The TruBlend Blush formula is supposed to be blendable and create a “multi-toned result.” It was the richest and deepest shade of the three that CoverGirl came out with this spring. It had good color payoff with a soft, smooth, and blendable texture (very key with a color like this!) that applied beautifully to the skin. The texture ran a smidgen dusty, but it didn’t look dry or powdery on me. This shade wore well for seven hours before there were signs of fading.

This is soon pretty! I’m getting this. I picked up the light the other day when I saw it in The grocery store,( that’s convenience for ya!)lol. I really love that one too! The cool tones pull the green out in my hazel eyes. But, I think it would be so nice on all people. It’s really great that d/s brands have stepped it up.
So glad to hear you are enjoying the lighter one already, Nicole! 🙂
I am very much into this color. I love a good deep berry, especially now that spring is finally here.
Me too! Happy to see something darker + pigmented from a drugstore brand!
That’s quite nice actually, I’m impressed!
Yay!
Wow, this is SO pigmented for a DS blush!! This will go well with my berry and red lippies, and it’s a dupe for much more expensive products. I think I’ve bought 2 Cover Girl products in last 10 years, but this blush and the new TruBlend Bronzer might change that, esp. if I can BOGO 50% off.
It is! I’m happy there are more options at the drugstore now 🙂
Such a gorgeous color! So similar to Magical in Mauve, which I have, though. Do you think it would be easier to get a lighter, subtler look with this one for summer?
Oh, yes, I think so. Magical Mauve is super, super intense in comparison (like with the barest touch of the brush!).
Yes, I only need the barest touch of the brush with Magical in Mauve for a fairly intense look!
They sure did get this one right! I really like it because, again, a nice natural flush shade is a good thing to own in ones stash! My only concern is that back when I have tried Cover girl face products, the fragrance was always just too much for me. So I wonder whether they are still fragrances?
*fragranced. Autocorrect driving me bats here!!!
I didn’t notice any when using it/photographing it!
Oh, that’s wonderful to hear! CG used to be one of the WORST offenders.
That’s gorgeous blended out.
It is!
What a lovely shade!
That colour is so so pretty!!! I wonder if I can get my hands on it. Possibly! Or I’ll check out the dupes. ?
