I got this in Glow. I liked how it went on, but it's too light for me.

I got this in exposed as part of a gift with purchase. This would be more suitable as a highlighter than a blush. VERY shimmery--but pretty and I will use it. Not sure if I will replace it as I have other highlighters to use up right now.

I'm updating this from a 1 to a 4--and removing my complaint that I had an allergic reaction to it. I bought this in Sweet Cheeks (which I can't find on Ulta's website). It's a very pretty color for a pale person, reminiscent of my beloved, discontinued Origins Pulp Fiction.

Ulta Ulta Ulta ...this is like the cheap version of Sephora.
I was never interested in buying Ulta brand makeup because they're store brand. Yesterday, I stopped by Ulta and saw their brushes were pretty nice then I tried on their blusher, wow! it worked amazing. The quality is just like the MAC brand I have. Next time, I will definitely buy more of their eye shadows for $6.50. The only thing that I don't like is when you use blush brush, the powder comes off easily and it goes everywhere. Also, I wish they come in a bigger size.

This product is okay, not my favorite thing right now. It's a good everyday blush if you want a natural glow. I got this in Heartbreaker and it's a pretty reddish pink color. I wish the pot was a little bigger though, but overall a nice blush.

i have ulta blushes in cheek and glow and i love them both! i find the texture great, it picks up easily onto my brush and goes on smoothly. i have not had any problems with crumbling, caking, or fading. cheek is a wonderful paler/neutral pink that looks great on my pale winter skin - a nice flush that's almost invisible (i don't like in your face flush colors). i'm a NC25, but i think it would look good on skin tones like mine and lighter. i also own glow which is also a neutral rosy color, great for when i want a bit more color. given that you can usually buy these BOGOF, you can't beat the price!

I got this in Adore pinky color, but when I put my brush in it, it totally crumbled and powder went all over the place. I didn't see any of the fold flecks show on me, I will not buy again. I guess you get what you pay for!

Wow, I am really shocked at some of the negative reviews of Ulta Cheek Color! I'm 22 now, and have used "Cheek" and "Girlie", since I worked at Ulta when I was 17! Literally, it was the very first blush I've ever worn, and I've never been happy with anything else I've tried since then! I'm pretty fair, and Cheek is the softest, most perfect pale pink for winter skin -- Girlie is great in the summer, when I have a little color. They are soft, blendable, work great with my Bare Minerals foundation and Mineral Veil....and never deposit too much pigment on my fair skin! I will definitely repurchase these -- and have many, many times before!

I got a compact of this blush in a gift with purchase set. The color is afterglow. I love the color. It's sheer and pretty and easy to use without overdoing it before you've even started. I like to use it over my Stila convertible color in Peony, for a bit of shimmer.

Hey all! I bought this blush in the colors "Afterglow" and "Radiance". They were both very sheer, but it was hard to build color as they were not what I would call really blendable. So, I had to be very careful with them. I'd say if you wanted a sheer wash of color on your cheeks for a natural look? This might be the way to go. The colors were lovely, they just were not at all blendable or workable once on the face. I will not repurchase. I think the problem might be that I am used to working with a "softer" product and these are quite "hard" in consistency, if that makes any sense. I likely will give these away.

Shine on, lovelies!

Ulta's cheek color is an actual good line. So far, I'm using "Fame" and "Bashful" and I'm happy with them. The color's the right amount. Also, the price can't be beat, especially if you catch a buy one, get one free chance, which I did. It gave a creamy, not chalky, texture to me; thus, I was able to use my fingers as opposed to my blush brushes.

I'd buy again. I'm eager to try some others, like "Sun Kissed" and "Afterglow" too.

I am truly surprised by the poor reviews of Ulta blush. I bought one of Ulta's blockbuster palettes (for the eyeshadows) and got four blushes which I ignored, at first. I am very particular about my blush, I tend to lean toward creams, and ALL my blushes are from counter brands. So, a couple months ago, I decided to give one a try just for kicks, and there has not been a day I've worn makeup, since, that one of these blushes wasn't on my cheeks. The pigment is gorgeous and build-able, the staying power is incredible (yes, I've slept in it), and there's no chalky/powdery/icky anything, just a lovely flush. I think these have just a tiny bit of shimmer, which I find unnoticeable, but which probably adds to the effect.

My colors are Afterglow, Girlie, Sunkissed, and Tender, and I use Afterglow the most, sometimes mixed with Girlie. I also love Afterglow with Trish's Glowing as a highlighter. If I were recommending a blush, price irrelevant, this would be it. Seriously.

I have this blush in Girlie and Adore. Adore is a little too brown for my very fair skin, but Girlie is beautiful. I use a big fluffy brush and it works wonderfully! At first I used a smaller brush and the result was a streak of color, but with a light hand and a good amount of product on the brush it works very well. It is one of my fav blushes and I have already restocked, and I'm not even out of my first one yet!

I have this in Girlie and Adore, but I have to say that I'm not particularly impressed with these blushes. The colors are pretty, but the quality just isn't quite there. Girlie is a pretty light peach color that I found fairly chalky and unimpressive when I swiped it on my cheeks. Adore is more of a mid rosy plum color with gold shimmer, which is not chalky like adore, but I was again unimpressed as the gold shimmer has a tendency to travel, leaving my entire face shimmery. I got these in a set with a bunch of shadows and lip colors, so it's fine, as ulta has some pretty decent eyeshadows, but I would not repurchase these blushes as just about every other blush I own is way better than these ones

I have this in Biscuit, which is very similar to MAC's Blushbaby. While the colors are almost identical, MAC's blush is much more pigmented and stays on longer. Ulta brand blush is a so-so alternative b/c of the price, but it wears off quickly. Won't buy again for that reason.

I have this in Glow. It came in a palate with two eyedhadows. It's a nice spring pastel pink and i wear it on occasion but it's not my favourite blush, just ok. The eyeshadows are much better than this. It's very powdery and goes on more heavily than i'd like even though the colour is subtle. I think if my skin were any darker (its very very fair) that it would just pile up and give no colour. I think it only really works because i am so fair. I probably wouldn't buy it again. It's a great price for BOGO though.

I bought the color Glow. It's the perfect pink. Put on a sheer layer for day. A little more for night. Stays on great and you can't beat the price.

I have this in Girlie. I really don't like the texture. Doesn't blend very well and piles on in one spot. I have to use very very little at a time and build it up in order to get a smooth application. Will not repurchase.

This blush has the worst texture of any blush I have ever tried. Granted, I didn't think it would be as sheer as my Lancome blush subtil, but really, I'd rather use Wet n Wild blush before wearing this. The color itself looked pretty at Ulta with that lighting but when I wore it at home, the texture is streaky, chalky, and shiny, accentuating pres and lines. Too bad, because I liked the color (Glow).
