For those who prefer their cheek colors on the cooler side, today’s edition features cool-toned options for blushes with a more luminous sheen (see yesterday’s warm-toned picks).
Nice list! Again, I love these because they jog my memory and force me to dig through my stash! I so love Plumberry and Head over Heals and Gypsy are going on my wish list for after the Holiday madness! 🙂
They work that way for me, too! I’m like, “Oh, yes, loved that, and that, and that…”
Nicole, if you want Becca Gypsy blush, it’s being discontinued everywhere. No longer at Sephora or Ulta. Christine says only Lord & Taylor has it. I grabbed mine today (along with Damselfly another disappearing one), 6% cash back at Ebates, and L&T has 10% off using code FRIENDS
Oh no! I’ll have to check it out when I get home in a bit. Hopefully, they have Gypsy left. Damselfly looks really pretty too! I wonder what going on with the Becca blushes?!Thanks bunches Katherine!
Thanks again Katherine and Christine for the notice on these going away!! Thanks for the discount tip Katherine! I wound up going for the same two you got, Gypsy and Damselfly. I was just going to get Gypsy. But , paying shipping forced me to,buy another, lol. I hope they are just repackaging or something.I’d like to see them in a “poured ” or liquid version since Becca does those so well!
Glad you were able to snag yours! I did the same thing LOL . I only intended to buy Gypsy, but didn’t want to pay for shipping, so I got Damselfly too. Oh well, both are pretty, and you only live once, so might as well live it up. I ordered mine yesterday, and it already shipped today (wow)
I remember seeing Becca Gypsy on your blog and cringing to get it. A couple weeks later I first saw you post it, it was started to not being sold by Sephora. Ulta continued to sell it but a couple weeks more, and it was gone EVERYWHERE! that is the perfect pink blush for my liking and I couldn’t find it anywhere after that. I am not a blush addict but that was way too depressing for me 😀
Lord & Taylor still has it! I don’t know what Becca is doing to their blush range!
Thanks for the tip! I just ordered Becca Gypsy and Damselfly (another color that is disappearing) from Lord & Taylor. Ebates is giving 6% cash back AND Lord & Taylor has 10% off, using promo code FRIENDS, so 16% off.
Thank you for telling us that Becca Gypsy is in stock at Lord & Taylor. I’ve been wanting that blush for so long! I just ordered it.
BTW, through 10/27, L&T is having 10% off cosmetics with CC FRIENDS, and if you have ShopRunner (which I get free with my AmEx card), you get free 2 day shipping.

Oh, I forgot to add the extra surprise bonus that came with my purchase “Shimmering Skin Perfector Opal Mini Deluxe Sample 10ml”! Woo Hoo!
Whaat? I’ve been eyeing Gypsy forever, can’t believe it’s disappearing. It is SO pretty
I have CP Monster, UD Bittersweet, and Clinique Pansy Pop. I love them all, but my fave is Bittersweet. It goes with so many purple lippies
Bittersweet is such a great shade! 😀
Wow!! They all look beautiful!
Thanks!
Was gypsy discontinued? I can’t find it anywhere.
I feel like I just bought and reviewed that one, but now the blush range on Sephora is very different it seems like… but then the range seems inconsistent from retailer to retailer. Lord & Taylor still shows Gypsy in stock.
Go to Dermstore. It’s always there. CameraReadyCosmetics has it as well.
I’ve got to get Pansy Pop! Posthaste! I’d have to put MAC Full of Joy on my list.
You do!! 🙂
MAC Full of Joy is fantastic – I wear it all the time! Had been searching for a TRUE lavender blush (had tried one from Nars that turned pink once applied) and it hits the spot. Curious as to how it compares to the Clinique, but I’ve still got so much left that I’ll probably hold off until I hit pan.
Full of Joy also looks GREAT, imo, with ColourPop Monster layered on top. Sooo icy lavender and shimmery!
I got Clinique’s Fig Pop on your recommendation and am super-pleased with it, but now I see I need Pansy Pop too!
Btw, have you heard/read anything about Too Faced’s upcoming “Love Flush” blush palette (6 colors)? Thanks.
So glad you love Fig Pop! I haven’t heard anything from Too Faced yet!
Mmm, UD Bittersweet! That one and Laura Geller’s Plumberry are very high up on my “wishlist”. Bittersweet is everything that I wanted CP Rain to be, but Rain let me down. But when the SA @ the N. Scottsdale Sephora applied Bittersweet, it looked purple without making me look ashy or strange. Still loving VP Monster though!
*CP Monster, not VP! LOL
Plumberry!! I die for the Laura Geller Gelato finish!
I love that you always give us separate posts for warm and cool shades. I like your choices, I have Pansy, and it’s very nice.
Isn’t Monster a highlighter shade? From the photos it seems so light that it wouldn’t even be suitable for a blush on the fairest person. One of these days I’m actually going to place a Colour Pop order, and Monster is on my list.
Monster can actually be a blush depending on your skin tone 🙂
I love Bittersweet to death. I think it’s the best purple blush ever: It stays purple-toned but has just enough pink to keep me from getting “corpse face.”. I have Pansy Pop and CP Monster, too. I wear Monster as a highlighter. Pansy Pop is my favorite lavender blush. I find a lot of lavender blushes are too pink or too light.
It is one of the best at the very least! 🙂
I treated myself to Plumberry this summer as part of my birthday haul. So glad I got it. It’s a great color and product.
YAY!!
I have Bittersweet and Berry Pop and even though I don’t wear ’em THAT often I do like them both.
Glad you have ’em!!
The IT cosmetics blush looks gorgeous
Those IT blushes are SO nice. Wish they had more shades!
I have Berry Pop, which I love. Head Over Heels and Gypsy are quite tempting!
Berry Pop is so nice! I’m glad you have that one 😀
