Love this product- it goes on quite creamy but spreads very well and feels lovely and cool. I've had mine for ages and there is still plenty left and it hasn't deteriorated in quality over time- I find some stick blushes tend to dry out. Very pleased. 4/5 only because of the price.

Found this in Bronze on ebay and I really like it. Not too deep a tone and it has that wonderful Chanel glow without sparkle. It's a shame they discontinued these.

It feels a bit wet and cooling when apply and blends easily on cheeks. I don't feel like wearing anything after applied. 3 colors are available - Rose (iridescent pink), Coraline(Coral peach with slight shimmer) and another is a deep bronze color. This blush is quite pigmented and come with a generous amount so I wonder who would actually finish it. I prefer this than Nars The Multiple because it is creamier and more pigment and last longer too. The tube is slim and elegant and convenient for travel.

I have Waterlights Sheer Blush in Perle. I thought the creamy finish would make Perle the perfect highlighter, but the formula feels too greasy on my skin and doesn't absorb well into my skin.

I have this in Soleil(Dewey brown but orange) I like that i can blend it to look natural but it looks orange a bit more than i like it to look sunkissed tan. It doesnt have much staying power. I wont buy it again because it will last me till i find something better.

This product has a lovely texture to it, but the Rose disappears on me. I can't tell I'm wearing anything at all, so I really don't see the point. I think it also made me break out a little.

It might well be true... I'm a PPP and Rose works wonders for me. Not too sheer, not too glittery, perfect. It feels cool and light, just glides on and stays there, looking very natural on my dry cheeks. Compared to other cream blushes, it's lighter and less waxy but creamier and fairer, while retaining all those emoillent properties I expect from such a product.

This won't "behave" on mediocre foundations and oily skins. It's a cream blusher in its purest sense, intended for dry complexions and not to be compared with gel blushes that are supposed to sink in and are best used on normal to oily skin.

I adored this blusher (Rose)when I first bought it because it is a gorgeous delicate pink with a teeny bit of shimmer, it feels delightfully cool in the summer. However, this was a bad purchase for me as I have medium, yellow toned skin and so barely shows up on me, no matter how much I put on. it works better on very pale cool toned complexions who like very subtle blush. If you like the idea of this type of blush then you may like Aveda's similar product which comes in more flattering shades, a word of caution though they set really fast , so you have to blend quickly. As for the Chantecaille version, don't waste your money on this it is ridiculously expensive and isn't better than the much cheaper alternatives. In fact I found this one to be the hardest one to work with as the consistency wasn't as nice.

OKay, I've tried LOTS of stick blushes before and this takes the cake! I absolutely love the consistency and it goes on like silk. I DO use a light cream on my face before I apply it though. I found that using a light cream before application gives a very even perfect color. I do not use the brush though, I use my fingers! I have a lot more control with my fingers than I do a brush and where I apply it. Very expensive but worth the money all the way!

I received this in a swap and I am so glad I did. I am a cream/gel blush aficionado and have used these types 99.9% of the time the past 5-6 years. The color I rec'd (from the wonderful Caleigh) is Rose, which is a basic neutral toned rose with an ever so slight shimmer. It goes on smooth and is easy to blend, looks great on bare skin w/ a light layer of loose powder--I use and love Chantecaille's. The shimmer really is so subtle, it is not perceptible w/ powder on top. Very pricey, but it will last a long time.

I love this blush stick. I have it in Soleil and it is such a natural bronzey color, much more natural looking than those orangey bronzing powders. Perfect for summer.

This is such a pretty blusher! I have this in 50 Coralline, a shimmery coral-pink (Abricot in the US market?). I went by the Chanel counter intending to pick up a Glossimer but while waiting for the MA, I played around with the blushers and just HAD to buy this becos the color was so gorgeous! It's more of a peachy pink with slight shimmer rather than coral, and the color looks very natural on my medium Asian skin. It also goes on very smoothly on the skin becos of the water content. Has a nice cool feeling when you swipe on the cheeks. Gives me a great sheer glowy look and lasts relatively long throughout the day if you dust a little powder over it to set the color. Love this!

Oh but Chanel sure is overpriced in the US! I bought this for SGD40 (USD22.70) in Singapore!

I choose the wrong shade for my skin tone: Carmine. However, I still see the pretty color on my check and strongly believe that if I got lighter, pinker color it will be the best. A little goes a long way, last all day. I have Asian skin tone but it is very fair so Carmine is too dark.

I love it. I got mine in Carmine, ppl with a tanned or olive skin looks very natural in this colour. Rose is more for fair-skinned. Didnt break me out and I have sensitive skin. This blusher lasted for the whole day compare to my powder one. If u r in a rush dont use this, it needs time to blend but its worth it. When rushing for time I use Loreal Blush Delice, same effect, doesnt last as long though.

I guess I'm in the minority in not liking this product. I have it in Rose and I think it was a waste of my money. Its a shimmery pink which i can't seem to blend well enough that I either over apply or thin out too much that there is no colour left but shimmer. I soo wanted to like this but it was just blah. I need a blush with more pigment and this is not it.

Same gorgeous cream-to-powder formula as the Waterlights Foundation Stick, but with more wearable colours for all skin tones. My favourites are Rose and Bronze--perfect for MMM/GGG. Abricot and Soleil are also beautiful colours, and I imagine they will look best on MMM skin tones or lighter. Carmine is the only colour which just looked hideous: turned my cheeks a dark, ruddy colour. All sticks possess a sparkly element, but it is very fine, not chunky at all. If this doesn't appeal to you, a NARS multiple such as Maui or Sumatra will probably fit the bill.

This is amazing in Soleil for the summer. It's the perfect bronze color and feels cool going on. Only problem, it's a little hard to blend so put extra moisturizer on before applying. My skin is very dry however so not everyone will experience this I'm sure.

This blush on a stick is so so great. Cream blushes seldom work on me as they usually end up looking greasy. This one is 30% water and the application is so smooth and light you won't believe it. I have this in Rose and it gives you the most natural flush ever. Perfect for people who don't like the overly made up look, this one can go as subtle as you wish. What a find!!
