Fun but difficult
First off, be aware, the lighter colors are not near as pigmented as the darker colors. They do have a strange texture and are more mushy that bouncy. The best way I have found to apply them is by gently swirling my finger around in a circle in the product. This gets it on my finger, then I can tap it into my skin. I have also used a flat top brush and stippled it into the product, the swirled it on my cheeks. Trying to swipe my finger through the product - like you can with cream blushes, just didn't work for me. I always put a powder blush over the top to set it. It does feel like a powder after you apply it to your cheeks, but the staying power isn't really there for these blushes. The consistency is like a really finely milled powder mixed with play dough (not greasy like play dough though. It does not bounce back when you press your finger in it, so I am not sure why they call it bouncy blush. They should have called it smooshy blush as that seems more appropriate. It us a fun product to have in your collection if things like this cheer you up. Once you learn the best way for you to use it, it is easy and fairly quick to apply. Overall, I am not sure if I would re-purchase, but I do recommend it for the fun factor and just to try out the uniqueness of it. — 11 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 5 people said helpful

Nice but a bit streaky
This has a nice feel and goes on decent but can streak and doesn't last all that long. Colors are good. — 10 months, 3 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful

Great Concept, Poor Delivery
When I heard about these blushes, I could not wait to get my hands on them. I love unusual, gimmicky products to spice up my daily makeup routine, and the texture of these sounded like so much fun. However, I was pretty disappointed upon testing out the colors I purchased. Initially, I tried to apply with my fingers, since I thought the consistency of the product would make using a brush messy and difficult. This was an all-around terrible technique. I could never blend the dark colors correctly and always ended up looking either very patchy or like a complete clown. And the light colors barely showed up at all. Even on days when I managed to get my cheeks looking fairly decent with these products, they had soaked into my skin by midday, leaving me looking washed out. This is the first blush that has every disappeared on me like that. After a lot of failed attempts at decent finger application, I decided I might as well at least try applying with a brush. And I was pleasantly surprised. I found that dabbing my brush into a darker color, and then (very patiently) blending that into my cheeks, I actually got natural, decent color! However, it takes a lot of blending and just the right amount of product. Overall, I think this product is worth buying just to enjoy a fun gimmick. I am not sure if I’ll even keep my two lighter shades since they still haven’t done much for me, but I am definitely keeping my darker shades just so I can have a bit of fun from time to time. The texture, although completely difficult, is truly unique and amusing enough. However, application was more of a nightmare than a “dream” until I discovered the brush technique. So if any of you have already purchased the product and haven’t used a brush, I encourage you to at least give it a try. — 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful
