I like the Josie Maran cheek gelees, Benefit Posietint, and the Becca cheek soufflés. Those aren't technically creams, though. They are a gel, a liquid, and a solid-ish powder.
For a stick cream blush, I really like the NYX ones. I have two colors, and they're both great.

I'm also a big fan of the gels - soap and glory cheekmate is fantastic and lasts forever (both on face and in the tube).
I am a cream blush junkie. I've never tried the MUFE though because I'm also cheap as hell. I have: nyx cream pots (natural and orange) nyx cream sticks (uhhh...I can never remember which flower name is right. hibiscus? It's a matte brownish pinkish shade) stila convertible color (they have three pack minis right now - I picked up the one with lillium, petunia and hibiscus) sleek (some of their colors in their blush x3 are cream, read the descriptions to find. I have California which is all coral/peach tones) becca soufflé (the one that came in that best of becca set) Maybelline master glaze (plum)
My favorite of those is actually also the cheapest - the nyx pots. The nyx sticks are a close second, probably tied with the Maybelline though the master glaze is not matte and the nyx sticks have both matte and non-matte finishes so in that sense the nyx wins on versatility. Also in the shimmer/glow category is the becca soufflé which I absolutely love, but I'm a cheap ass and I'm not sure I'm willing to shell out for more of them when I do a side by side with the master glaze stick.
The stila are also nice - they're very pigmented and come in some absolutely lovely colors, but they fade quickly on me compared to the nxy. Not so quickly that I won't wear them, but they're better for an evening out than a full day of wear. The sleek blush palette I have is nice enough, but the shimmer shades are like full on GLITTER, which limits their usefulness to me. The one matte shade in there is nice though. They have similar wear time to the stila.
And then there's the related stain category... I like becca beach tint the best in that category, closely followed by benetint. (and lolli and posi, but benetint is my favorite of the three) And then I also have some gel stain stick thingys but they're discontinued.
Mine is in pravella/janelle. It provides a gorgeous glow (but not shimmer!) and I like using the bright color on the apple of my cheeks and the more neutral one on the rest of the appropriate blush area. I'd call that my cheekbones but I don't really have any. LOL
I bought some NYX a while back and returned them. I had the opposite experience as wawa and they didn't last long on me.

I want there to be a way to take a swab of your skin oils/etc, send it to a lab, and get back results about which makeup formulations your skin is going to eat and which ones will last. Can we make that happen?
I'm pretty much in heyjude's camp in that I've never met a cream blush I didn't at least make workable, if not love. I think cream blushes are fun! Anyway, I use NYX and ColourPop at the moment.
