Flower Beauty Cinnamon Blush Bomb Review & Swatches
Cinnamon
Flower Beauty Cinnamon Blush Bomb ($9.99 for 0.3 oz.) is a light-medium, peachy brown with strong, warm undertones and a dewy sheen. It had buildable coverage from semi-sheer to mostly opaque, which definitely depended on how much product was squeezed out at a time. The texture was smooth, gel-like–fluid and spreadable but not watery or runny–and applied well to bare skin as well as over foundation (without lifting it up). It dried down for the most part but retained a lot of that dewy sheen. On me, the blush stayed on well for eight and a half hours before fading a bit.

Formula Overview
$9.99/0.3 oz. - $33.30 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "buildable" coverage with a "natural looking" finish that "blends seamlessly" and is "non-staining." They have a gel-like consistency--more liquid-like but with more substance, a little less watery in feel--that plays better with base products than more water-like liquid/cream blushes. This type of gel texture seems to smooth over base products without lifting them up in my experience. I found the texture easy to apply over bare skin or base products with fingertips or synthetic brushes (though I tend to use fingertips for ease and because they're faster to clean between swatches!). They dried down for the most part but remained more natural to dewy in finish, which was the best of both worlds -- the sheen of liquid and cream products but without a bunch of slip-and-slide during wear.
The pigmentation ranged from shade to shade, though they were all buildable, but a couple of shades, like Bitten (deeper berry), were shades where a little went a long way; they were more semi-opaque to opaque in coverage with sheer coverage being possible by using a very small amount of product. The wear ranged from eight to nine hours before the color started to fade noticeably.

Wow these are scoring very well and reasonably priced!Nice for Tampa’s hot weather. I’m going to Walmart today and hopefully I’ll be able to get a couple!
Hope you love ’em, Denise!
This shade is beautiful, will have to go to Ulta this week and get it.
This shade wouldn’t work for me, but it looks beautiful on you, Christine!
Cinnamon looks amazing! It doesn’t even look like “makeup”, but as the very real beach-kissed glow one has after a weekend at the shore!
I’m excited to see you reviewing Flower products! They have some beautiful blushes, highlighters and lipsticks.
What a lovely, summery apricot shade.
I first heard about these from one of my YT influencers that I follow, Jambeauty89. She loves them. I’m glad to know you have found them to be worth the price too. I trust the reviews of three influencers…you, her, and Tati.
These are beautiful, and guess what? – they are available in Aus.! Great value for the price too.
Oh this is very pretty!
I’m loving the look of all of these. Will have to pick one up next time I’m at Walmart. Even though not advertised as such, I wonder how they would perform on the lips, and even possibly eyes.
Beautiful blush and I like that it stays dewy! Can I ask if is in your plans to review CHANEL L’Indispensable eye palette?
We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can’t commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don’t want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don’t always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!
Thank you so much for your prompt response!
Hi Christine
On the Flower Beauty Cinnamon liquid blush when you posted it on your face your left cheek looks like the color and your right cheek looks pink. Did you just test on 1 cheek? I never post but I do read you every day your skin is so beautiful and your teeth are so white. ( the opposite of me LOL)
For swatch photos (this is not the day I tested it – I take photos of many products in one sitting, and then I test in the days after!), I typically swatch one shade per cheek since I can only do a few before my cheeks get too irritated!
For testing, it really depends on the product – because this needs to be applied over foundation to see if it lifts it up/breaks it down, it is tested over foundation as well as on bare skin!
Oh OK Thanks for responding
This would look like a bronzer on me (and I don’t do bronzer); regardless, this will be a great product on someone.
