I have pink plum and hot tamale. Pink plum is a little sheer but gives me a natural pink color to my cheeks. Hot tamale is pretty pigmented IMO I got a few good hours out of it. I actually like them
I have been wanting to try this blush out I even saw it at a walgreens but wasn't too sure about it. I have heard mixed things about it and the only one that interested me was this really bright corally one
I think they're mostly gimmick - I just tried one in "Orchid Hush" and there is barely any color payoff. the texture is nice though...i guess it makes a better stress reliever than blush, ha!
now that i'm actually seeing videos, i'm seeing they aren't pigmented at all! i don't own one, i just saw swatches from one of my fav bloggers & they looked super pigmented. sadly, that's not the case
Final opinion....they apply great on my skin when I'm void of any other make-up on my face such as primer/foundation and powder. When applied on bare skin application was noticeable on my skin and it didn't involve much product. Since I enjoy wearing a smooth canvas that foundation and powder provide these are a miss for me because they lack pigmentation when all three are used together. This is definitely a miss for me since I love having a smooth canvas that foundation and powder provides. What a bummer. :(
I have 2 of them. I like the texture and finish of them but the pigmentation isn't that great. I really have to build them up to be able to see them and they aren't very long lasting on my oily skin. I think they would be great if your skin is normal to dry, and if your looking for a blush that gives you more of a tint of color.
I love it. I like that, on days when i'm not in the mood for much makeup, I can put this on without having to use much "caution", and yet it is completely buildable for a more dramatic look.
@Isabella I've only tried 2 kinds of stippling brushes, 1 from elf's studio line which is the one I personally use to apply mine and I have a Sigma 1 that I use for my foundation.
Ok, I wore Hot Tamale yesterday. I used my fingers to blend it in and it gave me a nice little glow but after three hours of wear I faintly saw it on my face. I was even wearing a primer. I'm not ready to call it a miss just yet...but I definitely liked the pop of color it brought to my face. The testing continues.lol
I am hearing from some fellow makeup junkies that its a no-go but I have to buy it for myself, at least one to see how it is. I am anxious to pick up on this week but from the color selection that I am seeing only a few colors would work for my complexion
@angela s. i only have one stippling brush and its the eco tools stippling brush and i'm pretty sure its only for powder... I'm saving up for a good stippling brush. Do you recommend one?
@Isabella H. on your comment about NYX only having mainly bright cream blushes I totally agree. But they actually have 13 different shades amazingly. I dont know if its like this at every store who carrys them but they only carry like 5 shades and they are all bright which is a bummer. At http://www.cherryculture.com though they have all 13 shades and there are darker ones and there also a dollar cheaper too. And have you ever tried applying them with a stippling brush? I find that works best for me personally cuz it still applys enough to get a good color but it doesnt apply too much to where it gives a cakiness effect.
@Terra M. is the Hot Tamale the darkest shade in the collection? I saw these in Target a few weeks ago but I was in a rush so I didn't pick it up. I have to watch Maybelline blush because often times it doesn't show up on my skintone.
I got Hot Tamale I like the color, it seems pigmented enough for me:) And yeah I apply mine with my fingers! I also keep wanting to play with it and squish it >.<
I just bought one today. It's really interesting feeling. I agree with Samantha G that its not so much bouncy as foamy, or squishy. I kinda just want to play with it. They don't seem super pigmented to be honest. I got Coral Candy and its super bright in the pan, but kinda dull on the skin. also, this is definitely a product to put on with your fingers, I'm not sure how a brush would even pick this up.
I agree Andrea they do seem like a new strange gimmicky kind of thing....I don't know what the purpose of them being bouncy is, or how they get them that way but the product itself doesn't seem out of the normal:)
@samantha I have two blushes so I have to use it but the nyx blushes are all mostly bright so that's downside too along with the cakiness and I'm pretty tan!
@venessa where I live they aren't discontinued yet but they are on sale for clearance to make room for the bouncy blushes. so I'd stock up now! I find them shimmery so I don't like them but I like th texture.

I like mine because it gives just a little color on my cheeks. I probably won't use it much now but during the summer I'm sure I will use it a lot.

@terra its the texture of the blush.. its not necessarily bouncy; its more like memory foam mattress feeling lol its odd

They look like the biggest freaking gimmicks on the planet, but I want one just for that reason. XD
