I am the newest member of the cream blush — specifically of Lancôme Color Design Blush — bandwagon.  I have this in Prêt a Plum, and I am dying to get my hands on more colours from this line.

It was actually an unforeseen gem from some blushes I received from a fellow blogger (you know who you are!).  Before I tried it, I had no intentions of ever buying cream blushes fearing that they will:

  1. be sticky,
  2. be difficult to blend, and
  3. melt off my face.

Luckily for me, Lancôme Color Design Blush is none of the above.

Swatches of Prêt a Plum

Lancôme really hit the nail on the head on the cream blush texture.  The blush is a deliciously smooth cream-to-powder formula that is idiot-proof.  It has a very slight dewy finish, so it looks like your skin, only blushing. ;)  It has great staying power when worn on its own, but my favourite way to wear it is layered under a complementing powder blush.  Even on my oily skin, the colour on my cheeks lasts all day.  Can you imagine?  A blush that lasts through the greasies and sweat, and does not rub off on my iPhone?  Pretty impressive, no?

I decided to Google reviews of this product and it only returned a handful of results.  I’m really surprised that this doesn’t get more love from beauty blogs, because it is the best cheek product I have come across.  I have no complaints about this blush.  Oh, actually I do have one: I don’t own all the colours.  Love this.  Rating: A+.
