped off. It comes in an 'organic' cardboard packaging that is just a bitch because it is so damn flimsy. It looks and feels like it could disintegrate by merely looking at it. The brush is awful, just turf it. Using your own blush brush, you'll find you scrub and scrub away at the powder to get some colour onto your cheeks. After literally scratching the powder to make it loose and then applying directly to cheek, I finally managed to get a VERY SOFT pink. It wasn't a nice shade, more suited for 80s RSL wear with some blue eyeshadow. Suffice to say, the bin was this blush's new maison.

I won't be buying this dud ever again.

Horrible! Couldn't get it to show up on my NW15 skin, no matter how hard I tried!

I swapped for one of these blushes and other stuff from the organic line, and I really like them. I also couldn't get the color to show no matter what brush I used. Then I got the genius idea of using the brush it came with, and viola! Color on my cheeks! Granted, it's not the softest brush, but it doesn't irritate my skin and makes the color show, so I'll use it. The smell doesn't bother me, even tho I'm sensitive to that sort of thing. I love the ingredients and benefits of this product, and will use it til it's gone.

I really like the ingredient of this blush, though the color pay off is not good, especially when I have the lightest color (natural). I am NC30 and it barely show at all. I was going to return it, but then, I will make it work by using it as a base for other powder blush (I like that it is sheer and matte). So, that I can get the benefit of the ingredient and the color of my choice (I have a few Nars and some MAC, and others pigmented blushes).

I love the idea of this blush and hopefully they'll get a better formula soon. I thought maybe my skin was too tan, but now that it is winter I still barely see anything of pigment even when applying two and three coats. Again, I love the idea and I can always find this brand on clearance which is even better, but I would definitely not purchase this again.

I actually like this blush, which I only tried because it was on sale. I have it in the mauve color, and I think it is a very nice shade and can be used on a wide range of skin tones. This is a very sheer blush, which is why it works so well for me -- I don't usually look for a very saturated blush and like only a slight bit of color. It looks like a natural, slight blush against my skin tone. If, for whatever reason, you're looking for high-impact blush that's going to give you a more vibrant flush, this is definitely the wrong product for you. Also, it doesn't have incredible staying power. I don't know if I would buy it again at full price, but if I found in on sale again, I'd repurchase it.

Ick. There is no way that this blush ever shows up on my skin- or even a piece of white paper I tested it on. It came in a kit because I wouldn't have bought it alone. I had high hopes for the mineral wear line from PF and was sooo disappointed.

I was really excited to try an organic make up. This was disappointing. No matter how much i tried to get the make up on my face nothing showed. Im really pale so there should be some color shown.

I got this blush in "Rosy Organics" maybe two months ago. I am very happy with the quality and color of this blush. It shows up really well on my skin and gives a rosy color to my cheeks. Yes, there is kind of a weird smell...its not too bad. The packaging is really great. It stays shut and it is using less plastic than an ordinary compact. I hated the brush that came with it and used my regular blush brush.I actually already see a tiny bit of the bottom of the tin, so I have gone through it pretty quickly. Overall, if you have olive, medium or tan skin, I think this color would definitely suite your blush needs and I would recommend it.

Edit: I have almost gone through it all, which makes me think that I am using more than the usual amount of powder blush for the color I want. I probably would not repurchase because of this and the smell.

Gave it to a friend...I couldn't stand the very strong, floral smell. If it's organic and supposedly gentle, why add a strong scent? I could smell it hours after I applied it. Also, the coverage was very light (I had the peachy toned one), it was practically invisible, even on my fair skin. I thought it was pricey - I'd rather they didn't include a brush (which was a cheap brush anyway) or mirror and charge less for it instead.

I bought this blush on sale at Target for 1/2 price. I rated the price in the middle since I purchased it on sale. For the quality, paying full price would be really high. The blush did not show up on my fair skin at all - no matter how much product I tried to apply or what blush brush I used to try and pick up the color. Since the color would not show up, it was really hard to tell what the quality would be. The cardboard packaging seems durable, and it is nice that it can be recycled..

That smell!!! I dont care if it fades after a while or if I cant smell it when its on my face it bothers me to the point that I hesitate to even open the containter!!! And while I like blushes that you can build up the intensity gradually with applications, this one didnt show up after at least 4 tries. If it was cheaper I might not have been so disappointed but usually PF is good to me and $10 was a waste on this product.

Very disappointed with this product, especially since its Physician's Formula, I expected it to be good. The product had a weird smell and the brush sucked. There was no difference even after I applied a lot with a different brush. It was more like a face pressed powder. I had to return it.

The only thing I liked about it was the magnetic closure. The product is made out of recycled paper so I imagine it'll mess up when it gets wet.

I love the package and I love the little mirror and the palette is cute, however, the actual product did nothing. It's very dry, the brush sucks, and I just didn't like it. Thank god it was free.

Just imagine someone you don't like had just licked your face and you don't have a chance to wash it off for awhile or you kissed someone who's got not only bad breathe but don't know how to kiss as well...there's the smell!

First of all, I love the packaging! It's so easy to open and close. I did not notice any smell, whatsoever. I got the Pink Organics. This was on clearance at Walgreen's for $3.19. I really like it-as far as blushes go- I like to wear a shade that's just barely there, anyway-so I can see why some say it doesn't show up on their skin. Also, I'm very fair, so this works well for me. I don't know if P.F. is discontinuing some of the Organic line-I think I may go back and buy another one just in case.
I wasn't going to buy this, because I've tried the Organics stick concealer and that was simply horrible!

I got this on clearence at Walgreens and it is horrible. I am going to try and return it. I got them in rosey and natuaral one and they're horrible. Especially the natural one, it does not show up worth anything and I have fair fair skin, I swatched it and it had the color of a powder. So I thought it might work as a face powder, that was a big mistake, it turned my skin orange. And the rosey color doesn't really show up either. It's also really espensive, I think it used to be like $8.
