NYX Cream Blush in Rose Petal

From the Company:
More delicious than peaches and cream? We like to think so. Our velvety smooth mineral Rouge Cream Blush offers a sheer wash of radiant color. The glorious payoff is dewy, sultry and long-lasting. Available in 12 shades.

Since I have very dry skin due to this cold weather, I needed something in my makeup routine to make my skin dewy and glowy. The blush formula is amazing and does just that. Rose petal is a beautiful pink with no shimmer. The color is quite pigmented, so I apply it with my MAC 188 duo fibre brush but slightly getting the tiniest bit of product and blend it out on my cheeks. While there are many high end cream blushes out there, I would start off with something like this NYX blush, being so affordable and amazing quality.

One creamy oil, infinite possibilities. This makeup-artist must-have delivers all the moisturizing benefits of argan oil in a portable, nongreasy, creamy oil form. The innovative formula starts as a cream and melts into an oil, making your complexion more luminous while tightening facial contours and preventing inflammation. Use it to hydrate and gently soothe undereyes, smooth flyaways, keep eyebrows in place, and condition lips. Mix it with powder blush or eye shadow to instantly transform it into a cream. 65ml 2.2 fl oz

This product is designed to be a multitasking moisturizer. Right off from the side of the packaging, it states: One cream, infinite possibilities. To sum it all up, this can be used on the face, sooth irritated skin, over dry lips, keep stray eyebrows in place, smooth flyaways, etc.
This can also be handy when applying makeup by transforming powder eye shadow into a cream formula.
It comes out as a cream and blends in like oil. I personally use this as a night time moisturizer and with whatever is left over, I apply it on my hands. This also works as a great moisturizer for the under eyes, as I noticed some dryness in that area during this winter time. This is my first product from the Josie Maran line, and I am very impressed!
