Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush

So the first time I tried this blush out I fell in love. I then slowly but surely bought all of their shades. I find these to blend really easily and they look super natural as well. The way I use them is to use a damp sponge and just bounce it around until you get the desired colour

I was very skeptical when I heard about this blush and the name "bouncy",I bought the blush and it comes in a round container with a clear lid,the product I pushed with my fingers and it bounced back like a sponge.i dabbed the end of my damp beauty blender into the product then dabbed it along my cheekbone,it was very pigmented and creamy ,easy to blend into my skin,the colour was a nice rose colour and I will wear it again and have so since I first bought it,it is light on the skin ,so you hardly know it's there,

I had real trouble with this when I first bought it and tried to apply it with my fingers. I find that the application is a lot easier with a brush, I use my real techniques stippling brush. I still am having trouble with this though, as I always seem to get too much pigment and come off looking a bit like a clown even when using the tiniest amount on product.

I bought this in the shade peach satin as an impulse buy. It looked really cool instore, loved the shade and the idea of creamy blush rather than traditional powder blush intrigued me. The colour and pigmentation are all 8/10. Adorably sweet, orangy pink that's not too sheer. The texture of this is definitely a big hit, it's creamy and so soft and smooth. I love pressing my finger prints into it haha :) Application is super easy, I just use my fingers to gently dab it and spread it over my cheeks. I prefer this formula over powder brush, partially because it feels so smooth when I'm wearing it. The staying power is alright and lasts about half a day if I'm not sweating.

I have this product in two colours, 45 Orchid Hush and 60 Coffee Cake. I picked them up from a bucket make-up sale a long time ago. Orchid Hush is a lovely light purple-y pink and Coffee Cake is a dark orange-y colour. I think the main reason that I bought these was for the gimmick factor of them being 'bouncy'.

The packaging itself is very simple. Just a small compact with a clear lid so you can see the blush underneath, great for knowing what colour it is.

The blush itself is exactly what it says it is - bouncy. It feels like a sort of mousse texture that bounces back after you press it down. Very strange, but kind of cool. I have been using these with my fingers to pick up the colour and swipe onto my cheeks. The product itself doesn't seem particularly pigmented and is hard to build up on my cheeks. In saying that I kind of like that as I find cream blush kind of challenging to apply (because this was my first try with them). I find with these that if I apply in the morning before work they are usually completely gone by lunch time... fine if you don't mind reapplying I guess. Given how long I have had these I'm surprised they haven't dried out yet.

Overall I find I don't reach for these very often as I find them a bit more fiddly to apply and would rather go with a powder.

I have this in the shade 'Pink Frosting'. I love everything about the packaging, colour, and feel of this blush - you can literally bounce it around and squish it under your finger, it's so crazy. I would either apply this by using my fingers, then a brush to blend it out, or by running a brush around it and putting it straight to my cheeks. The colour always looked really nice and natural and I loved how well it blended...maybe I did something wrong but it didn't have any staying power! A few hours later? Gone!

I love this blush, I have gotten so much use out of it pretty much using it everyday. It has a little shimmer in it but it looks very natural like a rosy flush. It is quite strongly pigmented and the compact is cute. The bouncy blush idea is fun and it gives it a nice texture that is creamy. Mine's not so bouncy anymore after using it so much haha. I found mine for really cheap (I think $8) at the ASB show grounds make up sale. :)

First of all, I purchased this product not because I had heard of it before but because I was drawn to the nifty idea of a creme style blush in a 'bouncy' compact, and I'm so glad I did!

I have the colour 'Rose petal' which is perfect for my very fair skin, it gives me a beautiful flush when I use on the apples of my cheeks. I find that this product is very creamy and very build-able, and can therefore work for a variety of different makeup looks ( and is why it is now my go-to blush!) I also find that it has a very nice highlight element to the product (maybe it's just the shade I purchased) but this is like an added bonus!

I love this blush, I've had it for a month and it has been promoted to head blusher over all my others!

I have this in candy coral, a gorgeous peachy colour. I adore peach blushes but never seem to be able to find an amazing colour. This is perfect though.

I apply it with a dense flat top synthetic brush, I dab it on top of the blush and then just stipple it into my cheeks. I find it blends really well and what is great about it, is that it is a very buildable colour. I'm very pale, so I don't do too much, but I imagine this would work amazing on darker skin tones as it can just be applied a few more times.

I find this wears very well, it does fade a little bit by the end of the day but because it's more like a cream blush, it doesn't cake on my dry skin.

I've been wanting this product for well over a year, I have seen some youtube gurus talking about it but couldn't find it over here. I got mine off trademe, new for around $8.

My only slight gripe with this product is that because it is a squishy texture (by the way I had quite a bit of fun squishing it down when I first got it - yes small things amuse me!), when I dab my brush into it, it has kind of squished over the sides and looks a bit messy now. Maybe I press too hard? But it's not a big deal, I still love it. I see that there are also bronzers that are bouncy too so this had made me really want to try them out too.
