I absolutely love this blush. I am one of those girls who has tried every kind of blush there is, I was never really picky about it. But once I tried this one, I fell in love. The first one I had, got broken on accident by a relative, and when that happened, I freaked out. Especially since the store I had bought it from no longer had it. So I went online and ordered it, and all was well again :) It comes in a larger than normal compact, which means that there is more blush and I am not running out all the time to by more (which is what usually happened in the past). Plus a little swipe or two with the blush brush goes a long way. This stuff lasts forever, I will never buy another kind of blush if I can avoid it. I would recommend this blush to anyone and everyone. Plus its great on my skin, which is very sensitive anyway.

I can't believe I haven't written a review for this yet. This is probably my favorite blush of all time, & that's saying a lot considering how many I own :P. This is the only blush I've gotten compliments on. I bought this blush back in 2010, & I still have it. I know it sounds gross but even after wiping down the surface consistently it has still lasted this long from continuous use. A little goes a long way with this product. I use the Complexion Brush by ELF(studio). I find that the fluffiness of the brush really controls the application & gives me the soft glow I'm aiming for. This blush is close to a bronzer so I never really wear bronzer with it, I enjoy the convenience of having a blush and bronzer in one product, if I'm in a hurry. I even find that it enhances other blushes if I decide to layer colors. I've never used MAC but I'd say I'm around an NC37-42 depending on the season. I think this blush would look great on anybody if they apply it correctly. The packaging kinda sucks for clumsy people like yours truly. & Yes, I have repurchased a back up :)

Looking at this product I didn't really know if I wanted it or not.. but I was wrong about doubting it.. I love it!! I love the colour, even though my skin is pale with a tinge of yellow. I was worried I'd look orange... I don't own any bronzer or brown coloured blusher.. but applying this lightly.. it really looks lovely as a contour!! I will definitely buy this again.. I want to buy all the other shades now!

My first thought was that it may be too dark as blush for my NC35 skin. The color from the pan looks cocoa with specks of pink. However, when put on the cheeks with a duo fibre brush and light hand, the color looks gorgeous! I even go for darker application at times and the result is still gorgeous! This color is especially good for the summer. It gives a healthy summer glow! This has a staying power as well.

I went to my local Wal-Mart to pick this up. I just love trying new products. I saw a few review on youtube and thought it looked interesting. I was debating between this and the Milani baked blushes. I typically like buildable blushes like MAC’s Buff which is my favorite. This blush is the opposite but I already read reviews knowing that I should apply with a very light hand. I actually swirled my blush brushes into the product and tested on the back of my hand first then tapped some product off to make sure I didn’t look clownish. I was very careful this morning when getting ready for work.. I didn’t want to come in looking crazy. So far I think this complements my (if you want a reference NC 35-ish or Colorstay 340) skin tone. I’ll update this review if something changes.

I use Bombshell everyday, it's really sexy! It's a rosey bronze shade that makes my cheekbones look more defined and gives me that gorgeous sun kissed look. Its pretty cheap & its really pigmented so you only need a little bit for it to show up. I'm around NW20 and this doesnt make me look orange at all.

My new favorite contour color. Run my brush across it twice brush a line down along my contour line. Then use an angled fluffy brush to blend it out. Blends so gorgeous and it's easy to keep the color deep where you want and soft and diffused where you don't. I hate haveing to build up color in layers and this you don't. Also it's the best contour color I've found and the most natural looking for my skin.

This is such a pretty blush that can be applied either wet or dry. I can even use it as a bronzer if I am in a creative mood! I am really pleased with Hard Candy products because they are inexpensive but took the time to package their products to look gorgeous, appealing to the customer and your eyes just gravitate to the line!
I can wear this with full makeup or alone to make me look like I have been out laying at the beach. The little veins of pink blend well with the yummy chocolatey colors you almost wish it was an edible treat! It is a treat for me, I have olive skin but stay away from the sun so I am fair. I don't like tanning so a sweep of this on my face, neck, arms, etc... with a light hand gives me the look that I want to achieve for that day in sun.
As the back of the package says, "Apply dry for a soft & delicate look or use wet for intense, dramatic color"!

I adore this blush, it is an HG item for my nc 42 complexion. It is very,very flattering on tan skin tone. The color is a rosy brown and it just warms up your face. It is also practically fool proof since it is a natural color. I love the packaging and the quality. It is not powdery and reminds me of mac msf.Mac has changed their msf formula and they seem so powdery and cheap...I digress, this is a must for tan skin

This shows up so beautifully on my tan skin. It gives me a peachy glow swirled on the apples of my cheeks and makes me look luminescent when lightly brushed across my face. The pink veining in it is genius as a lot of people have pink undertones in their skin. The packaging and quality are great. Lid snaps shut and stays there, yet it's easy to get open. I really don't like it when I have to pry a lid open because this usually ends up breaking the product inside. I'd recommend this to anybody from a fair shade to an olive shade. I'm not sure how well this would work on a very dark skinned person. Usually people with this shade have blue undertones in their skin, but for its price, this blush (or bronzer if that's how you use it) is worth a try.

SO I love LOVE this bronzer. It's cheap, not too shimmery, doesn't leave powder everywhere when you swirl your brush on it. Has a beautiful colour.
I'm not a fan of the packaging since my cat knocked it down and it shattered all over, but whatever it's not a big deal.

The BIG CON with this is that it made me break out. I'm not sure why but I would get pimples whenever I used it to contour my face.

I wish it would work out for me because honestly it's a great product.

FINALLY, a bronzer that does not look fake. Although this is sold as a blush, many, including myself, use it as a bronzer. I wear this even without foundation. I still get an even tone of a bronzy look. The color is not orange, which is a huge plus. For the records, I am NC30 and have a lot of yellow in my skin tone.

This blush is exactly what I wished mac warm soul would be. When I swatch it on my hand it shows up a bronzey pink, but on my cheeks it is more bronze and a slight hint of pink. Mac warm soul looked like it would be more brown/bronze in the pan, but it showed up a light rose on my nc40 skin. For the price, the quality of this blush is amazing. It goes on so smooth and blends really well, the shimmer is also very fine and gives a nice subtle sheen, nothing over the top. Lasts all day on my cheeks too. If I ever run out, lose it, or break it I will run to walmart to replace it. It's a great fool proof everyday blush.

This is very pigmented in my opinion. I have medium dark skin, I wear C4 in mac F&B, and NW25, and this shows up so much, i really only have to use a tiny bit to get that "bombshell" look.

i do have a picture of myself wearing it in my profile, but i apply it with such a light light hand because otherwise i look ORANGE.


love the packaging, but would not buy again. I find that this almost works better as a bronzer.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this blush! Its a beautiful almost bronze with a hint of pink its gorgeous! I wouldn't use this a bronzer because it shows up lighter than my skin tone & it also is kinda shimmery & I myself like mat bronzer because I like to contour but if you like to use shimmery bronzer & your fair skinned then this is perfect to use a bronzer. The packaging is adorable I love all their packaging its adorable & the names are the cutest ever. The pigmentation is amazing I would suggest applying with a light hand. Overall I love this blush.

I have all of these but one. As soon as I can find the one that I don't yet own I will buy it as well. I love them all. I have fair skin. Get a little bit of color in the summer but for the most part am still very white. These look so natural on me. A little blush, a little bronzer, perfect. I'm excited to have found them and will purchase again without even shopping around for something new.

Bombshell is the perfect bronzer!
Pigmented rosy natural bronze, slightly luminous without frost or sparkles. No dull muddy tones at all, more like a glowy beach tan with a fleeting hint of sunburn. Will last forever, I only have to lightly tap my skunk brush to get enough color.

Clog prone sensitive skin
Neutral MMM

I don't normally wear warm toned or "natural" looking blushes, but Bombshell is perfect for giving skin a healthy, sexy glow. Bombshell is such a great name for the shade LOL. Worn lightly, I get great color to my cheeks to just add a little definition. Worn heavier, it's a very sexy sun kissed look. Great for summer.

I like the sheen the mineralized finish gives as well.

Packaging is cute, and the price is great!

I believed I paid around $5 for this, and lately I've been reaching for this everyday. All the Mac & Dior are sitting in the backburner now. I use it mainly after powder fdn to add a bit of glow & take away the matteness on my dry NC30 skin. On days when I feel like a zombie & look super dead, I use it all over, applied with a bigger brush. But remember not to do it in one go but to layer it thinnly, glowy is good, shimmery is clowny.

This blush helps add a glow to my complexion. It doesnt show up a whole lot and thats why I like it (crazy I know) I'm a blush newbie and this keeps me from looking like a clown lol. And for $7 its not bad. I did hear they break easy tho so I'm extra careful with it. For color ref I'm Nc45-50
