Hello lovelies!
This was originally part of the last post on the NYX Rouge Cream Blushes, but I decided to separate it out into its own post. The HTM/CSS coding from the last post was messing up my blog layout which I had no clue how to fix (I'm such a noob!), so here we are with a new post. Let's start fresh shall we? ;)
*********************************************
A lot of people have asked before how the NYX cream blushes compare to the ones from MAC. I myself wondered as well but didn't get a chance to compare them until recently.
Right: MAC Cremeblend Blush in So Sweet, So Easy*********************************************

Left: NYX Rouge Cream Blush in Boho Chic
This Mac cream blush was from the Lillyland collection that came out earlier so it's a limited edition product. I picked this blush up because the colour is different from any of the other cream blushes I own, and the other cream blushes by MAC never interested me.
The packaging for both MAC and NYX cream blushes are practically identical. At 0.21oz, the NYX blushes actually hold slightly more product than the MAC blushes at 0.19oz, but this is obviously a negligible difference.
The closest shade that I had to this was Boho Chic by NYX,
the softest pink I had from the NYX collection, seen below.

The texture and consistency of the two blushes feel the same: creamy, smooth and easy to blend. Both are highly pigmented so a tiny bit goes a long way. Surprisingly, even though I have oily skin, both these cream blushes last ages on me. I attribute this to the fact that while they start off creamy, these blushes blend out nicely to a soft, matte finish and are never sticky nor feel thick on your cheeks.
They're a dream to use!

Though the colours are similar, the finishes are nothing alike. So Sweet, So Easy is a soft, matte pink while Boho Chic as shown is a shimmery, frosty pink. Both colours are gorgeous in their own way, and I love them both! All in all, I think the NYX cream blushes are pretty comparable to the MAC cream blushes and at just $7 each,
they're certainly worth a try!
Can you spot the MAC blush above?

Haha if any guy ever pisses you off, you should send it to him LOL
You shall win EVERY fight! Haha

Hey Anita! Thanks for reviewing the NYX and Mac blushes. Sometimes MAC is still on the more expensive side so it's hard to hoard lol.
mei and i nominated you for an award on our blog :D come and check it out~
Oh very nice post! I haven't tried the NYX cream blush yet. Actually, they don't sell it around here so I'll probably have to order it online. I'm glad to see they size up to MAC.
Thanks!!!
Ooh thx for doing the comparison! I don't own any blushes yet, but I may pick up a NYX one now!
Thx for the sweet words on my contest entry!! ^_^
nice! That means I can save a lot of money. I haven't got an MYX product yet. This is really tempting.
i can't believe it's almost the same packaging!!
and a lot cheaper! i really want to try NYX product, but I think we don't have it in the UK...
anyway I love cream blushes! my fav is Posey from MAC
:)XX
hi love! hope youve been doing good! i have 3 blog awards waiting for you :)
Boho chic is such a pretty color, the blushes looks same packaging but different price?
I need to try the Nyx sometime but I can't seem to find any here.
Thanks for stopping by and your very kind comments.
lots love

I've always shied away from cream blushes because I'm afraid if I accidentally rest my cheek on my palm, I'll smudge it! But I guess that could apply to any type of blush haha.
The make up drives me crazy!!! i love to see my eyes outstanding and seductive and is very impressive to see my face when i use blush, my face stay with a youthful pink, wonderful. So when i make up very well is sure my date must to buy viagra because i am very ardous.
