Milani Nude Kiss Cheek Kiss Cream Blush ($8.99 for 0.21 oz.) is a darker, peachy coral with strong, warm undertones and a natural finish--not really glossy but more than matte. The texture was very lightweight, emollient, and thin with a fair amount of slip, which made it a better product for applying over bare skin rather than a heavier set of base products.
The issue I had was that it was more likely to lift up base products--especially if they were powdery or more matte in finish--so it wasn't as effortless or as versatile as other cream blushes on the market. It had semi-sheer, buildable pigmentation, which was in line with the marketing, that worked well on bare skin but was quick to spread so some care was needed to keep the application precise.
It seemed to slide a bit down my cheeks after six hours of wear. As a lip product, there was slight emphasis of my lip texture due to the thinness of the formula, while the product lasted for two hours and felt non-drying.
