IT Cosmetics Magical in Mauve Vitality Cheek Stain Review, Photos, Swatches Reviews Contains: Affiliate Links, Purchased 11/24/14November 24, 2014 IT Cosmetics Magical in Mauve Vitality Cheek StainIT Cosmetics Magical in Mauve Vitality Cheek Stain ($24.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a rich, brightened, berry-purple with cool undertones and a soft, frosted finish. Kevyn Aucoin Neolita (P, $37.00) is warmer. MAC Hot Nights (LE, $21.00) is similar. NARS Oasis (P, $29.00) is more muted, warmer. MAC Restores Dazzle (LE, $21.00) is a cream product. See comparison swatches / view dupes. It’s intensely pigmented–a little goes such a long way! If you prefer a very foolproof blush, you might look elsewhere, as this requires a very feathery touch to control just how much gets applied. The powder itself has a soft, buttery, and silky consistency, so it is easy to blend out on the skin and diffuse for softer color. It’ll be a nice option for anyone who prefers a more pigmented blush that doesn’t require building to get true-to-pan color. As the blush gets blended and buffed onto the skin, it looks more luminous than shimmery with a light glow and a distinctive “stained” look, even though it is a powder. This shade wore well for ten hours before fading slightly along the edges.

Agata Light, Pink undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »This is a gorgeous shade but I am worried that even applied with a light hand it’d be too dark on me!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »It’s definitely blendable, so I think even very fair skin tones could wear it, but it needs a light hand for sure!
GinnyBeautiful! I’m a bit blushed out at the moment, though. I bought six Nars blushes during the Sephora sale o_O
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Good thing it’s permanent! 😀
Katherine T.Whoa, this is pigmented! I will have to check this one out, in a pink color, because blushes (even the long-wearing ones) have a habit of disappearing on my cheeks, but this one looks like it will stick around. On a side note, can you answer my question about the Burberry Nude Radiance Luminous Fluid – does it have any fragrance?
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Hey Katherine,I’m still getting an answer on the Burberry – that is why it is pending, because I haven’t had a moment to double check that for you yet. I should add that I’ve had a stuffed nose for the past few days, and I didn’t note any scent originally so I haven’t felt like I could give you a great answer based on my current lack of smelling ability 🙂
Katherine T.Ok, thanks! No worries, just let me know when you get the answer. I’m recovering from a cold, so I know all about stuffed noses…..hope your nose gets better soon. Thanks again
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »It is a more unique shade!
SunnyI love the shade (and it’s so pretty on you), but in all honesty I am a little intimidated by very pigmented blushes! Do you use a fan brush for something like this, Christine?
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »I usually just use a very light hand with a regular brush for me 🙂
GinaBeautiful! Have you tried other shades from the line? Thinking about to get either peoney or rose color, the mauve one is a bit dark to my skintone.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »I reviewed Pretty in Peony previously!
Jennifer Deep Dark, Yellow undertones. Oily skin. »One of my favorite blushes! I have the matte red one (can’t remember the name). I want the other two. Like I really need more blush but well ya know lol 😀 😀
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Haha! 😉 What applicator do you use with them?
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »I love how it is a more unique shade!
Gillian Fairest, Neutral undertones. Normal-to-Oily skin. »I love the colour of this but I think I’d have to be extremely careful applying this to avoid looking like a clown! I appreciate sheerer blushes simply because I don’t need to worry so much about going overboard. I love having such pale skin though so I can’t complain :P.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »I totally understand 😉
Lauryn Fairest, Pink undertones. Dry skin. »Such a gorgeous blush. I don’t have a colour like this but I love it! 🙂 x
fancie Deep Dark, Neutral, slight pink undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Very pretty! Definitely a great shade for fall/winter
Kim Medium, Pink undertones. Oily skin. »I have this blush and it is amazing on the cheeks! I use an IT Cosmetics blush brush to apply it. I bought mine as a set through QVC, and the brush is the perfect tool for this highly pigmented blush!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Happy to hear the brush works well with it!
Diana Medium-Tan, Yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »This color is gorgeous! Definitely very fall 🙂 Christine, do you think these are comparable to theBalms Instain blushes? Better, maybe? I find theBalms blushes to be a bit hard to blend sometimes.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »They seem similar, but these are denser, so they might be more blendable.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »It is a lovely shade!
BOTTÂNICA BOTTANIQUE“MAGICAL” is the perfect name for this. What a stunning, amazing and gorgeous shade! And it is uncommon as well. My collection will be enriched by it.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »It will be gorgeous on you!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Hope you can try it, April!
Mariella Fair, Pink undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »I’ve loved just about every product I’ve used from IT Cosmetics. I hope they have this blush in some sort of “showstopper” when they’re back on Canadian tv in a week or 2. This blush looks stunning on you, Christine.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Fingers crossed that they will!
Sylirael Light-Medium, Pink undertones. Combination skin. »Oof. This is stunning! O_oIt even get bonus points for its colour having something to do with mauve, LOL! For some reason when I saw the swatch, the first thing I thought was ‘this is a blush match for Revlon Icy Violet lipstick’. I actually have no idea if this is the case, but it really reminded me of that lipstick for some reason.Rambling aside – it’s beautiful on you! And we all know how I like me some pigmented blush…
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Thank you, Sylirael! 🙂
IlovemakeupI’m quite fair and I have another rosier shade of this blush. The first time I applied it, it was WAY too but the second time I used a lighter hand and shook off the extra blush from my brush before applying and it was much better for my skin tone.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Phew! Glad you were able to get it to work better the second time 🙂
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »It would be lovely on fair skin!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Hope one of the other ones will work for you!
StaceyNeed a suqqu cheek brush for this. When I bought my first Clinique brush, there was .4 oz of product. The amount gets smaller and smaller each year.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »That would work well with it!
MegOh this is really pretty! I told myself no more blush unless it was unique:) I think this counts! I was looking into their other shades, too. Do you think the Pretty in Peony you reviewed this spring would be a close dupe for MAC Supercontinental? I’ve been looking for a dupe of that shade for forever! Online, it looks like there’s a little more hot pink in the Peony?
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »It is pretty unique 🙂I think it may be more shimmery and pinker!
AlisonLove this on you. And I have Neolita so will probably not get it. But this is the right blush complement for a whole range of berry — burgundy– wine lip pies.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »It will be beautiful on you, Rashmi!
Stephanie | theFantasia Light-Medium, Yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Love love this shade! I was afraid it woul dbe too strong but the colour payoff is incredibly nice and complimentary to your skintone!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Thanks a lot, Stephanie!
Allison Fair-Light, Pink, moderately pink undertones. »Wow, what a beautiful shade! Definitely too dark/intense for me, but lovely all the same. I’ll bet I would love some of the other shades (there must be other shades), but I better not look ‘coz I just placed my IT Cosmetics order. I bought more of their fab CC cream and I finally bought a couple of their so soft brushes.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Glad you were able to take advantage of their sale!
Lucia Light-Medium, Olive undertones. Combination skin. »Ooh, this is really pretty! I’ve been cataloguing purple blushes, and this is one I hadn’t come across before.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »It is really lovely — especially if you love pigmented blushes!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Thanks for the suggestion!
Ritu Medium, Olive undertones. Oily skin. »wow, love the shade.. will look nice on my medium skin tone I believe 🙂
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »I think it would, Ritu!
Trish Medium, Yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Oh darn- did I miss a 25% off sale? I really want to try a few of their products- but would have loved a discount. The blush is very pretty on you- natural looking!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »They just extended it, Trish!
MaliaThis might be a common question but is there a way I can see just the “temptalia recommends” products? For the first time I did use the products tab and select the specific products, that was incredible!! Such an amazing feature! 43 pages of highlighters lol!!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »In the sidebar, there is a section called “Best of Temptalia” and you’ll find a link to “Recommended Products” – http://www.temptalia.com/temptalia-recommends
Dee D Tan, Yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Looks like Breezy’s mauve cousin lol. Looks v pretty on you Christine!
LibraTineThis is beautiful, but I don’t think my touch is light enough to make it work, lol. That’s why I prefer lighter, “impossible-to-overdo” shades like Orgasm, Ilamasqua Katie, MAC Tea Pink and Easy Manner, etc. I have the Natural Beauty eye palette and Bye Bye Pores finishing powder from It Cosmetics; I really love them, and they get a lot of use. I’m anxious to try some of their other products, just wish this product came in a lighter color. 🙂 PS. Thank you SOO much for using my question; I can’t wait to try out some tips today! <3
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »My pleasure <3 Appreciate you submitting!
Erin Fairest, Neutral undertones. Combination skin. »I like it! Not sure it would jive on my flareup days but on good skin days it would be awesome with a light hand!
