I got a generous sample of this with my last order. From the baggy it didn't look like it'd show up on my skin, even though I am PPP. When I tried it on, I was pleasantly surprised! What a natural flush it gives. It's not chalky at all and is really easy to blend. I'm going to add this to my cart in my next order.

I would say this is HG quality blush especially for those with fair skin. This blush simply is beautiful. It doesn't make me break out. In addition, it also perfected my skin to make it look even better. The color is a healthy natural glowing kind of blush. It's not an obvious vegas style blush. It is great for those who wanted a flush on the skin without looking like they are wearing blushes. It just makes me look healthy. here is what I do not like about this company. Most of the products by alima are of no use for me. Their shipping fee is pretty steep , nearly $6.00 just to ship a tiny jar. so I often skipped this product for other mineral companies that make blushes just as pretty for only a fraction of the shipping fee. my skin isn't too awful so finding a HG blush hasn't been too hard. Finding a foundation is another story. still this is a pretty nice blush

HG blush. I have cool toned skin (MAC nw 20-25, alima pure C2 to C3) and this color is perfect for that gorgeous yet completely natural healthy pink cheek look. Amazing color.
The nice thing about Alima Pure blushes is the texture, and the fact that the matte will actually help hide acne as opposed to shimmery ones that help point it out. It is a smooth, creamy formula that glides on, looks gorgeous, and lasts all day.

Great shade. You could use a bit more for a warmer look, or a bit less for a more natural look. I never want to be too dramatic with blush, so this is perfect for me. But I believe many other shades by Alima could be just as gorgeous. I look forward to trying more shades.

Love this blush, both the cool toned pink color and satin matte finish; it is appropriate for any occasion. Perfect for my complexion and a nice change from the shimmer blushes I normally wear. I ordered a sample from Alima with my last purchase and liked it so much I went back and got the full size product. Will definitely repurchase.

This is one of my favorite Alima blushes. It gives my pale freckled skin a perfect natural pink blushing shade. I add it around my cheeks, eyes, nose, and chin. Very nice, no shimmer (very light color) The pigment is very even and goes on smoothly without any clearly marked area where it has been applied (blends exceptionally well) Blush was not a staple in my makeup regime until I found Alima; now my face just doesn't look alive with out it!

My second favorite pinkish blush from Alima. This is a bit brighter than the normal Alima one I wear (Tulip) but a great color if I want something a bit more dramatic.

I really love matte blushes. I was lucky enough to get a full size jar of Apple Blossom in a swap. It's a lovely neutral and subtle dusty matte pink shade. At first I was a bit hesistant because it looks overly chalky in the jar itself but it applies in a very natural. Easy to build without feeling heavy and it blends in with my skin tone very well. I think it's probably more suited for fair tone complexions more because it might end up a bit ashy on those that aren't really pale however this blush creates a very doll like look without being over the top nor shimmery. Very conservative and sweet at the same time.

I actually really like this blush. I have very pale skin, and a lot of blushes just look very overdone even when used with a light hand. this doesn't necessarily look like I have blush on, but it gives me a nice "no makeup, makeup" colour on my cheeks. I can see how this wouldn't work on pretty much anyone who isn't pale as a ghost though.

I got this as a free sample and I really like it. I am really pale, and blushes tend to make me look like a china doll, but this looks natural and sweet.

This is a nice pink, but it didn't show up on my PPP skin well enough. If you had *very* pale skin, it would probably give a nice glow, but my skin's natural blush is already this color! I ended up mixing it with the Dianthus shimmer blush, and it works better for me. I probably won't buy it again, though.

I am a C-0 (Lily) in Alima foundation and this blush is perfect for me. One of the problems with being super duper pale is blush tends to look very harsh on. Not so with this product. It is also a pure pink; no brown in it. When you have pink undertones, brown usually means ICK on the skin. Bobbi Brown, for example, turns brown on me due to the yellow undertones in her blush. This product is true to shade; very soft, light, pure pink. A little goes a long way. One full size jar is going on over a year w/PLENTY left.

I can use N-0 or W-0 for Alima foundation (though a mix of both would be better). In the container, Apple Blossom looks a little beigey-brown-pink, very light and faint colour. But on the cheeks, it looks really natural human skin pink (not brown or orange). It shows up well enough on fairer skin tones, and is a great neutral. This is the only blush colour I've bought in full size from Alima so far. I can use a lot or a little of it, and it won't look like obvious blusher. A keeper for me!

I quite like Apple Blossom even though I wasn't expecting it to show up on my fair-to-medium NW30-ish skin. It's a very pale neutral pink. It's the most natural blush I have in terms of no shimmer and the actual colour (I love blushes and usually the brighter the better). I expect this to become my blush for my "is she or isn't she wearing makeup" days. I don't know if this would show up if I had a tan, but it's great for winter.

got this sample apple blossom after reading all the raves about it. i'm a tad bit dissapointed as the color dont show up on my face as well. Its a very pale pink so when applied on my skin,can hardly tell that i'm wearing blush. Well it would be great for those au-natural now-you-see-it and now-you-don't day-look... but my personal preference for something that gives me that flush. I have melon & azelea as well, they show up perfectly well on my face.

Alima's website describes Apple Blossom as a "soft pale pink". I have not historically been terribly interested in matte blushes but between my Stila Oolong Jasmine duo and Alima's blushes I am finally getting excited about them! I guess I always thought that matte blushes would look chalky but this blush goes on silky-smooth. On my PPP skin, Apple Blossom shows up as a neutral soft pink. Unlike a lot of pale pinks, this shade is not bright. I love bright pale pinks but I have quite a few so Apple Blossom is a welcome change. This blush is probably only going to appeal to PPPs but if you are fair this is a great "nude" blush.
