Sonia Kashuk Creme Blushes: Natural, Flushed Cheeks on the cheap
Sonia Kashuk’s new Creme Blushes are like buttah, baby. These highly pigmented blushes ($8.99 each — hello, bargain!) feel so soft and creamy to the touch that I’m tempted to get a knife and spread ’em on toast. I think all three shades are really bee-yoo-tiful. They pack plenty o’ color for my cheeks and produce a incredible dewy finish.
Sold exclusively at the house of Tar-ghay (aka Target), these shimmer-free blushes are surprisingly wearable considering how highly pigmented they are. I used a single layer to give my cheeks a natural flush and two layers to creates a bolder pop of color.

I wore two layers of Rosey for my look today.
The three shades, from left to right:
Rosey: pink-coral
Petal: cool rose-pink
Ginger: warm orange-brown
I’ve been wearing these blushes separately for the past few days. To apply them I’ve used Sonia’s flat top Blusher brush ($14.99). The synthetic fiber brush head grabs just enough color and fits nicely onto the apples of my cheeks.

First, I applied foundation followed by a layer of Creme blush and a dusting of loose powder. I followed it up with a second layer of Creme blush atop the loose powder.
A layer of powder blush will set Creme Blush, giving it a bit much more staying power. On my combo oily/dry skin, Creme blush by itself lasts about four hours, comparable to how long other cream blushes that I’ve tried have lasted.
To push Creme blush beyond its limits, I’ll reapply around halfway through the day, swiping a finger across the pan and dabbing and blending a little much more product onto my cheeks. The compact comes with a small sponge brush, which certainly works in a pinch, but I ended up throwing mine out because it seemed to cause some streaking.
If I’d tried to use Sonia’s Creme Blushes a few years ago when my skin was oilier than it is now, I doubt I would have liked them as much as I do. They’re emollient-rich, and I have a feeling they would have slid best off my uber-oily skin.

Can you believe each of these huge pans of blush costs just $8.99? I couldn’t believe these were budget friendly when I found the sleek, minimalist packaging. I think they look much more expensive than they really are.
And they’re not just easy on your wallet; Creme blush was developed without testing on animals.
I like these blushes and hope much more colors show up soon. C’mon, Sonia! You better get on it, girl.
I checked the Target site online but couldn’t find Sonia Kashuk Creme Blushes available for sale (pooh!). They ought to be available, however, from your favorite Target store.
Whew! I have no idea where today went. It went by in the blink of an eye! now I’m going to unwind for an hour or so at dance class.
