I picked up MAC LongWear Blush in the colour "Format" a few weeks ago, and I think I have gotten enough wear out of it to make a review.
Although it says blush, this is most definitely a bronzer. MAC describes it as a frosted pinkish brown, although I see a hint of orange in it.
It is very pigmented, you could use it as an eyeshadow in a pinch.
In MAC I am an NC/25, and I find that this compliments the warm/olive tones in my skin.
From looking at other reviews on MakeupAlley, this blush/bronzer is very popular and works very well on woman with darker skin (around the NC/NW-35-45 range).
To apply this, I use #114 Angled Blending Face Brush from BHCosmetics
I found that this lasts all day on top of my Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation. I am a big fan of this blush/bronzer! I love how heavy I can make it and how shimmery/frosty it is. This beats out my UD Flushed. Even though my skin is lighter than the general fanbase of this product, I still think it looks great and gives my chubby cheeks lots of depth.

Pros:
- Very pigmented, lots of shimmer
- Easy to find in a MAC Counter or MAC Store
- Permanent item
- Great for darker skin
Cons:
- Mid end product, this was 26$ CAD.
- Might not work for skin lighter then NC20
- The frost might not be everyone's cup of tea, this isn't a natural bronzer
