Hellooooo lovelies! Aaaah, it feels SO good to be able to post a review for you after such a long (unintentional) break from my computer. I’ve got some time this afternoon on a functioning computer and I cannot wait to share this product with you!

Before I get into the review, I have to say that this was a completely unexpected love affair for me. I had heard so many so-so and negative reviews of this blush that I actually never would have purchased it had I not had a good coupon to combine with a BOGO sale a while back. So it just goes to show you that you should never take my reviews, or anyone else’s for that matter, as absolute fact. Your results could differ tremendously and even if everyone and their mother hates a particular product, it could very well end up being a holy grail item for you. You just never know…

If you haven’t tried Cover Girl Simply Ageless Blush yet, I am begging you to not jump to conclusions about this one. Yes, its target audience is women with more “mature” skin (which would include me, and it does work GREAT on my skin) but if you’re young, do NOT let that stop you. For me, this has been an incredible product that has FAR exceeded my expectations, for several reasons.

(These pictures make this shade look super orange, but I promise you it’s not nearly as orange in real life–it’s really a beautiful, warm berry shade).

As with all the Simply Ageless products, this cream blush is swirled with a ribbon of Olay Regenerist Serum, which claims to help “improve skin texture” and “give your skin an instantly healthy-looking, youthful looking glow”.

The top part of the compact houses the blush (which actually screws into the compact–it’s not a flip-top) while the bottom part of the compact is a flip-top and houses a sponge (which I never, ever use, btw. I find this blush to work wonderfully when applied with just my fingers).
