Very pretty and unique color...especially for the cheeks.
I'd describe it as a deep watermelon pink with flex of gold shimmers.
Expensive side, if I had money would re-purchase otherwise I'd go with a cheaper alternative haha.

i LOVE this color more than anything, but i hate the consistency because i find it impossible to apply so far. ;sigh; however if you do know how to apply, its absolutely beautiful.

This was the first time I tried a cream product for blush. I saw this product at the pro store and fell in love. This cream as a blush looks so beautiful on my NW45 skintone. It looks like I'm really glowing from within as oppose to blush just sitting on top of my face. This product adds a special touch to a dull face.

i love the color(im a NW 25)it's a red/pinkish with gold shimmer.the texture is really good it blends very well..i use it only on my cheeks the color doesn't last for a long time i always have to reply it or it will fade way.
it looks really amazing with a highlighter over it (i use the Benefit High Beam).as a blusher its an ok product but i dont think i will buy again.

A very nice coral/golden blush. I have not used on my eyes, but I use it a lot on my cheeks. Really nice on medium skin tones.

This is a nice deep glowy golden peach color. Very flattering and brightens the face. Blends nicely and can also look nice when used on the lips. :)

Since I am shopping my stash more (trying to break the makeup buying addiction), I "rediscovered" some items that I bought and only used a few times. This cream colour base is one of those items. Originally, I bought it as an eye shadow base and it failed at that (creases badly after some time). I threw it into some makeup drawe,r never to be seen again until a few months ago. Fabulush works as a good orange-y coral blush. With fingers or brush, it blends into a lit-from-within color. This is probably a better base than a true blush, because the intensity, once blended, does not last the entire day. Also, oily skinned makeup lovers should be aware that it has an greasy feel to it. I have dry cheeks, so I luckily have not experienced breakouts, but this product does have oil in it. Rumors are flying that MAC may be discontinuing the ccb's, but I think Optimistic Orange may serve the same purpose, if you can get it at your local CCO or swap for it.

I love dewy looking skin and this product delivers that. The lasting power is great, and I often layer this under other blushes to increase their lasting power. Hasn't given me any break-outs and doesn't accentuate dry patches on my cheeks. Great product for cheeks (though I have other CCB and they crease too much for eyes imo). The color is not exactly what I like (a bit too sparkly for me), but that's just a matter of taste, but won't be buying again.

I've been wearing this on Eyes, Lips, & Cheeks during the summer months. I do pair it with MAC TLC Gentle Coral on my lips. I adore the fact that I only have to take 1 product for 3 applications...this is what I'm taking w/me on vacation. I said I wouldn't by again only because I think this will last me quite a while and I'll probably have already moved onto another something or other by the time I would need a refill. I'm a NC25 (just to let you know)...love the color, works fab...

The PERFECT summer cream blush. I usually don't like MAC cream blushes because of how sticky they are, so I decided to try a cream color base. This color is absolutely beautiful, applies smoothly, lasts all day, and best of all, ISN'T STICKY. And it's 3 dollars less than the regular cream blush. The color is buildable and gorgeous, I also add this to my lips when I'm not in the mood to wear lipgloss. It has subtle gold reflects that adds a 'bronze goddess' look to the face. For you cream blush lovers, you can't go wrong with this product!

this cream blush is the bomb.. it is an orange color laced with slight golden tones and it is the most flattering corally/orange shade for all complexions.

I have kept this product for myself and will use it lovingly during the coming months!

This is my first cream blush that I've purchased from MAC. I really like it. I'm a NC40 skin tone and its a nice warm coral color. It also highlights my cheeks, and make them look very dewy and natural. It's also very buildable which I like! I will definately repurchase this!!

I do like this alot. On my skin its like a corally(lol)-red color with peachy gold shimmer/pearl. When I wear this I have to wear my powder(MSFN in Medium plus) over it because sometimes I get too happy and layer too much on..but hey u gotta do that in order to get nice color. If you put too little on it will just look like you have shimmer on your cheeks and not really give you any color. Overrall I like this alot and its great (and fun) to have. I'm an NC30 btw

This is a nice peachy / coralish / coppery color. The formulation of this is the same as the other 2 cream color bases I have. Which is good, I have some NARS multiples and they all feel different.

This is creamy, but not goopy, easy to blend, the pigment of this one is good, better than my other two - Improper copper and Soft Rose.

I just swatched this on my hand to do this review and I am wondering why I don't use it more ? its really pretty. I am going to put this into regular rotation.. lol

I like this cream color base, I would describe it as a pinky-coral color when applied. I like to use this as a a blush, a base for my blush, and on my lips. It's a great bright color, it is very shimmery and it has a good creamy texture. For some reason mine looks kind of orange in the middle of the pan but it doesn't seem to affect the color when applied. I am not sure that I will use this enough to ever run out, but if I did I think that I would repurchase it. For reference I am NW20 in MAC's Studio Fix Powder.

I'm starting to slowly experiment with cream blushes and this was the first one I purchased. Love the color, its a hot coral with shimmer that doesn't apply as bright as it looks in the pan. Its just the product itself its too greasy for a person who already has oily skin. It doesn't last very long either. Okay product, and I'll try to work with it, but just not impressed. I recently purchased this at MAC but from what I've been told it was discontinued a while ago.

I should have tried this years ago. It gives my skin such a pretty glow on it's own, and it makes a great base for other blush colors. I am a MAC NC45, Prescriptives Fresh Antelope.

Pros: long lasting, slight shimmer beautiful color. Lasts all day and night! Can definitely control the color with more/less application. Great as a blush base to keep powder blushes on longer. Did i mention that it lasts ALL DAY/NIGHT?!!!

Cons: small container hard to get brush in.

For ref I'm a NC30, MUFE 120
