One thing I've always struggled with is finding a blush that stays on me all day; or at least the majority of the day. When I say I've tried just about every brand/style of blush, I'm not kidding. From "long-lasting" to "12 hour wear", powder and cream formulas, I've experimented with them all throughout the years.
I've tried primers, putting powder under then over it, applying in layers, etc. I've settled with finding a color and formula I like and reapplying as needed throughout the day. No joke- blush wears off of me super duper fast.
Imagine my excitement to have finally found a blush that STAYS! WOO HOO! I am a member of Birchbox, which is a monthly beauty box subscription service. In a nutshell, you pay $10 a month and receive a box each month in the mail filled with beauty care samples, like perfume, makeup, skincare, etc. I love it! Last month, I received "theBalm Stainiac Hint of Tint lip and cheek stain" in the"Beauty Queen" shade.

I was skeptical, as my past experiences with stains have left me unsatisfied. They either dry too fast, so you can't blend well, dry out the lips and skin, or look unflattering and "crease-y" when applied.
This stain goes on so easily and blends wonderfully! It looked natural and stayed on for most of the day!
theBlam Stainiac Hint of Tint lip and cheek stain in "Beauty Queen"
Pros:
*Lovely build-able color; goes on sheer and can be layered to achieve desired degree of color
*Easy to blend
*Flattering to most skin types
*Formula isn't too dry
*STAYS ON my cheeks for most of the day! Victory!
Cons:
*I didn't get the same awesome results when I used it as a lip stain. But you must understand that I'm a lip-licking, wear my lip gloss and chapstick off in about 30 seconds kinda gal. So this would probably work wonders for those of you who don't have this problem!
What blush or beauty product do you love due to it's long-lasting/wearing power?
