Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush Review- Fresh Pink

I've been dying to review the new Dream Bouncy blushes from Maybelline.  I picked one up last week in #05 Fresh Pink, and have been using it ever since.

These are different than anything I've seen in the drugstore to date.  They are not quite a cream, and not quite a powder.  They have a clay or putty-like texture, and when applied, they have a soft powdery finish.  To apply it, you have to just sweep your finger over the product and smooth it into cheeks, like you would a cream blush.

If you look closely, you can see how there are dents in the product from where I used my fingers- it almost feels like Silly Putty- it's really cool!

The colors look dark in the pot, but the effect on skin is very soft and pretty.  In fact, I tried to make a swatch on my hand, but the camera wasn't picking it up well, so I went with a picture of my cheek area to show the true effect.  It's very subtle, and doesn't dry fast like a cream blush does, so you have time to blend.  It's also build-able if you want it to be a bit darker.  It's just a very soft, natural flush.

What do you guys think of this new blush?  


Beauty Tip:  For a pretty, natural flush, apply blush to the apples of the cheeks and blend slightly upward and back toward your ear.
