As I've mentioned in my theBalm Cosmetics Video Review, I am currently enjoying my theBalm blushes. They come in this really adorable 1950s-style old school packaging, and environment-friendly compacts. The blush itself is finely-milled, goes smooth on the cheeks and not patchy. I have 3 of their blushes and I am really liking them.

theBalm Hot Mama! blush is the most popular. It is likened to NARS Orgasm due to its peachy pink shimmer. I don't have NARS Orgasm but I do like Hot Mama!. The latter has more of a peachy than a pink tone, with lots of shimmer. This is perfect for nights out when you want a luminous complexion.

theBalm FratBoy blush is probably my favorite out of the ones that I have. It is a beautiful medium pink with no shimmer. It's a beautiful lit-from-within flush on the cheeks.

theBalm DownBoy blush is a cool-toned pink which would suit light to medium skintones. It has the same jet-milled, fine texture of FratBoy. It also has the same matte finish. It's very pretty but I like FratBoy better on my skintone.

All in all, you can't go wrong with these blushes. They apply well and smoothly on the skin, good pigmentation and staying power.
