Finally a great shade that looks like something. I hate it when I put on blush and I still look like blah. For me the purpose of the blush is to bring out the glow of my skin and the eyes without looking like I have fever. This one is a gentle peach blush that does not make me look overblushed or feverish and gives me a natural looking flush and brings out my eyes. Lovely. Much better for me than Convertible color Peony, The color push up rose flush stick by Stila or Mac Cherche, Ladyblush, or Lilicent which all were too neutral for me.

Best cream blush on the market, have tried Mac etc and this one has best texture lovely & creamy, nice mirror with it blends really well. Had so many compliments from wearing this blush, unfortunately it has been discontinued in Europe but was always sold out over here when it was around........for a reason

I recently rediscovered this blush in my stash. The color is very nice on my NC20-25 skin. I'm not a great judge of warm/cool shades, other than to know that cool shades don't look good on me, but this one is very natural as long as you don't overdo it, and I love the dewy finish you get from these as opposed to powder blushes. I apply this with my Chanel foundation brush rather than my fingers, which I've found works a lot better for directing color just where you want it. My only gripe is that if you touch or rub your cheeks after applying, the color will be gone. As long as you don't mess with it, it'll stay all day.

Overall, though, I don't think I'd repurchase. There are many other cream formulas out there that stick to the skin much longer than this one, and the color isn't entirely unique.

The color of this blush is great for medium skin because it gives a very nice flush that looks like you just worked out. It's also very blendable and looks natural on the skin. Plus, the whole pan will last a very long time.

The compact itself is really cute. It's not too big and has a decent-sized mirror in it.

I wouldn't use it as a lip product as it can be drying on the lips and and only lasts all day if you top it off with powder.

Still, I'd say this is the best make up investment I have made.

Great cream blush, the best consistency out there so far. It's not as oily as mac's blushcremes and better packaging (has a mirror and is prettier). The price is a bit steep for less product but the range of colors are better. I like this one and gerbera.

So excited about this product. Absolutely love the color, doesn't look over done and is really good for your every day look. It is also super easy to apply and even if you do over apply its really easy to fix by slightly blotting with a paper towel. The one thing I was wish was better was its ability to last through out the WHOLE day. I find that I need to re-apply about half-way through the day.

PROS
- great color
- easy to work with
- blends really great

CONS
- doesn't last the whole day

I ADORE this product.
Originally, I tried it when one of my friends got a sample from a Sephora points discount. I fell in love with it, and absolutely had to have one for myself. I've used it both as a lip colour and a blush, and So far I've had no problems with it other than the fact that it's a little pricey for someone my age (but especially when you're shopping at Sephora what isn't?).
I recommend getting this for anyone who has issues with blush that disappears after a while. Apply it on top of your foundation and top it off with some setting powder, and it stays on all day. It doesn't make me break out, which is a plus, and it's a beautiful colour as well!

so far, I'm hooked to this. I like that it makes my oily skin look dewy, but not oily, and it doesn't look like my blush is sitting on my face, but is rather natural, and I haven't broken out yet. I'll look for an organic and natural version, but for now I'll stick to this!

I LOVE THIS STUFF!! I was watching a local program and they had a mac makeup person on and they were showing a cream blush. So I went to ulta to find one and I tried this and I loved it right away. so did my friend that came with me, we both bought it despite the expensive price. a little bit goes a long way. Dont like it for the lip gloss part but i do wipe the excess off my finger on my eyelids if i dont use shadow.
and as a bonus, my husband keeps telling me i look pretty:)

i am a fan of stilas convertible colors, but lillium isnt my favorite. the color is a neutral pink, not too warm nor cool, so it is easily paired with a variety of looks. what drops the rating down for me is that it is so sticky! i own convertible colors in poppy and fuschia, both of which are sheer and slightly sticky but quickly set to a minimally tacky finish (poppy, especially, as a rather gel-like consistency that makes it much easier to work with); lillium just stays sticky on my cheeks. in addition, it looks terrible on my lips. i got a small sample size of this as part of a sephora promotion, but i wouldnt buy it in full size.

This is a beautiful, natural light pink color! I love the look and finish of cream blushes. However, I found this only good on cheeks, WAY to drying to be used on lips. Its easy to apply.

I purchased the convertible dual cheek and lip cream in lillium so I could just carry a blush around in my small shoulder bag without the need to also carry a blush brush and I have fallen in love with this product since then. As a blush, Lilluim in particular gives this very natural light peach flush and a little can go a long way. To avoid touch ups, a couple strokes of blush or even transluscent powder after applying this delightful cream onto the cheeks can assist in staying power longetivity. This is a blush that I have had no problem exposing in the ladies room since the application is sooo easy (no blush brush required!) and not to mention that the packaging isn't hard on the eyes either.

The only reason that i gave this a 4/5 was because it didn't satisfy any of my lip cravings. Perhaps another color would have been better, but Lillium only seemed to wash me out and wasn't capable of flaterring my skin tone at all (fair-medium).

Overall, this is still my favorite blush and I can guarantee that I'll buy another one once I've run out

This color is really gorgeous. I love it. It was my 1st creme blush and I will admit I was a bit scared seeing I have oily skin. This gave me a natural flush to my cheeks very pretty overall glow without looking shiny. Its also a great lip color as well a pink nude very versatile. You just need to add lip balm under so it doesnt dry out. I will definitely re purchase my fav Stila product so far.

You know all of those products that claim to give you a "natural, lit from within healthy glow"?

This is the one that REALLY DOES.

A tiny bit of this gorgeous peachy pink goes a long, long way. I can't imagine ever using it up but in the unlikely event, I would definitely repurchase.

Lasts all day, too.

This product has been getting a lot of use lately, and is definately on it's way to becoming an HG, everyday blush for me.


Colour-wise, on the cheeks, it's a very pretty, candied, peached-pink. Far less peachy/tawny than NARS' Penny Lane creme blush, but in the same colour family and with a slightly brighter effect. While it looks straight-up, slightly-browned, orange-coral in the pot, it goes on almost Nerd-like (the candies, imagine if the Orange & Pink Nerds had babies, it would be this colour) on my slightly cool/neutral-ish skin (MAC Studio Fix PPF N3, Sculpt NW15, MUFEHD110, BB Alabaster.)


Lipwise, it goes on a very subdued, coral-like colour on my medium-pigmented lips. Similar to MAC's Ravishing Cremesheen lipstick, blotted. It's very gel-like, kind of sticky, almost like Body Shop's Lip Butters in heavyness. It doesn't last particularly long as a lipstick, but definately lasts as a blush through a 7-hour day at school. It does require some touching up on long days or after dance, but it doesn't oxidize - just fades.


It blends as nicely as Stila's other CCs, and though I hate the finger-dipping to get lip product, the compact itself is quite nice. A definate re-buy when I finish it.

This is a perfect peachy pink color. I love this but you have to apply it correctly to get the right look. This a highly rated product for a reason.

I have had this for ages and it lay in my drawer tried and unliked. I cold not understand why this sticky, difficult to blend cream won so many awards in magazines. Then I decided to get it out of the drawer, I had it in my hand for a while as I was reading reviews on here (wondering what I was doing wrong as everyone else seem to love these little compacts), I then stuck my finger in and because it was warm it had becoe a much better, smoother consistency which was a doddle to apply! I can't believe it has been sat there all this time and I didn't think to warm it up a bit! Doh!

It's sucha pretty colour too I think I will be using this much more reguarly now, I've only given it four lippies however, as I don't like it as a lippie its very drying and the colour doesn't suit my lips at all (looks great on my cheeks with my super pale skin though!)

One of my favorite blushes! A pink apricot which warms up my fair cheeks perfectly. I use a MAC 188 to apply on the apples of my cheeks, and brush a little NARS Orgasm over it if I want a real punch of color.

I adore this as a blush. I am very pale (pretty neutral, leaning towards warm) and I don't like anything super-bright on my cheeks. This fits the bill. It is nude/pink/peachy with no sparkles or any other bells and whistles. I find that application is best when used with a stippling brush. I just pat it on with my fingers and then blend with the brush. It looks completely natural and seamless on my skin. I don't like this as much as a lip color, since I find it a bit drying, but I don't care because I want it all as a blush! The package I have is a bit hard to open, you really have to pop it open, but maybe that's just the compact I got. A great travel product, too.

I've been on the hunt for a perfect nude color for a very long time. Everything is either too bright or too dark and when shades actually did look nice... they unfortunately also made my lips look really fake.

But this stuff is absolutely perfect. It makes my looks naturally soft, plush, and downright beautiful. I could not be happier with the color Lillium. It's also pretty nice on my cheeks.

My purse has gotten heavier and heavier over time with having to carry so much makeup around, but with this I can lose all my other lip products and blushes and make my load a lot lighter.

My only major problem with this is the price. 25 dollars seems like a lot for a lip cream but it is very pretty. I also don't like that my fingers get so messy and sticky while using it, will always have to carry tissue and some purrell around to clean myself up!
