Would I repurchase: Yes!!

I got this in Peach Satin from a friend that lives in the USA (we don't have that in Greece yet!) and I LOVE IT!!It's a shimmery (but without being clawn-ish) blush in soft mousse form and with another powder blush or some translucent loose powder on top it lasts all day!It actually dries to a powder-like thing!

I put Milani Luminous on top of Peach Satin and it lasted pretty well for 7 hours,even on my oily skin! (I don't know if it lasts beyond 7 hours,because I took off my makeup at 7 hours!)

The packaging is cute,but it's made out of glass,so be careful with it!!I know sticking your fingers in the pot isn't very good for hygiene,but I can't think of any other type of packaging they could put such a product in and apart from that the packaging is cute!!!

There are 6 shades to choose from: pink frosting,peach satin,soft plum (these are for fairer ladies) whipped strawberries,cloud wine,coffee cake (these are for medium to dark skin color ladies)

Their price varies from $5.99 to $7.29,depending on the store!

GOOOOOOOO GET THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i loveee this blush. I have it in peach satin and want to get in in the other colors. it's so pretty and blendable. The texture is silky and the color is light and shimmery...but not fake shimmery..more like glowing shimmery. you only need a tiny bit, so the small pot will last a long time. ah, it's one of my favorite (if not my favorite) blushes.

Would I repurchase: Yep.

I have peach satin and I absolutely adore it. In the summer when I'm not into wearing a ton of makeup, this provides the perfect hint of color and glow. In the winter, it makes the best base ever. I put it on over foundation and then just put some translucent powder over it before using powder blush and the color stays true all day.

I have the plum color, and I love it. I like how it goes on so smooth, it is also good to layer a powder blush over top of it.

This is quite possibly my all-time favorite blush. I bought this in 'whipped strawberries' which is one of the darker shades, since I like my blush to show up fairly dark on my pale skin. It goes on nice and smooth and looks great, even if my skin's in not-so-hot condition. It's a cream-to-powder finish, so it doesn't melt off my skin like cream products do, and it stays on all day. (I usually apply some over foundation or on plain skin and then a bit more over my powder.) The best thing is that I use this maybe 5 times a week (whenever I wear makeup) and the small pot has lasted for months and months. I don't think I'll have to buy another pot until next year, and I bought this product (I believe) shortly after it came out. The best thing is, you can totally control the intensity. A small amount and a lot of rubbing/blending gives you a nice glow without signs that you're wearing blush, while a bit more product shows that you're wearing blush (but if you rub it in well, it still looks natural). And my favorite part is that you can let it dry to a powder and still blend it in if need be.
All in all, my favorite blush. Perhaps my favorite (and easiest) part of doing my MU each morning. Makes me look like less of a zombie.

I got this in Peach Satin and I could barely see it I'm a NC25, but when I put some on my friend who is a NC15 it gave her such a pretty pinkish blush, it does blend really well though and I'll try some other shades before giving up on them

i got this in a swap as an extra, and i actually really liked this product. i was scared at first, because i heard bad things about the dream mousse foundation... but the blush is great. buildable color and it stays put... a lot better than my mac msf's, even. i have the plum one, but now i'm looking to try out more shades.

i purchased this product in the cloud wine color, i am a fairly pale girl and i love how well this blush blends. you can control how dark you'd like the color and it stays pretty well.

personally i did not like the sparkles that much but overall i was impressed.

I've only got Dolly Pink [UK..not sure if they have it elsewhere] and it goes on lovely, easy to blend and doesn't need alot applied. But I felt that sometimes, it felt too greasy [in a way] on my skin.

Comments: I had bought the Peach Satin and Coffee Cake shades, but I didn't like the formulation after a while. I found that it was too powdery when it dried, IMO. I never really liked how it set.

I bought this in Soft Plum and it's great. It blends well and looks natural, and it stays on till the end of the day as long as I set it with some sheer powder. I usually layer it over with a matching powder blush.

The packaging could use some work, though. It's heavy and bulky. And I have to dig out a little bit of product with a spatula each time, which can get messy.

I purchased this product in "Coffee Cake" and love it. It's a great alternative bronzer to use and I love how it shimmers

Great buy!

Comments: I had the shade called "Dollypink" in the UK and found it a lovely little blush, blendable, buildable, nice consistency, slight subtle shimmer, beautiful colour, very wearable. I used the whole pot up; I'm a great fan of cream blush (I use Studio Fix powder NW25 as my foundation, I think cream blush is a good idea with this to soften the finish) and I'm currently on a MAC cheek hue (they are LOVE!!!!) for every day wear.... but when I use that up, I'll probably go back and get another Maybelline Dream Mousse blush if I don't find something better meantime.

Downsides: the pot is pretty, but boy is it clunky to carry in your handbag.... which you'll need to, as the BIG downside with this blush is that it fades badly during the day (at least on my oily skin) and needs retouched. I don't mind retouching lipstick or eye makeup, but having to redo BLUSH is pretty darn annoying.

I love this stuff in a pinch--I can just use my fingers, whip it on, and get out the door. Though it has never broken me out directly, I worry that it might, because it's a bit thick and has shimmer. I don't like paying almost $7 for drugstore blush because... well, I'm cheap, what can I say. I may buy again if there's a sale, but none of the colors jump out and appeal to me.

I bought it in Whipped Strawberries. In the container it's kind of intimidating, it's a harsh pink, but on it's amazing. I'm pale, so it gave me a really pretty flushed look. A little goes a long way, and it blends nicely.

Comments: although I love almost everything about this blush (I have pink frosting, and sating peach) I wish that there was a different way to apply it than with one's fingers. Also because I'm in Canada (and they price gauge us even though our dollar is worth more than the US right now) I get to pay around ten dollars for it, which is a little pricy for drug store blush.

I got Whipped Strawberries at Walmart, and I do like the cream-to powder thing, but it doesn't last at all on my oily skin . Even when I had powder under it, it still wiped off pretty easily for me. I think this color was a little too pink for my skin, which isn't the product's fault, it was mine in not knowing which color to get. Nevertheless, i couldn't blend it as well as I can with a powder blush. Maybe I just have poor blending skills (most likely yes) and do not know how to apply this product to make most of what it has to offer. Despite those complaints, this product really isn't that horrible, honestly. It just doesn't fit my preference. The only main real complaint is the staying power.

And I think they could have done a better job with the glass pot. They make it so chubby. I really don't think they need that thick of glass to hold that amount of blush. They can trim down on the glass to a smaller size to reduce weight of the product in your bag and also give your bag more space.

I am a NW25 with dry skin. What color would you suggest? Is there a "trick" to putting it on? Thanks

General Comments on this product: I could not find a single colour to suit me, however I did get it for under $5 so it was a cheap mistake. It looked so wrong on me, it clogged my pores and helped me breakout (along with the maybelline matte mousse foundi). It does show up well though and might be a good if I could find a better colour.

The blush can be applied with a various sponges, brushes, and of course fingers.
