This feels and looks like a matte creme liquid lipstick. If you're going to be using it like that, I think you'd love it. It sets to that tacky liquid lipstick feel but is not kiss-proof.
I solely use it as a cream blush and ADORE it. A very small amount is needed to get blushy cheeks. It blends easiest on a slightly dewy base such as moisturizer or foundation. Once it sets, it's harder to blend which is good because it stays put. The pigmentation lasts all day if I apply a decent amount.
Ps. It smells like vanilla!
The Shade Temptation
Temptation is a bright peach-pink. It looks a little brighter and warmer than real blushing looks. On the lips, it looks a little different due to the differences in base colour and thickness in layer compared to pale cheeks. It's in the same colour family as lilah b lip and cheek duo in b.real but they're not quite the same. I love this shade! If I were to buy one of these, this would have been the shade I chose.

Verdict
This is a total hit product for me. It's everything I like in a cheek product. It's hygienic, pigmented, easy to use and comes in shades I would actually wear as blush. I love it as a lip product as well, but I feel like way more product is used that way. As a cheek product, it will last way longer making the price worth it.
