OFRA Ollie Need is Love Blush Review & Swatches
Ollie Need is Love
OFRA Ollie Need is Love Blush ($29.00 for 0.35 oz.) is a bright, orange-coral with ultra-fine, gold pearl throughout a more matte finish. The effect of the shimmer gave it a more satiny look when applied and buffed out on my skin, but it didn’t seem shimmery to my eye, very “my skin but better” in its glow.
The texture was soft, smooth, and finely-milled without being too firmly nor too loosely-pressed into the pan, so it picked up well with a brush (though one might use a lighter hand with it) and blended out easily. It had rich coverage that stayed on well for nine hours before fading a bit.

Makes me think of summer! And freshly picked peaches, too. I’ve got to remember how much I loved this one come April or May.
I looked up OFRA’s blushes because you gave this too-light-for-me shade an A plus. Ulta has one shade available! Only other U.S. site is the Florida-based OFRA which has tons of great looking shades but an outdated site that’s not helpful at all. Then checked physical locations in the Bay Area and there’s none in San Francisco. Mostly based in low-end malls in out-of-the-way areas. Christine, what’s the story here? Thanks!
I bought mine from OFRA’s website!
IKWYM. Their website is pretty dreadful. Just looked: Pretty sure I did not see this one, nor the small godet palette ?5. That one looked excellent, but I have one or two of them. Just when I think a product has been d/c’d, up it pops. Plus, they redo the product placement on the site too often. Kind of like hitting the back arrow on Sephora and all the products are rearranged? O, boy, does that PMO. Big time. At one point, Ulta’s price point was significantly better than the dedicated website, but now….. Ofra has comfortable LLs, too, in, at least formerly, a great range of colors.
I didn’t think I would like this from looking just at the oan. It seemed too orange for me. I was so very wrong. It’s wonderful.
