So glad I found this at a close-out store for about $2.00. It is so chunky and doesn't apply evenly. It has a weird gelly-like consistency that is very difficult to blend in properly.

Would not recommend.

Clumps.

Good color that layers well if you can get it not to clump up.

blood clot much? i dont use this on my cheeks but rather as a lip stain.. it sorta stings but gives a true natural flush to my pigmented lips. better than any lip stain ive tried.. revlon or maybelline.

I bought this product as sort of an experiment. Kind of a "I WANT to try this, but I don't want to waste my money" thing. It's very sheer, not overpowering like I thought it might be. Overall, I was pretty impressed. It wasn't sticky or gooey or anything. It smells pretty bad when applying, but the smell doesn't last.

Everyone check their 99 cent stores! Just picked up two from there! So anyway, since they were only a dollar and I'm not much of a big stain person, whether it be lips or cheeks, but figured for such a cheap price it was worth a try. I bought cheeky cherry and peach afterglow. I definitely appreciate the pump, and the colors are nice, I think that the consistency is a bit strange. They come out like jelly and then you rub it into your skin, and it was kind of...chunky? Idk. I won't be purchasing these again but it was a nice little experiment.

I quite like Pinch Me gel blush. I got it, as well as many other products, from the limited edition range it was in, because it looked so new and innovative. There were probably a gazillion gel blushes around at the time, but because I'd been living under a cosmetics rock, I didn't know!
I love all the colours that came out, I have all of them, but my favourite would be Cheeky Cherry. It's such a nice sheer, natural looking flush colour, and it lasts pretty well throughout the day. Though, it stains my fingers more than my cheeks, which I find annoying even after a scrub! I also like the pump application, it seems fairly different to other blush packaging out there, but it does have its downsides.
If the gel is a little clumpy, it doesn't come out of the pump cleanly or easily, and if the pump is pushed a few more times in frustration to get product out, then a ton comes out. Also, when you've almost finished the product, the pump is useless as its not strong enough to pump the last of the blush out, which I think is kind of wasteful. I've actually gone to the trouble of taking the silver pump part off, and trying to scrape the remaining blush out when I need it!
I would buy it again, but only off eBay for cheaper (I think that's the only place you can get it now!) than the RRP.


Pros: Nice colour, natural looking, fairly long lasting, good price (what I paid anyway!)
Cons: The pump when you get to the bottom - can't get remaining product out easily, texture inconsistent (sometimes runny, sometimes clumpy), stains fingers more than cheeks.

this product is all right. I've started using it again lately after years of it sitting in my box of makeup I never use. fortunately, it comes in a pump which is much more hygienic than other forms of packaging I've seen. this blush gives nice color, but just make sure not to use too much, and blend quickly and thoroughly! or else it'll dry on your face without having been properly blended in and it'll look splotchy. I need to start using it more often because I forgot what a nice glow/color it gives me. however, I wouldn't buy it again just because I prefer powder blush.

I love this product, I bought it on a whim for 1.99 and I am so glad. I bought the peach afterglow and cherry. I love cream blushes and had tried the Benefit one, I really liked it , but refused to buy it because of the jacked price. This is just like it, and the dispenser, its looks pretty familiar, if you know what I mean. You just pump and a thin noodle of color comes out. Not messy. It goes on smooth and blends flawlessly and feels like I have nothing on and it lasts. The colors are very natural, just like my natural blush when I blush;) I had never seen it before at a drugstore. Someone mentioned it was a limited edition.

I got this (like all of the other Revlon Limited Edition products I own) at a discount store for $2 each in Plum Flushed, Playful Pink, and Peach Afterglow. You have to be careful with the pump, if you don't press VERY gently it will just shoot a string of jello-like gel blush somewhere you probably don't want it. I don't like the consistency of the product too much, like I said above, it reminds me of jello. It's also sort of sticky which is off-putting. Out of all three colors Plum is my favorite, but it's the only one I've actually tried on my face. It gives a very natural looking blush but it's a bit tricky to blend, it's best to only use the tiniest bit at a time and then add more if you want more color. I wouldn't buy these at full price (I'm not crazy about blush to begin with) but for $2 these were alright.

I just purchased this product in Pink, Cherry and Plum from the dollar store. And, I have to admit that it really works well on my skin. Yes, the delivery system is wack and shoots out a boat load of product, but, the product is pigmented and shows up on my CCC skin as a delicate flush. I really like this and think that I will return to purchase some more. And, at a $1.00 a tube, you just can't beat it.

Wow, so many bad reviews! I don't think it's a phenomenal product, but it's not that bad. I have it in Cheeky Cherry. It's a nice rosy-cheek red color. The gel is a bit tricky (not difficult) to dispense since even the lightest pump shoots out quite a bit of product. Sometimes it gets pretty liquid-y, but most of the time it's the usual gel. As for blending quality, it's great! It blends super well (almost too well) but the color is very easy to build onto cheeks. You can even blend it away into nothing if you're fast enough--my tip is to blend the outside edges more than the center section on the apples of your cheeks. To me, it's easier than using some powder blushes just because it's so easy to blend. I use it before putting on foundation (mineral makeup.)

I have been using Benitint for years (same bottle lasts forever) But I never liked how runny it is and cannot put it in the makeup bag safely. The Wicked Plum is the exact same color. I tested them side by side. I agree the texture looks like something bloody. But it works great. Blends well and does not drip or run. I have found it is better if you don't use a full pump. It goes a long way and you can use it on your lips and other parts of you body you would like to be a little more pink - very sexy. This make a very natural effect and layers very nicely. I put it on the apples of my bare cheeks then. after powder, I layer a powder blush with a shimmer on the cheek bone and back. It looks so natural but better. I also liked Bitten it's sister lip product in a roll on - this works on the cheeks too.

Got it on sale for five bucks!
I have it in cheeky cherry, blends well enough (rub it in!) on bare skin.

It seems to be less pigmented than Benetint (where you'd use three swipes of the wand and be good to go) but if you work it primarily into your cheekbones, it's hard to mess up.

Chinese combo skin - it gives a warm sorta glow although I can see China doll with too much (might be fun though).

And at that price - yowza!

Wow, what a load of @%*! This product is awful...looks awful, feels awful, and is just clumpy, clotty and gross. If you have very pale peaches and cream skin like mine, stay away from this type of product. The theory is great (sheer, natural looking "flushed" skin) but the execution leaves a lot to be desired, and will leave you looking like a vampire clown carnie. Trying to imitate Benetint was not a good idea (that isn't a great product either, but that's another story).

I fully agree with the previous reviewers.

This product is awful - too much comes out of the pump, it's a congealed sticky mess, it leaves barely any colour, there are streaks on your cheeks, and it's actually sticky.

i've been so happy with the other revlon products - the floral affair blush, make a sheen eye shadow, the molten medal line - but this? What a shame!

Don't waste a cent on this overpriced garbage tosser.

Oh god. WHY? How did this product make it onto the shelves of stores? Shame on you, Revlon. Awful globules of sticky, nasty, gooey orbs that look like bloody bogies . Wait. Maybe I'm being too harsh. This product would be useful if you want to make yourself look like you're fresh from a nosebleed, or if you want to fashion something on yourself that looks like a leech. Don't spend a penny on this. Don't even use it if someone offers to pay *you* to wear it.

Terrible terrible. I wanted a cheaper alternative to Tarte, and when I found this on clearance for 5 at Target, I thought, "What the hell, give it a go"

Omg, its awful. I don't care for the packaging, or the blood clot that squirts out, but those are forgivable if the product works. It doesn't! All it does it take off what foundation/moisturizer I had on before, smear pink streaks across it, and then stay. My friend asked if I scratched my face or something.

The only thing that I got it to be useful for was a lip stain, but that wore off quick and who the heck would carry this thing around to use on their lips??? No one.

Nope. all wrong. don't buy it
