This one was actually my first Flirt blush purchase. I've been looking for a natural, shimmery (but not glittery) warm pink blush. While this particular shade might have more bronze in it than I had anticipated, it's pretty much a "no brainer" shade for me. I can apply a little for a natural flush or apply more heavily for an overall brightening effect without looking like I am running a serious fever. I'm not sure if this is a dupe for NARS Lovejoy, but I would describe Caramel Belle the way NARS describes Lovejoy: a bronzed rose. I think this will be one of my staple shades since I'm NC30 & golden-toned. I could see this flattering tons of skintones though!

This was my first Flirt blush purchase. The color Caramel Belle appealed to me in the pan as it appeared to be a pinkish bronzer shade that would look great with a suntan. I was right. This is a high quality, very pigmented shimmer blush that gives you a lovely glow from within look. Surprisingly, it looks as good with a summer tan as it does on my winter N30 skintone. I will definately repurchase if the pan ever runs out.

A pretty good dupe for Benefit Dallas powder. Only this shade won't work for everyone because it's not really a pink or peach. I think it's lovely on medium-tan skin. It has so much shimmer in it though that you should beware of that when taking pictures or being inside and going outside... it will show up.

I just got this blush after reading the reviews on here about it and also online research. It's been compared to NARS LoveJoy. Well, I don't own LoveJoy, as I didn't want to splurge just yet. So, I went to Kohls and checked out Caramel Belle, as well as some other FLIRT blushes, and I figured I'd give it a try. Verdict: I can dig it. I'm an NC45 in Mac and this color does look really nice on my skin. The packaging is a little weird, but, the product itself is good. If/when I run out, I'll definitely buy again....if I don't get LoveJoy before then! :-)

I like this blush. Gives a nice glow. It lasts all day. I love blush in this color range cause they really warm up my face and I look all glowy.

I bought this on a whim at Kohl's one night and I have to say it's a really decent blush for the price. The packaging is a nightmare, I just don't understand the concept of pulling something out then flipping the lid up, it's just annoying how all of their packaging is like that. However, the blush is a really nice color. It reminds me a lot of Dallas by Benefit but with pretty gold shimmer that's not overkill. It gives a healthy rosy glow to my cheeks that looks great on this NW25 skin :)

This is absolutely a lovely shade for my skintone of NC40. Affordable pricing, a little annoying packaging, fairly pigmented colour and needs couple of touch ups during the day. Overall, I like this blush, lightly shimmery unlike many others blushes I have tried that leave shimmer on cheeks and color fades away. No such dramas with this blush.

I bought this after reading it was a dupe for Chanel's Tempting Beige blush. It's a bit pinker than TB, which I like. Truly a gorgeous blush. It's a silky, well-pigmented shade of pinked beige/ light tan with soft iridescence. It shows up very well on my NC35- 40 skin, unlike Laura Mercier's Crushed Hazelnut and Lancome's Miel Glace (two shades similar to this). Very long-lasting. Quality-wise, Flirt blushes are right up there with the best of them (Chanel JCs, NARS). This shade really makes cheekbones stand out; it's a fantastic color on its own or used for contour. Gave it a 1 for the clunky, crappy packaging. Will repurchase despite this.

Totally awesome blush! This is the best quality blush I've ever used by far. And for the price - it can't be beat! The pigment is quality, long-lasting -blush rarely makes it all day on my face- but this is the best wearing yet. Subtle shimmer, nothing glittery/chunky, and it's all finely milled. The packaging is a little bit clunky, but not bad enough to not buy this.

I plan on buying Heartthrob next! Which looks to be the near-equivalent of Nars Orgasm but with finer shimmer.

This great blush only costed me $12 which is great for the quality. It's very pigmented and soft. It's a bronze-like shade with a hint of shimmer to it. I don't like very shimmery blush so this containts just the right amount of shimmer. It also looks very natural on my NC42 skin with yellow undertones. It's perfect for an every day, neutral type of look. It can look muddy so using a light hand and a good brush is key. I would definitely repurchase this despite the awful packaging. There's a lot of sliding involved and it's just a pain to open/close this. I hardly ever complain about packaging but this one is just horrible.

And for those of you who don't already know, Estee Lauder owns Flirt.

I LOVE this color on me, it is very natural and gives me a glow. Caramel Belle is a light brown/pink color with shimmer in it. I deducted a lippie because of the stupid packaging. I wish it would come in normal, circular packaging. It is very pigmented and can be compared to MAC and NARS.

i RIS after lemming for it and i couldn't be happier! i usually don't apply blush but lately, my foundation makes me look so BLAH that i started to put a little on =) i don't like bright PINK colors on my asian yellowish skin tone and i don't want to wear my bronzer for everyday work makeup. this is a PERFECT in between and the color is really beautiful and natural looking.

the packaging is a little bulky and takes up a lot of space in my makeup bag but it's what's on the inside that counts =)

Def. HG status for me. I *almost* swapped it away because I thought MAC Sunbasque would do, but alas...sunbasque doesnt give me as much of a color pay off as this when worn alone on my NC45ish skintone. This makes a gorgeous bronzer/blush when I apply it on my cheeks, forehead and chin. The name describes this blush's shade perfectly - a caramel/bronzy shade with subtle shimmer. I wish there was a way I could take the pretty blush out of the ugly and inconvenient packaging. It's just too much work, but I've gotten over it. I will repurchase this over and over when I run out. By the way, I have a pic in my profile wearing this. I'm a GGG/CCC, NC45.
UPDATE: Going on 2 years and I've pretty much discarded other blushes but kept this one. This, and MAC Peaches, are the *only* 2 blushes I can wear without foundation, just on top of my moisturizer. It's perfect! I've tried pulling this off with so many other blushes and honestly, Caramel Belle is a tanned girl's gift from the stars. It's just plain gorgeous...the perfect blend between a bronzer and a blush. Love love love.

I think this is a beautiful shade. The blush is very pigmented but you apply it with a light hand and it is fine.


I think the packaging is very annoying, though because of the whole sliding and unfolding mechanism.

Love the color, but PPP beware...it is very pigmented. Use with a light hand. It is a bronzey color with a little shimmer. I use it under cheekbones and then put a little All Dolled Up on the apples for a pop of color. The packaging is a pain, first slide then open...BUT I love Flirt blushes and this one is a great one for just about any skin tone.

This blush is very pigmented. & It's true that it can be easy to overdo and make your face look almost dirty. I don't even bother with the little brush that comes with it. I use my fluffy Sonia Kashuk blush brush so I am able to sweep just a little color on. Not my favorite Flirt! blush but still nice.

My HG !!
Would have this product on my desert island if I could have only 3. Add this as blush, or as a shadow for your eyes. Color is perfect and non glittery. Shimmers ever so slightly, imparting a sexy healthy glow. It works well with Smashbox shimmer highlighter.
Would buy again in a heartbeat!

Thought this was going to be too dark for my NC15 complexion but with a skunk brush&lots of blending it's perfect.Appears in the pan as a dirty pinkish brown but goes on this gorgeous rusty slightly bronzed rose shade..reminds me of MAC So Ceylon skinfinish without the glitter..Warning though unless you have medium to dark skin you need to use a skunkbrush&BLEND..this blush is highly pigmented so it's very easy to overdo it.Even with the skunkbrush I had to go over it with powder to tame the color down and make it wearable.but the outcome was worth the extra work:)

This makes a gorgeous bronzer/blush when I apply it on my cheeks, forehead and chin. The name describes the brush to a T. It's a caramel/bronzy shade with subtle shimmer.
