I've always preferred powder blushers as they're easy to use but cream blushers seem to give me a more glowy, natural and less cakey look. Applying cream blusher beneath powder also helps it last longer.

Before Canmake blushers became popular here, NYX Rouge Cream Blushers caught my eye. Although I wanted to get so many colours, I knew I wouldn't really use cream blushers so I only bought one and chose a safe shade : Natural.
Casing is all black with a window which makes it easy to see the shade. Cover is secure but easy to open so you probably won't have any 'accidents' while opening it.
*Surface has been 'repaired' using Photoshop since it's used and there was a HUGE dip where my fingernail accidentally dug inside =_="
I used to apply this using the stippling method but nowadays I just use my finger to save time.. Once blended out, it's a soft flush of colour but it's buildable. It's so creamy and easy to spread yet doesn't make me oily.
I think the name suits it perfectly as the colour is just so natural.. I'm not a fan of OTT blushers so this is just perfect.. ^_^ Lasting power is alright.. Doesn't last from morning til night but it's decent enough..

My conclusion : I have not tried other brands of cream blushers but IMO this is pretty good for the price =) I've used it a number of times but there's barely a dent (except for the large dip =_=). There's no sign of it drying up
that is a gorgeous shade! I'm surprised it made form China as their stuff were previously made in the US. Looks good quality though!
