No Makeup Blush Balm

Unique product for rouge.

So I decided to try this on a whim after seeing all of the positive reviews. I will say it works well! It’s pigmented nicely and doesn’t make my 40 year old skin look overly shiny and wrinkly like some products do. Goes on really nicely then allows you to smooth it with a brush. No complaints and very glad I read the reviews. It’s not easy the older you get to find products that do what they say without making you look older. Will buy again!

This pretty rose-pink product is an easy-blending, pigmented, smooth, soft product on a retractable stick. It is a natural formula with moisturizing ingredients like Vitamin C Ester, Ceramides, and Camellia Flower Seed Oil. I saw another similar product, but moisturizing, by Dr. Perricone, which only cost two dollars more than this item. It is a similar shade, a bit less bright. At least, that is how it looks to me in the photo on this product page, where there is a comparison list of other items from Dr. Perricone's brand. Two dollars extra would be worth the money since we baby boomers might see some sun damage areas, which can be dry. You might not know you have it. Try adding some moisturizer over your foundation before applying it. Also, try a night cream, and make sure you use a gently moisturizing cleanser in the morning and at night. I have seen this before, and funny enough, in a product of aging skin, and it was a small tube for around a hundred. This is a lovely product in a retractable magnetic case that is handy and easy to use at home and on travel. The whole package is very gift-worthy! I would love to get some of—their goodies. This can be removed with a makeup cleanser. This is pigmented, so the issues need more moisture—this will come off. Enjoy!

I have been using the same blush for years and am no longer able to purchase. I am pleased how easy it was to apply and blend in. So happy to find something to replace my old blush.

Applies easily and it’s housed conveniently. Yet it’s a bit too intense of a color as I am fair skinned. I only use a tiny amount as a result. I like Perricone products generally but it would be nice if there were more color options.

What a lovely balm for a rosy blush that lasts! A little bit goes a long way; at first I swiped on too much and recoiled at my clown cheeks, then learned to apply a bit at a time, building up a little if needed. I blend it with my finger, and finish with a brush, but I don't think that second step is necessarily needed. As far as I can tell, it only comes in the one tint, but I think it would work for any skin type – just depends on how much you dot on. The brand is well known for clean skin care/cosmetics, so I already trusted that it would be a good product, and it is. The big "aha" moment for me is how compact it is – the size of a lipstick with a screw-close top, making it fabulous for travel, or for just tucking into a small pouch for work. I've been looking for something like this: so glad I found it. Price point seems to fluctuate in discounts from the suggested retail, so there's that to consider, but no matter what, well worth it.

I like this; subtle color which is what I was looking for.

I’m pleasantly surprised by how natural this blush looks, especially because it is so vibrant at first glance. I’ll admit, I was a tad concerned by how rouge it appeared in the tube and I wrongly believed it would clash with my skin tone or make me look clownish with overwhelming red tone. However, I’m happy to report that it blends out into a beautiful and natural shade of pink. The blush itself is very creamy and smooth. It feels hydrating and lightweight and gives your cheeks a beautiful flushed coloring, it has a small sheen to it which gives your skin a nice, subtle glow and doesn’t feel sticky in the least. I also like the packaging, the little medicine stamp on the tip of the blush stick is a cute little detail, as is the appearance of a lipstick instead of a traditional cream blush tube. It’s a great cream blush for those days you’re in a rush and just need to add some color to your face and the lightest bit of makeup, it blends easily with my fingers and doesn’t look streaky or blotchy.
