I love this product, it's sad they discontinued it. I don't really like the new blushes they have.

Uups, they discontinued this colour?? I read it here but dont know this b/c I bouht this one years ago, use this nearly every day and still dont have to by new one. I do LOVE this blush. Colour, quality, staying power excellent, wonderful!
I love to use blush with this irreelle from chanel. Before I was afraid to use blush, cause I dont like the clown look, and was having "shaking" hands when using blush, realy, trying to put not to much on and that it looks natural. And only with this it is so much fun to use blush, to see what difference it makes on my skin. I look healthy and young:) with this. And you can never put to much on, because of this maybe some users dont like it, but for me its perfect! I think all the irreelle blushs are like this (a little sheer), so if they disc.this one, I'll buy another colour from this range, never mind. But this colour (a rosy pink) was wonderful too.
It's pricey ok, but I use my first one for years now, and so I think its not to expensive. İt worth every cent!! I would never buy another brand blush than chanel. I throw away all my others.

I own Chanel blush in Secret for almost a year and it has been one of my best purchases ever.Though this stuff is really expensive I have never regreted for bying it.On my PPP skin it looks like a natural flush,it is very finely milled,never changes colour on skin and stays put.Much better texture then Joues contraste and much better effects.I own Dior,YSL but nothing comes near Chanel Irelle blushes

Seriously, the Ireelle blushes of Chanel sucks. They are much sheerer than Cliniques and you need the rub the color on. I will only buy the Joues Contraste line. I am PPP and I looked flat faced wearing this as I always do without blush. They are really pretty in a compact but would only give this quality blusher to some kid to practice with. It is a pink and not especially light one. I have a similar color Chanel Caprice from Joues Contraste line and I dont have this problem with it. Of course this one does not have a rose fragrance which Joues Contraste has. EDITED: I gave 2 more lipsticks because this blush really looks natural on my skintone and does not feel or look powdery.

I love this blush - but they have stopped selling this colour in the UK.

I am a FFF/blue/dark brown and the quest for a blush that doesn't look too orange or blue is settled. This colour looks gorgeous on my skin tone - I wear it for work subdued and out vibrant, as the texture can really be adapted to how you wish. My only woe is the piddly brush that comes with it, is there really any need? I would happily buy this without the brush in the compact.

Please bring this colour back Chanel!

After reading all the great reviews of this blush, I managed to score it off of Ebay for a decent price. I'm a little disappointed--neither the color nor the texture seem particularly special to me--it's just your average medium pink blush with the Chanel logo slapped on it. If it weren't Chanel, I don't think there'd be much hype over it. Wouldn't repurchase, even if it weren't discontinued.

This blush is sheer and extremely natural looking. It imparts a gorgeous glow and it is gentle on the skin-it's not oily or thick in texture at all. Lasts a long time as well! However I am not impressed with the tiny brush that it comes with. Overall a very good product though.

Although this blush looks rather pink in the compact, it really gives a very healthy and natural glow on my PPP skin. You can easily build the colour with a good brush. I also like the elegant black packaging. I will definitely buy it again.

It's a beautifully natural pink on me (pale skin, dark eyes and dark hair). I was wanting a subtle flush to help me look a little less corpse-like in winter, and this is great.
The trouble I normally have with blushers is that they are almost always too orangey on my skin (yes even the very pinky ones!)
Not so this one. A very slight irridescence means the colour's not too flat. In fact Bobbi Brown's Sand Pink is a very similar shade, but more dull and flat.
My only gripe would be: after a few months' use, the surface of the blusher becomes less ready to "give". This is where the useless little brush comes in: it's great for roughing up the surface of the blusher a bit so you can pick it up more easily.
All in all a good natural-looking flush.
Update: for a REALLY natural rosy glow, I much prefer Joues Contraste in Caprice to this. It's a clearer pink, absolutely no peachy undertones, and it's incredibly soft - the powder almost jumps onto the brush! Maybe Secret is better on summer skin, and Caprice on wintry skin.

I bought this based on the reviews on MUA. I'm not really disappointed although not overly excited either. I just don't reach for it much. The colour is great - rosy pink and is well-suited to my Asian skin with yellow undertones (Chanel DPF #60 Secret, LM Sunny Beige) - gives a very natural blush. My only gripe is that it doesn't take onto the brush well. Someone has mentioned that this may be because it is densely packed. You'll need a stiff blush brush. It is expensive with great luxe packaging but I won't be repurchasing.

Gorgeous pink blusher with peach tones, it has a very subtle irridescence which stops the colour from being too flat. It gives my warm ,medium, Asian complexion a girlish flush that is very natural without the harshness of the blue toned pinks ( NARS :Desire) I am wrongly drawn to. Lowering the marks because the compact is rather bulky and the brush useless.

This is so pretty. When I first saw it in the store, I thought it was very nice, but had no idea how beautiful and natural it would turn out to be. I'm between PPP and FFF, and it's just what I've always wanted a blush to look like, but never found until now. If you want a dramatic look, this would NOT be for you. In the past, when I've tried blushes that others have said gave them a healthy flush like coming in from the cold, my cheeks were too pink. On me, this is the perfect mix of delicate and healthy.

I just HAD to have this when it came out. It is nice, but expensive like you wouldn't believe. It's a subtle pink shimmer on me. Nice for spring/summer. I have to say I dislike bulky Chanel compacts in general, but especially with this blush, because the blush fills only half the case. The other half is for holding the dumb little useless brush! No need for all the plastic. UPDATE*****I no longer use this because it got "hard" and I have to repeatedly brush over the product to get any color. What poor quality from a Chanel product!

i finally figured out why they called this blush Secret! it gives a truly natural pink i'm-so-happy glow that comes from within. so unless you tell someone you're using this, i doubt they could tell! i dust this slightly shimmery blush on my nose-bridge and chin, as well as on my cheeks. it's very sheer and buildable, and it's ultrafine. i can hardly see it on my blush brush when i apply, but it's visible on my cheeks. twice over usually does it for me. thrice if i want an obvious flush ;) i love this! i'd consider getting another Chanel blush once this runs out.

This is another blush I was so hesitant to get, because of the price tag. Thanks to MUA, I was able to work out a reasonable swap for one of these. I couldnt be happier either :D

Secret is a light to medium girly shade of watermelon-ey pink with silver shimmer. It looks fabulous on my MMM skintone, and contrasts well with my dark hair and eyes. It gives me a beautiful, natural looking flush that I love. I wish these werent so pricey though, because I'd be willing to get more colors that way..

Perfect. I am SO happy I finally splurged on this beautiful pink blush. Silky, long wearing and just the most perfect pink I have come across, and I have tried MANY.
