Only Blush I Use
TWMichello (160 reviews)

Since Neutrogena no longer makes their Soft Color blushes, this is the only drugstore blush I will buy! I love Rose Silk, because it's a beautiful warm pink, with just enough shimmer to make cheeks glow, but not look glittery or "shiny". Cool pinks don't work on my warm pale skintone, and darker pinks tend to turn muddy on me for some reason, but this shade is so pretty and natural looking! This blush applies smoothly, and lasts well, and doesn't break me out. I have been a CG blush fan for many years, and considering I own blushes from Mac, Lancome, Clinique, Stila, and Estee Lauder, that's saying a lot!!!! If you're darker than medium, this shade may be too light for you, but you golden goddesses might just love "Iced Plum", which is the shade I use when I'm tan. CG has some unexpectedly good products, and this blush is one of them! Let me say first that I don't like the CG brand, and I try not to buy their products. For a number of reasons--including the fact that they still test on animals--CG is one of the last brands I'm likely to buy when I go into a store. But I have a big weakness for blush, and there was a coupon at my store for $1.50 off a CG product, so here I am... And this is a great blush: sheer, luminous, and just plain pretty. It's also low maintenance, meaning hard to overdo. I've got a lot of blushes, and with some of them you have to really watch your application or you'll end up too bright or stripey or whatever. But Rose Silk is easy. The color also looks really natural, and pretty much goes with whatever face you're putting on. If you're a minimalist, this could be the only blush (or one of the few) you'll ever need. I also like the compact, even if it's clunky-looking; it's hard to find a d/s blush with a mirrored compact these days. This is a beautiful and inexpensive blush. It is easy to build upon and if used over other blushes produces a nice glowy effect. The only thing I don't like about CG blushes is that they seem to get a strange build up on the ends with dirt (from blush brush possibly, but I wash my brushes once a week and only use makeup on a clean face in the am. Overall, if this blush is applied correctly it will have some shimmer but not turn you into a glitter face. This is my daily wear blush. I have dark hair & eyes and this goes really well with my nuetral brown tones for eyes & lips on a daily basis. It gives just the right amount of color without looking overdone and gives a nice flushed appearance to my cheeks. I've tried several othe blushes and always end up right back here. I love the flip top lid, but obviously I do not use the brush that comes with this. This blush is fantastic, really. I couldn't figure out how the compact worked for the life of me when I first opened it, but now I got it and it's great. The color goes on very very smooth and natural. I have the palest skin on the planet I think and it still looks great. It has a touch of shimmer to it that's subtle but gives skin a very lovely glow. I think this is the first blush that I've found that shows up, looks natural, and is extremely affordable. I just got this blush today. My favorite blush is New York Color Mosaic Blush in Pink Cheek Glow, but Walmart never seems to have that shade, so I decided to try this blush. I like the compact it comes in and the color is natural looking, which is good because I don't like looking like a clown. However, I don't like the smell and even though the color is nice, I just wish it were a bit more pigmented. Also, the brush that comes with this is useless. I tried using it and I couldn't get enough of the product onto the brush, so I used my blush brush instead and that worked much better. I will repurchase this blush until I find something better. I must have a different packaging than other reviewers.. mine has no mirror and is a smallish compact. I don't love the packaging it's very cheap looking. Lovely easy to wear blush in a beautiful colour without too much shimmer and lasts a decent amount of time. I am happy with it. — 3 months, 4 weeks ago

this blush leaves the perfect amount of color. it blends very nicely and gives a nice glow. the packaging is a little bulky because of the mirror, but the product is actually nice and shimmery with a long lasting finish! — 1 year ago

Not upset over Discontined Status
shandimessmer (91 reviews)

I'm kinda glad it was. It was a good blush, but for the cost, you get very little and it doesn't last a very long time. The majority of this product was the mirror in the packaging. Lame. — 3 months, 2 weeks ago

Good quality
vanillasummer (63 reviews)

It's highly pigmented yet blends nicely. The brush is on the small side, but it's relatively dense. The color choices are practical. Overall, very pleased. — 6 months ago

Pretty good stuff
tangytaffy01 (11 reviews)

I usually prefer a more shimmery blush, but this does just about everything right. It's not messy, the color looks natural, and the container lasts a LONG time. However, it doesn't quite strike the balance between too light and too noticeable and I usually have to reapply later in the day. — 1 year, 7 months ago
