I really like this blush. I actually received it as a gift, so I'm unsure what the price was at the time. This is a limited edition blush. It's a very bright hot fuchsia pink. It's very pigmented, so it does need to be applied with a light hand. I tend to take a flat top brush (i.e. E.L.F.'s powder brush of their studio line [$3 USD]), place the bristles on top, and wiggle the brush a bit to pick up the pigment. After that, I dab some of the excess onto the back of my hand and then apply it on the upper part of my cheek. I have, I suppose, plushy cheeks (I'm told very pinchable, haha) and I do not put blush at the apples of my cheeks; I use it to provide a flush of color while slimming my face structure a bit... hence, I find that putting it directly under my cheekbone, towards my hairline to be the most flattering application for myself.
I definitely recommend this product for most skintones; when applied very lightly, paler skintones can pull this off and darker skintones can apply this wonderfully. It really is a great blush.

This has to be the most pigmented blush I have ever owned. It`s such a gorgeous bright fuchsia pink that is surprisingly easy to wear and stays on for such an incredible long time. I can`t imagine ever using this up, but if I were to lose it I would hunt eBay for another.

I absolutely love this blush. Got it at the CCO several months ago. This blush is very very pigmented. When applied lightly it gives my cheeks the most lovely natural glow. If I applied it a little more heavily but still very light, I achieve the look of a China doll. I'm very pale so I have to be careful not to apply too much. I doubt I'll ever finish it but I definitely would repurchase if I ever run out and MAC brings it back.

If this weren't discontinued I would def buy this again. This is the perfect blush for dark skinned women NC50-NW47. It's bright in the pan but with a light hand it gives the perfect pink flush. It's also great for those with cool undertones. This was from the Tartan Tale collection.

I wish this was not limited edition. I have two backups of this now, as I just purchased one on Ebay. This lovely blush is the only one I have ever owned that does not oxidize on my face, every blush I have ever owned turned orange after a short time, period. Not only that, it will last a very long time, I only need to tap my powder blush into the container lightly two or three times and apply, and voila, I have the most lovely flushed natural looking cheeks. I am NW20.
I hope Mac brings this back.

LOVE. So pretty, no shimmer, and every single time I open up the compact I get so happy at the bright pink that greets me.
I'm quite pale with green eyes and lots of dark, curly hair. It gave me a fresh-scrubbed look, made my eyes seem brighter, made my skin look porcelain instead of sallow - very cute.
I can't get myself to go back to peaches and corals and light pinks even though its summer. I just love this.
I'm make-up-challenged, but bought the correct brush and its pretty easy to apply. I just stop right before I think I have enough on.

This color is sooo pretty and pigmented. Looks amazing on my nc 30 skin. [: i would buy this again, but it takes so little for such a beautiful look, this will last me forever.
This makes me look like im glowing or just ran, but i blushed in just one specific place. lol
My HG blush is mac's cremeblend blush in Florida, and this is like Florida in a powder form. AMAZINGGGG.
I know this is pretty easily dupable though and mac is coming up with another one very similar and less red than this in an upcoing collection.

This is such a great color. It's a bright matte fusicia and a little goes a long way. MAC blushes have a hard texture not soft like nars but that fine because the pigmentationa and color make up for it.

This looks a little scary but is va va voom and looks beautiful. All you need is a little bit on your brush and voila - very pretty pink cheeks and you don't end up with that Kim Kardashian OTT blusher look either. It is ever so slightly purplish...but only very very slightly and unnoticable. It wouldn't work on very fair skinned or freckled women but for women with skin which is at least medium/tanned in colour, and darker, it will look lovely. The price was also not too bad considering it will last you forever. So my vote is a yes! :D

I really like this blush. It is very pigmented though so i find a light hand is a must, but it gives (surprisingly) a natural pink flush to the cheek, and really brightens the face. I said i wouldn't re-purchase simply because i can't imagine myself hitting pan- such little product is needed everytime that i could see it lasting for ages. I think this shade would suit a lot of skintones- very universal.

This is an amazing blush! its limited edition from the tartan tale collection, which makes me sad, although I think it will last me a looooooong time. I was a little hesitant about getting this blush because although I have light skin I have warm undertones and this is advertised as being a blue-pink which should not be flattering plus it looked Fushia in the pan. However after reading the reviews here and having purchased a fan brush I thought I'd give it a shot. I'm so glad, I did because I love how it looks! I need a very light hand but the pink turns out beautifully giving me a healthy rosy glow. I also love that it has a satin finish, meaning theres no glitter in it which is a plus for me because I have rather large pores. I would definitely recommend this to others and I feel with proper application it can suit a wide range of skintones. If you weren't able to get it this time around I wouldn't fret because sure enough some will probably end up at the cosmetic comany outlets, on ebay or even up for swapping:)

I would buy this if it weren't limited edition and if I hadn't brought the last one at my only place to buy MAC Macys. The color is a cool bright pink so beautiful on my NC50 skintone. I love it because I only have to use a little and it shows up plenty.

If there were a universally flattering blush, this would be it! I can't imagine a skintone that wouldn't look beautiful wearing this blush. After spending $$ on what I'd hoped would be dupes of this shade, I finally gave in an just bought it. lol (Now I can stop spending money *trying* to duplicate it.)
I don't give many 5-lippie ratings, and have never opted to review a MAC product before. This one deserves both, as well as all the other rave reviews it has received. This is the quality and wearability we all hope for in our blushes and products. MAC, you have my sincere appreciation for this one.

When I first bought this, I thought I liked it! I wore it and got a few compliment on it but more and more I started to notice that it just didn't work nicely on me, the color was too red. I gave this to my sister and this looks gorgeous on her, we wear the same foundation shade so I'm not sure why it didn't work well for me? Weird.
I am starting to notice that the matte and sheertone finishes from Mac aren't translating very well on my skin..I can't figure it out. Anyway, I would still give this a shot because I have seen this color look beautiful on NC40/42 skin but for whatever reason just did not work for me!

This blush is an absolute standout from MAC blushes!
It is a gorgeous fuchsia, but warm enough on my NC30 skin to glow my skin from the within. It is not quite red enough for me to give that "just-came-in-from-the-cold" look, but it is still beautiful to give me a healthy flush to my cheeks.
Do apply lightly however, since this "satin" finish may produce clown cheeks. I use a stippling brush and only lightly tap in once or twice, almost as pigmented as NARS blushes!
Decent staying power too!
One of my favorites for the winter for sure :)

In general, I try to stay away from falling in love with these limited edition shades - but this one is a standout! It imparts that amazing cold flushed cheek without looking clownish. You need to apply oh so sparingly with a fluffy brush - and I occasionally top with a bit of loose powder to tone down. What a gorgeous color! And, as with all MAC blushes, amazing quality.

tartan tale colection only got to my country 2 weeks ago, so i bought this blush today and i'm in LOVE! i originally went to the store to buy my highland honey, but since my skin is somewhere between nc42 and nc45 it just didn't show up at all....so i tried this one and i felt in love right away! i also have the bite of an apple but this one is much more pigmented, i just feel like i dont have to swirl the brush so many times to get some color that actually shows up on the skin.... BUT i do love them both!!!

This is a very unique color, and lovely one too. It is scary looking, but with a light hand (use a duo fiber brush) it imparts a very pretty plumy pink color. It is bright, but not clownish-bright, nor un-natural looking. I won't buy again becos this is going to last me forever, plus it is limited edition I think.
