This blush has a powdery dusty pink appearance. The texture is creamy & easy to apply. Unfortunately this colour is not ideal for me yet would be perfect for someone with a fairer, smoother & cooler complexion. It doesn't have the staying power & is gone within a couple of hours. I have only recently purchased this product & am not familiar with cream blushes so in all fairness I'll experiment & update a little later. I see no logic in purchasing another blush to go on top yet I'll attempt applying with a brush. The packaging is nice yet doesn't equate to it's quality. At this stage, I wouldn't repurchase or recommend.

It may look like a bright color in the packaging but once you put it on your skin its a true pink color. I used my finger when applying this. Its easy to blend with a natural look. You can build it up if you want to without the color looking un-natural

Another awesome thing I heard about from people talking about the 75% off CVS sale going on... I figured for a couple bucks I can try it out. I have never tried SH Makeup before. Only nail stuff.
I have so say, so far I am impressed.
Pigmentation- light but buildable. Very natural looking. I love the color
Formula- Creamy.. not too waxy as I've found w/ some cream blushes
Price- Even at regular price, not bad

So far, it doesn't seem to bother my skin... Time will tell.

I also picked this up on sale at CVS for realllly cheap! This product would get 5 stars if it didn't break me out! I put it on one day, woke up the next morning with a big pimple on my cheek. I have oily acne prone skin. I would highly recommend this if you don't break out easy though! It has great pigmentation and is a beautiful color. :)

Beautiful barbie pink--bubblegum pink shade (basically the color in the pan, u get exactly what u see!) The cream blush is opaque in the pan but goes on sheer and is veryy blendable (similar to NYC cream blush sticks) veryy buildable from a natural flush to an obvious glow so layering will give u the opaque color in the pan, lasting power--all day for me 6-8 hrs and o yea PARABEN FREE!

Im a NC25 n this shows up on me as well as my sister of NC35. You don't need alot, a slight dab with even a single finger will give color payoff. And ofcourse use a brush if your sharing, works great with a stippling one. You get 0.1 oz of the product & I found it on drugstore.com for about $5 (retails about $9 normally at cvs) Love the green rim around the packaging & the leaf in the center (im going to upload a pic just to show u guys) puts me in the fall mood perfectly just like the shade.

I bought this many months ago on sale... I tried it on my face once or twice, threw it in the bathroom cupboard, and forgot about it. The idea of a cream blush has always intrigued me, but I could never get the application quite right. I gave up.
Now, fast-forward to now, and I came across this barely touched pan. I almost threw it away... and then I caught my MAC 188 brush out of the corner of my eye. All of a sudden, something clicked! I eagerly dabbed and blended this stuff onto my cheekbones with my trusty brush, stood back from the mirror, and THERE IT WAS. I finally get it!
The staying power is decent, the color is a flattering natural pink (neither too cool nor too warm), and the packaging feels pretty sturdy. I like how this makes my skin look all gleamy and glowy. I only wish I had figured out how to use this at the beginning of the winter, because I don't see it having a lot of staying power in the heat.
Now that I've discovered the trick of using a duo-fiber brush with cream blush, I run the risk of becoming addicted to a new genre of makeup!

This is one of the better cream blushes sold in drugstores. I payed $9 for it, and I thought it was a bit overpriced, but the quality is amazing! I love the soft texture of this blush, and it it blends in to my skin beautifully. It looks like a bubblegum pink color when I put a little on my finger, but it blends into a gorgeous natural flush on my cheeks. I love it for my fair skin, but it is a very light color and it's very sheer. I love this blush, but next time I'll try a darker color. The packaging really surprised me, because I dropped it and it didn't get damaged at all!

I love Carmindy, who doesn't? I like this blush, nice and sheer and works great as a base for your powder blush. Will be repurchasing when I run out, whenever that is because this will prob last a long time.

I tried this one and also the Bloom color. The texture is fabulous and blendable but neither Bloom nor Beaming is a "universal" color. This one, Beaming, was far too light for my olive/tan skin (NC35). Furthermore, it is a pink with blue undertones which were an immediate clash with my yellowish skin. It was immediately wrong for me, both due to the blue-ness and the light color. Great for someone else I'm sure, but not for everyone. UPDATE: I had great success with this product in "Ginger." If you are NC35 give that a try instead.

I love this cream blush. At first I never used it b/c the color is so light pink and would fade within an hour of wearing it. BUT now I top it off with a dusting of Benefit Dandelion and the combp is so glowy and pretty. I this blush combo paired with a dark eye and a pale pink lippie. Love!

This is a very mute pink, nice in combination with powder blushes or alone. blends nice and give a natural "flustered" look, not too over powering and the finish is matte but dewy. Not a powder finish. good product overall.

Overall a great product. With this you definitely pay for what you get. It's an extremely natural pink, it adds a subtle hint of pink to your cheeks and is very inviting and flirtatious if you ask me. It applies and blends well without a sponge or applicator (i just use two fingers). It's great on all skin tones, however I've found it looks best on fair skinned girls. I'd reccomend this to anyone, it's a very promising product.

I'm so not good at describing colours, so bear with me. In the pot this is a very neutral, browned pink. Applied it sheers out and adapts to your own skin tone, so cool toned girls will pull more cool pink, and vice versa. I'm neutral to slightly cool and this applies as a very natural baby pink.


The texture of this cream blush is to die for. There must be some silicone in there as it glides on so smoothly. It seems like a cross between a NYX cream blush (very creamy) and an Armani one (very siliconey), leaning more to the NYX side. I used to love Stila's Convertible Colour Blushes, but after finding NYX's and Sally Hansen's I rarely use my Stila ones. Compared to this new generation of cream blushes, the Stila CCs are barely blendable and drag across my cheeks, sticking to any dry patches and aggravating any dry areas.


I normally do not break out from cheek products, and have had no problems with this one.


Me: neutral to cool ppp (about nw10) with auburn hair and freckles. Skin is dry and sensitive, and prone to product induced breakouts, but not black heads or cysts.

Great, light pink blush. The color is beautiful and very flattering on my NW20 skin. The formula is great - creamy but drying to a powder finish. It applies like a freakin' dream - so blendable, melts right into my cheeks. Great stuff, reasonable price, esp. with sales.

This is a great color, a bit cooler toned than it looks in the package, but great on my fair skin. It's matte, blends well and lasts all day. A definite rave!

It applies very easily, nice creamy formula and wears well all day long on my NC20 skin. Generous size and I like the broader pot as it makes it very easy to apply. The color is slightly lighter and cooler than I expected and it has a completely matte finish. The only reason I would not repurchase is that I prefer a bit warmer shade w/some glow to it. Other than that it is excellent quality.

It's not sheerest. It's not even sheer. It is a nice lightweight opaque blush.

The sleek container with a green metallic rim has a clear window to view the product. With drugstore displays, the lack of testers make it imperative to see the product to judge color. Although the top of the compact is clear, there is a leaf etched on it and plastic wrap shrink fitted. Those coverings make it difficult to see the color.

The cream to powder formula leaves a soft powdery finish. It can be wron over bare skin or foundation.
