Great blush from MAC - bright and true on the skin I like it. Could be a little more package friendly (large) but very pretty and worth the money.

Beautiful! the only product I got from the WW collection. Unlike others I think the packaging is great, it totally stands out in my make-up bag and when i pull it out of my bag people always compliment the colours of the compact. The blush itself is great and lasts forever, I have used it daily since it came out and it is only slightly lowered. Also, i must say that mine travels with me, I have bashed my make up bag on several occasions and been terrified that it will have crumbled to nothing, but MA has stayed perfectly intact! Well worth the money. I also much preffered this shade to the other LE colours this came in.

I was lucky to have found this at a cosmetics outlet. Of course, the packaging is great and i love the wonder woman idea. It's sturdy enough and doesn't feel very cheap, which is always nice.
I really like the two colors that can combine idea. Together, they make a rosyish pink that's very pigmented. I accidentally grabbed too much and almost looked like a clown. Not this this is the blushes fault at all but mine for not being careful with applying. So using a light hand is needed.
It's blendable and by the end of the day, i was left with a light pink glow to my cheeks.
For lighter skin this is a great blush. For darker complexions, you'll have to be careful upon applying/blending. This could work for olive skin tones but for anything darker would be very tricky.
I'm quite sad this is LE but if/when i do run out, I will find a way to buy again.

My newest favorite blush. The colors blend wonderfully, and they're not too dark nor bright, which I love. The compact is super cute, as well.

I selected that I would buy again, but this product although it is not technically discontinued is gone.. sold out. I hate MAC for doing this every collection the best items are sold out and get sold to insiders who can buy 6-8 pieces per customer.. thus leaving everyone else in the lurch.
forget trying to swatch, there was no time... forget thinking, there was no time. These were selling like tomorrow was the End of the world.
and so, I did get mine and it is a gorgeous corally pink but with punch colour and texture.. but the way MAC is marketing is enough to make anyone mad enough to not even want to look at their collections.

It definitely gives my NW20 skin tone a lovely coraly pinky glow! It was an expensive purchase and i was reluctant the first time i saw it in the shop. It was purchased on my second visit to the MAC outlet. After receiving so many compliments, I haven't regretted it one bit.

I love this blush on my NC35 skin.. I love how you get two colors that are big enough to use separately or swirl together. I got both blushes from this collection and i lightly swirl this blush and put it on then take amazon princess and swirl them together and top it off.... it gives my cheecks the perfect highlight, contour, glow and color. Would def purchase a product like this again .... don't think i will ever run out of the huge blush anytime soon tho.

This is part of the Wonder Woman Collection released in Feb 2011. It gives me a healthy peachy-pink blush which is lovely. The mirror inside is a nice touch and I don't really mind the packaging.
However, it can be difficult to pick up colour using my brush sometimes so I have to scrap off the top layer lightly with a spatula and it works good as new.
It's nice to have but I wouldn't repuchase though.

I passed up this product when i saw it at my local mac counter and regret it ever since. Recently went to maccosmetics.com and saw it in stock. grabbed it without hesitation. I can't wait for it to come and i love the colors already!

I was lucky enough to get one of the few in supply before it was sold out everywhere. I definitely love the coral-ish pink color, it goes very well with my skin tone (NW25). First night I wore it out, I got tons of compliments from everyone so glad that it was noticable because sometimes certain blushes don't contour my face the way I would like. After a week of owning it, I accidently dropped it on the floor and it shattered into 4-5 pieces but still works perfectly well! Only thing I didn't like is the chidish WW packaging lol

This is a beautiful blush, but beware that it's insanely pigmented. You have to be careful even when applying with a skunk brush, or you can end up with major clown cheeks. The colour is a satiny coral-pink - you may already have something similar (Orgasm and Coralista come to mind). I think the packaging is tacky, but I'm happy because I scored a sample in plain black packaging from a swapper here on MUA.

Love this but haven't worn it as much as I want as it seems really hard? Like I
really have to smooch my brush and rub really hard to
get any product even with my 109 which is dence as, and it
still doesn't show up and I'm an NW15/20 so not exactly tan, maybe I just got a bung
one...

It was very hard to find this blush because i'm in thailand and it's limited edition. So, i had to order from the internet and finally i got it!!!!
Nice clour and it can blend very well. Not too peachy. kind of soft look.
Like it alot. but don't wanna talk about the package......

Lovely blush! The SA in MAC tried this on my face and I was sure it's perfect peachy pink colour for my fair skin. It gives my face the fresh look and just a sheer glow. You can mix the colours or use them separately. Good pigmentation, but i hate the packaging - I am not a five year old girl...this is tacky. Anyway, I love this blush! It's more expensive than regular blush, but you also get more product. If it's not sold already go and try it!

I do not think this blush is so expensive for the huge quantity you are getting.
After so many problems, time and money wasted trying to find the right products for me, I realised that because of my bad skin complexion and the fact that it is sooo dry and sensitive, that I had to be more selective on blushes.
It blends beautifully on the skin and looks amazing, I am impressed how much it transforms my cheeks and makes them glow and look so healthy.
Of course I love coral/peach blushes and preferably when they add shine but without any glitter, so this one is PERFECT !
Since I got it, I use it nearly everyday, I have bought a backup because I travel a lot and even if I take great care of my makeup, I am afraid it will break or get stollen... or whatever... I feel I need to have a backup, this is a HG product for me and I would be too sad if something bad happens to it...

This was the first thing from the entire WW Collection that caught my eye, followed by the jumbo sized mineralized skin finishes and the lipsticks, but this is the only item that I got from the collection. I bought it for the following reasons:
1. It's LE. Who doesn't get sucked into buying LE items?
2. It's coral. I'm a sucker for coral blushes (and lipsticks!).
3. It's jumbo. It's 2grams more than MAC RIPE PEACH and I thought, "hey, why not?" This stuff will surely last for an extremely long time.
4. The packaging. I'm no WW fan nor am I fond of the (slightly tacky) juvenile packaging. I just thought that it was going to add a nice contrast and variety to my stash of typically black-packaged cosmetics. Also, the included mirror is always a bonus.
Although I have close to ten coral blushes in my collection, I have nothing like Mighty Aphrodite. The frosty bigger part of the blush is a beautiful pinked coral that's insanely pigmented. It instantly brightens up my face with a beautiful flush and imparts a nice glow (applying too much of it can make you look a little too shining shimmering splendid). I never have to bother with highlighter when using it. The smaller part of the blush is the perfect balance of orange/peach, pink and red with a satin finish. Apart from it being difficult to use alone (the area is too narrow for a brush to fit in), it's not as pigmented as I hoped it would be. Nevertheless, the blush taken as a whole is a beautifully pigmented blush that can surely work for a wide variety of skintones. Ladies with fair to light-medium (or even medium) skintones will have to go easy with it to avoid overdoing it.
I won't exactly call this blush a "must have" although it's soomething that's certainly nice to have in anyone's collection. If you're a sucker for corals like I am, snatch it if you still can. It's beautiful, pigmented, blends lovely, lasts all day, and most importantly, almost double the size of any blush I've seen. It's a definite value for your money.

OK, first things first, I bought this online and when it turned up it was smashed beyond recognition inside! I know couriers have a habit of throwing your precious parcels around but then again the packaging isn't sturdy enough in my opinion so that's one lippy down! Luckily the kind people of MAC gave me my money back and I decided to salvage what was left by making a loose blush. As it's now been ground together I can't really comment on the separate layers but together the colour is gorgeous. I really like the gold glint that it has even though application is SO much harder this way - but essentially I got it for free!
Would maybe buy the blush again but definitely won't be buying blush online again!

I swore I wasn't going to buy anything from WW, I bought plenty. No need to go in to the packaging as we all know what it looks like but on the upside it does have a mirror, strangely the MSF's do not. I've read and heard alot of people claiming that this is similar to NARS Orgasm. I have both, I doubted it...but they're right! In the pan Orgasm looks darker than MA however swatching only the lighter side of MA, MA is slightly lighter and a tiny bit more pink, in a side by side ccomparison Orgasm looks straight up peach, MA looks peachy pink. After swirling both sides of MA together, very close to Orgasm but still ever so slightly to the pink side but still that peachy pink even after mixing the two. Personally, of the two, I prefer MA over Orgasm. And although the lighter side is a frost it's not overly so as in it's not like applying an MSF to your cheeks and there's no glitter, much softer of a finish than Orgasm which is chunky? Can a blush be chunky? I don't know...It's not a smooth blush.. As far as colour comparison..they were just swatches on the inside of my arm, so how they translates on the face, I'll check it out tomorrow. I will say that MA swatches chalky but does not apply chalky and for whatever reason the darker side of MA, if you can get a swatch on your finger it's difficult to then swatch that on your arm/hand but it's no problem with a brush, works just fine. It is a beautiful blush, I bought 2.

This is one of the best blushes for me. I love the fact it comes in a compact with a mirror though the packaging itself isn't that great. I went to MAC to buy a blush and wasn't evem considering this one (I was thinking about getting Well Dressed or Pink Swoon) but when the makeup artist tried this one on me I got it dispise the packaging. No joke I use it every single day. Being a super sized product for just a couple more euros it was a great deal. I got this for 24.50€ what is great. I was going to buy Bella Bamba but Benefit blushes here are 32€ and this MAC is bigger. Really happy with my purchase.
