This is my favourite blush right now!

The container is not very pretty but it is very airtight and closes well which is nice.

The colour is a bronzey peach/plum, absolutely gorgeous and natural looking.

There is a soft shimmer that imparts a glow but definitely no visible flecks of glitter.

The creamy consistency is beautiful, incredibly easy to apply and dries quite matte.

I am extremely pale with red hair and thought this may be too dark for me but it looks beautiful and natural on me. I also tried this on my friend who is medium olive skintone and it looked great on her too!

I am so in love with becca products right now, even though I am only 21 my makeup left me looking older until I switched to lighter products and cream bases alot of them by becca. I have never looked younger or better and have had so many compliments :)

Product - In the pot, this is a lovely deep rose with bronzey undertones and silvery shimmer - interesting combination! On my cheeks (AAB/NC25), the base color goes on sheer but true to the pot but the shimmer isn't noticeable. On my lips, the shimmer is ultrafine and almost appears frosty (or maybe it's just more noticeable because the shimmer is silvery?); overall the shade looks more like a rosy pink MLBB and not as deep as in the pot due to the shimmer. Smooth and creamy texture, easy to blend and work with, and wears well.


Comparisons - Texture is similar to BB Pot Rouges. Reminds me of the color of NARS Sin powder blush in the pot, but it wears very differently.


Packaging - Same as Becca's single e/s and Lip & Cheek Cremes: rubberized brown compact with a metal piece on the lid that looks like armor or a shield and a mirror under the lid.


Overall - For a creme blush, this shade is unique... or perhaps my stash just isn't big enough yet? LOL. Much lovelier on the skin than to look at in the pot.

I'm not a big fan of Becca's spaceship packaging because of the extra space it takes up, but that's not enough to really slow me down when the product is good, and this one is. Having feared cream blushes in the past, I approached Becca's cream blushes with some trepidation. Applying their blushes with fingers made me feel like it was a bit much, so I apply them with a skunk brush and get pretty natural color. The texture of Becca's cream blushes is lovely, smooth and creamy but not too soft. They apply well and last decently on me (though, to be fair, I have very dry skin so that might be different for someone with more skin oils). This shade is a shimmery pink color (that's not quite right, but I can't think of how to describe it without invoking the name) that would probably work better with cooler color sets. While the shimmer might be a little much for some, overall, I would think the color would be pretty on all but very warm complexions. It isn't a super dark color, so it might be a little subtle on individuals with deeper skin tones.

I probably won't buy this again, myself, but it's for personal ingredient related reasons that have little to do with the product itself. So, I would still recommend it to others : )

This is my favorite blush I've ever owned. I'm NC15 and have been very dedicated to Nars Orgasm over the years as a go to blush, but now I'm all about Frangipani. It's a very complex blush imo, it has a lot of depth and when you put it on just looks totally natural. It is hard to explain in words, it has a subtle shimmer and sort of a pink/mauve color, but once applied it is just the most natural gorgeous blush. Love this stuff!

Becca, to me, has the best cream blushes out there...too bad Sephora is not carrying them anymore :(. It is not too sticky and not too shiny and very pigmented, but in a good way. No need to reapply. This is the perfect mix btwn pink and plum and looks so beautiful with green eyes, pale skin, and dark hair, esp. with plum/pink eyeshadows. I wish it were a lot cheaper, though.

Thanks to the positive reviews here, I decided to order this color sight unseen. I was not disappointed as it lives up to the descriptions and praise here (thanks MUA gals!). As mentioned it is a universally flattering rose/bronze shade with a slight silver undertone and a nice 'glow'--not obvious shimmer or sparkle, but adds a really pretty healthy sheen on the cheeks. It goes on sheerer and lighter than the color in the pan would indicate, which makes the color buildable.

I use this with the Becca #34 Cream Blush/Bronzer brush which is FAR better than applying with fingers! It deposits just the right amount of color and allows you to feather the edges so it blends perfectly. I highly recommend buying the brush along with this blush, it makes a world of difference.

I really like this blush! I haven't tried cream blushes before, but thought I'd give it a try to get a more natural look. It is soooo easy to apply with my fingertips, and I've got plenty of time to spread it out on the cheeks. I also prefer a little bit of shimmer in my blushes, so this is just how I want it. I am not sure if it lasts all day though, but I guess if I bothered setting it with powder it might. The color is very natural, just like as if you've pinched your cheeks. I love the packaging too, it seems very solid, and I'd feel very comfortable bringing it in my purse for touch-ups.

LOVE IT!!!! I'm an NC25-30 and this is the perfect color to warm up my face. I put it on over my foundation with a blush brush, then set with powder. Fir a more intense look, I finish with powder blush. BECCA packaging is wonderful.

A beautiful cream blush that is packaged in a travel ready brown rubber and steel case. The color is great and looks wonderful on my C6 skin tone, but it rubs off really quickly on my oily summer skin. It also caused some whiteheads on my skin both during the summer and even during the winter on my dry cheeks. Still searching for my perfect cream blush.

An amazing warmish, berryish colour on my C1 skin. This blush has WAY more shimmer than I usually enjoy, but I love this colour and expect it will always have a home in my makeup bag!

This is one of the easiest products to apply ever! Took me 15 seconds flat to put on over my cream foundation this morning (with my fingers) & it was my first time using it! And it looks really natural too. Now if it just lasts all day. . .

This is one of the most alluring colors I have ever tried on- the cool yet shimmery warm rose is extremely flattering whether you're going for a neutral, pale, or bronzed look. Very easy to apply, and a little dab is all you need. Not at all sticky and very layerable. I just find that the product seems to fade or disappear after a while.

The texture is fantastic and easy to blend for me. It seems like a small amount of product, but at this rate, it will seemingly last me years. I have this in the holiday set duo with Lotus, and Frangipani is a shimmery rosey-bronze color on me. It actually reminds me of NARS Cannes multiple, only not as dry and more sheer. I can see myself using this a lot in summer because it will look great with some bronzer over it. I also use it on my lips for some added color and it isn't too drying. The compact is sturdy and small enough for my purse. I have to get more of these!

I bought Frangipani online and when it arrived, I opened the product and it totally wasn't the colour I had expected it to be! I was looking for a cool rosey shimmery pink shade ... but this one looked kind of bronzey-rose!! I was reluctant to try it because it looked kind of warm and I can't wear most warms ... however, I gave it a go and I must say, this blush is quite nice. It definitely has reddish and bronzey tones in it ... but due to the fact that is is sheer and has a slight gleam, it seems to work. The shimmer is really unnoticeable on my face, it is more of a gleam -- looks really natural on my NC25-ish skin ... I also like to layer it with shimmer powder. Frangipani turned out to be a really versatile shade that contains some bronzey, pinkish, and reddish tones ... looks good on its own, but even better with another layer of something over -- depending on what type of shimmer powder I put on top, it brings out different tones and looks really really pretty. The texture is sooo smooth, creamy and gel-like ... blends so well, love the mirrored compact too. I do wish it had a tad more pink undertones, but nevertheless, still a surprisingly wearable shade. P.S. I use this one my lips too, and it works great!!

After reading other reviews on this product, it sounds as if this blush looks different on everyone! On me it is a pinky rose w/a touch of shimmer. It has become one of my favorite blushes. It is a very versatile color that I can wear with pinks, neutrals, roses, greens, purples, etc. I love that the compact has a little mirror but it is so small that it isn't really useful. But really, the only complaint I have is that the blush pkging. is the same as the concealer pkging. so I am always mixing them up.

Will not repurchase b/c it looks too orange on me- not shimmering pink! Otherwise product is of good quality. Lotus looked very nice on my very fair, neutral complexion.

I normally love cream blushes bc I feel like they last longer--not so w/ this one. Although the color is beautiful when first applied, the staying power is next to none for me. I do however love to layer it w/ a bronzer and a powder blush bc it picks up the pigments of the other products and mixes with them nicely--also making them last longer. This bad boy's a keeper tho it may not be my fave.

I think this color (dark rose with gold shimmer) has the potential to be pretty on a lot of people, but on my naturally rosy cheeks it looks like a whole lot of nothing- there is almost no payoff in terms of either color OR shimmer. I do like the texture of Becca cream blushes, but prefer other colors (such as Wild Orchid, which actually shows up on me) to this one.

Love Becca's cream blush. I tried this after seeing Allure's review. I picked this color because I wanted pink cheek color. Since I ordered this online at Sephora, I was nervous that the color wasn't what I expected. But it turned out to be a very pretty pink and very natural looking on me. I did not notice there was any fragrance in this blush though. I take away one lippy because of the price, it is very expensive among other blushes.
