A great mousse blush. Very wearable pink shade, easy to apply and blend. There is the slightest bit of shimmer, otherwise I would give this 5 stars.

The colour goes really well with my skin, and adds a nice warmth. I got it on sale, so I figured why not? and I was pleasantly surprised. It's buildable and not too sparkly, but it doesn't last that long.

I have the one in Rose Petal and i like it alot. I bought this in soft plum because I wanted another color that was slightly more plummy. I love this!! I like the consistentcy and the color goes well with my olive/tan complexion- its a BUILDABLE color so if you want to use it for day/work, then you only use a little.. for night/special occasions you can add more to bring out more of the color w/o looking like a clown. I don't mind the shimmer it has (most of my MAC colors have similar shimmer in their blushes anyways). I started using the cream blushes just recently because as I get older (I'm 35), my skin is drier and my powder blushes doesn't seem to stay on as long as they did before. So far I am happy with it and it didn't break my wallet, so for the price of 1 MAC blush, I can go and get 2 of these w/ change left over! LOL

Let me start off by saying, I'm not an avid user of cream blushes as I'm combination/oily skin. Since it's winter, I'm less oily on the cheeks, so it's safe for me to use it without looking like I just went bobbing for apples in a bucket of oil. Soft Plum is a nice pink/plum shade. I took a lippie away because of the shimmer. It's not too chunky, but I think this shade (and all the other Mousse Blushes) would have looked better without the shimmer. I'm all for matte blushes; that's just my personal preference. This cream blush blends well both with clean fingers and/or a blush brush. The color is build-able. Staying power is OK. I do notice it lasts a bit longer when a translucent powder is applied over. If reapplication is needed, it's usually once throughout the day, which I don't mind. Overall, I would definitely purchase this shade again.

First of all, let me start our by saying that my friend had made me try this on in the store, so I haven't worn it for a whole day, but if I did, it would have been AWFUL!!!!
I put this on my cheeks and found out that there was barely any colour there. I had to apply quite a bit on. Not only that but once put it on, it was incredibly hard to blend and turned out chalky and stiff looking, and was unbelievably sparkly with tons of glitter.
I wore this for no more than 4-5 hours and it broke me out. When I took it off I had lots of tiny pimples all over my cheeks.
Not even worth this buy at ALL. The only thing that was nice about this product was the packaging, which was sleek and small, and absolutely adorable.

I love this blush in this specific color. I love how soft and natural it looks (though you do have to build it up a bit) and it is so easy to control, especially if you use your fingers. My one and only concern is the amount of shimmer in it. I wish it was matte. Other than that, this blush is great and it will last you a long time because a little goes a long way. I usually top it off with a matte powder blush and it pops up even better :)

I used up a jar of this and had no problems with it except at the very end. The last 20% or so remaining in the jar got really dry and crumbly so I had to throw it away. Other than that, I loved the color and the application. I would buy it again.

I normally don't venture into drug store brands simply because my skin is way too sensitive and I like to stick with what I know, but I decided to give this a try. I wore this for a New year's party recently and I really liked the way it looked. I did have to build the color by blending it into my cheeks a couple of times using my fingers, but I really liked the end result. Ultimately, the color only lasted for about 4 hours which was fine with me since I was just at a party. I'm not sure yet if I would venture out into the other colors because they all seem like they would be too light to even show up on me (I'm an NC40) but I will definitely continue to use this one.

I admitt this stuff isn't perfect and I understand why a lot of people might not like it. It is shimmery and it doesn't last long. I really wanted to like this stuff so I put some primer underneath it and it does last a little bit longer. I really like the containers these are in. They give you a lot. I got the dream mousse concealer and they give you more blush than concealer. I admitt the sparkles are a little too much, but some people actually like the way it looks. It does fade during the day, but it doesn't really matter too much to me because if I realised that I didn't like the way the stuff looks on me it will fade and I don't have to wipe it off and mess up my makeup. I like the colors they have and I kinda want to get more of them. I do see why people don't like this blush, but I like this and so will other people.

I would only recommend this product to someone who likes glitter in their blush. I only like glitter in my eyeshadows. Sadly I think all of the mousse blushes contain glitter.

I love how easily this stuff blends out and the natural flush it gives me.

I really like this cream blush because it's so inexpensive and easy to apply. But generally I prefer more color so I'll layer a powder over it during the winter and just leave by itself in warmer weather.

I will consider buying this product in different colors again.

I heard a lot of reviews on this so i decided to try it out. I got this at Shoppers drugmart for $9, which to me was pretty expensive. they didn't have any samples so i decided to go for this one. when i first opened it, i was litterally like O_________O so many glitter. it was litterally like chunks of glitter. but i LOVE the texture. if nobody stopped me, i could be dunking my fingers in playing with it LOL. its a lovely color but it doesn't last very long. again, the glitter wasn't for me, but overall it was good.

I heard alot of good things about this product but I was extremley dissapointed it was nice color but the product doesn't blend well into the skin and it cause me to break out alot. I didn't like the quantity of glitter in the blush.

Love the colour, I totally recomend this if you are tanned. Its wonderful, gives me a polished/girly look. I like the mousse formulation, you really dont need much, only a tiny dab. For each cheek of course.
Now on to the cons...
The packaging can be quite prone to bactiria yes, since you are dipping your fingures in there each time. So make sure you wash your hands before doing your makeup and your all good!
Also one more thing, if you use this A LOT like EVERY day, you will run out of it faster than other blushes. I find.

Maybelline was pretty creative for coming up with this one, pat on the back!

This looks absolutely beautiful on top of my sister's skin (she's fair, probably NC20ish). She has dry skin, so this blush helps to make her skin look more dewy.

On me, it's not that pretty. I'm quite dark, NC35-37 and it doesn't show up as gorgeous as it does on my sister. Downsides:
- Packaging: unsanitary especially if you have long nails.
- Staying power is weak, have to set it with translucent powder but that makes the dewiness gone. :(

This color isn't exactly plum like I think of plum but it is a nice color. I really like the texture of these blushes. I do think they are a little pricey considering its a drugstore product but its not so much that it's outrageous. It is pigmented and I would recommend this color to fairer skinned girls. :)

I don't like any of the Maybelline Mousse products at all. The foundation broke me out and the concealer doesn't match me and this blush... Was glittery and made me look like I had rosacea no matter how little I used and what tool I used.

The best blush I have ever used! It's very light weight, doesn't clog my pores, and is a stunning color! I apply it with my fingers and it is very easy to give myself the perfect flush in all the right places on my face. Only a little bit is necessary so it is well worth it. This is the only drugstore blush I use.

This is an okay product for me. However, it's definitely not something that I would repurchase.

On the good side, it's light on your face and it can be easily applied. The colour isn't too intense and you can easily spread the mixture evenly out once you have it on your cheeks. The little glass container is also super cute - i plan to use it as a home-made lip gloss container after it runs out.

For a drug store blush, it's not a cheap one and there isn't a lot of content. Also, I think it's a bit too glittery for me. After application, it appears that the little bumps/pimples on my cheeks accentuates and made more obvious. Skin imperfections are especially common for me during exam/stress periods so I avoid this blush.

Overall, I do recommend it in the sense that it is a very different blush - the lightest looking mousse blush that i have ever used.
