Addiction features a fairly wide array of blushers, and I have reviewed three of them (Blush in 04 Amazing, Cheek Stick in 14 Damask Rose and Cheek Polish in 06 Tadzio).

One of the shades from the original Blush range that I was interested in was 22 Princess Goh, which was released in fall 2014. I was pleased that the new range still featured this shade, and I decided to try it. (It is now The Blush in 014 Princess Goh.)
