NYC Creme Stick in Wild Berry

I know you've probably seen this before, so and if you skip this review, totally understandable. I never really used creme blushes but I recently fell in love with the NYC Creme Stick in Wild Berry because of the review on Mocha Mish Mash's site. I don't know if the stores in NY are the last to get them, or if its just my neighborhood, but I've had a lot of trouble finding this. The only one that I have that comes similar to this that I own, is the Stila convertible in Lillium. I got the stila one a long time ago in a mini set, so I'm not sure how much it is, but wait let me google it... The full size is $25 for .15 oz. / 4.25 g !!! Glad I got the mini in a sample case. The NYC is $4 for .28oz/8.0g, almost double the price. I don't use the stila often, but I still have a ton of product left, so I don't think I'll be repurchasing both anytime soon. Get ready for my awesome photo shopping skillz...

You can't really see it based on the photo but both show up nicely, blended smoothly and is nice. The stila is a bit stickier, and the NYC is a bit smoother. Both last fairly well, but the stila lasts just a bit longer on my skin.
In natural light, it seems that you can't see it well, but be warned. I tries putting a blush on top, and nope I shouldn't have. It looked like I was drunk with my rosy cheeks. Maybe I shouldn't have put on the hot coral blush but, worn alone it looks nice and natural. I probably wouldn't purchase a Stila one because of the price. However, the NYC one is well worth getting again.
BTW:

Happy Birthday to my dad! Got him a manly birthday gift. Power Tools. I know I hate getting gifts for him because he is pickier about things more than anyone in the family. If all else fails, get your dad a home depot gift card or some power tools. Guaranteed best gift.
