I had to visit 3 different MAC stores to find either one of the Ombre blushes. finally I found one that had both and had to go back and forth between Azalea Blossom and Vintage Grape (I'm NW15, warm undertone) this blush looks darker in the pan however is heavily pigmented so applied lightly it gave me such a lovely unique look. you really do get 2 or 3 blushes with this one and can easily be used for a more dramatic winter/fall look. the shimmer gives my cheeks a healthy glow without going overboard which I like.

comparing it to Azalea blossom I'd have to say it's warmer and will give you a more dramatic look so I use it more in the evening when going for a formal event. I thought the price with a bit much but the pan is alot bigger then the usual blush so it'll last, and you really are getting more then one colour. I like it alot but not sure I'll need to repurchase anytime soon

I was really excited when I say some of my top Mua's using this, so when it went on sale finally I flew to my Mac counter to get it =]. I love the color payoff but it was a pain to get the lighter of the colors to even swatch at first, it had a weird film on it that I had to gingerly scrape off. It only took a mim amount of the prodect off but still if I'm going to pay that much for it then it should work the first time. Sure I most likely could have returned it but with my Mac counter being a good distance away it was easier for me just to fix it. Over all I adore the color and need to go pick up another one before it sells out.

Beautiful color, perfect for fall/winter if you are going for that plum cheek. For ref I'm NC42 and well.....this does not show up on me. The darkest color is gorgeous for slight contouring but the rest I have to really pack on. And it also goes on my cheeks very uneven, this is the only MAC blush that does that. Overall, it's okay, it's a really pretty color but it's probably gonna collect dust on my dresser.

Nothing like dirty plum blush!
You get three unique blushes in one! A soft lavender highlight, purple contour, and all over cheek color!

I think this is possibly my favourite of the Spring Colour Forecast Blush Ombres. I bought this, Ripe Peach and Azalea Blossom, but actually nearly didn't get this because I thought it would look too dark on my fair to medium skin. However, the truth is, this looks just right while Azalea Blossom looks too pale and cold. You do need a light hand when applying, but it's not that tricky and it looks great.

Since it's a huge size and LE, I'm pretty confident I'll never repurchase it, but I'm happy I got it in the first place!

I love these powder blushes from MAC. It was released this Spring for their Spring Colour Forecast Collection.

Actually, they have four from this collection but I only bought 3. Azalea Blossom, Ripe Peach and Vintage Grape. I didn't buy the other one because the color doesn't suit me. It is a yellowish color, which is perfect if you're trying to achieve a nude / bronzy look.

As I have mentioned from my previous blogs, I love MAC's powder blushes. And this is no exception to that. In fact, this is better than the normal ones.

Why? Well, the fact that they are bigger than the normal one makes it longer to finish. It comes in a bigger packaging, the one that are used for the pressed powder compacts. Plus, it comes in two different migrating colors making it more natural when applied.

It is quite in demand this spring, in fact, some MAC shops / counters were already sold out of this item. I got mine reserved from MAC Harbour City in Facess (thanks to that helpful and friendly sales lady who helped me reserve!) I got my hands on these wonderful blushes!

My favorite is definitely the Ripe Peach, since it suits my skin color perfectly. If I wanna achieve a baby-ish look, I would definitely go on the Azalea Blossom. I think I would reserve the Vintage Grape for Fall / Winter since the color is darker than expected. Its color is like my Breath of Plum powder blush, only that it is a little bit darker.

How I wish MAC would manufacture this continuously. Take note, it is only LIMITED and it costs for HKD 210 only!
