LOVE it! I bought it at Sephora because the girl try it on me. Lilium is perfect for my very fair skin. On my cheeks, it last all day and it just give me the right color. It's natural, classy... just perfect!!!!! I will buy other colors for sure!

I bought this in the shade lillium after hearing so many people rave about it on sephora, mua, instyle, etc. It's supposed to be the best blush ever, and I was in the market for a blush for my pale skin.
I really don't like this as a blush or a lip color. As a lip color, it is drying, it doesn't last long, and it makes me look washed out. As a blush, it also does not stay on. Even though my cheeks aren't oily, at the end of the day, it was like I didn't even put it on. Very easy to put on way too much. I tried every possible method of application, and nothing worked. Unfortunately, I missed the opportunity to return it, so now I'm stuck with a blush that really doesn't work for me. I won't be buying this again.

I really like these convertibles. I have peony and camellia and they are both great nudes, peony is lighter and camellia is a darker nude. the texture is soft and really easy to blend on your cheeks. as far as lip products they are great too. you just have to apply it with your finger or a brush, but i always wash my hands before doing it. so i dont' mind. they are a bit pricey, but i got camellia at JCrew for $9 so i couldn't pass it up.

I have purchased two CC's and I really do like them-

BUT!: They are more than twice the price as Bobbi Brown's Pot Rouge!! Insane. BB product is as good or better. Stila is overpriced for the amount of product you get.

Stila: 0.15 oz for $25 USD (seven shades)

Bobbi Brown: 0.38 oz for $22 USD!!!! (ten shades!!!)

Lillium, my absolute favorite color and cream blush. Perfect nudey, coral with a touch of baby pink. I own only 2 blushes and this is one of them. I do blot this on my lips for a pop of nude color but it may dry the lip area out a bit with overuse. This goes with me everywhere.

I got a deluxe sample in lilium from Sephora. Love it! I'd suggest not to use this as lip color since it dried my lips and it's hard to blend on my lips. If you only use it on your cheek, it is a very good blush. I always prefer cream blush since it appears more natural than powder blush. Just dap few dots and pad it into your skin, it gives you natural glow on the face. And then I'll brush mineral powder all over the face. I'll recommand this to my friends, however, I may not repurchase it. It's only because I have too many blush and I still have a lot new stuff to try.

I cannot figure out why this product has such high reviews. I found the texture to be kind of gummy/sticky and very hard to blend. The packaging, like all Stila products, is very cute and durable. The best creme blush in the drugstore is Revlon creme blush, for about ten bucks. Natural results and easy to blend. Best creme blush I have tried in the dept. store is Clinique - wonderful colors, in a beautiful silver tube, around $18 and again way easier to blend than this Stila stuff. I would recommend going to Sephora & trying this out first before you buy and regret.

This is a very good cream-blush. It's a nice colour, you see what you get! It blends in very well, stays on all day, making me look fresh even in January! I apply it with my foundation brush, and blends it in with my fingers. Perfect for an instant pick-me-up. I usually use it when i'm not wearing powder, or not wearing foundation, when the cream-formula is perfect. The packaging is not the best however, I wish it came in a tube.

I bought this in Peony. I love the packaging. It's easy to open and the mirror is so convenient. .
I gave it a 3 because it's really hard to blend. It's a cream blush so I was expecting that, but the texture is just too thick for me and I find myself having to rub really hard. I don't think they have a very good color selection either. There's only a handful of colors that I think are wearable. Also, $25 is a lot for a blush in my opinion.
If you want a cream blush that's easier to blend, I would recommend NARS. The texture is so light and blends wonderfully. Plus, they have a very large color selection.

The main reason I got this was the put under my powder blush to make it last longer. It helps a little but not enough to use again. The texture just enhances all the lines in my lips so I don't use it there. Probably wouldn't repurchase. There must be better cream blushes than this. Next up tarte gel blushes.

I love Becca cream blush but I read good reviews on this one so off to buy it. Frankly I'm disapointed, It's not as easy to blend as Becca and packaging although cute is flimsy looking.This color has a shimmer to it when applied which doesn't go well with my coloring. I'll stay with Becca .

I own too many colors to review them separately.

Pros: multi-tasking, long-lasting, natural finish, pigmented, a little goes a long way, cute packaging with a good size mirror, matching your lip & cheek color is never out of style, does not cause breakouts on my acne-prone oily skin.

Cons: It's a cream product, so be careful carrying this around in extremely hot weather. Some colors don't work well for both lips and cheeks without help from other products. Make sure lips are smooth or else it can accentuate flakiness (I only have this problem with light shades.) You need medium pressure to blend into your cheeks, so if you have concealer in that area, it will come off as you apply this product.

I'm Asian, Stila shade C and here are the colors that I have:
Orchid - deep red with burgundy undertone. Great color on my lips, just need a little dab. It's a bit of a stain so it lasts a long time. This lives in my purse and the mirror is handy when touching up. It's too strong on my cheeks. The color is just like Pomegranate Crush.

Rose - a dark red but brighter than Orchid. This came in the Day to Night palette. It's also a bit of a stain so staying power is good. I prefer Orchid because Rose shows up more cherry red and I look amateur like I'm playing with mom's make-up. On lighter skin tones, the cherry red can be flattering. If i use this on my lips, I would top with a pale pink gloss to tone down the cherry red. I can use this on my cheeks, just the tiniest amount on the tip of a concealer brush to dot on, and blend with my fingers.

Fuchsia - a bright Barbie pink that's amazingly lovely. It's cool-toned but works on light and medium skin tones. This works well on both lips & cheeks for me. Don't pile it on because the more you use, the more fake that pink will look.

Gerbera - a light soft pink. I love this on my cheeks for an everyday, fresh face look. It's too pale on my lips.

Lillium - a muted dusty pink. It's not bad my cheeks, but Gerbera looks better, so I use this for a nude lip. I got the compact with half Lillium and half Gerbera.

Peony - looks just like Lillium but a shade darker. I would use this under my cheek bones instead of on the apples of my cheeks because it's more of a contour color than a brightening color. Looks good on my lips as a nude lip color without looking washed out.

Super cute packaging is what sold me. I got peony since that one got the best reviews. Unless you have perfect blemish-free, moisturized skin, do not buy. This thing is almost impossible to blend!! It's exactly like trying to apply lipstick as blush. I just use it as lip color now and it makes for a cute compact mirror.

I returned this product. I had it in the shade gebera and i couldn't get it to show up when i tried to apply it as blush. Maybe i just had the wrong color for my skintone.. it did look nice on my lips though.

I didn't think that I'd be a grabbing for a Stila product pretty much regularly, but as soon as I got the Convertible Color in Lilium, I find myself reaching for it almost every day. The colors are pigmented, but extremely blendable. I find myself using my fingers to apply this but I tend to blend it out more than my fingers can with my MAC 188 after it's already been applied. This color looks just fantastic. I find it's drying on lips if worn, but I love the color. I simply take the extra step of applying a really good lip conditioner with it because I really like this color. I wouldn't say the product is perfect, but it's something I really enjoy reaching for when I'm doing my makeup because it's extremely easy to use.

I love these so much! They are the only cream blushes I need, hands down. They brighten up my entire face without shimmer, they blend like a dream, and they're multipurpose!!! I love how easy they travel, and that you can tell what color is inside from just looking at the packaging. Genius.

I am looking at the other reviews and no one has mentioned the smell. I am thinking of taking mine back as it has a STRONG soapy odor, maybe this is bad?

I have Stila's convertible color in Gerbera and Lillium. I was never a cream blush gal because of my oily skin. This is the first cream blush product that I can wear that actually wears well. It blends easily, leaves a believable blush of color and it lasts a good while. If I layer the product with some powder or powder blush, it lasts a little longer. I don't love having to dip my fingers into the compact every time, but I use clean fingers, so I'm hoping germs won't be a problem. I tried using this on my lips, but I didn't like the colors as lip colors and I didn't like the look and feel of the product on my lips either. $25 a pop is kind of expensive, but I can see how this will last a long while.

I love the convertible colours as I can wear it on my cheeks, lips and eyes. They're easy to blend so you can control the amount of colours and the intensity.

When i first tried this product, i loved it. It looked natural and so pretty on me. I have acne(i didnt put concealer on when i tried it) and it looked a bit weird. But since acne is clearing up, i plan i buying this product really soon.
