Love the concept, twist and swirl applicator, blush inside the blush cap. Very handy for handbag and touchups, i can't imagine how i will put my blush brush into my makeup bag to go out because its too large and the blush powders will leave everywhere with stains. I highly consider i will re-use this applicator brush (just the brush) in my MU bag in future, so i don't need to put my regular sized blush brush in.

One thing i complain is that the brush is hard to get product from the cap, and the blush is not really pigmented, you have to close the whole tube and swirl severly the brush side to get any blush powder on your brush.....=.= awesome concept, but can have better product quality and designs.

The concept here is a great one. You twist the brush part while you pull up and boom, blush on the brush. The brush is soft and the color is blendable. I like the small brush because it is good for control over product placement. The only issue is that sometimes the brush can pick up too little or too much product, but it's not a big deal. I picked this up to have something easy and small to toss into my makeup bag on vacation. This is not my favorite blush, but is very convenient.

To be able to apply powder rouge, you need a brush. Therefore it's convenient when the brush is in the package =) This has a sweat-resistent formula, that's why it lasts a very long time on your cheeks. It will make you glow, literally. Lovely product! Would buy again!

I love this! I bought this blush in Minute Mocha, which is a soft, natural-looking browned pink. I love the blush, but I love the applicator even more, with its built-in brush. Its perfect for touch-ups during the day. Not only will I repurchasem, but I'll also buy this in other shades. It was part of the Spring 2009 collection, but I hope it isn't LE - clinique has a real winner here.

I got this in "Peach in a Pinch." The color is a warm, terracotta mid-tone peach with a bit of shimmer. On my cheeks (NC20-25), it just looks like a straight up peach, not too brown or too orange.

The packaging is quite innovative because one of my personal pet peeves is having to clean my blush brush every time I change colors. This prevents that from happening, because it has its own dedicated brush. And, unlike those Barbie-sized brushes that come in the flat compacts and give you streaks, this one is actually full-sized and very usable. Also, as the name implies, it is very quick in the morning -- just twist, open the brush, and apply.

As for product size, this does have a teensy bit less than, say, a MAC compact (I think it's like a 0.3 oz difference) -- but for the convenience, it's definitely worth it. I did take off one lippie, though, because the blush, though a pretty color, does fade a bit throughout the day. Ah, if only NARS had something like this. (NARS is one of the few blushes that doesn't fade on me!)

Overall, I would like to try the other colors.

I love this blush!!! I am very fair and the 04 shade in-a-rush-blush looks very natural. It dispenses nicely and is very handy to carry in your purse. I do miss the nice green plastic cases though from the Clinique of days gone by. The silver they use now just looks awful after you handle it a few times. Shows all the finger prints!!!

i got this in "in a rush blush". I love the color. it's a soft neutral pinky plum tone, very pretty. It contours my cheekbones very well!! It does give you the right amount too. But in the beginning it didn't because you had to get through the first layer of the powder, but after that it's perfect! To get the powder on to the brush, just twist it as you pull it out of the cap, and there you go, blush on your brush. very simple and fast. The brush actually feels very soft, and if you're finish with the blush you can keep the brush as a travel brush!! it comes in 6 different colors including this one. $21.50


pronto pink <=== i want next !!
berry on time
peach in a pinch
minute mocha
hurry honey
in a rush blush

Update: I still love this blush, perfect for traveling...and i actually want PEACH IN A PINCH soooo bad now. So i'm going to wait for the next GWP for it =)

Wow this is the cutest product ever! I bought it just for the heck of it because I had some free bonus bucks to spend and I didn't need a blush but now I am glad I got it!! At first, I did not know that the blush was in the lid and I thought I had to shake it to get the powder to come out. You can only imagine how stupid looking that was. I looked in the lid and I was like "wow"! It is convenient to use and to take on the go for touch ups. The other reviewer explained well how to use it and I do think it is just normal blush also just in a cute package!! I got the color "Minute Mocha" and it is very natural looking and buildable. I love the brush inside! It is so soft and deposits the perfect amount of color! I am looking forward to getting more of these!

I bought this from QVC who had "first dibs" on this product. The color is "In a rush blush", a pinky rose which on my neutral brunette skin is very pretty. The blush is in the cap of a broad cylinder housing a twistable brush in the opposite end. You twist the brush end and blush is deposited on the brush which you then twist up for application. I love the the width of the brush and the color, but the product is truly nothing special. Clinique makes, in my opinion, one of the finest powder blushes and this certainly compares. I like the brush part of this item better than the item as a whole. When the blush color is used up I will ceratinly keep using the brush but purchase the conventional blush as a flat compact.
