Hiya everyone! This is my first post for Pinkrimage and I am thrilled to be a part of this wonderful blog. Hope all of you are having a wonderful new year. Today I shall be reviewing the Revlon Haute Pink Blush which is from one of my favorite brands (okay it comes second to Mac and Bobbi Brown but they are… well … EXPENSIVE!!)
Honestly, this one’s a little old. I bought it during the 2016 Diwali sale from one of the Pantaloons stores in my city, Kolkata but haven’t had the chance to review it. I’m not really a blush person but couldn’t resist the huge discount and regretted buying it the very next day. You’ll know why very soon. Let’s get down to business, shall we?
MY REVIEW OF REVLON HAUTE PINK BLUSH:
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
From Revlon comes a powder blush that is silky, buildable and available in 3 finishes (matte, satin and shimmer) and shades for every skin tone. Color-true prismatic pigments create vibrant, multi-dimensional cheek color that looks freshly applied all day.
- Enriched with a good for your skin Botanical complex of Green Tea, Gingko Biloba & Grape extracts.
- Silky smooth texture, lightweight feel & natural finish.
- Unique Pop-up mirror, the perfect solution for easy application anywhere, anytime.
HOW TO USE:
- Take a medium sized fluffy brush and lightly sweep over the blush. Tap to remove excess.
- Apply onto the apples of your cheek towards your temples. Smile while application.
- Blend well with a separate brush.
INGREDIENTS OF REVLON HAUTE PINK BLUSH:
Contains talc and comes with a rash warning, so make it a point to test it on your skin before buying.
MY EXPERIENCE WITH REVLON HAUTE PINK BLUSH:
Packaging:
The Revlon powder blush comes in a travel-friendly, matte black plastic case with a rectangular see-through window and the shade label on the top left-hand corner. A brush and a mirror accompany the product that comes in really handy on the go. Details as to ingredients, manufacturing and expiry date are mentioned at the back.
Net weight:
5gms. Good enough at this price.
Colour:
The color is a very true pink with blue undertones. Hence, it is best suited for ladies with cool skin tones. I’m fair with strong yellow/Asian undertones, and this colour doesn’t look natural. It also has very fine silvery shimmers which aren’t quite visible.
Texture and Pigmentation:
I am really disappointed with the texture. It is rough and powdery. Pigmentation is average and you need at least 4 strokes to build some colour on your cheeks. Blend and it completely vanishes. If you are just starting off with blushes, this one’s good for practice as it will never break you out.
Lasting power:
Don’t even ask! I applied the blush and went on to do my eye makeup. By the time I was done, the blush had already vanished from my face and I have a normal to dry skin. Naturally, it would be even worse for oily skin. With a strong base, 10 strokes and a setting spray, it stays an hour. Ughh!
Removal:
A simple face wash takes it off completely. However, I use Johnson’s Baby Oil to remove all my make up.
The Brush:
The brush is small and soft. But I’d advise you to use your own brushes when at home and keep this one restricted to travel.
SWATCHES OF REVLON HAUTE PINK BLUSH
To sum up,
PROS OF REVLON HAUTE PINK BLUSH:
- Sturdy and travel-friendly packaging.
- Due to its average pigmentation, there is no fear of caking up your cheeks. It will never give you a clown face.
- Comes with a mirror and a brush.
- Hassle free removal.
CONS OF REVLON HAUTE PINK BLUSH:
- Poor texture and average pigmentation.
- Not suitable for any skin tone other than fair, preferably with cool undertones. You can use it as a pale pink blush also.
- Doesn’t last at all and frequent touch-ups are required. You really don’t want to rush off to the washroom that many times in the middle of an interesting date, do you?
- For a below-average product such as this, the price is steep.
WOULD I RECOMMEND/REPURCHASE:
DEFINITELY NOT! I wouldn’t recommend buying this even if you get a 50% discount like I did. Coming from a brand like Revlon, this one’s a complete dud. Seriously Revlon, Maybelline makes better blushes at half the price. You can find a much better blush for Indian skin online.
PRICE OF REVLON HAUTE PINK BLUSH:
Rs.695
RATING:
2.5 out of 5
Have you tried any other blushes from Revlon? Which is your favorite blush?

I Should give a try as this pink blush is suitable for fair skin.
It is suited to fair skin. So if you like the colour, sure go for it ?
I love pigmentation, so the fact that this one is lacking makes me sad. I am still on the hunt for good blush!
You could try faces. They make decent blushes?
I usually like this brand a lot and I would think this is a great product. Especially that you could get in 50% off. But well… it vanished after an hour? Poor texture? Not worth the price. Thanks for sharing your review!
I love this brand too and couldn’t have believed they made such a dud if I hadn’t tried it myself ? such a waste of money it turned out?
Just something I have picked up over the years? Thanks so much ?
I love this brand too and couldn’t have believed they made such a dud if I hadn’t tried it myself. Your most
welcome ?
Thanks for such an honest review. I prefer a mineral blush that is healthier for skin and also isn’t tested on animals.
Testing on animals is a huge issue? Most of the budget brands in India test on animals so there’s no escaping it?
It looks like a gorgeous shade! I like that it has kind of a metallic sheen to it. It’s a really lovely pink, I’d totally wear it!
It is a gorgeous shade but sadly doesn’t last at all. But you could definitely give it a try if you want?
I really do like the color, but knowing that it isn’t long lasting enough to even be able to finish the rest of your makeup is very disappointing.
It is really disappointing especially coming from Revlon?
This one looks really good! I thought it looked VERY pink in the pan but your swatches look very natural. I’d have given this one a go up until you stated its flaws. I always love a good and honest review.
Thank you Ithfifi? guess the search for a good pink blush has to go on?
I use Revlon beauty products since long very satisfied with tones and quality.
I was satisfied too until this one. I don’t know how Revlon made such a bad one?
This is a super thorough review, I am impressed! In fact, I’m more impressed with your writing than I am with the blush LOL It only stays on an hour? What’s the point in buying it then? You’d think a brand like Revlon would create a better product. WOW
LOL the blush is unimpressive ? Thanks for the compliment ?
I love the fact that you have done an honest review. Really helps the consumer as to if they will p[purchase or not x
Thanks so much Melanie! Glad I could help you?
revlon usually does good products. It is a shame the texture was not so great!
I know! I would have lived with the texture if the colour payoff was better you know?
I never thought to use baby oil to remove makeup and I hapoy to find this out. Good to know!
Try it Stephanie, works wonders and is good for your skin. You could also use olive oil or coconut oil. They work too!
This shade of pink is perfect for my skin complexion. I need something like this now, during the colder season, because I look very pale. It is a solid brand, I have used many Revlon products over the years.
It is a solid brand! But my experience with this was horrible as you already know. But you can surely give it a try as the colour is perfect for pale complexions?
Wow thanks for the review! I’ll make sure not to buy this one. Thanks for saving me some bucks. 🙂
Thanks so much Veronica! Glad I could be of help?
I too found the pigmentation not strong enough. I really appreciate an honest review. thank you
It is rather sad coming from Revlon. Glad I could help! Your most welcome?
I love how honest your review is, and your post is so well organised with the separate pro and con part!
Just something I have picked up over the years? Thanks so much?
Such a shame that you didn’t get on with the product. An honest review like this is really helpful for readers though!
Glad I could be of help? More reviews coming your way (not all are bad though?) Thanks so much!
Glad to know it comes with a rash warning so one can be sure to do a skin test before purchasing. Will try it and then recommend to my MUA. Thanks for the post.
Your most welcome Victoria? Hope it works for you?
Thank you for your honest review. Most influencers would rather dub us, than share their true opinion of a product.
Your most welcome Xolo ? I buy products with my own money so I understand how irritating it feels to get duped?
This looks like a nice colour but shame it didnt last very long on your face. Love the shimmer of it though and it isnt a bad price.
The shimmer looks good on the pan but doesn’t show up on my skin. You can give it a try if you want?
True pink with blue undertones color sounds so awesome! I would love to try that color if it can fit on my skin. hopefully!
The colour is good but doesn’t last long enough?. You can surely give it a try though. Hope it works for you?
This is the perfect blush color for my skin actually…the one I have got is almost finished so I will have to purchase a new one…I will consider this one…thanks for your honest opinion!
Sure! Try it out. Hope it works for you?
This looks very pretty so it’s a shame that it doesn’t last long and they test on animals. It’s surprising how pigmented it looks on your brush.
I know right! I liked it so much until I tried it out?
I think the color of this blush is too pink for me, I like it just fair and not as pinkish or reddish. Ive had revlon products before and I love it maybe I just need another color and I will definitely love it.
There are different shades in this range so you can definitely try them out?
I love using powder blush. Your honest review on this product has made me eager enough to try it once. I love it’s sweet pink colour also..
Sure do? all the best on that?
This is a really great color of blush. If I were lighter skinned I would definitely love to try it. This is a great brand as well, thank you for sharing!
Your most welcome Ariel ?
