Beautiful color, easy to apply. Lasts all day, no breakouts. I can't ask for more.

Lotus is a sweet, neutral/cool-toned light mauvey pink, very flattering on my light, yellow-toned complexion (NC20ish in the winter) since it's close to my natural flush. It actually reminds me a lot of Benefit's Dandelion, but more pigmented. The whipped, mousse-like texture makes it a breeze to apply and blend. Due to the pigmentation and texture and a little less 'dry' looking, I found that I only needed a very, very tiny amount for a day look. I like the fact that it doesn't have shimmer or pearlescence or anything fancy, making it quite suitable for an everyday look.



The little jar is really cute and femme, though I wonder whether the product will dry out faster than if it were in a tube or some kind. Overall, I'm pretty happy with this blush.

It's hard to describe the texture of this blush but it feels fluffy, kinda, moussey texture. It's somehing different you shoud try. I goes on and blend beautifully over powder(/foundation) and you could just use your fingers to apply it.
The down side it that after a while using this product, the moisture from you fingers humid it up and the texture changes to be stale and hard. You'll end up throwing it away before using it up.

I’ve always wanted to own something from Stila since I found out about the brand. Its packaging is gorgeous, as always. Its the first blush I purchased at got it at about $27 from strawberrynet.com

The texture of the blush is somewhat like a very soft air whipped mousse. I apply it using my fingers since its the easiest way to spread it evenly. When I first applied it on my skin, it seemed thick and a bit too dark but after a quick blending with my fingers, the colour lightens and blends in very easily into my skin leaving a natural flush.

It goes on smoothly onto my skin without any colour streaking and the colour is fairly sheer and natural so I think Water Lily seems like a suitable shade for me as others like Sweet Pea might be too sheer on my skin.

I do feel that it is a little bit more on the oily side and it doesn’t last as long as I would like. This can maybe be improved by using a finishing powder to hold it in place but I haven’t tested it out yet since most of the time I just spread some on and go off to class!

Alright for a blusher, could be better but the sheer colour is probably good for people who are new to makeup to prevent blush overloading!

And ah, the packaging. I look at it and I feel happy already ♥

Personally I prefer powder blushes but for a cream this isn't bad. I have darkish skin but I have to be careful not to apply too much of this product or it looks over-the-top. The colour is buildable so you have to start off with just a small amount and BLEND. I only use this when I'm not wearing powder. It might work with a powder base but I prefer the look on dewier skin for a more natural and fresh look. This is a nice colour; fresh and natural.
The pot is impractical. I don't have nails so it doesn't irritate me yet but the opening is quite small and when I reach the end I can imagine that it will be quite annoying.

The color is really fresh and natural, but what i dislikes is, the pot is so small and its really hard to pick up the product, and its uneven when u pick it up. And it kinda leaves my skin patchy after several hours, like, a huge patch on my cheeks, but i think its just my mistake.

Lotus, along with Water Lily, is a great 'go with anything' blush. It's a neutral soft pink that looks really natural on my fair, neutral skin tone and gives my cheeks a lovely fresh glow.
Like the other Rouge Pots you only need the tiniest amount to get a great result, and the key is to blend, blend, blend!

Great product for me. I don't use foundation (at least, not so far) so cream and gel blushes work better for me than powder. Stila Rouge Pots have a nice texture--I got one in a swap, so I think it's probably dried out a bit from the day it was born, but still creamy, rich, and easy to work with. Not at all sticky like some gels, and buildable but easy to blend out to a subtle color.

One word of note, Lotus looks like a pale rose in the pot but is a bit more coral on my skin. I can imagine some would find it too orange, but it's a flattering color for me so I'm happy. Also, long-nailed girls will not like the pot, but I don't mind.

I've been using this product for a year now. I have fair skin and am using Jasmine...it gives the perfect amount of glow to my cheeks. I can look sickly if I don't have any blush on. This blush really does the trick and is definitely my go to product if I'm in a rush. I love the texture of the product but since I'm down to the very last bit of the jar it has dried up quite a bit and is harder to blend.

So disappointing...the little glass jars are so cute, but so annoying! I quite like the colour of this one, it's very neutral (although more orange that I'd expect from the colour in the pot). The product has got quite hard and crumbly which makes it much harder to apply that you'd hope, and I need to really work it in to stop it going patchy - too much effort!!

This is one of my favourite blushes - fantasic natural colour and so easy to blend - but I HATE the packaging; who thought of putting it in a tiny pot?! The little glass pot is good quality and very pretty and but just not practical...when you dip your finger in it often gets under your nails, yuk, very annoying!

I was excited to receive this product...the picture looked light pink, when opened the color is a gorgeous mauve, when on it turns orange, what?! I am not sure if it is my coloring (cool, PPP) but whenever I wear this I look like I have on a tawny cream blush, the color is lovely but not what I was expecting. I find that I like to wear it with coral lipsticks because it makes me look balanced, not overly pink or peach. Overall a nice product, the rouge pots are awesome, but just be prepared for a color shock. Knocked off 2 lippies because of the color, but as for the item it is a 5 all the way...

For those girls who love blush but don't want to be obvious about it. I like that Lotus is sheer and natural, for those days I feel lazy and tired, don't want to put a lick of makeup on, but need at least some color on my cheeks to fake a healthy glow. I like this pink Lotus more than Amaryllis, surprisingly, since I'm usually a peach blush girl.

This is my holy grail blush. It is easy to apply, it is sheer in consistency and it is an exquisite, cool-toned pink (to my eye, anyway!). I used this up to the last scoop, and I can't wait until I can afford to buy more!

First non powder blush tried and im hooked! the color is gorgeous, gives me a light pink winter kissed cheeks. I have the hardest time finding a blush that shows on me (especially a light pink) and this one looks great. Always look like I have a little flush without being overdone or fake looking. Applies and spreads easily (just have to make sure to spread it around otherwise i had a bright circle of color)
will definitly be trying other rouge pots

I finally tried the rouge pots again after really really really disliking Sweet Pea, and I'm glad I gave them another chance because the Sweet Pea I got was a defect. Lotus has a much better texture--easily blended, highly pigmented, stays put. I like the formula, however, this color doesn't bowl me over. Somehow that is typical for me--the bestseller colors never turn out to impress me too much. I'd buy another rouge pot, but not Lotus--turns out the most generic shade of pink on me ever. Maybe good for someone who only uses one blush, but as I have an enormously vast blush wardrobe, I need a color a little more unique.

I love the color-- a very sheer, shimmery pink-- while it's in the pot. On my skin (I'm a normally fair Asian, tanned a little because it's summer)-- the color barely shows up. I admit that this could be because I'm not used to cream blushes; it doesn't feel like there is a color or a proper amount of "spread." It comes, yes, in a small pot and I've used my fingers to dab into it, which feels slightly unsanitary and impractical if I'm at the bottom dregs. (Perhaps there are earlier reviews on how fellow Stila Rouge Pot users apply theirs or get to the last bits?) The portability, however, is great; it's about 1.25" high with a similar diameter, so it doesn't take up lots of room in the makeup bag.

Lotus is a subtle pink blush with no shimmer. It's easy to apply and I love the great creamy texture. It's my first Rouge Pot and I think I will definitely tru some other shades as well! I love blush and especially cream blushes that work.
I am impressed with the staying power but the cute packaging is too tiny considering the juicy price!

I really liked this product at first. The light mousse texture allowed me to blend the product evenly on my cheeks. However after a few months, the product dried out badly! and now I have to prep my cheeks with generous amount of moisturizer before I can apply it, otherwise my cheeks look streaky. Not to mention the flakes it forms as I apply it on my face! I wish the product didnt dry out like this! I used to love it at first :(

This is really sweet colour on me... very light and can't go wrong. I won't have to be afraid to look like a clown as long as one don't applied too much. It such a small pot and it's quite expensive for such small quantity and quality...will not repurchase though.
