This is my favorite blush I use everyday right now. I got it from a swap, so glad I did. A little bit powdery but you don't have to use a lot of product in order to show up, so a little goes a long way. This has a slight frost in it, actually I try to stay away from frosty and shimmery blushes - I love natural looks- but it is not an issue with Giggly. I love the design, the heart. I love everything that comes with this blush. If you have a cool skin, try it. NW20 for referance.

I had to get this on ebay as it was limited edition and it's already gone. Unfortunately for me, because I really love it. It's not overly pigmented so it's almost impossible to overdo it. It has enough microshimmer to add some depth but once applied you can't see it at all. On my NC15 winter skin, this is a very natural-looking medium-toned true pink. In the pan it looks a bit dirty and mauved (the center heart is mauve), but when applied it almost has the tiniest hint of coral to it. Just enough that it looks natural and not overly cool which is good because with my yellow undertones, I can't do really blue-based pinks. But it's a fine line and anything slightly peachy makes me look sallow. Giggly is the perfect neutral. Sonia Kashuk's Flamingo is an almost-dupe but Giggly has less warmth than Flamingo and less brightness. It is a special shade and I hope they bring it back as a permanent color. Now I'm off to eBay to search for a backup....

Another limited edition MAC product I am left dreaming about. I have never loved a blush more than this. NW25 with black hair and green eyes and it was the perfect pink, lilac color. My daughter got into and ruined mine, I went back and they were sold out I could have cried. The most beautiful blush ever, I can't rave enough about, I hope one day my beloved will come back,

This blush is from the Quite Cute Spring 2011 collection. This color is GORGEOUS on my skin!!! I have blackish brown hair, very warm yet light brown eyes bordering on amber, and NC25-30 (winter)- NC42 (summer) skintone. It gives me the most lovely glow. I love this blush so much I have one in my vanity and in my carry on makeup bag for touch ups. Which is why I gave it only 4 stars, I need to touch up because it is not long wearing. Not that it claims to be but, I love this color so much I want it to stay on and be vibrant all day. It pairs nicely with Gem of Roses lipstick from the Semi Precious 2011 collection. I would repurchase but it's LE. But I'm sure MAC will bring it back in a future collection, and if they do, I will repurchase.

I wanted to buy well dressed but when I saw this one I just have to have it.It gives you a really nice pink glow but not too much. Just right amount.I really love it. I'm nc 20 so for lighter girls can't go wrong with this one. You can build up color as you want.Maybe it is tiny bit powdery but it's ok. Go for it!!

I bought this the first day it came out and have been using it everyday! I wanted a pink blush (NC-42 for ref) that would not come out peachy on me, like most pink blushes tend to on top of my bronzer. This is a subtle pink that can be built up, I love the way it makes me flushed. I think the lavender in the middle really helps to make it more pink, it's not chunky or glittery just glowing! I hope I can find a dupe since all my faves always tend to be LE!

Unlike Miss Behave, I do have to be careful applying Giggly to avoid looking too pink -- when overdone, it looks red, like sunburn. It's so pretty, though -- it leaves a lovely pink sheen on my cheeks. It's a neutral pink but probably leans more toward the warm side. I love the purple heart embedded in the blush, too -- it was a really cute idea (no pun intended).


For reference, NW5-10 (NARS Siberia, etc.).

Cute cute cute. I was skeptical about getting this but after I did I definitely didn't regret it. It gives my cheeks a nice glow and isn't as shimmery as past mineralize blushes I use, which I like because those shimmery blushes just made me look oilier and shiny. I love the little heart in the middle. Overall, definitely recommend this blush.

It's so amazing. First, i bought it because of cute tiny heart inside. But I use, it makes me excited by a light pink. It really is the color that I've searched for a long time. I love it very much

This is such a pretty peachy pink blush it does have quite a bit of a sheen to it, but I love that! It has overtaken my favorite MAC blush which is pink swoon, but if you use a light hand this will layer well over another blush or creme blush. I bought this and Sakura because they both looked too pretty to pass up, I don't regret it because Sakura is really beautiful as well. If you can still get your hands on this I would not pass it up! and if you can pick up both blushes. :)

I really like this blush, and I didn't think I would. Actually, I wasn't going to purchase it because I don't need another pink blush. I purchased Sakura, which I like, because it was a unique color. I actually went back and ordered this on a whim. Total impulse purchase, but I'm not sorry. This has been my Go-To blush the past couple of days. It is so easy to apply and blend. I read where people have said this is powdery, and I don't find overly powdery at all. It's also a lot less frosty than the old Mineralize Duo blushes (i have Hang Loose). It's a tad powdery, but that's not an issue for me. I've worn this lightly for a light pink natural looking flush, and I've also worn this build up for a bold pink cheek. Very versatile. Love the formula. Wish these were permanent. I find myself using this more than Sakura, which is surprising. Definitely pick this up while it's still available.

*edit 4/25/11: I find my self reaching for this a lot. It's the perfect shade of pink, and I love how soft and blendable this is. It applies to easily with my Ecotools Bamboo Blush Brush. This is my favorite blush right now. I just love the formula. I haven't been reaching for Sakura that much because this one is more wearbale. It can be worn with more versatile looks.

So pretty and wearable on my NC35 skin. when i swatched it at the store I didnt think it would show up well on me and I was hesitant to buy it. The MA assured me it would show up nicely and she was right! I love how its not as shimmery or god forbid glittery as most of the mineralized blushes that i have til now. This is much less shimmery, which is good for my oily skin and large pores. If you pick up the heart when swiping with your blush its more shimmery, but still not OTT or obvious.
The wear is great, as with most MAC blushes
Like others have said, it is rather powdery but I can handle this and all in all its a lovely blush!! If you are olive like me, dont be too scared that it will not show up or not suit, give it a try.
Finally- the collection is aptly named, but i wish the packaging was something special, they could have made it super cute, but oh well...
Shame its LE, but I would re-purchase given the chance
Hope this helps!

Wow use a light hand with this color. the MA used it on me and while it looked nice under the store lighting, when in daylight my cheeks looked hot RED and glittery. I guess it is nice if you want your makeup to look "done".

I like this blush..don't love it because I have an HG already. If you swirl around the heart you get a pretty light pink that isn't crazy. If you swirl with the heart, you get the pretty pink with a nice sheen to it. I must say though, I bought this just to look at. LOL

At first I thought it was rather gimmicky and boring, but now I think I may need a back up of this. On my NW20 skin, it's a very pretty pinked plum with a slight sheen. It really makes my cheeks pop without overdoing it. Very pigmented. Like other bloggers have said, it was kind of powdery but c'est la vie.

I was drawn in by the packaging, shame on me! I only bought this due to the really cute design on it. However, personally, I do not like how it looks on my cheeks. I'm NC20 and IMO it's too cool-toned on my cheeks - perfect if you want that slightly barbie-pink cheek, but I don't like it. I also don't like that it's slightly frosty.
Very pretty design though :(
