This is a nice neutral pink blush I can wear every day. The formula is creamy and easy to work with. This is best applied with a stippling brush. The packaging is fragile and is prone to breaking easily. While I like this blush I will most likely not purchase again just because there are so many other cream blushes i want to try.

I am a huge fan of many shades of the NYX Rouge Cream Blush, and Boho Chic is certainly near the top of my list. It is a natural, cool-toned pink with very fine micro shimmer. Just looking at the pan, those bitty shimmers are hard to spot; it wasn't until I looked at myself in the sunlight that I realized Boho Chic contains some glitz. While the shimmer might be a deal breaker for some, I find it makes this blush a great 2-in-1 product in that it contains as a built in highlighter. Application is a breeze- I prefer to use my fingers to melt the product into my skin. The blush is super creamy, nicely pigmented, and dries down to a slightly tacky finish that leaves me glowy. Those who prefer a cream to powder or matte finish should look elsewhere. Wear time is five hours or so, and if I reapply I have no problems with build up. My only gripe with this particular shade is that it is so pale, even for my light-medium skin tone, that it performs best when I've had limited sun exposure.

I've been looking for a neutral toned but visible blush that wouldn't be powdery or too glittery and this is it. I notice some reviews here mention shimmer but I can't seem to notice any in mine. I do have Boho Chic and it's just creamy and very natural looking. Easy to apply and blend out, looks great on my skin, I've got undertones from both sides of the spectrum and this doesn't clash with anything. It also makes a nice lip color in a pinch! Would give this a go, it's not expensive and can be used with just about any synthetic brush. For instance, I use the cheap stippling duo-fiber brush from E.L.F. and it works well with this. Blends out like a dream and leaves natural wind-kissed lips, if that makes sense. If I run out...IF...because there's lots of product for what you're paying for, I'll try this one again or another color, love the Creme Blushers from NYX.

I love the Rouge Cream Blush in Glow and had high hopes for Boho Chic as well. Boho's pink shade is beautiful on pale skin and I had no issues with the application or wear time, but the micro glitters were a real deal breaker. Until there is a matte version available, it won't be a repurchase for me.

I love this product so much. I'd been looking into trying a cream blush but didn't want to spend the money on a high end product so I tried this first. Now I can't imagine spending the money for Nars, etc. because I don't think it could get better. This is the first blush I've ever used that actually lasted all day. I was a little worried about the sticky gel texture at first, but if you just apply it very lightly and then continue to build it up, you won't have a problem with it. I use a stippling brush to tap into the product, dab it onto the back of my hand to remove extra, then apply to the face and dab it up and down my cheek. The finish is so natural and dewy, not dry and powdery like so many blushes. It should last a very long time, as you use a very tiny amount each day.

if ever there was the perfect cream blush for me, and my skin tone, this would be it! It is so creamy and so well pigmented, and it glides on the skin, and feels good on the skin, and blends out so freakin well, ahhhh... i like a few other shades, but for me this is perfect!! I love this hue, and the packaging is a lot like the mac pkging, it looks sleek, and u can see the color without opening the product, and you can depot them to put them in a palette, so much the better for a mua!!!

I freakin' love this stuff. I don't know if I'll ever buy a dry blush again.


For those of you who have a hard time blending, try using a stipple brush. This gives application perfection!!


As for the color - looks great on me. Can't wait to try some more colors.

This is one of my favorite blushes of all time. And I'm genuinely surprised too after my first encounter with their cream blush formula that left me less than impressed. But this one worked for me. I'm not a major blush person, but I was really impressed with this. For the record, I'm fair skinned, paler than most, with neutral/slightly cool tones. This blush looks very good on my fair skin and as much as I love matte blush, this really makes me glow. After reading reviews on here, I was prepared for chunky glitter, ect. But I still wanted to try it, and I'm so glad I did. The color is a very light, slightly cool pink with a sheen. The sheen isn't obvious, like screaming for attention glitter. It's just slightly shimmery, giving me a slight glow that looks lit-from-within. I think this looks amazing on fair skin, and it's worth giving a try. Probably the only issue I have with it is the longevity, or lack thereof. It lasts for less than three hours. But I like my blush extremely subtle anyway, so I guess I don't mind too much.
OH ALSO this looks really good with BeneFit High Beam, just thought that should be known :)

Absolutely hate this product. Really hard to apply, I am scared it will mix with my foundation when I am applying it on my face. No brush helps, with a stippling brush it just doesnt blend well at all.
I heard soo many positive things about this product but its simply terrible. Would not recommend. For a cheaper and better alternative, try NYC blushable sticks, they are perfect

I adore NYX's Powder Blushes and Mosaic Blushes, and thought I'd give their Rouge Cream Blushes a whirl. I swapped for one in Boho Chic, which I had hoped was a dusty rose shade as represented in swatches on the NYX web site, but it was in fact a soft, rosey pink shade instead. NYX is terrible at properly representing accurate color swatches for their products!

Color mispresentation aside, the formula and pigmentation was a bit disappointing. I was comparing this to Topshop's Blush at the same time. The Topshop blush is a cream-to-powder formula, which I enjoyed because of my combo-oily skin; the cream-to-powder formula felt clean and weightless once set.

NYX's Rouge Cream Blush, on the other hand was a cream blush that stayed creamy. It melted in the pan if stored in even slightly hotter than room temperature, and was a sticky mess both in the compact and once applied on the face. I always had to set this blush with powder after applying, because it stayed tacky for a while. The pigmentation was also lacking, and was difficult to build up the intensity of it since it seemed to stay a little wet after applying.

If you do feel compelled to try this blush out, there is one thing I could recommend it for and that is as a base for powder blushes. Because it's so tacky, I have used this cream blush as a base underneath Maybelline's Mineral Power Powder Blush. It helps set the cream blush, giving the stickiness of the cream blush something to hold onto, while intensifying the pigmentation and staying power of the powder blush.

I really like this blush. It is a gorgeous soft color and it's creamy texture makes for easy blending. I just apply mine with my fingers and I can be very precise with where it goes. Sometimes I apply a powder blush right over the top and the cream blush acts like a primer and my powder blush will go all day without touch ups. So pretty, I will purchase more of these. I can however understand why some people with oily skin would not like these, they are quite dewy and I can imagine that the color would just slide right off of oily skin types.

I love cream blushes and I love NYX, so I thought this would definitely be a home run. Sadly, not so much. I prefer more of a "cream to powder" consistency, but these leave a sticky feeling on the cheek that does not look good to me. Also, it's not obvious from looking at the pan, but there is big chunky pieces of glitter. Will definitely not repurchase.

I recently added in liquid foundation into my rotation (usually just use MMU powder) and w/ that, decided to experiment w/ non-powder blushes. I purchased this at Ulta. I LOVE this stuff!! Creamy, blends like a dream (I use my Bdellium #955 stippling blush), very pigmented = a little goes a long way. Lasts all day w/ or w/out my Urban Decay All Nighter MU setting spray. I don't notice any glitter, just a very natural pink flush that looks great on my NC 15/Fairly Light EM skin. I would definitely re-purchase this should I ever run out!

This product is gross. And the color payoff is ok if you apply layers. But it's WAY to shimmery for my taste... I don't recommend it at all/:

I like this! Like A LOT! NYX is a really great brand and this cream blush does not disappoint!

The color is a very light, sweet pink that once applied gives off a very summery glow that I ADORE. I've been using this for a month straight and I'm fairly certain I am nowhere NEAR hitting pan on it! And when I do I will run back to Ulta and repurchase for sure!

I apply it one of two ways. I either pat my finger in the product and tap it onto my cheeks, this product is very pigmented so this tends to yield more color on me. The other method is using a stippling brush! Seems weird but it yields great results! I tap the tips of the bristles into the product and tap it on the back of my hand so I don't overdo it and gently stipple it onto my skin. Either way it looks summery, sweet, and glowy!

I LOVE the NYX cream blushes, though I only have two I like them both quite a lot! I use this one more so in the winter when I'm lighter because it is a lighter shade on my skin.

You can only get these at Ulta (as far as I know) and if you're unsure of what color will look best on you, Ulta has an awesome return policy for opened and used products :)

One of my new favorite blushes.
I bought this last month and I've used it all the time ever since. It's really pretty light pink. very easy to apply and blend.
It's so light that I don't have to be afraid looking like a clown and I can build up the color easily.
I have another NYX cream blush, shade Natural, and it's very different consistency. It's much more thicker and more hard to blend and sometimes I feel like I put too much of it and it doesn't blend as well as this shade. They feel like different brand blushes.
I like this one, because the consistency is so light and it almost turns "liquid-y" when I touch it.
I can use this either as a base for another blush if I want my blush to last all day, or then I'll just use this alone if I want a light blush.
It's going to be amazing in the summer, because it has a very light shimmer on it and it's so quick to put on, even on a bare face if I don't feel like putting foundation on, for a quick run of errands etc.
What a cute poroduct. I love it.

For some reason this item was $11 CDN regular price, which was much more than I was expecting, but whatever. Like some other people here, I purchased this based on the reviews of YouTubers. Pros: easy to apply, easy to use packaging. Cons: lack of pigmentation. I have quite fair skin and even after two applications the colour was barely there. Based just on pigmentation this product has disappointed me and I would not repurchase.

Sadly, I was very disappointed with this cream blush. I've heard that the NYX cream blushes were comparable to Mac ones, and significantaly less expensive, so I decided to try out boho chic, a nice everyday pink. First of all, the packaging is not the best quality, mine cracked in the first few days of owning it. The blush itself is hard to blend, sticky, slimy and doesn't have good staying power. I love NYX in general, but this rouge cream blush was such a disappointment. Perhaps girls with dry skin may find this blush to work for them, but I won't be repurchasing this.

NYX products are quite expensive in Europe but after watching so many girls rave about this on Youtube I decided to give it a go. Never tried cream blushes before and I must say I am impressed. Nice colour payoff, blends easily and looks very natural.

My only concern are the glitter particles - I fear that can show up a bit strong outside on a sunny day. I might try our some other (matte) shades.
