This is a very pink (almost hot pink) coral blush. It is extremely pigmented, nice and silky, and easy to apply. Don't apply too much because it can easily look clownish! I did like the silver bejeweled packaging, although it was very hard to open and the clasp was super tight. You get a pretty good amount of product.

This is a shimmery, peachy colored blush. It is very pigmented and you can easily pick up too much on your brush is you are not careful. A little goes a long way. When I apply this blush to my cheeks, it also doubles as a subtle highlight too. The packaging is pretty and girly, but sometimes can be a little hard to open at times. But all in all I really love this blush. Perfect for a beautiful, peachy glow.

This product was originally $25 but I got it on sale. Sephora will no longer be carrying Tarina Tarantino so a ton of her stuff was put on sale. I read lots of reviews about the blushes from temptalia and oh my gosh.


IT'S AMAZING. Finely milled, so pigmented and lasts for a good 8 hours on my skin. I have terribly acne prone skin and this doesn't bother it one bit.


Parasol comes off as a lovely coral sheen on my skin. It's like a mixture of MAC's Springsheen + NARS' orgasm to me. I'd actually pick up Parasol over Orgasm any day because of the pigmentation and overall formula. Buttery smooth, love it!


A warning with the packaging - for some reason, a few of my blushes from this line are so difficult to open! I found that I had to wedge a small flat top to open it like a crow bar or a lever. It sounds annoying I know but after a few times of opening and closing it in that fashion, I managed to weaken the clasp so I can open it normally with no problems.

On my skin, NC30, this shows up just like chanel blush horizon de chanel. If you missed out on that blush this is a good dupe and cheaper alternative. I have them both but i dont regret getting the TT because i love the shade so much it will be my back up and i just love the packaging of both blushes.
Pigmentation: This shows up a beautiful pinky coral shade without looking too bright or distracting.

Packaging:I am so glad i bought this now because i didnt like the earlier pink and silver packaging that reminds me of toy makeup. I love the gunmetal finish, it reminds me of burberry gunmetal packaging but it is not heavy not heavy like burberry. Its plastic but it doesnt look cheap and its very sturdy and classy looking yet still girly because of the crystal studs around the top.

Longevity: im really impressed with this, ive tried tarte blushes and they last a very long time but they fade at the corners over time while this does not. I think it fase evenly without leaving a weird blush shape on your cheeks if that makes any sense.

Cons: i wish there were more shades like a pale pink.

Overall, i love it. It worth the price because not only is the product good quality but the packaging is lovely and if i ever hit pan or if they come out with more shades, i will definitely repurchase.

This blush is of superb quality. The blush is very fine and is prone to have a lot of powder flying off your brush when you swipe, but the texture is very buttery and smooth otherwise. The color is perfect for me, I describe it as a medium warm pink-coral with fine shimmers. It is very flattering and gives perfect flushed cheeks. I love the pigmentation. I also love how the shimmer is very fine and just about the right amount, so it does not accentuate pores or dry skin textures. The lasting power is more impressive than my NARS, MAC, and Tarte blushes.

I love her blushes!!!! im addicted to blushes, I use nars, stila, tarte, make up forever, BB, Laura Mercier, Dior, Mac and many more but this is im my top 3 favorite. They have a lot of pigment and the staying power its awesome!!! The only bad thing is that they dont have many color options. I have all her colors and they are all so beautiful.

This blush is very highly pigmented, so definately be weary of how much you're applying! (I almost always put too much on...)
The colour is a lovely pink with some shimmer that gives the skin a bit of an ethereal look, while still being fairly natural looking.
I have had this blush for probably 6 months now and I have not hit the bottom of the pan, and I use it everyday. This stuff is worth every penny.

This is one of those colors I feel would suit anyone. A corally-pink with fairly subtle shimmer. Very flattering, blends like a dream.


I read the reviews below and became interested in this blush. I passed on it at least three times at various Sephora stores after seeing it in person, thinking, "it isn't THAT nice." I'd always end up thinking about it afterward so I went ahead and purchased it my next trip.


AND GUUUURL, I'm glad I did. This isn't just a flat color. It adds a GLOW, almost, as if the color on your face is radiating from deep inside your skin, and not just sitting there as a stale powder. This is one of those blushes, however, that powders up a lot with a few strokes of a brush. You can get a lot of product off with minimal effort. Be gentle, or prepare to waste a lot of product.


Packaging is cute, girly. I've never been turned off of a product for packaging reasons (because the aesthetics are really just no big deal so long as the product inside is quality). The compact is a little "tight" and has to be pried open.


Overall, yes, yes, yes. Try this on your skin before making any quick judgements.


Wear it well, ladies. :)

Packaging is sooooooo cute. And the colour is very very nice too. It makes you look like a porcelain doll :) defnitely a very bright medium pink with shimmers. But beware, it's SUPER pigmented!! Make sure to use a very light hand or a very fluffy brush. I probably will not repurchase because the price was effing RIDICULOUS. I think it was more expensive than a Nars blush. Blaah. Oh well.

The color of this blush is the perfect pinky coral color - more pink than coral - richly pigmented, and blends nicely over powder mineral foundation. I applied with a Mally powder blush and blended easily with a dry sponge. My complexion is light, and this gave a great pop of color without being too vivid. the blush stayed true to color through the afternoon. Despite what people say, I actually like the flashy compact - it looks great on my makeup table. Looking forward to buying more colors.

Unbelievable. One of the few blushes that makes my cheeks GLOW, not shimmer or glitter but GLOW. It's also extremely fine milled so it literally melts into your skin and it doesn't look like blush. One of the only blushes that lasts all day on me. I'm shocked and in love.

I can't rave enough about it!

Beautiful pinky coral. I'm NC20 and this doesn't look like Orgasm on me, it's more vivid and more "coral" where Orgasm is more light peach and almost frosty. Maybe on darker skintones its similar but not on me. I've been using this blush for a couple of months now and really like it. The color is true and buildable and it's nicely pigmented and doesn't streak at all. The lasting power on this is phenomenal (MAC blushes last about 6 hours on my combo skin for reference). It has a soft, smooth shimmer to it and thankfully the sparkles I see in the pan don't show up on my cheeks. This is a fantastic color for summer. I wish TT had more shades to choose from as this was the only one that caught my eye.

This is my first TT purchase and I'm here to tell you that it is absolutely stunning. I purchased based on Sephora's description of "shimmering bright pink coral". This is less glittery than NARS Orgasm and has a brighter, more alive pinkish tone. Just enough to capture your attention. Smooth application/blending, excellent pigmentation and really cute packaging. This product is a bit pricey (less the lippie), but I truly prefer it over the NARS blushes that have been my HG. So there! I hope others enjoy this as much as I will!

BTW, why us this brand still filed as Unlisted? She needs her own category! :-)

I really love this product the packaging is like so pretty and feminine .. The color is so pigmented and gorgeous just a tiny bit goes a very long way .. silky smooth to put on and blends fabulous.. either over powder or liquid foundations.. stays on me forever and does not fade.. I am close to nc20 very fair.. but have seen on darker skin tones and still is flattering .. I would say this is more pinky with a touch of coral undertones .. I truly recomment tarina's blushes !!!! though they are a tad expensive I feel they will last a very very long time ..
