Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush - Review


Last week I stopped at my local Walgreen's to pick up the Maybelline Color Tattoo 24-Hour Eyeshadows and I happened upon these new Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush. I don't own a TON of blushes really since my collection consist of mainly eye products but I thought the shades looked pretty so I grabbed two of them.

They had these blushes for Buy One Get One 50% Off which is why I picked up two of them, they retail there for $6.99 so I got the second for half off that.

Anyway onto the photos!

Product Details

Why You'll Love It

 

Freshest flush ever:
• Revolutionary gel formula provides a new bouncy texture.
• Lightweight like a powder, yet melts seamlessly into skin like a cream
• Natural sheer wash of color that is buildable for greater color intensity
• Dermatologist tested, Allergy tested
• Non comedogenic

For Best Results

 

With your fingertips, blend a small amount of blush onto the apples of your cheeks, applying from your cheekbones to your temples. To build color intensity, apply more blush.

Price:  $6.99 at Walgreen's, may vary at different locations/stores. Seems to be on par with other drugstore brands. (The display picture I took was from a different store though)

Pros:  I found this is very lightweight feeling, it is buildable, it does seem to melt seamlessly when I apply it. It also doesn't bother my sensitive skin, ome people have said it's not very bendable but I personally had no issues with this.

Cons: Honestly I found no con for this blush, I really love how it feels and looks on my skin. I have heard that the pigmentation may not be enough for darker skin tones though, I personally can not put this as a con because I haven't been able to test that aspect out. They have 10 different shades of these ranging from pink, coral, to brown tones.

Would I purchase again?:  Absolutely!! I love these blushes, the way it feels on my skin and shades I picked up look great on my pale skin as well. I plan on trying to purchase the others when I can talk the husband into letting me splurge.

You and another blogger (Painted Ladies) were the only positive reviewers of this product. So, I bought "Hot Tamale" and have been very happily impressed despite the fact I don't normally care to use cream blushes. Good color payoff, lasted all day, and looking forward to trying another 1 or 2 other colors :) Thanks!
