This blush was a bit blah on me. Possibly because my pores tend to be large and this blush accentuated each one. Looking at it in the pan, it looked nice enough. For daytime, this was awful on me: I tried it at night and it was a little better by candlelight. I don't care for the muddy tone on my mid-range, yellow-undertone skin. This, combined with the oily shine the blush has due to the addition of Mica particles, looked very unflattering on my complexion. (Each pore looked as big as Brazil!)


** HOWEVER, if your complexion is fair and you are blessed with near-flawless, poreless skin, this blush could be extremely flatttering as the texture is fine and it blends out beautifully.

I got this from CVS on clearance for $1.99. It's a very pretty raspberry-rosey color. I have to use a light hand when applying it but it looks quite good on. Reminds me of my MAC Mineralized Blush in Gentle but with far less shimmer. Gives me a nice subtle flushed look that is very flattering. I would buy again but since it was LE I doubt I could ;)

Sheer very shimmery blush that almost looks like a duochrome, if you hold it in the light this way and that it appears to change from mauvey rose to warm golden plum. Generous double size (0.33oz or 9.5g), and the large mirror I can do my makeup in. L'oreal started the Hope series of color products around 10 years ago to support (OCRF) the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. This year they're donating a whole $5 per set sold (contains a makeup bag, lipstick, blush ect). Pretty color, but I think the shimmer is too intense for me.

Just got this online, and I love it! It's perfect for my C3 skin, looks like my natural flushed color. It also seems like it would work well for fall and maybe even winter in addition to spring/summer. The smell is nice but not as good as baby pink or front page peach. But I adore the color! Would definitely buy again if I run out and it's still around.

This is the 2007 LE - with Penelope Cruz. It's a beautiful, highly-pigmented blush. Must use a light hand. Blendable. More of a berry blush - quite like the lipstick. Just doesn't suit me because the reddish hue in this berry makes my undereye circles look worse.


That being said, it's a very good blush.. just not for a cool-toned CCC like me.

I finally got a few L'oreal blushes in a swap after searching for a while. We do get some L'oreal blushes here in Belgium but the colors are very limited (only 5 to choose from), no LE, and almost no different colors that they update regularly. I already had 1 which I liked very much and after getting some more in a swap that feeling hasn't changed a bit.

It was a big surprise for me that when I opened the package those blushes come in a bigger pan than those we get here. They are almost twice the size.

As for the color itself, it is 1 of the most wearable colors I had, it looks a bit dark in the pan but you can apply it as sheer or as dark as you want.

This is a big Yay for me!!!

Me: LLL NC/W 20ish. Pros: Pretty neutral plum pink colour with subtle shimmer. Nice texture, smooth and relatively longlasting, especially compared to high end blush. Great price (picked it up at a cosmetics clearance for a few dollars). Good packaging, plenty of room to swirl your brush in. Cons: Limited edition - boo! Overall, a nice winter-y colour blush for my light olive skin at a great price. Get it if you can.

Really pretty warm rosy-raspberry color with a small amount of very fine shimmer. Not berry enough to be plum, not rosy enough to be red. Just right in between. Rosy-Raspberry. Warm and luminous. Looks very dark in the pan, but goes on skin as a light and sheer berry-rose color. Very pretty! 5 lippies!

This is a great neutral color that would look good on many people. It does have that L'Oreal/Delice smell. I find myself reaching for it when I'm in a hurry and just have time for foundation, blush and lipstick.

For the most part, I don’t really care for drugstore blushes, but I heard this limited edition L’oreal blush was universally flattering for most skin tones and it was of wonderful quality so I was lucky enough to swap for it. It’s a dusky rosy mauve color with satin-like finish and it applies to a wonderful natural-toned glowy fluster upon the cheeks – very complimentary for my warm medium skin tone. Doesn’t look garish and packs enough punch (pigment) to liven up my face. The only slight problem is that in direct sunlight, the “sheen” is kind of overbearing, but that’s pretty much the case with most blushes with shimmer. This blush pairs well with basically anything, so I guess it is pretty darn versatile. The staying power seemed to be great as well. I don’t really care too much about the smell. Fragrant blushes seems kind of odd to me, but eh, I like this blush. Yes I even sometimes use it in lieu of my beloved NARS blushes sometimes. I wish this was a permanent color, but no biggie, doubt I’ll ever use it up. Nice sturdy packaging with a mirror too! Too bad L'oreal decided to get all plastic and cheap on us! This blush rocks!

Well, I really love the shade. The smell is nice but not very useful.
The only thing I really wish it to be shock-proof. Mine broke several time (the package is resistant but not the powder inside).

This is hands down probably one of my favorite blush delice! It comes in a generous mauve mirrored compact and smells sort of like the colourjuices. The shade itself is a dusty mauve-y rose with slight silver shimmer. If applied with a heavy hand this looks a little ashy and fake on me, but if applied lightly, it looks so natural and gorgeous on my yellow pale skintone! would totally recommend!

So pretty and so glad I swapped for this! It's a silvery mauve/plum shade that goes on lighter than it appears in the pan. Really great for the day time and for that touch of healthy, your face but better glow. The smell is lovely, too. Why can't L'Oreal make this part of its regular lineup?

This is a beautiful blush. In the compact, the color is a ruddy plum that shows up on my NC40 skin as a gorgeous muted plum with subtle pink shimmer. I'm really amazed this is a drugstore item! I received this as an extra from an extremely generous MUAer. Too bad it's LE and I believe no longer available... I would buy a back up of this color. Now, I own over 90 blushes and am not one for backups of blush, but this is one I'd have!

The color is beautiful and is easily buildable and exceptionally blendable.

The compact is large and easily fits the head of a blush brush to pick up color.

The price is unbelievable!


I have nothing but raves for this blush!!!

I thought that only pink blushes are for me. I received Color of Hope like a RAOK from a fabulous Mua-er. I just love this color. I'm blue eyed, warm toned LLL and it makes my face glowy and sophisticated far more that all my pink blushes. Plus it gives me cheekbones. It goes great with Sugar Plum e/s from Mary Kay plus UD Heatherette l/g. Long lasting, pigmented, blends on easily, overall wonderful blush. Probably my HG.

Considering this is drugstore, I am pleasantly surprised about this blush. From the pigmentation to the colour to the sheen, it is a pretty berry with a slight tinge of pink and bronze undertone. Though it is sheer and allows for easy to build up on colour, the colour is definitely there when you swipe the colour on. As for the lasting quality, I wore it out one night and it was still there 4 hours later and giving me a warm sexy wintery glow. I had no major problems with the scent or blendability of this blush. Considering there is a good cause behind this, I'd recommend on it on it's own but the blush colour is really pretty and very wearable.

Beautiful color. Scent is a bit overpowering. The one thing I want to know, if they had an entire Ovarian CA line, why did only some of the proceeds from the lipstick go to charity? Something from everything should have gone to charity. That was disappointing.

This is a great berry blush for the Fall and Winter. I've been using it with my plum or sheer berry lipsticks and it works very well (I'm a warm/neutral PPP). The brush it comes with, though, deposits too much color in an obvious streak, so I just use my own blush brush. Lasts all day, too.

This one didn't work well for me. This doesn't look like much in the pan but on the cheeks it is a plummy raspberry-pink with shimmer. I am used to well-pigmented blushes but for a drugstore brand this did fine with layering. I liked this when I first applied it at 7 am but by 10 am it had faded into a streaky and uneven mess on my combo skin. I didn't notice a scent. I like that it benefits breast cancer research but otherwise would not purchase this one.
