Love rosy glow!
This is my favorite blusher. It is oil free so I feel good about wearing it on my acne prone, but aging skin.
This gives a beautiful soft pink lit from within glow to the apples of my cheeks, very natural looking.
The problem with some powder blushes is that they can kind of drag and leave you streaky if not careful, but with a cream blush it really blends in and leaves a sheen that resembles that post workout or after shower glow we all love.
I highly recommend rosy glow for really any skin tone as it is a lovely pink that resembles a natural flush.

SO happy that I tried these! I went to Shoppers Drug Mart in search of a cream blush and the lady helping me recommended this one which I wasn't really sold on but bought anyways. I was planning on returning it without even trying it and...thank God I didn't! I forget the shade of the blush that I got but the woman helping me said that it was the most popular shade in the line and it is really beautiful. It is pink that has a very slightly coral tone to it so it looks very natural and like you are blushing- I don't like using blushes that do not look like potential 'blushing' shade. I apply this by dabbing it directly on my cheek with the stick and then using my fingers not to rub it in, but to press it in just to tone down the colour and smooth out the lines. One thing I could not believe about this blush was how long the colour lasted! This lasted literally all day like none of my favourite powder blushes have EVER done which you would think would be the other way around. I also loved how this blush looked really glowy but not greasy- I have huge paranoia over looking greasy and this definitely did not leave me looking that way. A complain that I have about these blushes as well as most all Clinique products is that the packaging is so deceiving! You look like you're getting a huge stick of this but when you roll it all the way up there really is not that much product. Be sure to check the packaging itself for the amount of product to make sure you are getting as much as you like- never rely on packaging!

Love these! It was between this and Jane Iredale's cream blush, but I went with Clinique's due to price and reviews. These apply smoothly and are the perfect combo of being richly pigmented while looking natural, and dewy without being greasy. (They finish neither dry nor oily.)


I also appreciate the great ingredients: pomegranate sterols, vitamin E, soy sterols, fatty acids. Just wish that Clinique would make more shades. Rosy Blush was too pink for me, but Peachy Blush was too orange.

Wow, I can't believe how many good reviews there are of this? I am a cream blush lover and have used a few in my time but this one is by FAR my least favourite! I find it very dry and too pigmented, you really have to blend and blend and even then it is too obvious. I much prefer the cheaper bloom and australis cream blushes. The best thing about it is the packaging.

I had never tried this product, but bought it purely from user reviews and an award it received from a fashion magazine being voted the Best Cream Blush. Although from retailers it's fairly expensive, I bought it almost 50% cheaper after searching online.
The colour is very true in the Peachy Glow, soft and creamy, and packaging is exquisite. I have tried cream blushers in pots but most of it ends up under my finger nails, so this in stick form is so much better. Very happy!

I really like this blush. It's creamy and easy to apply and blend. Rosy is a gorgeous colour. It just gives a really natural tint to my cheeks. Love love love.

I was leery of trying cream blushes but got this blush in the color "Rosy" in a gift-with-purchase, tried it and loved it. Since I am light olive skinned, I wanted to try "Peachy" so purchased the full size and love this as well! Don't let the color in the tube scare you. They appear a bit garish, but apply much lighter and look really flattering on the skin. I could use either color, but Peachy is a bit warmer. I swipe my ring finger across the top of the stick and apply to the apples of my cheeks and then blend...sometimes sweep a bit more along my cheekbone. The color blends out to a nice sheer shade and stays on all day long. I've tried it both under and over powder mineral makeup, and either way works well since they are very creamy and not at all slimy or greasy. The look is a natural, pretty flush. I haven't used my beloved Jane Iredale powder blush since the day I purchased this cream blush!

This cream blush is easy to blend, long lasting, natural looking, and provides sheer buildable color. The tube applicator is convenient for travel and touch ups. I have this in two warm toned colors-Rosy and Glow. I love Glow for the summer, as it is a subtle, nude toned, golden bronze with a slight amount of gold shimmer.

I reluctantly repurchased this after I had a sample of it that was running out. Its easy to blend, the colour Shy looks very natural on me and it gives a nice glow. Its very expensive and you don't get a lot of product but it is a nice blush.

I got this free in a gift with purchase, it's lasted ages and I'm now addicted and about to repurchase (I've deducted 1 point for price).

It lasts on the skin all day, looks natural and following advice of wedding make up I use as this creme blush base and then cover with blush powder for super long 24 hr lasting finish!

I'm only dissapointed not to have stocked up when it was a gift with purchase as it's a little expensive for what it is (but worth it).

This is my current favorite cream blush. After my previous favorite (Fresh's cream blush in "Bewitching Hour") was discontinued, I had a hard time finding another one I liked. I received a sample as a gift with purchase, and would purchase the full-sized version without hesitation. Clinique's formula looks quite natural and is easy to work with. It can be applied with the fingers or, a sales associate told me, can be applied with a blush brush. Both methods of application work wonderfully, and the effect looks more natural, like it comes from within your skin, than powder blushes do. No problems with breakouts, either. The color I received was "rosy" and is the one I'd choose again. I'd give it a 4.5 rating.
Of course, I still prefer the product from Fresh, which was five star worthy, but this is a pretty close second.

I was really reluctant to start using this cream blush because i am quite sceptical about them. However, i got a sample of this and after months of deciding whether i should just bin it, i gave it an opportunity and decided to use it.

Nevertheless, the blush does last ages...my skin is quite dry but this blush makes my cheeks look dewy and soft.

Probably will not repurchase because i find powder blushes easier to use. Also with cream blushes you cant really use them with powder foundation which is what i use mostly.

I got this in shade Rosy in a GWP. I have never bought a cream blush ever! because I have very oily skin and just afraid to put anything on that may be sticky. This is surprisingly really good, does not break me out or and is not sticky after application. I have a medium skintone (NW35), and the color is definitely buildable, it gives the right amount of pink/mauvy color: the cream formula gives the cheeks the look of glowing skin even though this blush does not have shimmer. The result this blush is not flashy, is very moist- looking and have a believeable see through color. What I like the most about this blush is that its not streaky, its very blendable. I usually use powder blushes with shimmer in them but I think as I'm start to using cream blushes when my skin is drier than usual. Im giving it a 4 because Clinique lacks color choices. Avon has a better selection of cream blushes, I may try them. EDIT: I have oily skin so at the end of the day, this blush didnt last on me. I will keep the rating at a 4 because people with normal to dry skin can would love this formula because it is moisturizing and non=drying blush. Do have to admit that it didnt break me out which is still a plus in my book!

I got this in Rosy Blush in a gift with purchase. Beautiful color on my light/med. Asian skin, but I bet it would look good on just about anyone. So smooth and creamy - easy to apply. This is my HG cream blush and I have tried all the Stila convertibles. I'm into the cream blushes now since I'm older. Have tried expensive (Bobbie Brown, Lancome) and cheap (Jane, Maybelline) and this really beats them all! I think it is probably reasonably priced because the one stick will last a long time. I will definitely purchase when my sample size runs out. Update: I bought two more colors - the "Glow" (a light rosy beige color with some shimmer) and "Peachy" (a pinky peach) and I love them both. Although I am not a fan of sparkles on my cheeks, the shimmer in this blush is subtle enough. Also, I notice that older reviews seem to have this blush in a pot. The newer packaging is a pretty silver stick that swivels up like a lipstick.

Claims: "Convenient touch-on, stay-on, cream-to-powder cheek colour. Glides over the skin with fingertip control. Blends easily. Blush stays see-through while it builds in colour. Transfer- and water-resistant. Colour-true."

I got this in 03 Rosy Blush (a "yellow pink rose") as part of the recent Clinique.com GWP. I usually don't wear blush but thought I'd give this one a try since I've recently fallen in love w/Stila CC.

PROS: Nice, buildable color. Is indeed fairly see-through. Nice texture.

CONS: Not really cream to powder--stays more like a cheek stain/gel? (Which is ok w/me, b/c it looks lovely on lips!)

If I ever decide I'm going to start purchasing blush, this and Stila's CCs are at the top of my list.

I got this in "rosy blush" in a GWP and it was supposed to be the pink option. I'm a neutral/warm PPP, but this is a great warm-toned neutral on me. Not pink at all - it's really much more of a peach. I like the consistency - it's very easy to blend and it lasts all day long (over my EL double wear). Looks very natural. I wear it with some copper lip gloss and it's a great naturally pretty look. I might buy it when I've used it up, but $18.50 is a lot for a blush and the GWP is going to last me a very long time.

I have this in "Peachy" which is a gorgeous peach shade with just a hint of pink and shimmer. I also have this in "Rosy", which is a lovely matte pink shade. These blushes are SO easy to blend, yet aren't sticky or thick. These have great pigmentation, but are sheer enough to be easy to apply. I have had difficulty with creme blushes in the past, because I am super fair (sometimes they look clownish), but these are a great alternative to powder blushes. Also, Clinique has very reasonable prices, and always offer a lot of product, so one tube will last a year!

I have this blush in "Peachy Blush". I must say I have been very impressed with this cream blush. It did not go into my pores and it lasted all day. It has buildable coverage so use a little at a time till you get the right amount of color for you and your mood. It looks very fresh with a slight halo glow. This product didn't make my skin break out and I have sensitive skin. This is a perfect peachy color for me. I have light brown hair with light to medium skin tone and hazel eyes.

My first cream blush was Bobbi Brown's "Pot Rouge". I have BB's "Powder Pink" and "Pale Pink". While I am very happy with Bobbi Brown's Pot Rouge, I wanted to find another cream blush that would be less expensive. With Clinique's Blushwear Cream Blush I have found a good product with a good price. Will definately be getting more colors from Clinique.
