We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

One of the best aspects of this new feature is to turn you on to things you may have missed….in my case, mac’s blushbaby. Thanks, guys. And can we spell more Ulta points for it? Yes, we can. (Unless it’s pan only on Mac…so much easier not to depot….)

I’ve been using NARS Orgasm for many years, but recently I’ve been looking for something new. A makeup artist at Ulta recommended going a little more pink for my skin tone. He made a few suggestions and tried a couple out on me. I wound up buying Clinique’s powder blush called Cupid. I’m wearing it for the first time today and I really like it. I think the pinker shade does look more natural and it’s been staying on very well (I put it on more than six hours ago). I’m looking forward to seeing what everyone votes for.

NARS Douceur is my all-time HG, and although I have a backup (and hope to pick up a couple more…), I’ve been trying to find an alternative, as I don’t think it could ever be truly “duped”. By alternative, I mean something that will look “natural”, even if the actual color may be different. What I’ve found so far, in no particular order:

MAC Bushbaby
NYX Ombre Blush Mauve Me
Milani Romantic Rose
Tarte Exposed, if used very carefully
L’Oreal True Match C3-4 (Tendre Rose, I think…)
MAC Brit Wit
MAC At Dusk (LE)

I just picked up MAC Prism & Blush All Day (literally yesterday), but only swatched them. I do have a good feeling, though.

I want to add that my choices are based solely on color, not formula/longevity; if finding a color I feel comfortable in means a bit of effort/touching up, then it’s absolutely worth it.

Yeah, I know! I just have to figure out if it’s financially feasible right now… I already went over budget for July, and have alot going on in August (daughter’s birthday, back-to-school shopping…), but I’m going to definitely make a NARS haul a priority (there are a few other things I want). Thanks, anyway!

I’ve been wanting to pull the trigger for a few months, but since NARS takes solo long to process orders, I try to make them as worthwhile as possible!

I’ll probably pick up 2 pans, plus Notorious eyeshadow pan, and I have my eye on a few of the new liquid lip duos… Since everything in online-only, I think now may be the time, LOL!

I really love the new Ciate glow-to blush, but as I am very very fair, the colors available at Sephora just weren’t quite right. I ordered the exclusive “Pinch me” color from the Ciate website and I am So glad I did! it is a really beautiful coral pink with gold, but in a subtle way, while still being beautifully illuminating. I love it!!

Pearlescent Pink, Rose Champagne and I’ll others according to skin tone, Corallina baked ones and all others from Milani also.

Most of these, or maybe all of these, have been reviewed by Christine at some point. It would be cool if you could show the Temptalia grade next to the blush, in the list above.

Duh, I didn’t even see that. Your site is the best!
It would be great if there was a swatch and review of Mac Blushbaby. Most of the others are too warm for me, except Urban Decay Rapture, which I think I already have.
