I have repurchased this about 4 times in the last few years. I noticed it is more satiny than shimmery. It gives you a natural blush just like its called! You can use the light shade as a highlight or all of the colors for a pretty shade on your cheeks. Very resonably priced and much loved product!

I am a blue eyed NW10 (NW20 when tanning from a bottle).

This is a great way to add a very subtle glow. Never overwhelming, perfect for day wear. Love and use this product almost every day.
UPDATE: HG status : ) My go-to day wear highlighter

I have only thought of Bonne Bell as a lip balm company and I like their lip balms very much. Have been using them since I was a little girl.

I have recently been using a few of their cosmetics and I must say overall I am really impressed.

This 'Blush' is more like a 3-1 product for me. It Bronzes, Blushes and Highlights my face. It would have to be the best product I have ever used, the shade suits my fair skin perfectly.

No sparkles, tiny amount of shimmer, leaves a healthy natural glow and contours all areas of my face, even my husband took a double take at my face and smiled, told me I looked wonderful :oD

This quad contains two bronzers, blush and a highlighter. You can use each separately for contouring or you can just give a sweep over the entire pan for a healthy glow.

I really love this product. The best part, I only paid a dollar for it!!

I have loved this and used it since I discovered it about 3 years ago. They recently changed the packaging and the shades but if you can find the original (as pictured at the top of this review with the words Blend 'n Glow, try to buy them up. The new formula has a different font and is called blend'nglow.

Even the changed one is better than anything else for a subtle bronzer that slims and shades the face, so this review is for both of them.

It is called a "Natural blush face powder" but you would not use it all over the face - only where you want to shade the face. It does not give a dark summer bronze look. There is a darker shade but this is the one to use for the natural look. I have tried other bronzers to use for shading and sculpting, and they were all too dark, too glittery and fake looking. This is not!

I use a regular blush brush and put the 3 rose/bronze shades on my cheek bones and the sides of the face and under the chin, and it sculpts the face, not in a fake way but a very subtle way. It makes a huge difference and takes ten pounds off your looks. I never go out without using it as the finishing touch. I still use regular blush on the cheekbones first.

The 3 rose/bronze shades can be used together or you can pick the shade you feel like for that day. The iridescent white one is a nice highlighter for above the brows, and the cheekbones, though I don't always use it.

The product is so important to me that if I had to pack only a tiny makeup bag of essentials, this would be one of them. If I had to choose between this and blush, I would choose this. I will continue to buy it in the new formulation. The shades are slightly more brown, less rosy. It still works effectively to shape the cheeks and jawline. Highly recommended.

I brought this product at my local Toys R Us ( I have a 6 year old son!) and this came with I believe a eyeliner. And let me tell you... BEST EVER! I use it as a highlight all the time!! I am in love with his product. It's perfect for season wear. I don't go overboard with it and put it all over my body, just a little pop of shimmer on my brow bones and it works amazing! I was so sad the day it broke.. I had to go back and get more the same day.. it's totally one of my must haves.

No problem with this product -- it does exactly what it claims, which is add color and shimmer (lots and lots and LOTS of shimmer) to the face. I bought it to serve as a contouring product, but it does not work well for that, because it is too shimmery. However, I did not feel that my money was wasted. This product will make an excellent blush, highlighter, eyeshadow, or even lip shimmer on top of a lipstick or lip gloss, and will probably last until the heat-death of the universe at the rate I use cosmetics. I look forward to wearing it this holiday season to brighten up my face.

I wish you ladies knew just how much of a product junkie I really am. Lol! Anyway, like I said, I always jump from product to product, always looking for something better out there, but this product I have bought at least 5x in a row now! Blends beautifully into my lighter-than-NC15 skin, and never makes me look glittery, just leaves a nice soft sheen to my face. LOVE! well worth the 3 and some-odd-dollars I paid for this at my local Wal-Mart. Try it out, ladies!

I noticed no color or any change to my skin when I used this.
My skin didn't look any brighter, no hints of color, nothing.

I threw it away after using it maybe three times.

HECK YEAH!
3 or so bucks at walmart... have been through 2 so far. this would be my stranded-on-a-desert-island-must-have item. doubles as blush & bronzer, and i love using the individual color quads as eye shadows and highlighters. i'd imagine this is flattering to just about every skin tone. this product makes getting ready in the morning very speedy -- i hope they never discontinue this!

What a find! This is a fabulous multi-purpose makeup. Livens up my face making me look fresh and well rested. Natural Blush is perfect on my neutral with cool undertones skin. It is less "pink" in person than it appears in the picture here. Eyeshadow, blush, highlighter, luminizer, bronzer, etc. Luminizes without making my skin appear shiny. Blends great and easily buildable. Solid packaging. Dirt cheap. Where have I been that I just discovered this today? Will repurchase.

This an excellent blush. Very subtle. it blends very easily and gives a very nice glow. No need to re-apply. For 6$, it a great find! I can't believe there are such good products for such low prices...
I will use it over and over.
I highly recommand it.

I actually don't use this as a bronzer or a blush. I pretty much opened it, broke the powder cakes, and put it into a little container.
Amazing pigments.

I love this! I love that you can use it as a blush, a highlighter, or the individual colours as eye shadows. It's so shimmery and the packaging is nice and easy to use. I have purchased more than one of these, and the only problem I have with it is once you get close to finishing it, it starts to crack and break and you have to buy a new one. But; considering the price, and the amount of use you get out of it, it's worth it.

This is also one of my staples!! I use this every day as a highlighter. I use a MAC angled brush to apply this to my cheeks bones, down the center of my nose and across my forehead. It provides a nice glow and makes me look well rested.

I do have to be careful not to use too much, as it has a lot of shimmer.

This blush is the absolute best. I use it over cream blush to help it last longer, and I'm always pleased with the results. It shimmers nicely, and highlights cheekbones well. I'm madly in love with this blush!

Like I mentioned in my previous review which was a Wet n Wild product, I was not expecting much from this product. I have to say that this product is AMAZING, probably one of the best products Bonnebell has. This blush just brightens up my skin and makes it look glowy and beautiful. I also used some of the colors on my eyes and got tons of compliments so I would totally buy this product again!

i bought this at walmart yesterday.. And i love it <3 Its really cheep!! it was like $3 and change.. I bought this before and i didn't like it. But i think that was because at that time my skin was really breaking out. Also since the last time i bought it.. they changed there packaging. Now it has the name on the back of the compact.. and it is MUCH EASIER TO OPEN!!! But yah so i bought it again. Just to try it again. and OMG I LOVE IT!!!!!! its not really a blush more as a hilight but on me since iam light it is sorta a blush.. and all over glow.. Sometimes i like to use my Wet n Wild mega glow illuminating powder in catwalk pink and then use this on top of it.. And i know what your thinking. This girl is crazy.. But the catwalk oink is not too pigmented and has less shimmer. so i put that on and it kinda brightens up my face then ill either go with the just the white from the blend n glow.. or ill just use all the colors and its really pretty together. and when you take pictures... OMG ITS BEAUTIFUL!!!!! it gives you that nice glow that is perfect for pictures :) and next week iam going to pick up the other color sunkissed and try that one out too.. Hope this review helped you.

I bought one of these and used it but I didn't want to effect the rating by saying I would not purchase again. I think the package, format and colors are very good. I have a neutral almost-medium complexion and this isn't really a "blush" blush for me but I do like the color. I also like it when I sweep across the palette with an angle brush so the white part contacts the top of the brush. I then sweep that on an angle and I get darker tone on bottom close to my jaw and highlight on the top of my cheekbone, so this works well as a multi-use product. The color would need to be darker for me to classify as a bronzer. Also one thing I noticed is if a makeup sponge or powder puff is used on it, it buffs over the surface of the pan contents to a satin sheen. I think a dense brush works best in this formula, not a sponge or skunk brush and avoid using it to "dab" with a finger. It will buff out the top of the surface and give less color payoff. This has saved me a lot of $ on MAC MSFs and I'm thrilled about that!

Absolutely adore this product. I am super fair and it works as a blush for me. I also don't mind the slight sparkles. The cheap price tag is a bonus!
