I recently rediscovered this blush in my make up drawer. I had forgotten all about it while pursuing a love affair with my Tarte Amazon Clay blushes. The color works really well for me. I am NC20 with light olive undertones. This is a dense product that is not as creamy as most cream blushes are. I don't use it on my lips as I find it not moisturizing enough. I use a small stippling brush and kind of dab it on and then blend out. It is a peachy brown shade that can be quite subtle if used with a light hand. Good choice for a more mature skin. I just recently figured out how to use these cream blushes more effectively. A small flat top stippling brush helps to apply cream blushes gently without messing up the foundation underneath.

This is a very pretty, brownish peach color. Ive been using this more lately but still love my peony. this goes on like a wash of color but if you like, you can intensify. This really complements my warm light skin, and looks natural like a slight flush. I use this more in colder weather because my skin tends to get dry. I would love to try the other colors out.

I have a love/hate relationship with blush. It's hard for me to find colors that I really like. I am NC44 MAC/173 MUFE HD, and I am not a fan of bright blushes. I have found that I have a preference for brown-toned/tinged cheek colors and I finally realized that the "perfect everyday" blush for me would be a brownie pink. Enter Camellia, it's so beautiful! It's also my first cream blush and it just looks so natural. I'm grateful to the MA at my Sephora who took me right to it when I told her the type of color I was looking for.

Very flattering warm, soft peach shade on my NC30/C4 light tan Asian complexion. Overall a peachy healthy shade with a very slight brown undertone, all which flatters my yellow skintone. Would recommend with anyone with yellow undertones and a slight tan. I could see why this might look "dirty" on lighter complexions, but this is a daily blush for me that is very hard to overdo. It compliments any lipshade, is very natural and soft looking, and I feel healthy and warm in it! I use my MAC 130 to stipple and blend on my apples and tap with my fingers to warm it up a bit. It dries matte and lasts at least 8 hours. Love this formula!

How I love this! It gives me such a natural peachy color. I almost love it on my lips more than my cheeks. It's very flattering, soft, not oily, and makes my fair skin with yellow undertones look healthy and radiant. I adore this cc, It's hands down my favorite. It also works nicely as a contour.

This has to be my favorite Stila convertible color. It's perfect on my NC30-ish yellow skin tone. Dont let the color in the pan scare you away! It looks really brown and orange and muddy but on my cheeks it gives me the perfect, most gorgeous bronzey peachy look with out being orange. It's absolutely gorgeous! Easy to use and blend. I prefer using fingers or a foundation brush for best application. A little goes a long way so while it seems like there's not a lot of product it will last you forever! So while it's retails for $20.00, it's totally worth it! Not to mention the packaging is just absolutely adorable! I love the packaging and the nice little mirror that comes in it.

This was definitely one of my favorites in my Stila haul. I kind of panicked when I first put it on because it was hellla pigmented and pulled a little orange. But after blending it, I was in love. It is a gorgeous, terracotta bronze and works well as a low key blush for me. I could definitely see this as a contouring blush as well. It is definitely a unique color and looks great with my olive skin, like a glow more than a color. It has the most subtle shimmer to it that I don't even see it when its on. I could definitely see how CC's are addictive. This is more than I usually spend on a blush but it is amazing!

I think this is great to use as a cream blush. I tried MAC's and NYX's cream blushes and felt that they were too creamy for my liking. This blush is denser in texture compared to the two and the blush in pot keeps it's form rather than dipping. I use Sonia Kashuk's flat brush to apply this cream shadow and it works well for application and blending. On me, (NC42) this blush comes off as a rosy brown and is great to wear on a day to day basis.

I have a fair complexion with yellow undertones and I bought this CC because it was one of the few I didn't have and I'm just OCD like that. To be honest, I didn't really expect to love it. BUT I've been using it as a contour color!! EVERYDAY! I just tap an angled blush brush ever so gently onto the color and swipe/buff into my hollows. It is so subtle and so natural, I love this more than any other contour/bronzer I've ever had. Now, I use it alone for a subtle everyday, but will put a shimmery bronzer on top if I want to go Glam.
I'm really happy with this shade, making Lillium and Camellia my favorites now. And I have Rose, Orchid, Petunia, Lillium, Gerbera, Gladiola, Fuschia and Camellia.

I had really high hopes for this CC, but it just doesn't have enough pink to liven my face up. If you're looking for a bronzer effect more than a "blush" effect, though, this would be lovely. I just never use bronzers.


Also, it might be more blush-like on different skintones, but it was too brown on my NC30 (brown hair and eyes) complexion to perk it up.


Oh well, seems like plenty of people like this colour, though, so I guess I'm in the minority. The texture is wonderful, though! I love some of the other CCs -- I don't hate this one, I just don't need it in my stash.

Blech. A drab brownish/slightly orange color. Terrible on my olive/gold medium skin. Sticking to Gerbera and my beloved BB Powder Pink.

This is my HG cream blush! Perfect for those mornings when you are in a rush because it goes on faster than powder blushes. Camelllia becomes a warm terracotta on my CCC skin. I have combo skin and love the dewy look. I have been using this on and off (I also love Nars blushes) for about 6 years and it never makes me break out. Looks pretty on my lips too - very nude but warmish. The mirrored compact is great for touch ups. I find it lasts the whole day. On humid days it can sometimes slide around a bit, but if i gently rub my cheeks it settles back into place. I think I'm going to add Poppy into my fall line up!

I think this will last me 5 years!. A little goes a long way, so though it is on the expensive side, because it lasts for so long it is worth it. I only use this on my cheeks and sometimes eye lids as it is not pigmented enough on my lips. As a blush it is perfect a light peachy/terracotta, sunkissed color. This is a great winter/spring blush for me. In the summer, I also like Dr. H. Bronze concentrate. The Stila compact with mirror is so cute and convenient. I Love this stuff!

$22 at Sephora

I have Camellia- brownish pink that gives me a sun kissed look

Petunia- pinkish peach that gives me a very healthy flush

Poppy- for when i want something brighter and more obvious, reddish hue.

I have been lemming for these convertible colors for a looong time but i couldnt bring myself to spend $22 for another cream blush-- ive been disappointed by many. But after reading all the reviews, and with my sister bugging me, i finally gave in and bought 3. im am so glad i did, this i sliving up to all the hype! Lasts all day, has not broken me out, no scent to interfere with any fragrance i have on, and from what ive read, that little compact will last a long time too! So yey, glad i finally bought stila's much talked about convertible colors!

First of all, I must say that I <3 stila CC's. I have combination skin (NC30) and they still manage to stay at the end of the day and a lot of powder blushes can't do that. I bought this at a CCO for about 11-14 dollars without even looking at the shade and was a bit disappointed when i opened the compact. It is a terracotta brown in the compact and I was a bit hesitant to put it on my cheeks because I thought that it'd be too dramatic. But this was definitely not the case because it showed up as a tanned peachy glow on my cheeks. It gives me the perfect matte nude lip if I dab it on too, but it is a bit drying on the lips. I also love how the compact somewhat matches the colour of the blush inside.

When I went to the MA I told her that I wanted a blush that wouldn't be too pink on my cheeks. I wanted something that looked natural. This tanned peach color is not "natural" on my pale skin with cool/blue coloring, but it makes my face glow. It looks like I got sun in just the right places. I have fairly oily skin and haven't had any problems.
Edit: I gave this blush to my Mom who has darker skin than mine. I saw a photo of me with Camellia on and it didn't look like my skin was glowing. My cheeks looked ruddy.

I love this - my first CC.
I only use it on my cheeks but i find that it always give me a great tanned/browny/terracotta cheek. I use it like a bronzer (i am NC30).
I find it lasts all day ... i have normal skin, so not sure if thats why.
I also love the packaging ... the cute compact and mirror ... so sweet.

I am looking forward to purchasing more CCs.

This color is awful - I don't know where on my face it's supposed to look good, because it's a rusty orange and it's not flattering at all. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

I'm on my 2nd buy on this CC. I love this for the natural and dewy look it gives me, as well as the colour makes me look a little tanned. I don't have a problem with its oiliness and doesn't break me out. I tend not to like the cream blushes that turn to powder. It will last a long time and I had to throw out my last one as I had hit the pan and had the small circumference of product left but then it started oozing liquid out and I thought that can;t be a good sign.

I use this primarily for the cheeks - the colour doesn't suit me elsewhere. The only gripe is the packaging - I wish the colour wouldn't scratch off but that's a detail. Otherwise, a HG for me.

First of all, this product lasts forever! It seems like I've been using it pretty frequently for well over a year now and it's barely made a dent in the pan. The color is a warm peach that is very natural and wearable as a blush. I am half Asian and have very yellow undertones and this shade is perfect on my face. It is not too greasy and has never caused any breakouts or irritation to my sensitive skin. It has great staying power and blends really easily. I haven't tried other colors because I love this one so much, but am eager to investigate since the formula of the Convertible Colors is so great. I don't recommend using it as a lip color as it felt a bit drying to me and didn't really last long.
