Once you’ve been in the beauty world for a while, you start to get a little bit jaded. The variety of colours start to blur together, so then companies try to impress you with new packaging. When that doesn’t work, they try to emboss their products (and so far that packaging technique is working extremely well!). So when a product makes me gasp in excitement, you know it’s got something going for it.
I mean… do I even really need to say much about this blush? The Laura Geller Baked Gelato Vivid Swirl Blush in Guava (there’s a name and a half) is just so damn beautiful to look at. The colour. The pattern. The shape. Gah. (Although Ulta’s web site did a dang good job of making this shade look seriously unimpressive. Seriously, go here and click on Guava. Like wtf is that shade??)
And then you swatch it and it’s everything I hoped and dreamed for, and really, what more could you ask for in the most beautiful blush ever created? /swoon
No word of a lie, I get even more excited every time I put this on my cheeks. I used it in my Too Faced Chocolate Bon Bons tutorial and I mentioned it again in my March Favourites. And now I’ve got this post on it. Is it overkill for a single blush? I sure as hell don’t think so!
For those of you wanting more than just an ode to a stunning blush, here are the basics: this wears all work day on me (7:30 am to 5 pm), the colour is luminescent and pigmented. It’s also easy to blend, which makes me love it all the more. My next time at Ulta, I am definitely picking up Plumberry (and again, don’t let Ulta’s web site fool you, the shade is nothing like that one either!) because I am so not over this formula any time soon!
The Laura Geller Baked Gelato Vivid Swirl Blushes can be purchased on Ulta.com for $26 USD each (and you should really, REALLY go get one!).
I thought Ulta doesn’t ship outside US? Just checked the link and I saw the shade Cantaloupe, omg, be still my heart.

Yeah, Ulta doesn’t, my friend in the US sent it to me as a present! I kind of want all the shades…
I’m usually not a fan of blush… but this is kind of hypnotic. The embossing is so so beautiful! It looks so red in the package but turns out to be so much nicer in the swatch. Plumberry looks interesting too (Ulta must colour correct their pictures… but seriously screw them up! I’d love to see a swatch of the plumberry!

Funny you should mention Plumberry, someone just picked it up for me in the US! I don’t get what’s up with the colours on Ulta’s site at all!
SO PRETTY. This is definitely not a colour I’d go for on my cheeks (I already have so much pigment in my cheeks I don’t want to emphasize it) but it’s so so so so pretty.

haha that’s a great way of putting it! MY BLUSH IS GREAT, THEREFORE SO IS MY DAY!!!
What a beautiful blush! It looks so much more wearable than I would think just from looking at the pan.
I know right? There’s so many odd blush shades in the pan (vibrant or dark, etc.) and yet somehow they turn out to be completely wearable!
