Sorry that the blush doesn't look picture perfect. I had to try this blush instantly when I bought it. Often times, picture taking comes second, lol. I don't mind that you see the blush in this messy state. In fact, it's important that you see this side of the product. The name of the blush will lead you to believe that once you touch it, it will bounce back into its dome shape. Not so much. It moves around like play dough. It doesn't keep neatly in its pot.
Swipe on the finger.
I was hoping the picture would show you that I didn't pick up a lot of product on this finger after one full swipe.
Left, one swipe; right, heavy swatch
Overall, the product behavior in the pan didn't turn me away from this product. I love this blush! Lately, I've been doing the less is more look and this falls right into the scheme of things. I nice little glow on my cheeks, not an oily glow, but a polished makeup glow. This product also has the teensiest bit of shimmer, but barely noticeable.
Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush, $7-8
Do you have one of these blushes? Which is your favorite color?

can't wait to hear what you think of these blushes!
Wow, I saw a whole display of these at RiteAid yesterday and I was so tempted to buy one. But I hate how it looks! I don't know...might try it, might not. Thanks for the review Kia!
i don't have any....YET! lol this color looks nice might be a bit too light for me though. i've heard great things about the other colors, but i really don't need another blush. lol
I LOVE the way these looks but yeah, they are just so weird. It took me forever to figure out what kind of brush to use. I ended up with a skunk brush but still...it didn't last long. And mine looks all deflated too. Oh boo.
These blushes are so sheer but leave that beautiful glow :)

Thanks for reviewing it. It looks interesting. The "Coffee Cake" shade looks brown in your picture, but if it's a rosy brown shade like you said it is, then that's the shade I want to try.
@ blaq vixen beauty: if you try it, i hope you like it!
@ joanee: i'm pretty fond of this because i've been doing a barely there makeup looks lately and this fits the bill. i love the day glow flush i get from this blush. if you want more from a blush, you can skip this one.
@ B: i like the application with my fingers, but would prefer a brush. i wanted my blush to bounce back =( lol
@ boho vanity: i agree!
@ boston red lox: well... i think it will depend on your coloring. if you are lighter than me, it may show more brown. on me, (nc42-44 in mac speak) it shows a rosey/peachy cheek.
i keep looking at these debating... :>) like i need any more product! how do you think this would apply with a sponge--color a little denser perhaps?
Too bad can't buy it in Holland.
Makes me sad because im dying to try one.
Also in Germany there are none.
Nice color!
Love it :)
I'm so glad I found your post! I just bought the Coffee Cake blush on sale on Target but wasn't sure with my skin tone (about NC40 in MAC talk lol) if it would show up nicely. Now I can't wait to try it out!!
