This is my favorite blush of all time. I've tried lots of other blushes but nothing compares to this one.
A very good high lighter and blusher in one, the color is very natural and gorgeous.
I got a sample of it when I purchased some skin care products and the sample lasted me more than a year.
Definitely going to purchase a full size one.

I love this. Fresh bloom is exactly the result you get, a subtle gleam and a touch of colour, works perfectly as highlighter and for contouring and shaping the face.
I am not skilled with make up but this is effortless, you simply can't go wrong!
I use it all over the face to add a dewy glow.
I managed to get hold of the now discontinued shade 01 Peony, which is subtle and beautiful. The sales people at Clinique have told me that the new replacement shade New Peony blend 11 is exactly the same in terms of end result (although it looks darker in the compact). I'd love to hear from anyone who's tried both shades as to how they compare, but in any case, I highly recommend this wonderful product.

This is an incredibly pretty product and sadly underrated. It's a gorgeous highlighter for your entire face and it's hard to "overdo". I really do hate that the product crumbles so easily though, and that makes it hard to travel with. Clinique's website regularly gives out a travel sized version with purchases (subscribe to their website and find out when) and honestly there is no point paying for it when the sample is very generous.

That was surprising! I got the sample size for free and I didn't expect much but it proved to be pretty good.
First of all I have fair skin and I use it as a blush.
The color is a subtle natural fleshy pink with glowy sheen- there's no way to look like a clown with it. Nothing OTT here in terms of particles (actually, makes my MAC Petticoat look like a gritty mess in comparison), just makes your cheeks look sculpted, radiant and fresh with the finest luminosity! What impressed me most is that my face looks incredibly smooth even when it's not really- it must be the light defused in such an ideal way...
Also the texture is very fine, velvety and easy to apply evenly.
Why is a lipstick missing then? Well, my only complain is that sometimes it did oxidize and turn somewhat muddy on me. Sigh...

I love this blush so much! It's my HG. I have cool toned porcelain skin, and blushes usually make my skin look red, not pretty or glowy. It was only $25 and it lasted forever. I had only used half of it in 2 years with daily use but I dropped it and it broke. I'll definitely buy it again though.
It is slightly shimmery in the pan, but it doesn't look shimmery on. It adds a beautiful pink flush while also highlighting. I have gotten so many complements while wearing this. It's almost completely mistake proof. SO easy to apply, so natural looking..it's just perfect. The mirror is great, the design is so pretty. I think this would look gorgeous on almost every skin tone and I definitely recommend it. :)

I love this product! I have very sensitive skin, fair to medium tone and always had a hard time finding blush that complimented my skin tone and didn't make me break out. This did both. I used it as blush or bronzer and even to contour/highlight. My only complaint is the packaging. It's very sensitive to movement and the palette cracks easily, making it a huge mess and difficult to isolate the colors you want to use -- meaning it probably isn't going to fair well being lugged around in your purse or make up bag all day. I will definitely buy this again and make sure to keep it in a nice stationary location.

I love love love this stuff! I got a sample of it form my grandmother, and it gives me such a nice rosy glow! I always get compliments on my makeup when I wear it. It looks great with my fair skin and you don't need a lot to make it look good. you can choose what shade goes on your face, because the palette is 3 colors blended together. It's not too shimmery either, but it still just draws the light to my face. It's pretty expensive though, depending on where you buy it. I've seen prices as high as $70 on amazon, but luckily I snagged a full sized palette at an outlet in St.Augustine(: I would definitely recommend this product!!

I received this as a gift with a Macy's purchase for free but never really used it until recently. Man does it look nice!

I'm usually very pale and and pretty golden since I am of east Asian descent, so normally, any blush on my face would look terrible. It would be too prominent, as if someone had slapped me. This is perfect, it is very natural and light weight, I would definitely buy it once I run out!

Went into my local boots looking for a more summery blush slightly less plum than my last clinique blusher and the assistant recommended this, now in the store it looked fairly promising with the paler outside colour to dim down the deeper colours in the center, so i decided to buy, tried it on the other day and oh my word it soo shimmery. Now i know i was looking for a summertime blush but this is really unnatural although i cant fault the colour i wont be buying again.

I never wore blush or eyeshadow and never thought I would. However, I found this in one of the many Clinique GWP make-up bags I received from my mom that I had stuffed into my closet. I was messing around and decided to play with this. I was really surprised! I always thought of blush as a tacky, over-the-top kinda thing, but this really looked natural. I'm more *ahem* mature now, and thought a little color actually looked kinda nice. What's more, I tried the light shade on my eyebrow (orbital bone?) and was surprised again! It brightens my eyes without looking white/silver/disco ball tacky. Win win! I now wear both almost every day. Since I started wearing it I have received compliments about my face like I have a "nice glow" and I look "fresh." Hey, I'll take it!
The sample size has lasted me months. I'm now preparing to shell out the $30 for the full size. I have never in my life spent that kind of money on make up. So I really like this stuff!
Only negative is that it broke pretty soon after I began using it, mixing the colors a bit. I did my best to separate out one and put it in a different container, but it was a drag.
Hoping that doesn't happen with the big one...

Rewind 2 years ago and I rec'd this as a gift with purchase for some chubby stick lipglosses DH bought me for the Christmas holiday. I was skeptical but I thought WTH and fell in LOVE with this blush. I had it in my gym bag over the course of the year and loved the look with the post work out glow but found myself diving into my gym make up bag from time to time when I would use a bit of a cooler palette on my lips & eyes (I use NARS Orgasm frequently and one of BeneFits bronzer/highlighter stripe blushes).

I ran out of Peony about six months ago and felt like I was missing out so it's the first time ever I actually purchased a cosmetic that I rec'd as a gift as purchase. I love LOVE this color, perfect for paler skin tones in the winter and nice for wearing during the more tan months as well. Five lippies without hesitation.

I LOVE this blush. Its perfect.
I have super pale skin, and this looks totally natural and rosy. I use a kabuki brush to sheer it out a bit and apply it to my apples, along my cheekbones, and to my temples to thin out my round face. I have to admit, it makes me look gorgeous. I get compliments all the time, and when I tell people im wearing blush, they all say 'no way! it looks so natural and real!' I have had this for 2 years and I'm not even half way done with it. Its only $30 and I'm pretty sure this will last me another 3 years. amazing value!
The compact is so cute and chic, and the blush itself is beautiful. Clinique is usually a hit or miss for me, but what a great product! I will buy this again and again, and I totally recommend it!

I really like this. The color is such a pretty pink color. It's the perfect cheek color for when I want something a little brighter than my usual nude/pink blushes. It works great with plum-y or red pink lip colors.
I like the packageing, too. It feels sturdy and a little goes a long way. The shimmer in it is the kind a like, glowy. It doesn't emphasize pores which is a great plus. I'm about NC35 and shows up nicely. The only one of the 3 colors that actually worked for me. Almond looked dirty and posey was invisible on my skintone. Will repurchase.

A GWP from Clinique and what a remarkable find. I usually don't shop that brand but this is a beautiful all over colour which frankly doesn't require blush. It also is a great accent for the orbital bone. Unfortunately it has to be handled with care or the sections separate and shatter.

A bit too light for my NC30 skin, but it was a nice GWP (got 2!). It does add a nice healthy glow. However, for the price tag, I'll try squeezing as much out of the sample as possible. No cheap applicator either, which is actually a good thing for me. More product, less cheapy applicator.

HG for me, and I dont have many HGs. I love that this is subtle, yet illuminating I always feel really pretty in this. I got this as a GWP in peony and is by far my favourite blush. It is impossible to look clownish with this blush as many others can make you appear. It is buidable but you need to use another blush if you want a more dramatic look. The price is quite steep, however I have not found anything as beautiful as this in the blush department!

This is as lovely as i had hoped it would be. Im always nervous with blush, its so hard to get the right color for me. This one gives a nice warm look to your skin. Its not over the top barbie pink or clown plum its just a nice warm healthy flush. I asked my husband what he thought & he said it looked nice on me, like i had been outside (not sunburned just healthy glow). Since i have the gwp size im thinking about getting the larger size (if they still have it around).

The perfect pink blush for pretty much any look. I have the mini size that came with a gift set, and is probably the most high quality item I've ever received with a gift set. The lighter color I suppose would make a good highlight, but I've never tried it as such. I recommend this for anyone looking for an everyday pink blush with a hint of shimmer.

I got the small GWP size of this and unfortunately it broke before I was even able to use it for the first time. I crushed it all into a loose powder hoping it would be a pretty blush but it barely shows up and appears not to be very pigmented. I am fairly disappointed.

I got this with a gift collection from my daughter. I love the packaging - very girly and pretty. I took it with me on a whim to a training class - very grueling. I broke it out one morning before class and came in and got comments all day how "refreshed" I looked. One of the other students asked me if I had used the "spa" at the motel we were in! I came home and bought the large size and use it almost everyday with my Clinique Almost Powder. LOVE LOVE!
