I've seen this product highly recommended in a number of magazines, but you can't really try it on in the store. It wasn't a good thing for my face. I'm too oily. It didn't work for me.

Great product, longlasting if applied over liquid foundation and then set with a powder. The mini cheek stains(limited edition) are great to throw in your purse or bag for touchups if you want extra color during the day.
Easy to blend, and buildable color!

love it! - 11.15.09
Quick Take: natural looking

I purchased this product after reading all of the positive reviews it received. I was looking for a natural looking blush and this product delivers just that. When I first applied it I thought it was a bit too intense but after blending it with my finger it was perfect. You can also apply a couple layers of the product for greater color intensity if you prefer.

Almost perfect - 11.13.09
Quick Take: natural looking

A great replacement for the gel stick Stila used to make -- which was a better size for my cosmetic bag. Wish they'd make a bronze-ish shade.

Eco-Cheek is perfect - 11.12.09
Quick Take: luminous sheen, natural looking, must-have

I love this stain. I tried some of the other colors and some of them felt greasy and did not blend well, they rub right off. Also some of the colors have oil in them. This color is perfect for my skin tone and it does not feel greasy or sticky at all. I would recommend trying these in the stores because there are definitely differences in the formulas of the different colors. Eco-cheek is all natural and oil free, it gives a nice peachy pink glow to your cheeks with a hint of shimmer. I just put too circles on my cheeks and then blend it out with my fingers, It seems to work best with tinted moisturizer. Love it!

I heart this stuff - 11.10.09
Quick Take: luminous sheen, natural looking

I simply adore this cheek stain. I have it in the "flush" shade. It's sheer, without shimmer, and smells like fresh berries.

The thing that I love most abut this product is that it does not look like makeup at all, it absolutely imitates a natural cheek flush. I swipe it on and look instantly naturally fresh-faced and alive, even when I'm exhausted. It's perfect for when you don't want to look like you're wearing makeup but don't want to look like death.

Bottom line: naturally gorgeous.

best makeup buy ever!! - 11.10.09
Quick Take: luminous sheen, creamy, natural looking

i love love LOVE this cheekstain, i use it in my daily makeup routine. i currently only have one, eco-cheek, but i am extremely satsified with my purchase. it goes on a peachy bronze with a minimal amount of shimmer, not to much to look costumey, but just enough to make your face have a healthy glow. i really want to get either blissful or blushing bride. overall this product is an excellent addition to you makeup bag/purse.

Quick Take: luminous sheen, creamy, natural looking

I have this cheek stain in 2 colors that have since been discontinued I guess (Berrylicious and Bronze Goddess), since I don't see them on the color options, but they are my absolute staple in my daily makeup routine. I can wear the Berrylicious stain on my cheeks with nothing else on my face, and still feel like I am glowing and gorgeous!

One of my favorite products... ever - 11.09.09
Quick Take: luminous sheen, creamy

I debated on whether or not to splurge on this product for several visits. I finally bought it in Doll Face and I must say, I LOVE it. This is my favorite makeup product out there. It smells so light and sweet and it goes on just the same. The container is jam-packed with product so you're really getting your money's worth and even with normal through heavy application for the span of two months, I haven't even made a dent in this!
The product itself is a little sticky so a little blush or illuminating powder helps to matte it :)

Natural look - 11.09.09
Quick Take: natural looking

Love this stuff. Good value, the one tube will last a long time. A little runny when you 1st open it, you should wipe away all the liquidy stuff. Easy to apply, lasts well through the day, smells nice. Stays a little sticky on the cheeks for about 15 minutes. Nice winter flushed color.
