i bought this last year when i had a really good tan. The color is way to dark for me right now. It blends out well with smooth application. It's starting to dry out a little in the compact. the only reason i would not repurchse is because powder blushes seem to work better for me.

I got this blush in Mauve light and have to say it is pretty good. It gives a suntan glow that looks healthy. I paired it with Petunia blush by Stila and it gives the perfect summer glow that I like so much. Would repurchase even though, like all makeup that works good, is kinda expensive.

I love this blush and what it does to my cheeks. It's very easy to apply and blend. I own two colours: plumlight and cocoalight. Too bad that it's discontinued and hard to find.
I still can't believe that Estee Lauder didn't decide to do a comeback with this product. I will keep my fingers crossed.

This product gives me cheekbones! Easy to blend, stays on all day - what is not to like? I have this in pinkshimmer and it really works on my cool/neutral skin.

I love the texture and packaging of this product, I just don't like all the shimmer! I was expecting this to be a little more opaque in colour and more pearly than shimmery, as I got the pearl colour, but it's not. When applied, it's sheer and shimmery, really good if your looking for that effect, but I wasnt.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Plumlights -- awesome color... and the only color, of any blush, in any formulation, that is the right color for my skin. It's a plummy mauve, but it has a slight soft neutral brown undertone, which is really unique. You can just use your fingers, but I find that an inexpensive foundation brush from the drugstore or Target helps it go on just a little more evenly and helps it look even more dewy. I find it lasts all day for me, but some people use a little neutral powder underneath to help it set. Edit (3/20/07): It appears this has been discontinued in stores, but you can still get it online at gloss.com, which is good news. If they discontinue this online - it will be one more thing I send to 3 Custom Color to replicate for me. Pretty soon, I'll only be getting my makeup from them, since everything is being discontinued.

I got this in a swap, but it is in a compact with two other lip products (pallette) and this color is a very nice shimmery mauve on my NC15/PPP skin. At first I thought it was for the lips, so I put it on and thought it was too dry and frosty, but then I saw on the back it was for cheeks. My mistake. Looks nice and dewey on my cheeks. It also smells like raspberry!!

Best texture, hands down, for a cream blush - like suede, reminiscent of CK's sueded lip tints of yore. Dries to a powder finish. Berrylight appears a warm brown-based pink in the pan but on my LSF5 skin, gives a very natural, rosy glow. No shimmer. Perfect for spring. I don't usually buy Estee Lauder but am impressed with this product. One lippie off for lasting power about ~3 hours on my oily combo skin; I'd recommend setting this with powder blush - I use Nars' Sin.

I had gotten this in the pink shade and it wasn't quite right for me so I kinda gave up on blushlights. I was getting sick of all of my peachy-pink blushes and wanted a change so I thought "hey, why not try a different shade of blushlights" based on the good reviews. I got the berry color today and it is so pretty and natural. It looks kinda boring in the pan but on the cheeks it looks very natural. I'm glad I got it. It does highlight the face nicely and blends like a dream. Thanks for the recs MUA!

I love these! So blendable and such a wonderful natural flush is very easily achievable.

I was not familiar with Estee Lauder products, but got this in a sample size. When the sample was gone, which rarely happens in my case (because booths typically give out unpopular colors and shades as samples), I bought it. I love it. I have the honeyshimmer shade, and it goes great w/ my pale skin, hazel eyes, and blonde hair. It is impossible to put too much on and look made up -- which is not the case for my other favorite, Nars cream stick blush, which is easy to over-apply. While I like both the E.L. and Nars cream blushes, this E.L. product is my preferred for mornings when I am always in a rush to get out of the house and don't want to risk asymmetric blush or too much blush.

The very faint shimmer is a plus too, and I like the fact that I can apply w/ my finger instead of a brush.

Well, I cannot believe that I would love Estee Lauder blushers so much. I have bought hundreds over the years , in all textures, but when it come to cream blush I think this is the absolute zenith! Previously I have really liked Paula Dorf's Cheek Cream, Kevyn Aucoin's Moist Creamy Glow & Maybelline's d/c Express Blush in Mauvy (my favourite) as all three have wonderful textures & great pigmentation. However, my kind sister sent me 7 shades (this product isn't available in the UK ) of Blushlights and they are fabulous, they look really nondescript & boring in their cases but once you apply them they are simply awesome. The texture is a super light cream to powder that applies evenly and is very sheer ,so they blend beautifully and never look harsh or fake. In fact mu novices will appreciate these as it is almost impossible to go wrong with them they look so natural , and this is from someone who tends to be rather heavy handed with blusher. If you like subtle but polished cheeks do check these out, they make me look so healthy in a non-obvious way. I particularly like the slight sheen sheen they impart due to the ultra fine irridescence- no obvious chunks of glitter here, just a beautiful interplay between soft pigmentation & light, my favourite colours are Berrylight- cool toned pink, & Honeyshimmer- a very warm, terracotta tinged brown.

This is my HG blush. I have this color in Berry Light and it gives a very natural, even glow to my skin. This is the first time in years that I have ever completely used up a blush. It does not break out my skin and when my skin is flakey in the winter, it does not emphasize the flakes. This blush has pretty good staying powder, about 6-8 hours. I can't wait to try this in other colors!

This is decent, but a bit too unnatural for day with all the shimmmer. Would be great for going out though! EDIT: The packaging on mine broke at the hinges. Has this happened to anyone else?

I love this blush. It gives me a nice glow, and goes on really nicely. You can't really overapply like you can with a powder blush, so it always looks good. It lights up my whole face and even though I have oily skin it stays on all day.

got this in honey shimmer. LOUSY blush, WONDERFUL highligher!!! too much glimmer in it to use it all over the cheek--people with cheeks that already pop beware! would buy again, but probably won't, as this stuff takes forever to use up.

BlushLights promises to illuminate your cheeks through an interplay of light and shadows....well I thought that was just advertising nonsense and bought this with fairly limited expectations. BUT after I swirled on a few dabs of Berry Light this morning my face actually looks different (as one poster mentioned before). This blush "brings out the cheekbones you never new you had," just like Estee promises. I am a blush addict and I've never noticed this effect before.

I've tried cream blush from Paula Dorf, Lancome, Stila, Clinique and others and I must admit that the texture of Blush Lights blows the others out of the water. It is so silky smooth it feels weightless against the skin & blends beautifully. The colour selection is limited but versatile - even the one shade I tried, Berry Light, would look wonderful on many skin types. Lovely compact too- very classic.

This is my first cream blush ever, and I absolutely love it! I got it in PinkShimmer, but I may have to go back for other shades. The texture is devine, and the colour is unbelievably flattering. It really livens up my lifeless/pale/blah/winter skin, and is virtually goofproof to apply. The end effect is a very natural glow. Thumbs up from me!
