I've been using this for months now. I have this in "Pure".
I think that even though the variety of shades is extremely limited (2,
I believe), this color actually works for my super fair skin.
I like this blush because it does not break me out, but it seems to be a little too sheer for me. I have to put quite a bit of it on just to get some color on my cheeks (again, super fair skin!).
I may try the Nars blush next....

I picked up the Pure 22 blush a few years back at Target in the US. The blush colour is kind of a peachy pink and dusty pink colour.
I love this blush. It comes with it's own brush, which is not the best but it works alright. This colour works nicely on my Asian colouring, I have kind of a light to medium colouring. The blush is sheer but totally build-able. It has some shimmer to it, but not so much that it looks like your face is shiny. After you apply this blush, it looks natural and feels natural. I have received compliments about my colouring and I attribute it to my blush (especially during the winter season). Plus it is relatively inexpensive and worthwhile for a drugstore brand.
The only downside is there's no mirror, but it's such a minor thing that it doesn't take away from this product at all.

Amazing blush! I always have trouble finding the right blush because I'm super pale and have really sensitive skin so it's hard finding products that don't break me out. This blush looks awesome on me. When you swirl all the colors together you get a nice pink color that's very flattering. I also got this really cheap (like 3 dollars or something) which was a plus. :)

I thought this blush looked very nice on me. I don't like wearing blush much, but if I just wear foundation I'll end up looking like a zombie or something.
It gives me a nice, slight wash of color- perfect for my hectic school life.
I can't go to school looking like a clown after all!
I got it was pretty cheap, too.

This mascara is the great if you're looking for a natural look during the day. Also I have VERY fair skin and it's barely noticible so if you have darker skin it may not work well for you. Finally the brush that came with the package is very cheap and the bristles fall out all over the place, so if you choose to buy this you'll need another blus brush.

I like this, I am NC25 and I use this with a fluffy blush brush and it imparts a nice pink glow, nothing too dramatic. The included brush is worthless, so I tossed that.

I don't like this blush. I got it half off so I figured that I would give it a try. I am a very fair person and this barely showed up at all. I was so disapointed in this. It says sheer on the package and they mean sheer. Would not waste my money on this again.

I have this in Pure and it's what I wear on a daily basis for natural, healthy-looking cheeks. On my NC 20 skin tone it is just the perfect sheer pinky-mauve color that is impossible to overdo. One of my biggest pet peeves is when I inadvertently apply too much color to my cheeks and end up having to swipe at my face with a cotton pad, messing up my foundation contour and highlight along the way. Not a problem with this blush. I just love how goof-proof it is and how it looks like your own coloring instead of an artificially bright and bubbly shade. That being said, I have an extreme dislike toward this packaging. It's bulky and ugly and the included brush is, of course, useless.

This blush is so natural! It's quite sheer but you could build up the color, and it's so pretty! I could use this blush everyday because it's just looks like you're shy every second. Recommend this to paler skin people.

They definitely mean sheer. I have to use a lot of product for this to show up. I use shade Pure 22 which is too light for my skin to begin with. Once I do get some color its quite nice. Its a healthy glow. Since its so light theres no need to worry about overapplying or a line of demarcation. I wouldn't really waste my money on this product again. If I want a sheer look I can apply a regular blush with a light hand. Like most neutrogena makeup, its nice if you want a super natural light coverage. Perfect for younger girls.

For me it looked way to unnatural. It is also not blendable.

I got this in Pure.
It is sheer, but actually too sheer. I have to layer and layer and layer to the extent that I think my foundation starts to come off...and the lasting power is pretty bad too.
But here's what this is good for. Whenever I feel like wearing just some lipstick, I also apply this blush to my cheeks. It looks like its my cheeks and that I don't have anything on. For that, its perfect. You can also use it to layer it on top of cream blush. Otherwise, it's no good.
Won't repurchase.

Several backups of this product in all shades, especially the Fresh (pink)
It is the perfect perfect pale pink to use on pale skin or on top of bronzers... it gives a very subtle pinkish glow.
love it, love the price -- hate the packaging but so what?

I bought this in Fresh, it looked really pink in the package, but it comes out to the PERFECT pink on my cheeks. I have really pale skin and it gives my cheeks a natural, pink flush that i LOVE. i've been trying to find this color for the longest! Dont be afraid of the way it looks in the package because it look great once you put it on!

Bought this today. I love so far. Pretty peachy flush no glitter or shimmer. I didn't use brush that came with it..rather cheap. I have a nice brush I used to apply and I was pleasantly surprised. Its too expensive for drugstore brand but cheaper than the 28. Bucks I was gonna spend on a another blush at Ulta I was drooLing over. So far so good.

I have this in Healthy which consists of peachy tone squares. I really like the fact that you can build up the color rather than putting on too much and having a hard time trying to tone it down. It gives a nice peach/pink glow to your cheeks.

Luckily, I got this blush as a gift. Otherwise I would be very frustrated with forking over $13 for such a mediocre blush. I thought it would be a nice product because the colors would blend together and give me a good shade. I was right about that, it did give me a nice shade but was too sheer for my liking. I am aware that the product markets itself as "sheer", but its way too sheer to even show up well on my skin. In the summer this blush barely shows up on my skin but it's alright for the winter. As for the packaging, its very cheap and low quality. The brush is a joke. For a drugstore blush it was pretty pricey. I wouldn't buy this again because I'd rather spend less for more color pay-off.

This product really failed to impress me....From afar, I thought I was buying the perfect product for me..a blendable blush with light pink pigmentation...but unfortunately, buying this was really a big mistake. I bought this like 5 years ago and I still have it, barely used....The color was not at all flattering on my skin tone, even though I am really pale and expected it to give me a natural flush....I rather prefer peachy tones for my shade, but I wish I realized that a long time ago when I got this...Maybe it fits other tones better though, but nonetheless, even the quality of this blush was mediocre and it didn't seem to have many dimensions...

I use this as a highlighter shade almost daily. I was drawn to this product simply because it was pretty to look at! It has a very small amount of shimmer and compliments my skin tone well.

I have purchased this blush twice. This mosaic pink blush is a very pretty shade, with a tiny amount of shimmer. Looks very natural. My complaint is that it goes on VERY sheer. I'm pale, and I have to basically push my blush brush into this very hard to get enough product onto the brush, and I definately need to go back and build the color. Because of this I run out of this very quickly. I won't repurchase, because I have found another mosaic blush that is much cheaper and better (NYC Color Wheel Mosaic in pink)
