I agree on the comment that this one is SO easy to overdo, but I like the color. I must have spent 30 mins at the shop just choosing the right color. I chose 74 because it has no shimmer. It's a bit too pigmented, so I have to be really careful with application. I'm not a big fan of the packaging though. It's a nice travel size but I prefer blushes of the powder size. Oh, and the smell...yuck. But I'd buy it again, just in a different shade.

Have always liked Bourjois blushes yet this one I'm not that keen on. I don't like it applied when I have no foundation on & when I do have foundation on, it's still only average. There's a lot nicer blushes out there that cost less - save your money. I don't recommend & won't be repurchasing.

This is my first bourjois blush and I really like it! I live in Australia and the blush retailed for $20, but got it $16 on sale. There was such a variety of colours to choose from and I had a hard time choosing the right one. I decided to choose this colour as it appeared very pigmented and has a nice rose touch to my cheeks :) I would say that this blush does not last very long and would have to apply once or twice when i go out. The packaging and scent is really nice and would probably buy one again.

EDIT: I bought 2 more, in shades Rose D'or and Rose Frisson. Perfect for spring or summer :)

I love this blush! It's so pigmented that it's easy to overdo, but if you apply with a light hand it's so beautiful! I personally love the smell and the little round pot is so portable. I was a little underwhelmed at the size of the blush, especially since it costs $20 full priced here in Australia. But they have sales regularly and I got mine for less than $10.
I love the colour- it's not too cool-toned, not too light and it's no doubt my favourite blush thus far!

Clearly I got one from a bad batch. I found it impossible to actually get a pickup of pigment or any colour to show! I scrubbed off a lot of the top layer in case it had sort of solidified or crystallised over, and tried all sorts of application techniques ranging from cotton balls to fingers to fabric ( a brush simply did not register).
Strange, maybe Australia gets the dreaded baked version or something...anyway no risk of the clown cheek!

Bourjois is definitely one of my favourite make up brands. I am French and moved to Australia: my mum has always used this blush and when I open mine and smell it, it reminds me of home. :)
As long as I can remember, I always had a Bourjois blush (I never pick the same shade though): love the smell, love the packaging, love the large range of shades, love the texture and the fact that one pot will last for months!
I particularly like this shade as it is not too shimmery or pink.
It is kind of a sentimental product for me and I think I will always have one of these with me. I just think they are a bit hard to find here (and so much more expensive!)

What a adorable product!
I love this Blush! This is my most favorite blusher! for £6-£8 this is apsalutely amazing! Roumer has it that Bourjois is the sister company to Chanel. It is cirtainly the quality of Chanel to over half price! Even my high end products like Benefit and MAC blushers does not come close to this!The packaging is adorable, small and compact. Had this for ages now and the baked blush has not budged. It has stayed where it is. an amazing product. Cirtainly buying this cute, amazing quality and affordable Blush. A******!!
5/5

Lovely color for fall & winter. Buildable, has just enough sheen to it so that it looks natural. Adorable presentation, the compact (dosen't have the quality of high end, made of matte plastic) is easy to put in a small makeup pouch for retouches during the day. I must say that I haven't needed to reapply. Staying power is pretty good on me. Good affordable quality, I will liquely purshase a couple of other colors.

A little goes a long way with this blush. The fragrance is a little overpowering, but I got used to it. Very pigmented & finely milled. Staying power is pretty good, lasts half a day for me & since it's small & compact (2.5g), it's easy to carry around. This has a matte finish, beautiful for autumn/winter. The brush is pretty much rubbish to me though :(I hardly hit pan with any of my blushes so I do like this little blush. I won't repurchase because I wear peachy toned blushes most of the time, and I see this lasting a long time for me <3

Lovely blush.
Looks natural, like you are genuinely flushing through the skin. Its got a reeeally subtle sheen. So subtle I wonder if Im imagining it. But its not matte, and its not glittery. The kind of natural sheen your skin would have unaided.
Really buildable so you can do it natural, and if you're looking a little tired late in the day then another sweep doesn't make you look caked.
The little brush it comes with is useless, so ignore it. Use your own blush brush.
Fab little blusher. Repeat buyer.

I love the color of this blush. It's a dark pink that looks lovely on the cheeks. I picked this color cause it was one of the few shades without glitter (seriously, I hate glittery blushes, they look so cheap and fake). It turned to be one of the best blushes I've ever had. The only cons are the brush that comes with the package, it's really small and hard to use. The small box tends to open in my bag too... wish they made a better one.

This is a great blush. The only downside for me is the packaging. The small pan makes it hard for my brush to fit/sweep across evenly. 'Rose Ambre' is a warm medium rose shade with slight brown tones. It is very pigmented and has a matte finish. I apply this with a light hand and it gives a subtle "flushed" look on my medium skin-tone (but you can easily layer to achieve a "bolder" look if you wanted). Wear is average, it tends to come off towards the end of the day. Would last better layered over a creme blush of similar colour.

I'm not going to add anything new to what has already been written about this blush. I love the color, it really warms up my pale complexion without looking OTT. I didn't realize how pigmented the product was and went full guns when I first got it, WOWSA, not such a good look,lol! I use a fan brush for just a washof color and a fuller brush when I want more. Ironically, the most popular blush, Rose D'or looked pretty bad on me. I really like Bourjois products and as far as the blushes go, you pretty much cannot go wrong as long as you get the right shade.

The colour of this blush is perfect, a gorgeous warm pink! It lasts all day, and has the most amazing floral smell. Love it.

This is my favourite blush! It has a silky pressed powder formula, which blends really well! I find the colour is perfect for my skin tone, some days I also use a Bourjois shimmery blush (like Lilas D'or), for contouring. It's perfect for layering, one coat is enough for most people, however I like to apply two. The soft powder blends really well, if you use a large blush brush. I have gotten a few compliments wearing this shade, it is just perfect! I find that it lasts all day. It smells like roses, which I find is wonderful, but I know a lot of people dislike. The smell doesn't stay on your face, so I don't see how it would be an issue. This product lasts for ages as well! I owned one for, maybe 2 years, and I only had to recently replace it. On the up side, when I bought a new one, they had repackaged it with a super cute Eiffel Tower design! (it was limited edition, to my dismay). Love it. The brush was pathetically useless. I've come to except that though, included brushes are like complimentary mints. I would recommend this product to everyone, there are plenty of shades available too. I also have rather sensitive skin, so I'm happy to say I have never had a problem using this (:

I love this blush!
Even the packaging was enough for me to buy it :)) It comes in a little round package which is easy to carry in your bag.It is just 2,5g but it lasts forever.
It's been 2 years since I bought it-I use it almost every day-and I guess it will last at least 3 more years.I see no decrease in its performance since I first opened it.
It has an amazing scent which makes me wanna smell it all the time! But surely it does not give your cheeks the smell...I do not use it with the brush that comes with it, so I don't know if the brush works at all.
The colour "Rose Ambre 74" looks amazing on my olive skin. It is a matte pink that is not too bright or too fair.
I see some users do not like it because of its lack of pigmentation or its hard usage. It is true and you need to press the brush to the blush a little harder than you normally do for other blushes. But, that leaves you with a colour that lasts until the end of the day-unlike most other powder blushes.
I definetely recommend it, and I will definetely repurchase it-if it ever finishes.

Oh. I see you all liked it quite a lot. Sadly I must disagree. I'm not sure what is wrong with mine, but it just look like the least pigmented blusher ever. I have mine in Rose frisson. I don't know what's wrong, maybe I just picked up the wrong color. The scent is definitely nice. :)

Now that I've read your reviews, well, I'm pretty sure i'll buy a new one and hopefully change my opinion. :)

I love the smell of this--it's sort of vanilla-y and sweet, although subtle. It comes in a little pot with a tiny mirror and curved brush, which I actually find works well. There are so many colors to choose from but I have always used this one and it's really lovely, nice and natural. Lasts a really long time, too. Totally cute and they now have pots decorated with some of the original designs. Cheap in Europe, expensive in the US but also (so the rumor goes) made by the same company who manufactures Chanel's products.

It's less shimmery than the Ambre D'Or one.
Again,i love the compact in which it comes. With a very good mirror and little brush. It's perfect to bring wherever you want.
Smells very nice,delicate fragrance,not too obvious. Just to boost your confidence.
A very rose-candy-ish pink color?
I prefer the Ambre D'Or tone one,as this one may be for the younger ones. Even though I am 16.
