So I bought my first Cream contour kit by Anastasia, I've used it twice but it is SUPER dry, I apply it with a MAC 190 paddle foundation brush to my highlight zones, which it goes on well, but blending it out is so hard, even with w damp BB, I tried adding oil and that helps, but that seems to make it lose some of its coverage, what can I do about the dryness? I don't have the time to spend 15 mins just to blend!! Also I'm thinking about mixing two of the colors, how should I go about that? I don't want to ruin the colors. Thanks!!

Have you tried warming it up on your hand first and then applying it? With cream products I like to scoop out a bit with a make up spatula and warm it up by rubbing it in circles to make it more malleable. Then I'll apply it and blend it in right away. You can do this with the colors you want to mix.
I'm not the biggest fan of Anastasia's face products. I've tried the stick foundation and it dried quickly as well which meant you have to work in small sections.

Try adding a few drops of a face oil.

I bought my ABH cream contour almost a year ago and I barely ever find myself reaching for it, there really are better quality and more bendable cream contour products. Use a hair dryer on it for a good 45 seconds to warm it up, work a SMALL amount of your oil on to a flat top kabuki or stipple brush, and blend. A "moisturized" and densely packed face brush is going to work better than a damp beauty blender, the oil with the product and water will just separate and will be of no help.
As for mixing colors, I agree with Kitty! Scooping out some with makeup spatula (alternatively a plastic butter knife - lol) and mixing them on the hand would work best. Run the hair dryer over the back of your hand as well.
