I am a beauty product addict, and have a lot of expensive mistakes in my make up bag - but i have just discovered max factor miracle cream blush ooooh its fab - i used to wear nars orgasm but this is better, gives you creamy cheeks with fab colour and that sort of " i eat blueberries for breakfast look" makes you look so healthy with a dewy cheek think Jenifer Aniston- you can see how excited I am just noticed no full stops :)

Will keep an eye out for it - thanks!

nomoreminibreaks · 09/06/2012 14:32

Should have said - which shade did you get and what's your colouring like?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 09/06/2012 15:24

I've got this in a sort of dolly pink. It's nice (deffo nicer than orgasm which is too sparkly) but not as nice as Benetint. :)

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 09/06/2012 15:25

Apologies for serious over-use of the word, 'nice' in that post - it is nice though!

LaVitaBellissima · 09/06/2012 15:27

I clicked on this thinking you'd say Nars Orgasm! so pleased to see a cheaper alternative, will check it out Smile

Tis fab isn't it!

nomoreminibreaks · 09/06/2012 20:28

donot we have the exact same colouring! It's on my shopping list Smile

KenDoddsDadsDog · 09/06/2012 20:29

Must try it. The mac one I use has changed recipe and it's not as good.

Pinot · 09/06/2012 20:32

I used to love Benetint but I can't get on with it with my much-loved-and-adored mineral foundation.

I'll search for this though, thanks :)

Which shade is better than Orgasm?

^ weird sentence

Pinot · 09/06/2012 20:33

Link to shades here

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 09/06/2012 20:44

The one I've got is Soft Candy - it's bright pink in the pot but fine on.

Pinot - which mineral foundation are you using? I used to use Benetint with Bare Minerals and twas fine (can't afford Bare Minerals now though - sob).

Pinot · 09/06/2012 20:52

LilyLolo is my fave Minerals - better than BM and half the price I just cant get it to stain smoothly - it goes patchy over it. I've passed my BM ones on to a MNer so cant even check it's a LL issue.

I think the more neon the blusher colour, the healthier it looks on your cheeks, as a rule. Soft Candy sounds like my sort of colour :)

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 09/06/2012 20:55

Thanks Pinot. Is that available in real live shops or only over the internet? I am deadly pale so quite hard to get a match. Loved my Bare Minerals but just can't justify shelling out nearly fifty quid again.

Pinot · 09/06/2012 21:04

Only online I think - FeelUnique do free delivery though. I'm super pale too and they do a lovely selection of pale shades - you'll be spoilt for choice. I can use either Blondie or CandyCane, which has a slight pink undertone. If you're on Facebook, their page has v good staff to answer queries, normally fast and accurate. They do tester pots for £1.29 (maybe only from their own website - not sure if FeelUnique do testers?) which last 2 weeks. Honestly, better than BM.

TheCountessOlenska · 09/06/2012 21:11

Oooh thanks! Was about to buy Nars Orgasm.

kaumana · 09/06/2012 22:13

Soft pink works for me ,I'm blonde with blue eyes and pale complexion and it gives me a healthy look.

Liveinthepresent · 09/06/2012 22:50

Just replaced Nars orgasm - will make note of cheaper / better alternative for next time! :)

TheGruffalosbitch · 09/06/2012 23:26

A fantastic dupe for Nars orgasm is sleek rose gold

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 09/06/2012 23:43

Thanks again, Pinot.

Krumbum · 10/06/2012 00:50

Pinot, I found it doesn't work on top so I started to with the benetint use it first on bare skin, let it dry and use mineral foundation on top. The colour peeks through and looks really natural.

RockChick1984 · 10/06/2012 08:09

Ok, stupid question, but where abouts do you use cream blush? Is it all the way along top of cheekbones, or just the round part near your nose?

Also, what do you use to apply it, I currently use powder so just a big fat brush works at the moment Grin

knitknack · 10/06/2012 08:22

I'm the same re products and I totally agree. Also Barbara daly's tesco one is just as good!

knitknack · 10/06/2012 08:23

Rock I use either fingers or a foundation brush, pop it on the apples of my cheeks and blend out a bit so it looks natural.

StrawberrytallCAKE · 10/06/2012 08:25

I used to use Nars orgasm and still do sometimes but daily I have started to wear a pink cream blush from mac called Florida. Totally agree it instantly makes me look healthy and I have the same colourings as you. Will look out for the max factor version!!
