I've been in a bit of a blush craze lately. Recently, I went out and purchased Sephora's cream blushes in Apricot Sheen and Coral Flush that were on clearance for $7 (previously $16). I intended to get Golden Spice, but I couldn't find it and settled on Apricot Sheen, which is gorgeous as well.
Sephora calls these Double Contouring Cream Blushes, but the colors are way too warm to be used as contouring. In any case, the colors are gorgeous and the texture is unique and easy to use.
Coral Flush (left) is a peachy golden color with hints of shimmer. I've heard a lot of people compare it to Nars Orgasm, but I haven't compared the two so I don't know. The color is so rich and beautiful, especially when the sun hits it just right. Apricot sheen is a little more muted, but really great for neutral makeup days. It has hints of orange and brown, but it looks like a natural flush when blended out.

Overall, I'm kind of obsessed with these blushes. The texture is interesting and the colors are phenomenal. These two colors are out of stock online, though may be available in the sales section at Sephora stores. If not, the remaining color selection online is just as gorgeous.
5/5
