The formula is supposed to have an “ultra-silky” texture that gives a “healthy-looking glow” and a “rush of fresh, radiant color.” The press release is more specific and says it’s supposed to have “buildable dewy color that lasts all day.” According to the brand, the blush formula is a reformulation, but I don’t have any shades in the previous formula to compare to (and it’s been awhile since I last tried one, so all I can say is that they feel, in general, a little smoother). It had semi-sheer to mostly opaque, buildable coverage that was easy to work with and blend out. The texture was smooth, neither too firm nor too soft, and it sat well on the skin as it became slightly dewy as it buffed and worked into the skin. The color started to fade after eight hours of wear.

This is a really lovely color. Added to my ever growing blush wishlist, haha.
Haha! 😉 It’s nice.
Oooh, such a pretty, easy to wear color, love the satin finish. And LOVE your makeup look here—your look so fresh and luminous!
Thank you, Katherine!
Out of this series of EL blushes, I really like this particular one best! It has that beautiful dewy, natural looking finishes that I’m in to. I think that maybe it could still work on my medium olive skin.
Awesome to hear, Nancy 😀
Beautiful color.
Agreed!
Oh wow, I love the color. And there are no problems with the packaging on this one? I may have to pick it up.
No, these are from Estee Lauder – Estee Edit is technically a totally different brand entirely. The formulas aren’t the same!
Oh wow! I had no idea they were separate brands. That’s really good to know though. I guess now I can pick it up! Thanks =). Except, I do have one question, if you have the time/inclination to answer. I was on the Estee Lauder site earlier looking at this blush and decided to talk to one of the online beauty reps. I’ve never done that before, but figured why not? She wasn’t terribly helpful (I told her I was looking for pinks that would stand out on but still compliment my skin tone and specifically didn’t want anything beige-y or nude, but she kept pushing me towards those colors), but she did try to discourage me from getting this color in particular because she said it would be too pigmented for my skin tone. Looking at your swatch it doesn’t look too pigmented to me at all, but I don’t want to spend $34 on a blush that won’t work for me-do you think it would be too much for my skin tone? My skin tone is warm/yellow and only a half/one shade darker than Nars Siberia.
I don’t think this is too pigmented at all. The Estee Lauder formula is thin enough that it doesn’t get a TON of product on your brush with the barest touch of the brush. If you are fair and warmer, I definitely think this would work for you, IMO.
Maybe if you didn’t like blush at all and just wanted to add a little “warmth” to skin, a beige would work, but I don’t see why this one wouldn’t work for you.
Thank you so much Christine! =) In that case this will be going on my to-buy list!
This is my favourite of the ones you’ve reviewed. I don’t think I’ll get it, I have enough blushes to last me my lifetime, so I save my money for something more unique. Also EL is a bit too expensive, I think, when tere are just as good formulas for a lot less.
Correct me if I’m very wrong 🙂
The price actually seemed reasonable for EL’s general price point to me.
Yes, I meant that all EL products are on the expensive side. I rarely buy anything EL. I have some lipsticks and I think an eyeshadow palette. I don’t go and check the counter that often, maybe I should…
Oooh I think this is my favorite so far 🙂
Yay!
So pretty! As fate would have it, I just swatched UD’s Fetish again tonight when I was in Ulta and I love it, but thought that a cooler undertone would make it perfect. Now I’m thinking this may be my answer. I haven’t purchased any Estee Lauder in forever, but this is really tempting me. Do you think this would work well on super pale folk, such as myself?
It looks fabulous on you. In fact, I love your whole look here. Just gorgeous.
I absolutely think it would work on fair skin tones, Eliz! But you can’t go wrong with either Fetish or Rebel Rose 🙂
A very pretty color! If I needed a warm pink blush, I would definitely consider getting this.
It is lovely!
It looks so pretty 🙂
It is!
This might be my favorite yet from this line of blushes. It’s warm but subtle. The satin on this is just the right level of shine without seeming like it would emphasize texture. I don’t have any of the dupes either.
Nice! I hope you can try it sometime, Erin.
Hi, Christine–
Is Laura Mercier lip parfait in Raspberry Truffle new (unreleased still… you maybe got a press sample?) or do you mean Raspberry Ripple, which is all I can find on every site I’ve checked (obviously, I think it’s very pretty on you!).
I agree that this is a very lovely, understated-but-flattering complete look on you.
It must be Raspberry Ripple, though I have my photo labeled as Raspberry Truffle (and I shoot the labels as a photo so I can then label them properly)… no idea why I messed up so badly. I’m really sorry, Emily!
Thanks–I’m going to get that one!
Hi Christine! Do you think this colour is also a dupe for Cabana boy by the balm? Or are these two very different colours?
