If you’ve looked for a great blush at the drugstore and haven’t had any luck—I think your luck is about to change! Over the past few months, I’ve tried many products from Physicians Formula, and I must say, these are my FAVORITE!

Behold, the Cashmere Wear Ultra-Smoothing Blushes:

Available in two shades; Rose, and Natural, I’ve found that both of these blushes are smooth to the touch, have perfect pigmentation, don’t streak when applied, and didn’t fade away during the day.

Aside from just being pretty to look at in the compact, there are two shades in each pan that you blend together to create one gorgeous hue. While both are on the pink side, I found that the Natural shade had more of a peachy-pink hue, while Rose was more of a true rosy-pink. In addition to being what I think are gorgeous blushes, these contain cashmere extract which makes them feel very soft, sodium hyaluronate for hydration, and soft focus pearls that give a very flattering light-diffusing effect to the skin.

The compact itself is pretty nice, it feels like it’s covered with a soft flocked-felt fabric and has a pink tassel on the front where the blush is located. Underneath, you’ll find a decent sized mirror on the interior, in addition to a natural bristle blush brush.

According to Physicians Formula, this product is fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, paraben-free, and oil-free.

Bottom Line…

I know that at $12.95, these can be a little pricey for drugstore—but I’ve noticed them on sale several times, so I know you can get a deal on these babies! Everything is just so right with these for me; the packaging, the pretty woven pattern marrying two gorgeous pearlescent blush shades together, the added hydration benefits, their excellent pigmentation. I could go on! These are a GO in my opinion.

    Thanks for the review! I’ve had this product for a while but not using it because it’s so pretty! Glad to know it was worth purchasing :)

    I love this blush. The bronzer is my favorite. Have you tried it? xo

    Hi Ter! I haven’t tried the Cashmere Wear bronzer yet, but from what I hear–they’re just as good!

    I picked the Rose shade up during a 2 for 1 promotion and love it. When the 2 shades are mixed, it’s actually very close to the same shade as Cargo blush in Mallorca, which is gorgeous. The difference being is that the Physicians Formula blush has a nice sheen to it and the Cargo blush is ever so slightly darker. I always make a point of picking up PF blushes & powders when they’re on promotion – which is very often – because they’re absolutely gorgeous. Their finish, shades and quality really make for some of the best drug store blushes out there.
