I’m a huge fan of NYX cream and powder blush. I have several shades in both formulas but this is my very first NYX HD Studio Grinding Blush ($15). As you can see, they are pretty pricey when compared to their other blush formulas. However, I got English Rose in a NYX set on HauteLook a few months ago and am now just getting around to trying it out.
There are a total of 8 blush shades available:
- American Girl
- Apricot
- English Rose
- Georgia Peach
- Menage A Trois
- Nutmeg
- Sangria In Madrid
- Terra Cotta

I recently picked up two shades of the NYX Cream Blush ($5.99) at Ulta; Glow and Natural. Glow is a medium pink with a mauve tone to it while Natural is just a light pink shade. There is a total of 12 shades to choose from in all.
These cream blushers are very moist and almost wet to the touch. They apply easily with just your fingertips or a small stippling brush. Use a little to start out with though cause they are very pigmented. A little goes a long way but you can easily build up as many layers of color as you’d like.

I chose four to try out:
- Peaches and Cream
- Apple Strudel
- Strawberry Parfait
- Vanilla Cream Pie
