I bought this blush from a CCO and fell in love. I used it religiously on a daily basis for a long time and stopped using it, but now I have rediscovered it again among all my makeup.

I bought this blush from the OCC at my outlet store. This is great blush for light to medium skin tone. I'm in between NC30 (winter) to NC35 (summer) and this blush looks great on my skin. The color pay off is great and shows nicely on my skin. The blush is buildable.The only down side of this blush is a little too shimmery. A great dupe for this blush is Milani - Baked Blush in Dolce Pink.

Good God MAC THANK YOU!!! Why do I love this blush so much? Because I love PINK and I love Mac's mineralized blushes so I am in heaven with Love Rock! I think it's really unique because the only other pink Mac mineralized blushes i can think of are Pleasantry & Two Virtues! Two Virtues comes in 2nd place for awesomeness but Pleasantry had like zero color payoff! I tried more than one Pleasantry blush to make sure I didn't have a bad one & maybe it would show up on someone with super pale skin but for me it did nothing =( I literally have 5 back-ups of Love Rock which I'll probably never really finish one anyway cuz I have a million blushes but this is my favorite by far!!! Beautiful color, just the right amount of shimmer, and boy do I get a ton of compliments when I wear this over my Chanel Turbulent blush =) I will always swap for this lol!!! I know I'm such a freak for wanting more but what can I say I wanna collect them lol =)

This is one of my favourite mineralize blushes from MAC.

Its not too glittery which is good, as some of them can be OTT on the glitter and that leave you looking like you borrowed your 12 year old sisters make-up! When your 28 thats no good!

I find that any glitter can be buffed away with a kabuki with this blush.

Quite long wearing- and thats saying something as I usually have trouble getting any blush to stay on my face for more than 2-3 hours, even MACs normal sheertone blushes, but this lasted pretty well compared to others I have tried

I also LOVE this blush (esp the veined side) as an eyeshadow for a pinkypurple/gold look- try it - see what I mean

I LOVE the colour...its a really girly, light rasberry kind of pink - really looked good on my NC35 skin tone.

So wish it was not LE, but as many of MACs lovely products it is! Never mind...I will have to use this sparingly. I would repurchase if i could.

If you get to buy one or swap for one, do as its a LOVELY blush and the pics dont so it justice!

Generally I don't like using shimmer for blush or bronzer, and this was kinda of a mistake for me to buy it. Although it is a beautiful pinky color with half of it as a highlighter, its too shimmery for me and I rarely use it.

This blush is a very vivid blue-toned pink/raspberry color with TONS of shimmer. I have used this for several days and at first it's almost too much, but as the day wears on it looks great without being over the top. At the end of the night it looked like the perfect flushed cheek for me. I just swirled my brush then applied. Great blush. I would def repurchase.

Love it. Don't really need to say more than that. It truly is the perfect flushed, light, cute blush color. I would recommend this with colorful eyeshadow. It looks a little odd with neutral colors; at least on my very fair skin tone. I think the price is fine for how long it will last. I would definitely buy it again if it wasn't limited edition :( I was lucky enough to find mine on an online sale. If you can find this somewhere, BUY IT!!

This is one of the prettiest blushes from MAC. I luckily got from an awesome swapper for my NARS deep throat, so I think we both got a nice deal.
Love Rock is an LE mineralize blush, one side a blue-toned shimmery pink, while the other side if a marble of gold, violet, and pink shimmers. I like to use the violet side as a highlight sometimes, but both sides are amazing. Love Love Love.

I am pickier about blushes than any other makeup product. I'll love it in the store and hate it at home.

There are two reasons I love this blush:
-it is the perfect natural 'flushed cheeks' pink on my fair skin tone
-it has JUST the right about of shimmer that creates a beautiful highlight on my cheek bones.

In the pan, it looks like a blindingly bright pink, but when applied, it's perfect. Very smooth and shimmery, but not too much for my (oily) skin. Another mineralized blush is coming out in an LE collection soon that I'm hoping is comparable to this so that I can have a dupe in my collection if/when I run out.

This is a very beautiful blush that i just picked up from my local CCO for $20. It is a very bright pink color with a beautiful highlight color on top. IMO, NYX has a very similiar color without the shimmer called Pinky which is just as nice if you dont love shimmer on your cheeks. Overall, I wouldnt buy this again because i dont think ill run out, and if i do..i can always use pinky :)

Pretty blush, but way too shimmery and a little gritty. It's a very cool and happy pink, but I don't find it unique or a must-have. I rarely wear it, and will probably end up swapping it away.

I have always been a warm colors only girl, but I fell for this one hard. It just looks so beautiful in the pan! I would describe it as a cool toned raspberry purple with gold shimmer. This is way too purple toned for my skin and it just doesn't work unless I have a lot of makeup on. When I am getting ready for a big night out I usually reach for moon river or daft pink instead of this one because Love Rock does go on very pigmented and I don't want it to compete with the smokey eye makeup. I think this would be lovely on someone with cool undertones and light eyes, but it just doesn't work on me even though I will probably still keep trying because it is so beautiful. P.S. - It looks like the last pic is the most accurate. It's very bright!

A beautiful, cool toned lilacy-pink. I happen to love the golden shimmer that it has. I picked it up at CCO and went back to get a back up because it's that pretty!

This color was way too violet toned for my NC30 skin. Might be nicer on someone with pink undertones.

mac nc40/42, c40

i dont have any pink blushes. i saw this blush at my cco and decided to purchase it. at first, i thought it wouldnt show up on my skin but it did. a nice pink shimmery glow. as the hours go by, there is shimmer everywhere. i find that love rock has more shimmers than the other grand duos that i own. even with very light application, my brush seems to pick up the shimmers.

I encourage everyone to check their local CCO because these have made their way to mine :-) I passed this blush up (and the others) the first time around because I was so indecisive and I thought they were a little pricey. Even when I bought this at the CCO, I felt a little guilty about buying it since I am supposed to be saving to buy Christmas gifts for other people. But anyways, I'm in love with this!

I only have 7 or 8 blushes and feel that the ones I have are kind of repetitive but I'm still glad I bought this. I'm not going to bother trying to describe the color but it's pretty much exactly what I was trying to achieve by putting MAC's mineralized blush in "Daft Pink" over a matte pink blush. This is pink and sooo glowy I love it! I'm trying to hold myself back from going and getting the rest of these !
