Cannot find the Laura Gellar Gelato blushes at Ulta anymore. Only the highlighters 🙁
What?! That is so weird 🙁
Been to two different Ultas and no blush, only highlighter. They have the other baked blushes not the Gelato blushes. Mades me worried they are doing away with their vivid swirl Gelato blushes. I see they are on the website still. I love my vivid Gelato blush in cantaloupe. I might have to suck up my dislike of shopping online and buy a back up just in case
Laura Geller has tons of sales via her own website, and I haven’t had any issues ordering from there 🙂
Good to know! I’m not much of an online buyer but I may for those Gelato blushes
Online or QVC. That’s my suggestion. I don’t know if she has a web site.
LOVE Clinique cheek pops for a soft “glow” that isn’t too in your face shimmery. I’ve spent this week road tripping cross country and ginger pop was the one blush I brought in my travel bag.
The finish on the Cheek Pops makes them so special!
I have a few of the cheek pops and love them too. Between my love affair with the Orgasm group and UD Rapture, they are on the top.of my favorites. That said, I also like many of Sephora brand blushes too.
Love Clinique Cheek Pops. Peach Pop is my favorite. I recently bought fig pop and it’s very nice. Melon Pop and Pink Pop are on my wish list!
So many pretties! Lots of great picks here. For shimmery blushes, my most used lately are UD x Gwen Stefani Hush, Milani Rose Powder Blush in Blossomtime Rose, e.l.f. Twinkle Pink, Wet n Wild ColorIcon Blush in Rose Champagne, UD Rapture, and Too Faced Baby Love.
I don’t think I have tried Wet ‘n’ Wild Rose Champagne – is that permanent? Hm. Off to check!
Yes its permanent. It is stunning and so long lasting
The Clinique Cheek Pop! OMG, I don’t know how I’ve lived without it all these years!! I’m on a mission to collect them all!
It’s a very nice formula!
I’ve been loving my Laura Geller Blush’n’Brightens in Apricot Berry, Tropic Hues and Golden Apricot, plus the ‘highlight’ shades in my UD Gwen Stefani palette (I’m pale enough that they work better as blushes on me).
I love a good highlighting blush 🙂
Chanel Malice for sure. I bought it about 2 weeks ago and I think I have worn it more days than I haven’t in the last couple weeks! It’s just a wonderful blush.
Agreed! 🙂
I love theBalm Instain blushes, and own all six. They’re completely matte, though!
Nice!
I’ve been using Clinique Plum Pop and IT Cosmetics CC blush (from a face palette) interchangeably this past 2 weeks or so. I’ll be packing Plum Pop as it’s just one week til I leave for NYC and want to get as much stuff packed ahead of time as possible…Naked palette, minis of skin care, foundation and concealer (in MAC sample jars…perfect for travel), eyeliners (I have multiples of my go-to’s and when they get short from sharpening, I keep them for travel as 2 will fit into the well in the Naked palette).
Nice! Happy to see Plum Pop going on a little trip 😉
I love TheBalm Hot Mama for shimmery coral pink cheeks.
I also love TheBalm Balm Desert all over as a bronzing blush. Perfect for relaxed summer looks!
And I’ll just throw on Physician’s Formula Happy Booster Natural on the apples of my cheeks for a light pop of pink.
Balm Desert is underrated!
I bought Balm Desert specifically to use as a transition eyeshadow color, at the suggestion of Emily Noelle at Beauty Broadcast!
Love these picks! I got Butterfly Beach in my most recent Colourpop order and have been loving it as a blush this summer.
Thank you, Stephanie!
For my birthday my husband bought me Bliss Cosmetic’s light the glow gradient powder in Bellini Sunset and I *love* it! I’m pale as heck so I use the lighter half as a sculpting highlighter and blush, then the very darkest shade as eyeshadow. It’s soooooo pretty. I kinda want the other two colors now too lol.
Wow, that sounds gorgeous!
Clinique Ginger Pop and Peach Pop. Both are beautiful.
Great picks!
I knew you would put the TF one first, it is your favourite – but these are all lovely and gorgeous shades for varying complexions.
Haha! 😉
So happy to see Butterfly Beach made the cut!!! I love that one! And UD Rapture, but that wasn’t exactly a surprise, I figured that one would be a winner, too.
I’ve been using CP Butterfly Beach (looks gorgeous with Cheek Pollen) , UD Rapture, Clinique Cola Pop, Nyx Pinched, MAC Cheek Pollen, with MAC MSF in Otherearthly or Pearl Blossom Beauty Powder to boost the shimmer in any of the above.
Butterfly Beach has great color + sheen!
If I want shimmery, I usually layer My Pretty Zombie’s MDMA blush over one of my other blushes. I did recently get the Benefit Cheekathon box, which has a couple shimmery colors in it (Rockateur, Coralista) — I should start experimenting with that one.
Rockateur is really pretty! Try ittt!
I own none and would like them. I’ve been lusting after Malice for a long time.
I hope you can try Malice sometime!
I tend to use more coral or peachy blushes in summer. Milani luminoso, MAC Peaches and MAC Melba are some of my most used summer blushes. So surprised to see so many mauvy-purply shades in the list because they are my favorite shades for winter. NARS Sin or this kind of shade is my go-to blush during the cooler months when I’m paler.
Me too! Well, I guess that would be all the time for me ;P
I don’t own any of these. But Guava and Papaya look so nice.
I love LG’s finishes on her blushes!
I LOVE Dolce Pink by Milani, been using it a ton lately!
Laura Geller “Papaya” looks stunning as well!
Payapa is such a nice pop of coral!
Looks like the Laura Gellers are such winners. And the Clinique Pop blushes are too cute.
The Gelatos are ;D
Clinique peach pop!
Lovely choice, Ida!
NARS TAOS or Dolce Vita
Milani Dolce Pink and Rose D’Oro
Nice picks, Chris! 🙂 Taos is a good one.
I’ve been happy with LG baked blush in pink grapefruit and Clinique Fig Pop. I’ve experimented with a few others lately, but always returning to those two. Am most distressed to hear that LG baked blushes are scarce in Ulta stores currently! I shall now scour stores here and also the LG site to stock up; it took me over a year to find this new favorite after my then-favorite (Chanel in tempting beige) was discontinued.
I think these have been around for awhile, at least on her website!
