I'm switching out my powder blushes for creams since my dry skin isn't taking well to them like it used to but loves cream, which also look more natural on me. This was my first NYX cream rouge blush along with Glow (based on the great reviews of the creme blushes by NYX in general, and the only two left unmolested at Ulta where I could find them in person to look at). Sadly, I am disappointed in Boho despite a few recs on the MU board for this shade. It swatched nicely in the store, went on beautifully at home: blended well (I use a MAC 188), and I looked dewy and lovely as I headed out the door. Two hours later I looked in a mirror and it was gone. Just like that. Like I didn't apply anything at all. Not even the shimmer was left (which wasn't OTT to begin with and I liked). Granted, I did not use a primer underneath this and only had on moisturizer and foundation, but I set with BeneFit Thrrob powder (which looks like Boho in powder form to me) to make sure it stuck around. So much for that. It was so pretty too - a light pink that isn't too cool for my warm skintone nor too bright to look unnatural.



I'm not even that dark right now (@NC20) so I expected more since half the time blushes are OTT on me but the other half not so much; clearly this must be the latter camp. I will try this again with a primer to see if there is any difference before I return or exchange for a different shade at Ulta, assuming I can find one that isn't opened and icky which was difficult to begin with. (I REALLY wish NYX would seal their stuff so it doesn't get molested in stores so easily, but that's a different subject.) Overall Boho gets a three for texture, blendability, packaging and price, but minus two for the lack of staying power and low pigmentation, and a No repurchase at this time.

I love this blush, it is such a natural pink color, and makes your lips look very flushed, with a sheen. but the sheen is not like chunky glitter, so it's very nice looking.
Nyx products are even cheaper than most drugstore products, and this blush has lasted me so long and i don't even really have a dent in it .
I would recommend setting it with another blush, so it stays alot longer though..
would definitely love too try more of these blushes.

Rivals MAC creme blushes... a very good product. I liked this color over the others because it is a nice neutral pink that gives a fresh dewy glow to your cheeks. I keep this in a kit that I use when I have to wake up early in the morning because it does a very good job of waking up my face and adding a little extra moisture. I keep this kit with me in my bag most of the time (I've been having to wake up early a lot lately) and I like that it is completely safe to travel with because there is no risk of it cracking. I have owned a few MAC creme blushes and I definitely think these are just as good, the only thing is there is not as many shades to choose from, but this shade is lovely and goes with many different looks. I'm really loving this right now because it is the beginning of Spring and it seems very fitting for how I have been doing my makeup and dressing lately. I impulsively bought this without reading any reviews but I am so glad I went for it. By the way, I don't see any chunky glitter like some other reviewers say... there is barely even a shimmer. What you see in the pan is basically what you get.

I received this in a swap. I was so excited to get this, but when it arrived it was nothing like I expected. I was expecting natural looking nude pink, but it had huge chunky glitter and didn't show up on my skin at all. Pretty disappointed with this one, but I would like to try other nyx cream blushes.

Formulas good and colours nice but it has so much chunky glitter that I can't wear it for a daytime dewy look. Doesn't last too long and reapplying adds more crazy glitter. I'm definitely going to try the other colours that apparently don't have glitter though.

This is one of the newer shades of NYX's cream blush line and I hate it. It contains that cheap-looking glitters that tend to transfer all over your face and are a pain to remove. I have to REALLY pack it on to get the color to show up but even so, after just a few hours the blush will be gone, leaving only ugly glitters. The color itself is actually very pretty especially for fairer complexion. It's a pale cool-toned pink.

Gotta give this product some love-- it gives you sweet, dewy pink cheeks; think youthful and pretty. On my neutral NW/C15-20 complexion this neutral-cool pink isn't overbearing and just a touch of the product will do as it is very pigmented, albeit not as much as the matte NYX cream blushes. I don't find it disco-ball glittery or over the top for daytime, even though it has substantial shimmer. I have normal-dry skin that sucks up liquid foundation (which I what I use under this product) so the shimmer gives me just the perfect dewiness, exactly where I want it (over my cheekbones). If you have oily skin, this might not look so hot on its own. It might make you look too oily. But, I've layered NYX powder blush in Natural on top and it looks good and tones down the shimmer factor just a bit. So if I had oily skin, I'd try doing that. Overall, don't let the silvery glitter scare you away, for $6 it's a great addition to your makeup kit!

I think I misunderstood the color description in the reviews. I thought this color was going to actually be *cool* and it's really not. It's not especially warm, though possibly warmer than a true neutral, but when I got it and opened the package I was like, "Wow, orange." That's probably just my reaction based on the fact that every makeup product I own is some version of fuschia, though. When applied, this just doesn't have have much oomph to it. It's not terribly pigmented, which is unusual for the NYX cream blushes, in my experience. It's also pretty sparkly, which I could abide if I liked the color but not in something that looks this blah on me. The texture of this is super soft and smooshy. I accidentally made a huge dent in it when swatching it.

I do realize that many look good in colors like this, and for that reason I'm not giving it some ridiculously low rating --- but if you're looking for something cool-ish but a bit more natural, might want want to pass this one up, ladies.

This is a nice pale pink shade, comparable to Nars Penny Lane , but slightly cooler and a little more pink. It's my first NYX cream blush and I'm very satisfied with the quality. Nice cream-to-powder formulation and decently long-wearing. In fact, I like it so much that I'm giving it the full five lippies, although it has too much glitter for my taste.
