However, I find myself reaching for my Revlon blushes very often even without thinking about it.
Many people seem to dismiss the range because it is not the most pigmented kind out there and the color selection looks less cheery than the rest, which is, well, all true.
I still have higher regards for them compared to other drugstore options and now even more so since Revlon has recently upgraded and simplified their blush collections.
Revlon Powder Blush Haute Pink (002)
Besides the cream blush (I recently reviewed one here) and the new highlighting palettes, now they offer nine of very wearable powder blushes nondescript of the finish.
Before, there was a separate matte range and a few belonged to certain lines, which was quite confusing if you ask me.

Some of the classic shades have been reincarnated with different names, and you can see here if you can find your old favorites before you panic and start asking on the boards.
Revlon also cleaned up the packaging a bit, too. It is the same rectangular black case but now with this more sophisticated and sturdier feel. In fact, the new powder blush looks very dandy once you peel off all the stickers.
I also like to mention that the brush included actually is nice. It may be tiny but very soft and works adequately for touch-ups.
There is a mirror as well, and thank God it is glued on the case not popping out on the side!
(Remember the time Revlon once tried to pop our eyeballs out? ;o)

Haute Pink is one of those newly introduced shades in spring 2014.
It is a vibrant medium pink.
Definitely blue based, but Haute Pink has a nice amount of red as well.
Haute Pink looks matte from the pan but it translates into a satin finish.
I was very surprised to read Temptalia's review saying it is so sheer that she had to scrape the product off using a metal spatula(!) to get the swatch color, because I thought this particular color (at least) was quite pigmented.
In fact, I had no trouble getting the swatch color above using my finger tip not to mention it was a simple "right to left" swipe.
To me, Revlon Powder Blush is exactly what they say it is.
"Ultra-soft, silky powder blush adds a natural flush of color to your cheeks. Provides buildable color with a soft satin finish."
This fresh and bright pink color is just perfect for spring and it looks quite flattering on me.
Since Haute Pink is rather a vivid color, this sheer blendable quality is actually a plus especially if you don't have the expertise in makeup application, or when you're in hurry (like every morning!).
Surprisingly I don't really have fallout issues with this blush, either.
Lasting power is decent as well judging by the fact it lasted through the evening when I had a small performance yesterday.
Here is how Haute Pink looks on me.
Have you tried the new Revlon blushes?
I came to this conclusion that Revlon does nice blushes, but would love to hear about your thoughts as well. :)
