What can I say? This is MY blush. The blush I wear every day since I bought it two years ago. All my other blushes just lay there. It's Bobbi Brown, very good quality, a little goes a long way. The color works perfect summer and winter on my very pale skin. It's natural and gives me a healthy look. LOVE

My first venture into BB blushes. Amazing colour payoff, I almost had to re-learn how to apply, use a very light hand and light strokes. You can really feel the quality of this blush - very fine power, dense. Long-lasting, I wore it through a wedding during the hottest days of summer, and this lasted well with the barest of touchups.
Packaging is sleek, black, very compact, I carry it around everyday in my work bag, with a travel sized retractable blush brush from Boots. Note, I much prefer the square compacts than round ones, personal preference. I like angles.
Can be used for contouring, and I'll often combine this with a touch of Powder Pink pot rouge on the apples of my cheeks for a pretty, natural flush.

I like this product it is very pigminted but a little to dark for my skin tone. I marked I won't buy it again because I alternate between blushes and the bobbie brown one will take forever for me to make a dent in it. It's a great blush and lasts and doesn't draw attention to problem spots but it's just a little to dark for me...

I am kicking myself for not trying BB products sooner. Her powder blushes are the best I have ever tried and believe me I have tried a lot. They melt into your skin. I live in a really small town that has a Sephora about forty minutes away but it blows. It does not offer the majority of brands that are available at other Sephoras I have been to in the past. It is mainly hair products and stuff. I apologize for the rant but it really frustrates me b/c this is why I have never branched out to try BB. There is not a counter in sight. I stumbled across Bobbi Brown's products on QVC so I thought I would order a few because what doesn't work I can always send back with no charge. I love Kate Middleton's makeup minus the heavy liner and I read that she uses BB. I bought this and Pale pink (which she wears). Pale pink is a must have too! It is so pretty. Sand pink is what I wanted Mac Blushbaby to be on me but it was always ruddy and just plain yuck. Sand pink has a bit of brown in it that just looks sooo natural. On me it is like a blend of pink blush and bronzer. It is like you are not wearing anything. Pale Pink and this are the most natural blushes that I own. Pale Pink is the "blushing child" kind of blush and Sand Pink is pure natural perfection. Just be sure to use a really light hand. I use my Nars Yachiyo (hope thats spelled right) and still have to be careful. It is much more pigmented than Pale Pink. TAP off the excess or it will stick in one spot. I am ready to get rid of all my other powder blushes and just use these. They are perfect.

This is my first Bobbi Brown purchase and I have to say I'm very impressed- This is highly pigmented blush so lightly swipe your brush. I wore it out last night and I have to say this blush has great staying power-I didn't have to reapply. I would definitely repurchase.

I love sand pink. For me, it's too pink to wear during the day, but i use it in the evening for a more glam look when i'm wearing a full makeup look. I've had this in my makeup wardrobe for over 10 years!

This is great after a tan. Its natural not ruddy. I can use this with very simple eye make up. It adds a nice glow.

This is like my favourite blush in the world. I'm actually really fair, like ivory for most foundations but it's a pretty pink colour on me. When I get slightly more tanned in the summer, I use this as a contour for my cheekbones! Looks super natural. It's not a light pink, more like a mauve-y pink, which I love! Also, this stuff lasts forever! I've literally been using it almost everyday for 2 years now and it still hasn't hit pan... it's like it just doesn't wanna be finished. Love it! <3

Bought this, didn't like it, swapped it away. This is quite pricey for the amount of product that you get. The packaging is also kind of small for a blush so its hard to get my brush to pick up the right amount of product and distribute it evenly. This is a mid-tone rosy mauve color. I don't know what I was thinking when I bought this. Its far too dark for my skin tone. Its almost too pigmented. I feel like I can never get it to look natural and it goes on sort of patchy. I always looked sunburned when I wore this. Couldn't get it to work. Would not repurchase.

This blush is what my cheeks naturally flush. I was actually impressed by this and have been using it daily. I put a swipe of pale pink over the top. Looks great with a tan also. The color on me is a muted rose/raspbery. Great blush.

18 years and I'm still using this blush though it isn't my only one. It is the staple, the one I'll reach for when I'm in a hurry, not sure of how my makeup will coordinate with my clothes or just lazy. It is a fabulous colour but of course only if it is right for your complexion. I am fair (sand foundation) with blue eyes. I would call it a brownish mauve. BB came out with a lip colour called sand pink but it was nothing like this blush.

A rose tone blush of medium depth, that lovely shade that's more intense and well, rosier, than a mauve, but not as conspicuous as a raspberry shade. This could be called browned-rose or something similar, the brownish tone adds depth without it becoming too brown or heavy. The brown doesn't interfere with the clarity of the rose tone, it just lends it a more natural effect. This is a true blushed effect, what I imagine when I think of what blush was intended to do--looks just like your skin but blushed and rosy. This is what I thought Desert Rose would have looked like; this is a shade deeper and more of a true rose than her Desert Pink. This doesn't have the brightening effect of her Pale pink blush, but it has greater depth and lends to a sultrier flush. Looks extremely natural and could work with a variety of lip/eye combo's except for perhaps a strong coral lip tone. I'm always wary of blushes oxidizing or changing color on me, no issues here. Absolutely gorgeous and a little goes a very long way. Would absolutely repurchase. I have one for my home, one for my bag.

What came to me as a swap turned into one of my HG blushes. This is probably the most natural blush for my coloring. It gives my cheeks a natural, pink flush. It stays all day, no matter what foundation I'm wearing. For reference, I use Bare Minerals in Medium Beige and Laura Mercier Oil-Free Foundation in Sunny Beige. Occasionally, I will use Bobbi Brown Foundation stick in Warm Sand. It is very flattering on my warm toned skin, and I will repurchase.

This is a gorgeous soft pink blush with a bit of berry in it. The pigmentation is fantastic and the texture is great. The only think I don't like is that it is a bit too dark/intense for my fair skin, I prefer lighter and peachier pinks. Plus it's easy to overdo this blush due to the pigmentation. But used with a light hand, this would look absolutely gorgeous on someone with medium-to-dark skin.

Easy to handle, goes on well in layers with a brush. Good cling to the BB Luminous Foundation. No skin irritation and comes off easily at the end of the day. Goes well with light brown hair and green eyes.

This is a great, rosy pink blush. This is a cool pink - no hint of peach in this color at all. The color is very warm and natural on me (looks great with my L'Oreal Make Me Blush l/s). For ref. I am BB Warm Ivory/Sand. Blush is finely milled and when you run your brush over it there is not a lot of "extra" falling off. Good color payoff, (in fact I have to sometimes tone it down with my finishing powder). Color lasts all day, and I love the square packaging that I can pop out and put in a palette. A little pricey, but not when compared to other similar brands. Would definitely buy again.

Note: Some reviewers say this is similar to Desert Pink. I have and use both - Desert Pink is a shade lighter and has a definite peach undertone, Sand Pink does not.

Th first tim I applied this colour on my Sand/Warm Sand BB foundation shade skin I admit I was heavy handed and I ended up with dark and dirty purply cheeks. You need to be light handed if you want to mak it work on fair skin.

I have to admit that when I first saw this blush (after buying it online) in the pot I was scared by how bright it looked. I should have trusted my instinct to just move on to a different shade because no matter how light I would try to apply this blush, it would just look too bright and unnatural on me. For some reason, the other BB blushes I have blend really well, but this one was just hard to work with and looked really patchy. I finally gave up and I'm now more happier with BB's blush in Slopes.

Terrible! This made me look like a complete clown. I thought that even though this looked scary dark in the pan, maybe it would go on sheer and blend in well. NOT the case! It was soo difficult to blend and just sat on the apples of my cheeks not budging. All of the swirling and trying to distribute the blush probably made my cheeks even redder.

i returned this the next day. i didnt even exchange for another bobbi brown blush of a lighter color, because to me it seems these blushes just don't have superior blendability like Smashbox.
