Smashbox Naked Beauty 2010

Oh why, oh why did I not buy products from this collection earlier in the season? I have been looking at the highlights/creamy cheek color for awhile now but never had quite the incentive to make a purchase. I am not lacking makeup in any way. If anything, I should be clearing my makeup space. (Discount blog sale, anyone?)

Anyway, after reading about the cheek color over over at Chic Profile, I have been really wanting it. Well, it is sold out over at Smashbox and I don't see it at Sephora either. :( What's a girl to do? It probably is a good thing. I should not buy anymore makeup. I should buy books. Books!

I know this highlight blush duo won't be all that I make it out to be, but I can't help but want to blend its creamy smoothness onto my cheeks to give me that natural flush. It just seems all so perfect in my mind. Never mind that I don't even like to use blush. Bronzer has always been my thing.

The current "cream" blush I use is a mixture of Neutrogena moisturizer and pinkish powder blushes that I've mixed together in a small container. But really, it is still a powder blush and doesn't glow like that one advertised by Smashbox. No matter what they tell you, advertisements work.

Has anyone tried this or any similar cream blush? Any thoughts?
