What the gurus are saying

Gurus who love cream blushes consistently praise the Rhode Pocket Blush for its dewy, natural finish, skin-like blend, and long wear. The main criticism centers on the packaging: reviewers find it bulky for a product marketed as pocket-friendly and worry it damages easily. One reviewer also notes the formula can be oily and may lift foundation slightly. The split is between cream blush enthusiasts who rank it highly and those skeptical of its practicality and design.

"I love their pocket blushes, specifically in the shade Piggy, which is also kind of like a cool-toned pink, great for fair skin as well. And then Sleepy Girl, which I love actually layering together with Piggy. Sleepy Girl is a nice mauve shade. I love how dewy the Rhode blushes are. They just look so nice. They're so beautiful and they're already pretty well priced, especially for the quality, but on sale even better. Kind of a no-brainer."

FINALLY TRYING THIS NEW MAKEUP...
"The blushes seriously are so stunning like they're so smoothing and I love the soft glow that it gives the skin it just makes my skin look healthy there's no glitter in it it's the finish of the blush that's doing that. Really excited about the blushes, right now I feel like it lives up to the hype."

"I love the Rhode Pocket Blushes. I have two shades here. I do plan on picking up another shade or two. I was thinking of Piggy, which is that baby pink shade in the collection. I have Tan Line, which gives like that natural sunburnt look to the skin. There's a little bit of that brown undertone, but you still have some of that pinky red tone in there as well, which I think looks beautiful on so many skin tones. And I also have in the shade Sparkle. And this has a pearlescent in it. It's not super sparkly. Honestly, if you're someone that loves to wear highlighter, you still could because there really isn't a lot of shimmer in here. Like, I really don't see it when I have it on my skin. But I really love these two shades. They're longwearing. I love cream and liquid blushes. I only wear cream and liquid. I don't even resort to powder blushes anymore because I just feel like cream and liquid just melt into the skin. It looks more natural and realistic, more skin-like, and I much prefer that than powder. So, if you love cream blushes and you haven't tried the Rhode Pocket Blushes yet, I really do recommend it."

"I can't imagine this fitting comfortably and nicely in a pocket without making it look like you're smuggling something. No, it wouldn't. It just looks terrible. I thought this was a refill and you could take it out, which I don't think you can. I nearly just broke it. It's absolutely, really, really not okay. The shade is Freckle. It is kind of really shiny and creamy. Although there seems to be quite little product in the actual container, I actually don't think you're gonna get through all of that very quickly because it is quite pigmented."

"It's a nice blush. It sits well. It blends quite well. It does take off a little bit of your foundation. There's a patch there, you can actually see a fingerprint there. Not the best product ever and is quite oily. Would I recommend this? No. Should they rethink it? Yes."

"It's chunky. It's about this big. Nothing screams on the go pocket size about that. I don't understand the chunkiness of that product. Would I like a blush that's this thick? No, no. I like my stick blushes to be in a stick, or something that's more manageable. The packaging looks wasteful as well. Why do you need it to be that big?"
