I love this. Great blush without the sparkle and shine. Plus it lasts forever. I'm still using the the one that came in my original kit which I bouht 6 monthes ago.

Well I absolutely love Warmth and Flowers, so when my friend gave me this blush I was looking forward to extra supply of my favourite glow secret...
However it is not for me. I think it broke me out, but surely that wouldn't make sense if I never reacted badly to their other products..?? More to the point, it does not last as long on my face, it fades right off- Again, doesn't seem tp make sense against others right? Very confusing.
The comfort is that in any event this colour does nothing for me: it's sallow, flat, mauvish and plain- generic. It has none of the vitality of Warmth or the cheek popping gorgeous Flowers.
Shame really. Oh also, I got the small pot of this (must have been part of a set) and wheras my other pots are always threatening to fall on the floor and spill their entire contents, this one is so small that clearly a brush will never fit and the accident is literally inevitable. The whole lot crashed onto the floor- horrific mess! I still have a little left, and the great thing about BE is that a little will last a few months. However I prob won't use it. It's just boring and mediocre.
Sort out the packaging folks!

I don't get on with all the BE line but this is a winner for me. I've been using it as blusher for nearly a year and its a nice sheer pinky red - just the colour I really go when I blush. NC20
It has no discernible glitter or sparkle just a nice sheer matte with a hint of glow!
Lasts forever!!

I love the BE line, and i guess u can say that i am a fan of the whole mineral make-up craze. I find that glee is a nice, subtle colour. Instead of wearing glee alone, i like mixing a little bit of glee and bare radiance(adds a little shimmer) together, which gives a nice healthy glow.

This is one of my HG blushes. It's such a pretty pinkish color and it really compliments my skin tone. I'm not usually a fan of the BE blushes since they can be a little cakey, but I've never had this problem with Glee. I always get compliments when I wear this because it makes me look like I have a natural flush. I've even gotten my mom hooked on it and she usually hates powder blushes, so it must be good!

I really love this product from BE. I don't have a problem with the new BE packaging, with the sifters. It's a huge improvement. I have a new Glee that I purchased from Sephora, and also one I bought off of Ebay new in packaging, but it is without the sifter and has the old font on the sticker. The new packaging is much better. I use Glee primarily as a blush, but you could use it as an eyeshadow, too. It's a very pretty medium rose/mauve/pink color with a hint of brown in it; it's not muddy at all. I would consider it more cool-toned, but I'm a MAC NC30 and it looks great on me, as does Benefit's Dallas and some other cooler toned, yet still neutral enough to be wearable, blushes. You get a lot of product and don't have to use much, for your money. A very healthy looking blush. No sparkle or shimmer in this one, really. Edited 5/08: This is probably still my favorite BE blush, and if I run out of the two I have I might seek it out again, but I am in love with etailers mineral blushes more, like Alima, Everyday Minerals, and Fyrinnae and I think they are more reasonably priced and you get much more for your money with them.

It was pretty nice, good color and all that, but I have had bad luck with BE in general and I am so over the whole powder-swirl-tap thing. And I'm not crazy about the loose powder aspect- I find it messy.

A very pretty rose that flatters every skintone. It's scary in the jar, but you only use a little. This is a blush that will last you a looong time. It's very natural looking.

I have been looking for a good, natural looking blush for a while now. I was using LORAC's sheer wash in sheer emotion (which I absolutely LOVE) but a recent pregnancy has left me with uneven dark spots on my cheeks and the sheer wash just makes them look darker (and messes up my concealer) so I have had to give it up until my spots fade. Glee appears to be the perfect solution. I have tan/olive skin and this color is perfect. I've never been a fan of plum blushes and so was leery of trying this but it complements my skin and really does seem like I'm naturally glowing/blushing, which honestly surprised me. I'm not sure I would use this as an all-over face powder (which is how it's marketed) but as a blush I think it's great. I will continue to use this after my spots fade and I go back to my LORAC for a little extra oomph or finish. The only drawback is that it will wipe off if you get sweaty ,and even if you don't it is not as long lasting as some other BE products (like their blush). This is, of course, where LORAC's sheer wash has the upper hand as that stuff will last through anything. Still, I like glee and think it's a good product---I put it in an empty mineral makeup travel brush/container I have so I can touch-up when needed and am much happier than with once a day application.

I am very fond of Glee; it is a staple in my makeup bag. I use it on cheeks, temples and chin and once a male colleague of mine remarked that I looked like I had gotten some sun, which made me happy as it suggested a natural look (n.b. I am super-pale and never tan!). It's a good buildable color and the price is reasonable considering the generous amount. I have also had problems in the past with blushes breaking, and this one doesn't b/c it's in loose form. However, I have to take off one lippie because the packaging, as others have remarked, is very prone to spillage. I have also noticed a couple of whiteheads on the right side of my cheek and I'm wondering if Glee is to blame--even though it purportedly doesn't make you break out. Nothing like Bobbi Brown though, whose color I loved but which made me break out instantly. More likely, though, it's just that I don't wash my brush enough. So until I find something better, Glee it is!

Love it. My favorite blush to date. You only need a little bit so this product is going to last a very long time. Nice pink color that seems to make your face glow. It's absolutely worth a try!

I am SouthEast Indian and have an olive skin tone. I do not like Glee for my particular skin tone. If you have olive skin tone, stay away from this blush. It's too pink for me. I love everything else in the Bare Minerals / Bare Escentals line, however this blush just doesn't suit my skin tone.

This gives me a little flush and color. I have been pale and tan at different times of the year and it is never to heavy for me when I am pale and shows up well when I am tan. I have even dipped my lip balm in it and used as a lipstick. I am in love with all BE products!

I really like this as a blush and it's quickly becoming my favorite. It glides on very nicely and provides a nice soft glow. I would, however, recommend a good blusher brush for ease of application. The color is a little darker than it's marketed to be but still nice overall. A little of this will go a long way and therefore, this should last a very long time.

It's absolutely worth a try!

I actually got it as a sample off of Ebay along with clear radiance, warmth and true. Although I fell in love with True, I discovered Glee as being a pretty decent eye shadow when I want something on the pink side. I'm Asian on the fair/medium end of the spectrum and it looks pretty cute against my skin tone. A tiny bit of eyeliner and mascara and some lip gloss and I can leave the house.

OMG! This is such an amazing product. Its matte,which is unusual for a BE product. It looks like the exact color I blush when I do blush. Its so natural! This is my HG for my cheeks!

I like this, but I don't love it, yet. I'm still trying new ways to use... and I think I'm on to something. If I use it, with a fan brush, after warmth and before "lovely" blush, then it really adds something to my face... but If I use it with a blush brush, it's just not a color that I love.

I do have to say that you get your money's worth with these products though... I will never use this entire container!

i use this as a blush and i love it. its the perfect mauve color and looks so natural on my super pale skin. i don't notice any shimmer in it, but at the same time, it provides a great natural luminosity. it does have a nice amount of pigment to it, so if you're pale like me, you'll only need a little bit. overall just a great blush.

I love Glee. I have always had a problem with blush. I couldn't find the color to best compliment my skin. I also could not find the best to apply it so that it looked natural and flattering. This all over color is great. I only use it as a blush. It's so natural looking. It goes on so easily and you don't have to try hard to get a good, even application. A little goes a long way. I just couldn't rave about it enough.
