This stuff is cheap. I think it's even cheaper than you can get it at the store. The color is very pretty. It doesn't take much to get color, but that's also a con..
Cons: this stuff is like paint. Even with the slightest touch of your brush to the blush, you're going clown staus. It's almost impossible to blend. The only time this is not true is when you have no other product on your face. I mean no moisturizer, no foundation, just bare skin. Then it's not so bad. But when doing my everyday makeup, which is pretty simple (just moisturizer, foundation, blush, and mascara), I have to put this on as lightly as I can, try to blend as much as I can, and then I still take a folded paper towel and scrub the heck out of my cheeks to get it to a reasonable pink hue. The softness of the toilet paper will not hurt this mighty face paint.
Also, this blush is SO dusty. I've found that most e.l.f. products are this way. I have their blush and some eyeshadow and they both litter every surface around them. On the plus side, if you needed a substance to blow and make a cloud to disappear from, like in a magic trick, this is your product!
All in all, I'd purchase it again, but only because I'm such a cheapskate. If I were willing to pay anything more, I'd go for something else. Pretty colors, I just wish they could keep it together.

I went for a long time without wearing blush. I saw this for a low price one day, though, while I was looking for something else, so I decided to try it. And it really does make a difference. I never realized how pale and washed out I looked until I put this on and took a picture of myself (see my profile picture). I am now wearing it every day!There are a lot of things I like about this blush:
*The color is great for me. As much as I cringe at the name "twinkle pink," I thought a pink color would be best for my complexion.
*A little goes a long way. I don't need to use much, so I anticipate it will last a long time.
*It's inexpensive.
*Although I have sensitive skin, this has yet to provoke a reaction in me. (It also doesn't seem to cause breakouts.)
*It looks the same all day long (no worries about re-checking the application in the mirror at work).
Please note: This does not come with a brush, so you will have to get a brush separately. Also note that the mirror in the compact is rather small. (For me, this is not a problem, because I only put this on in front of my bathroom mirror in the morning.)
If I had to mention one drawback, it's that this is a little difficult to blend. I don't want it to be too bright on my cheekbones. But I work around this by removing the excess blush from the brush before applying (by scraping it against the side of the compact), applying with a light touch, and then rubbing it in with my fingers. (I usually wear liquid foundation and occasionally powder on top of that.) This seems to result in a light level of color that is conservative enough for work but that really does make a difference in terms of my appearance.
