I bought this on ebay because I heard it was a dupe for Nars Deep Throat and because it was discontinued so I couldn't find it in stores. I like this blush, but I feel like I have to apply quite a bit to get enough pigmentation. I think I like my mark blushes a little better.

I think this was discontinued cuz I cant find it anymore. The new rimmel blushes do not have apricot but they have a color called "peach" which is close.

I originally bought this because it was said to be a dupe for NARS deep throat. I do not have NARS deepthroat but this color itself it very nice! Im an NC25-30 & I lovee it. I used most of it up before I dropped & broke it. Never could find it again :(

Before I say anything about this product, can I just tell y'all that I used this blush up completely! I had the one with the old packaging, which was poorly designed, but I know since then they have improved the packaging. I'm NC30 and this color looks gorgeous on my skintone. It's a sophiscated golden peach apricot color. Some noted that this blush is glittery, but to me this blush is shimmery not glittery. The blush has good color payoff & it lasts all day for the most part. If I have a very long day, I do touch up once during the evening time to freshen it up. Only con I found, well other than the old packaging, is that this is not very finely milled so as I was using it, it got all bumpy & chunky if you know what I mean. The bottome line is, this is an awesome product. If you are similar to my coloring & looking for a budget friendly everyday blush that gives you a nice healthy glow/flushed look, I'd totally recommend this blush. ++ I'm acne prone & this didn't irritate my skin.

I bought this based on MUA reviews and I had to order it online because this color is not carried by Rimmel in the Netherlands. It's a pinky peach color (more peach than pink) with a very subtle shimmer to it. I have fair to medium skin with neutral/yellow undertones and this color looks so lovely on me! It gives my cheekbones a healthy youthful glow. I also love that the shimmer is so subtle. It gives just a glow, nothing more.
For comparison: I have one other pinky/peachy color with shimmer which is the well-known Milani Luminous. Compared to Luminous the Rimmel Apricot is more peachy and less shimmery.
The packaging is kind of odd (I think I still have the old packaging), but it doesn't bother me. I actually like it because it's so thin that it's very travel friendly!
The staying power is great, it lasts all day on me. The price is also amazing. I paid 5 euros incl. shipping.
I'm so glad I found out about this blush on MUA and ordering was worth it. I love it and I would buy it again.
Edit: I didn't expect this, but it has become the blush I reach for most of the time. HG. (:

LOVE this product. Great color that is complimentary to almost every skintone. Love that it is not as pearly as Too Faced's Papa Don't Peach (which I love with the exception of the excessive shimmer).

The package could be a bit better, but for the price, quality and color, this is a bargain and I can live with cheap packaging.

The best drugstore blush I have ever had! A cheap dupe of NARS Torrid. :)

Pros:
Beautiful subtle shimmer
Nice pink peachy color
Very buildable,
yet can reach a perfect sheerness
Matches olive-yellow undertone
Dirt cheap!

Cons:
The glitters. I personally don't look for glittery blush. Sometimes i swipe my cheek with fan brush to get rid of them.
Packaging, although it is cute but i find it too fragile

Never tried NARS deep throat that's said to be similar. But if it is so similar,i personally much prefer Rimmel since i think the glitter is weirdly chunky.

This doesn't break me out but I don't think I will repurchase because I'm not a fan of shimmers.

HG blush for sure!!! Amazing!!! I am NC20/NC25 for ref and read that it looked natural on someone who was NW30, so I was a little nervous, but I am glad I purchased anyways. This is an amazing natural looking blush that lasts for nearly 8-10 hours without reapply. I LOVE this!!!!

My cousin suggested I try Rimmel products due to the lower prices and staying power. I was skeptical but she raved about Rimmel so I decided to try the Apricot blush. I have to say I am very happy with the color, the way it blends and it's staying power. I sometimes wear this to work and find I don't have to constantly reapply it the way I have to with other blushes. I would certainly buy this product again :)

I actually like the minimal packaging of Rimmel's blushes. This color is awesome. I'm super super warm (yellowy NC30/EM golden medium) and it gives me a really natural flush and glow. The pigmentation is great too - buildable but hard to overdo.

Love - this blush!! This gives my face a nice hint of color, with-out looking too blush like. I always seem to reach for this one, as it looks so natural-- just lovely!!!

I really love this color and the product itself. This blush is not matte at all , as chococat05 said, it has sort of a satin finish, nothing too shiny at all.I does NOT look as dirt if you apply the right amount in the right way (as with ANY blush OR bronzer) and I say this because I saw someone saying it looks dirty. The only big problem I have with this product is it's annoying cap (that's why I gave 4 lippies), it falls very easily, so you have to be very careful when carrying on your purse or makeup bag. Overall,I think it's a great product that I would recommend.

I only bought this because it was marked down to 80 cents or something and I'm glad it worked out because I really like it! It gives me cheeks a warm glow. The only thing I don't like about it is the packaging. The top falls off in my makeup case all the time. I'm always scared it'll get open, break, and crumble because of it moving around with other products.

Looks good on my yellowish Asian skin when applied lightly. It's slightly sparkly, but not overly so. Have experienced no skin reactions.

This looks like a great color in the pan, but on my PPP skin it looks like reddish dirt. It reminds me of the color blush everyone used in the 80's, you know; the line up the side of your face blush. I applied with a skunk brush and it was still too dark. I guess if you had darker skin it would be good though, and I like that it's matte.

This blush looks so pretty on me; I'm very pale and find some blushes heavily pigmented for my skin. This blush gives me a lovely glow that doesn't look fake, clownish or like I just came back from a killer workout and my whole face is red. I have a lot of problems with blushes looking like the latter on me. This blush really looks nice with a bronzey smokey eye and nude lips, or minimal, peachy eyeshadow and lip gloss. I own and love practically every shade from this line, and am super excited that they revamped the packaging (flip top is so much better at 5 in the morning getting ready). I also like the price (cheap, yay!) and the size (tiny, fits in a clutch). It's not super shimmery, but it also doesn't make me look like I put mud all over my face. This whole line is my HG, and I will repurchase until they discontinue the line.

Great color. Love how its matte, only problem is that it won't show up for me. Good packaging and the price is only like $3. I wouldn't buy this again though. The only reason I think I've kept these blushes is because of the packaging.

I don't like the packaging, but rimmel revamped it and now it has a hinge close! Yay!

This color is a gorgeous peachy color, its very sheer, yet buildable. I find the powder is sort of hard and I really have to press my brush to get the color. I use a MAC 129 which fits perfectly and I pat it on my cheeks.
