I can say so many great things about "Love Thing", I just don't know where to start. Well, First I definitely am Loving this color. I'm NW45 studio fix or 8.0 in Matchmaster. I bought this after having it applied at the MAC counter in Macy's and i couldn't believe the beautiful look of it.
It brightened up my face and gave me a Fab, Fierce and Flyy "It girl" look.
I will for sure repurchase this when needed. I used to reach for " Raizin' or "Love Joy by Nars" everyday for my blush, but since i found "Love Thing" I don't wear anything else. Ladies, Listen to me TRY, BUY, BUY, BUY, TRY, BUY!!!!!!

Extremely pink! no matter how little i use i end up looking like a clown!
Seeing all the good reviews - I'm going to give it another go

I'm an NC 35-40 and Asian, so my yellow undertones don't lend well to pink/red blushes and I tend to stick to coral/peach cheek color. One day at a MAC store, I figured what the heck, I'll ask to see what options I'd have as far as pink/berry toned blush. The MA recommended this and I argued with her about how dark the color was and I really didn't care for the sparkles. She was very patient and yet insistent that I at least give it a try. Boy, I'm glad I did because this just gave me such a natural rosy glow that you wouldn't expect from the pan. It's very pigmented so I apply with a very light hand, but very blendable so you don't look like a clown! I like using a mop brush to apply this to the apples of my cheeks, then blend with a skunk brush. I recommend this for people like me who've shied away from pink blushes for fear of looking like I was playing with my mothers makeup.

I have Love Joy and I LOVE it. I thought I was ready for brighter colors so I ordered Love Thing. It was just too bright for me. I'm not ready for such an obvious blush. I have Love Joy and Sweet As Cocoa and I love those 2 but I haven't reached the bright pink blush stage yet. I'm NC55 for the record.

this is so nice, and i love to were it with a just about any thing im on my second one now

I never noticed this one until yesterday. It definitely looks like something I would wear.
It is really bright, vibrant burgundy pink color. It's beautiful but it is bright for an everyday blush or I would wear very little of it. I would wear it out at night or to contour with a lighter color. I'm glad I bought it, good to have.

This is one of the prettiest blushes I have tried so far. When I first saw it, it did not grab my attention. I dislike burgundy colored blushes I prefer hot pinks. So my sister purchased it and I decided to b sneaky and try it. OMg!! It looked sooo dark when I opened it up I kinda didn't want to put it on anymore but decided it wouldn't hurt to try. So I put it on lightly on my hand first and found it was really heavily pigmented which was great. So I put it on lightly on my face and it looked sooo great! It was so pretty on my face ( I'm nc 35) and even better with my dark red diva lipstick from Mac. I will definitely purchase my own

Love this ish! so pretty. On my caramel complexion this just screams pretty. It works amazing on tanned complexions and im sure others who are not if done right with the right brush and application. I use my 187 alone and/or sometimes the 168 and just buff it out with the 187 as it is heavily pigmented. Looks great with pink lipsticks or nude colors. I recommend for all to try!

i am in love with this blush! this gives me a really pretty pinkish red to my cheeks and is great for everyday. the only downside is it is $22.00 and has 3g while the regular blushes are $15.00 and the have 6g. but other then that i love it.

This blush looks so amazing with a tan. It gives that wash of color that looks so healthy. It's kind of a raspberry/burgandy color tha has a sheen to it. It isn't glittery at all. Love it. UPDATE: Have been using everyday for a month and have had compliments on it at work. Long lasting also.

This blush looked pretty intimidating in the pan, but it is beautiful on.

I am fair (NW 20 for reference) and used to stick mainly with pink blushes but after using this I prefer reds. Apply with a light hand (a little bit goes a long way). Will definitely repurchase when I run out. This has become my favorite blush and I wear it almost daily.

OMMMGGGGG!!! Finally found a blush that I LOVE!!!!!!! NW45 here and this blush right here is FIERCE . .. .. this is an absolute MUST COP for WOC!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

I love this blush, it is the perfect shade for a night out (and I have very fair skin, mind you!). I love the gold in it. Perfect! I just wish it was bigger for the price :(

I love this blush!!! If you have warm skin then you must run out and purchase Love Thing! It looks dark in the pan but is sooo bright on your skin. As others have said - must be applied in coats to avoid looking like Bozo's cousin. I use a stippling brush to apply and it works really well. On my skin (NC43) it gives a warm, girly flush of colour that brightens up my whole face. And the best part is that this blush has staying power! It lasts from 7am to 5pm with minimal fading. Since I use so little at a time, I doubt I'll ever have to repurchase but if for some reason I run out of it - I definitely will!

love love love this blush. i applied with a stippling brush, for a light flushed look and it was amazing on my skintone.

This blush is definitely for the females that have that pretty tan/darker skin tone because I looked like I was crazy when I had this one (I applied Mac 116 with a very gentle hand) It is very pretty but not for fair skin tone.

I Love This Blush....Hands Down 1 Of My Favs...Its a gorgeous Deep But Vivid Burgundy sans Any Glittery Particles....almost sunburned w/o the ouch....WOC...BUY BUY BUY......what...BUYYYY!!!!

Very dark and scary in the pan but if you use a very light hand its a very beautiful reddish color. I really like to wear this with fresh Moroccan lipstick, and I like the gold lustre in with the red.

Okay, okay...I have to totally reverse my initial review of this product. I wanted so badly to love this beautiful reddish pearl blush that I over dramatized its effect and functionality for me. Although I keep it nestled right beside all of the blushes I use every day, I just can't use it with any success. It is too bright and too glittery for my complexion. Could be I am too fair, or too old or just not talented enough to work with it right but honestly I am a make up addict and just can't make this a go for me. Currently trying cream blushes in the hope that they will be more blendable? Takes a strong constitution to brave this one!

I bought this when I could not get my hands on the elusive "Conjure Up" blush from the 2009 MMM holiday collection. I had seen pictures of "Conjure Up" online and I thought that "Love Thing" might be similar to it. Well, now that I have both blushes, I have to say that I ended up liking "Love Thing" better. It's a gorgeous bright raspberry shade with golden shimmer. You have to be careful and use a light hand when you apply this because this blush is so pigmented! I have to use a very soft blush brush that doesn't pick up a lot of product so that I won't overdo the color. Contrastingly, "Conjure Up" doesn't show up as well on me because it's rather sheer, and it doesn't have any of the pretty shimmer. It also contains plummy tones, making it more cool-toned than "Love Thing." I wore "Conjure Up" during the wintertime when my skin was super pale, but now that summer is approaching, I reach for "Love Thing" a lot to give myself a bright flush of color.
