I was so excited when this collection came out! Even though it was a bright pink, the blush looked natural, blended well, and had a brightening effect.

Got this with the fafi collection, only started using it recently. A little goes a long way. You only need to dab the brush very lightly. Love the color. What can I say, if I ever finish this one I wouldn't mind get another.

You gotta love the To The Beach line, and this was a fabulous component. A flattering pink-coral blush. Careful to use a light hand, though, or you could end up with REALLY rosy cheeks! Looks nice paired with MAC Refined Golden bronzer. I'd repurchase if I needed to.

I'm an NC 35 and love this color, a peachy coral color with no shimmer. It looks very natural on and i would say it's medium pigmentation. If it came out again with another collection i would buy again, however it is LE. Staying power is good fades a little bit but never completely gone by the end of a 12 hr day.

There was such commotion over this re-release that I thought I had to have it. I randomly found it recently at a CCO and was very disappointed. Pigmentation stunk and it was not very unique AT ALL. I have a couple in my drawer currently that are similar, if not prettier. Again, not that big of a deal. If you missed it, you didn't miss out too much.

Very pretty color - love pinky-coral blushes, they work well on my NC25-30 asian skintone. Of course the MAC To the Beach packaging is cute too!

If anyone is looking for a drugstore/cheap alternative, Ulta's blush in Heartbreaker is a pretty close Hipness dupe. Slightly pinker, but I doubt you can tell the difference once it's blended on the cheeks.

RIS- I have the one from the beach collection. I love this blush, beautiful peachy coral color. My skin tone is NC30 ish, asian. I was afraid it would be too frosty, but that doesn't seem to be the case at all.

Hipness is a very pretty summer blush. The color is stunning, unfortunately Im giving it 3 lippies only because the color fades and has a tendency to streak, too bad because it truly is a beautiful shade.

I just found one of these on ebay. Wasn't exactly cheap but I'm glad I got it. What a beautiful color blush!!! It's a coral pink color with a touch of slight shimmer. Not too much. I don't like too much shine to a blush. So pretty!!!!

I got this in the To the Beach collection and glad I did. It's a very nice blush! It's a pretty subtle coral-pink color. I dust it on my cheeks and it stays put. Very pretty!

I really like this blush. A lot of people didn't find it appealing, but I love the color and it's different than the permanent items on the MAC counter. It gives me a really nice flush of color for the summer. I wish it wasn't limited edition.

I purchased this blush with the Fafi collection and completely forgot about it for months.

After seeing swatches for the To The Beach Collection, I fished it out of the back of a drawer and has been my go to blush all summer long.

It is a pinky coral shade, with finely milled gold shimmer (the kind that, if any, will give you the faintest sheen or glow: there are no chunks of glitter here). It's not overly pigmented, but it's also biuldable, so you can go for a subtle effect or pack it on for a more dramatic result (at least for me: for reference, I'm a NC25-ish).

I love to top my Nars Turks and Caicos Multiple Tint with a light dusting of this blush, enhancing the tint and sealing it, so that it will last all day long on my cheeks.

I'm answering yes to the Q about if I'd repurchase (if it is ever repromoted) but bear in mind that this is not the most unique shade out there, so not to worry if you've missed out on it.

PS: prefer the To the beach packaging to the Fafi one, but I'm not too picky about that.

This is a really cute coral-pink colour, but I find that it's not as pigmented as I would like. I definitely have to load a lot onto my brush to get a decent amount of colour (but then again I like to put a lot of blush on lol. Nonetheless it's a really pretty colour, and the texture is nice. It has a minimal amount of shimmer, just right.

I got this in To the Beach. This product is LOVE. Gorgeous color. You can make it really bright or apply it with a light hand. Either works!

I was so hyped when I heard this blush was coming out, I got it in the "To the beach collection". I can't believe how fast it sold out. It's a gorgeous coral pink shade with flecks of shimmer in it. I use a light hand on my NC40 skin, and it's perfection! Def one of my fave Mac summer blushes, the packaging is super cute too! I would re-purchase if it came out again in a heart beat!

This blush surprised me with its color payoff. I applied it inside, then when I went outside and checked out my reflection I felt like a clown. It screams CORAL and must be applied with a light hand. I was a little disappointed, and wanted it to be the gorgeous glowing coral I imagined to be, but it just wasn't. The texture also isn't up to par with other MAC blushes I've tried.

this is a very strong coral in the pan, but dont let that scare you! its not very pigmented at all. even when i use my 109 i have to swirl it in there for a while before any actual product gets on it. but when its done right, its the prettiest blush everrrrrr. (: just wish it wasnt worth so much of a hassle to put on.

I really like how coral-y this color is, and the color payoff is very nice. It looks good on my very fair skin.

Fantastic! Agree with all who say that you need a light touch. When the MA put it on me in the store I looked like a clown and my visiting mother asked me whether I had a fever when I applied it too heavily myself.
That said, it often makes you look flushed in a good way that also lights up your eyes.

At first just seeing Hipness in the pan, I was afraid it would be too pigmented and would therefore look clownish on me. Boy, was I wrong. With a light tap of my 129 brush, it gives me a rosy-cheeked look. I love it!
