The BEST gel blush out there Seriously, this stuff is magic. I bought this and a similarly packaged gel blush (that was about 5x's more expensive) at the same time, and this blew it out of the water (I'm actually online right now grabbing another one to keep in my purse). I've tried glossier, benefit, naked, NARS, you name it- I always ended up looking somewhere between half dead, a toddler that broke into Mom's make up drawer, or Dee Snyder in his heyday. It definitely leaves me with the "great night sleep, yoga class, and massage at the spa glow" instead of "I've been up all night with a sick kid and now I have a fever glow"…. And at this price? Yes please.
Good, but not great. These have a stiff balmy texture to them and melt nicely into the skin, giving a slightly dewy look. I've worn these over bare skin and over/under other products. These work best for lighter makeup, or makeup that you don't mind retouching later through the day.
For a full face, or when you're underpainting for a long lasting look, these aren't the best choice. You can get them to last if you layer them up or use a darker color than you'd normally wear, and set with powder however at that point it all feels a bit heavy and sticky and there's a 50/50 chance the blush will disrupt or pull up whatever's underneath it.
It depends on your style whether these will be a good addition to your makeup bag, my only other qualms are minor. The packaging tends to get dirty pretty quick, and the writing rubs off easily.
Additionally, the three colors I tried (Blackberry, Strawberry and Raspberry) didn't suit me that well. I have a light olive skin tone, blackberry read as a very cool berry, but the color wasn't very deep and it ended up just giving a shadow effect. Raspberry as well pulls very cool, and strawberry has a white base which makes it look ashy and chalky.
I tried these before the peach and coral shades were available, I'm sure those would look better but would require some layering because of the sheer nature of most of the shades.

I was so sad this didnt work. I used Strawberry on top of the Colourpop pretty fresh foundation and it didnt show up at all. For reference, I'm between 10-30 fair neutral in that foundation. Im pale! It seemed more like a gloss woth a HINT of a color. I was so excited for this and it failed in my eyes. :(
The only blush I'll use! 5

This is my absolute favorite! It's got a glow to it, not as in mica but just a dewy glow that looks so ethereal. So easy to blend and it gives you a lot of control over the amount. I don't like blushes normally because either I over apply it or it disappears, this lasts a long time and doesn't look harsh. I'm very pale and the peach color looks like a natural blush! Not sticky, I like to rub my fingers on the stick then apply by tapping! Definitely gonna pickup more!

The color is very pretty, but the size is literally like a childish kid toy, It's extremely small. The formula was easy to blend on my skin. Great for a quick makeup look if you in a rush.

This is GREAT!! I put it straight on my face and blend with a Beauty Blender. Color peach crush is amazing. It's very light and airy. Also blendable and perfect color. Such a great deal for the price. My new fav, also looks dewy and fresh all day. Never wears away
