Name: Miracle Touch Creamy Blush
Brand: Max Factor
Price: €13,00
From Max Factor’s website:
This blend-easy blusher adds a radiant, dewy flush to all skin-types. Unlike powder blushers it also stays looking freshly applied throughout the day.
What I liked:
- beautiful shades that give a nice and healthy flush
- easy to blend
- glowy finish
- pigmented
- not sticky
- easy to carry around
- longlasting for a cream blush
What I didn’t like:
- small pot
- the price
Every time I went to a Max Factor counter, their Miracle Touch Creamy Blush would catch my eye, but because of its size, which looks more like that of a tester than that of a full size product, I never got round to purchasing it. Not that I have ever managed to finish a full size blush before and besides, the small pot is easy to carry around everywhere.
Then, for my birthday, my boyfriend bought me this blush. He didn’t know I had been lemming it for ages (no point in telling him as he always forget these things) and I don’t think he knew it was a blush either. He simply said he bought it because he liked the color lol.
I have to admit that the color is really nice but when I first saw it I was a bit scared. Because I have very pale skin I tend to go for softer and safer shades so if I had bought this myself, I would have probably chosen one of the other 3 pink shades available. But in the end, his choice was right.
Soft Candy is a bright and rich coral red in the pot. The color is very pigmented so less is more with this blush. Because of that, the small pot will last for months. I only dab the tiniest amount on my cheeks (but you can also build up the color if you prefer) and it gives them a nice and healthy red flush with a radiant glow despite the fact that it doesn’t contain any shimmer nor glitter whatsoever.
The gel-like texture is light and creamy, making it very easy to blend. Unlike most cream blushes, this doesn’t feel sticky when applied on the cheeks, which is always a plus for me. I’m also pleased with its staying power. Although it doesn’t last all day, it only starts to fade after about 7 hours of wear, longer if you set it with powder, which is a lot for a cream blush.
Summary:
Overall, I like the blush. The pot is very small and for that some people may feel it’s not worth the price, unless on sale. However, the blush is very pigmented so a little goes a long way and gives cheeks a radiant, healthy flush. In addition, it doesn’t feel sticky and the staying power is not bad for a cream product.
Rating: 4/5

I love gel blushes and this one looks pretty cute…But I think Johnson & Johnson is sacking maxfactor in US…(Anyway, I have never seen this in US anyway…and the price is not that much cheaper /not cheaper at all compared to mac gel blush…)
Citrine, it’s a shame Max Factor is being discounted in the USA, I love the brand. I think this is a bit overpriced, especially considering how small it is. But at least the quality is pretty good. The blush has good staying power, is pigmented and will last for ages.
The only items left from Max Factor in the USA are few mascaras, blushes and some lipsticks. Its a shame its being discontinued but hey they get better sales in Asia so only makes sense I guess. I’m really going to miss this brand! That cream blush looks amazing! Looks like a good lip color too!

Dee, I can see why they are discounting it but still it’s sad. It’s a good brand and it’s a shame people weren’t interested enough. I like their lipsticks, they are fairly moisturizing and their mascaras have always worked well for me. I love this blush too, but I had never thought of using it as a lip color. I may try that, I reckon it would look good too, thanks
The color looks pretty!! But the price is quite expensive yeah?
Yeah its a shame that they’re remove MF from the States. Bring it here where i live, and i will do my part to help boost their mascara sales! haha!!

Jenn, yeah, it’s not cheap for a drugstore brand but the quality is good. The blush is beautiful and long-lasting for a cream products
And that would be very nice of you lol. They should sell Max Factor where you live too, I’m sure you would like their mascaras.
Fabulessbeauty, you’re welcome. I hope you can find it
Senna has a gorgeous and long-lasting cream blush too. It’s called Cheeky Blush but it’s very shimmery and on the pricey side. The Max Factor is a cheaper but very valid alternative 
Oh, thanks a lot for review, Gio. I think about getting this blush for myself.

Marina, you’re welcome. It’s a really good blush and I think you’ll like it. I just wish it was bigger.
Hello Gio! I have the same blush and I use to wear it on lips too… should I? =D
I love the color on my lips, it looks very healthy and natural.
Sole, it is a beautiful color indeed, and looks so natural. I’m not sure if it can be used on the lips, that depends on the ingredients but they’re not listed on the blush I have.
But some blushes do contain ingredients that are approved for use on the lips
