   I don’t know what in blue blazes I was waiting for to try this! It is a stunning, flattering, natural, lit-from-within shade!

   I think many skin tones could wear this, but probably most flattering for light to light/medium skin tones, although I am currently quite tanned, and it is very flattering and natural looking on me. Definitely ‘shows up’ yet is very natural and imo flattering. I will suggest, if you order this, I would suggest to order this from QVC, as it comes with a fabulous angled brush when (currently) ordered from QVC….Great deal! The brush alone is worth the price of admission, add in the fabulous blush, and get out of town!!

   But all that aside, application-and wear time is what matters most in my book. And for me, this wears beautifully. A flattering coral/peachy/pink, kind of a hard to describe the exact shade. Is it pinky-peach, or is it peachy-pink..? I think that depends on the skin tone and person wearing it. In the pan, it has some glitter and sparkle, but that does not really show up on the face too much. Kind of reminds me of an “improved” version of Nars Orgasm, minus the glitter. To me, this is actually what Nars Orgasm should be, or what I hoped Nars would have been (I bought Nars Orgasm years ago when it was hyped, but I never really used the Nars one, just never really worked for me and disappeared fast on me.). In my opinion, in fact, this shade is quite similar to Nars Orgasm, but for me, much better application. Also, like Nars Orgasm, this has the smooth matte black compact (although this is round), so I could see it possibly getting dirty easily, but somehow, for me, this has not gotten dirty, whereas I have to be really careful with Nars compacts to not get them dirty.

   Those who say one light tap is all you need with this, are correct. Blends flawlessly and easily into the skin. On days where I do not want to do ‘full makeup,’ I often reach for this and apply it to my cheeks, and maybe even then sweep it across my forehead and brow/eyelid area for just a quick wash of color, making me look ‘awake’ and somewhat pulled together. Just such a great addition to my makeup bag, all-around! Did I mention how much I love the brush, as well..? 😉

   I get no irritation from this, and for me, I get a good bare minimum 8 hours wear out of this (even in the Summer with heat and humidity), possibly even 12 hours or more in the cooler months (will update). Definitely lasts pretty much all day for me. Does not turn funny or funky colors as the day wears on.

   Maybe the angled brush that comes with it works some kind of magic..? I don’t know, but I am very pleased with this and would definitely repurchase! The compact itself is sleek and small, which I actually appreciate. Will be great to travel with, and possibly the only blush I will take to travel with, as it goes with so many shades and looks and is just so versatile. Can go from day to night with this shade. Would repurchase and would definitely recommend!!

   A gorgeous color that straddles the line between warm and cool, a coral. And true you only need a tap of your brush and then apply and you will have enough blush on your face. So even though pricey it will be awhile before I have to replace. I also bought the rose and apple and both are as concentrated and lovely. Stay all day. Worth seeking out.

   I got this just a few days ago but yep, I love it. I had read lots of reviews so I knew to use lightly. Really, just a tap (a tap, not a swirl) of your brush on the blush and you’ve got plenty. It stays on from morning until time to take it off at bedtime and gives a soft, believable flush to my skin. No clown face, no glitter, no streakiness, just a pretty flush.

   This does not settle in the fine lines around my eyes (top of my cheeks I mean, where you sweep blush up toward your temple), and my usually-sensitive skin has not broken out or shown any signs of bumps or ick. Normally, if I’m going to react, it’s within the first day or two.

   I looked at the colors carefully before I bought it. Usually I don’t do super well with peachy blushes, but this is not peach. It’s a soft pink, with just enough peach in it to keep it looking natural.

   Super stuff. The compact is smaller than you expect (although I quite like the matte black finish and the mirror in it) and it’s a tad pricey (although not over the top, really), but I suspect it will last forever.

   p.s. I got this from QVC because I wanted the awesome brush too…I am SO glad I did.

   I own this in two shades, pretty in peony and matte sweet apple. I got both from QVC and both came with the amazing brush. I love the shades, and I love the wear longevity. This stuff stays ON. It also is incredibly potent. You barely need to tap the brush in the product to get enough to apply to your face, and if you aren’t careful you end up with a ridiculously bright application, which I noticed more with the apple than the peony. But like I said, it stays on, all day. I would say an average of 18 hours!

   I absolutely love this product, and the brushes. The IT brushes are the bomb. get it from QVC though, its a killer deal.

   I purchased this from QVC after Jaime King said that this was a “last all day” blush and it would not fade. Well, let me tell you, she wasn’t kidding. I love the color of this blush “Pretty in Peony”, it’s definitely an Orgam/Super Orgasm dupe, but you need a tiny, tiny amount to get color on your cheeks. This came with a very nice blush brush that is incredibly soft and feels like a kitten’s fur. All you need do is touch the brush (don’t swirl) to the blush and gently sweep onto your cheeks. Start with very little, and build, if you feel the need to. The packaging of the blush is in a round, fliptop compact with a mirror inside the case.

   However, with the first application I knew I had put to much on. This will take practice until you find the right level of color for your skin tone. But it does what it promises and lasts all day. I can put this on @ 7:00 am and still see it when I get home @ 5:00pm.

   With needing to use so very little, I can see this blush lasting a very long time. The total cost w/ S & H and tax came to $41.82, and they offered E Z Pay. With a blush and brush, that breaks down to $20.91 per piece for blush and brush. A fairly good value IMO.

   FROM THE QVC Website Description: Why is it different: Vitality Cheek Flush takes the place of your powder blush, cheek stain, antioxidant defense, and hydrating skin conditioner all in one innovative technology! The cutting-edge micro-milled, long-wear powder stain is also talc-free, so it never clings to fine lines and wrinkles. Plus, it gives you that glow of a stain!

   How do I use it: Using the included Luxe French Boutique Blush Brush, lightly dust over the apples of your cheeks using light, upward, sweeping motions. Just the lightest touch of this blush provides a gorgeous flush of color that lasts. For more intense color, apply a second dusting of blush. If you over apply, dust a bit of foundation or finishing powder over the top to soften.
