Clinique Fresh Bloom Allover Colour Reviews

Perfect in Peony!
It took me a few weeks to use this after I bought it--I didn't want to deface the beautiful inscribed flowers. And then I caved and found that this gives me a gorgeous, natural flush which wears a long time. — 3 weeks, 2 days agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Clinique Fresh Bloom Allover Color
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! 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... 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 — 1 year, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 7 of 7 people said helpful

Great glow
I have this in peony and it gives me a great glow and a soft rose color. It is also a great value for the size that you receive. I did hear that this is being discontinued so it would be smart to buy it soon. Hopefully they will make a replacement product similar to this for all the fans out there. — 1 year, 3 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 4 people said helpful

Gorgeous Glow
I sweep this allover after applying my Laura Mercier silk Creme Foundation and it always gives me a flawless pearly glow. A perfect perk me up for dull colourless skin. Can't wait to purchase this in more shades. — 2 years, 3 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 5 people said helpful

So Awesome Words Are Not Enough!
I would give this 20 stars if I had the option. This has got be one of my most favorite products ever and is definitely on my "deserted island" list! My favorite of all the shades is Peony, although all of the shades are gorgeous. This not only works as a fabulous, natural looking blush but the lighter shade makes a great eyeshadow to apply all over the lid and browbone, as well as being an excellent highlighter for anywhere on the face. If they ever discontinue this product I don't know how I would replace it. I can't recommend it highly enough!! — 2 years, 9 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 5 people said helpful

Great Accent Color!
I tried a sample of this in Peony! It is light sheer and offers a slight sparkle. You dont even see the sparkle unless you really look. But what you do see is, a light burst of color ! Forget Bronzer, this stuff rocks! — 4 years, 4 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 3 people said helpful

Most Flattering Blush EVER!!
I have very fair skin, and it's very easy for blush to look too dark on my skin. In 2009, Clinique did a Limited Edition run of Fresh Bloom All Over Color in Bamboo Pink. I had used another shade of Clinuque's blush since my teenage years and liked it, but I was thrilled to have tried this blush palate! What makes Fresh Bloom unique is the various complimentary shades in one compact. This is an incredible idea, after all, cheeks' flushed appearance take on multidimensional hues. Rather than separating the shades into their own sections, they all are in the same pot, appearing as a beautiful floral design! Clinique clearly created this artistic element for a functional reason: the floral design enables me to effortlessly blend the shades together with my brush, resulting in the most natural looking, ever-so-slight hint of rosy cheeks! In cases where other brands have mixed blush shades into one compact, they: 1) separated the shades, making them impossible to blend, 2) included the hues into a single palate, allowing for easy color blending, BUT arranged the colors in a uniform pattern (ie: alternating in rows of teeny, uniform squares) that didn't allow for natural color saturation on the brush, leading to poor application on the cheeks, or 3) Did the same as #1 and #2, but added insult to injury by pairing REALLY horrible shades together that are not natural looking or complementary of each other. Clinique truly put great thought into the hue-pairings and ensuring that their Bloom design would result in flawless looking cheeks! Here's the problem: Although Clinique still makes Fresh Bloom blush in other shades, they unfortunately have not brought Bamboo Pink back to life since its one-month run in June of 2009. I find it odd since this collection (it was blush, lipstick/gloss, eyeshadows, etc. in Bamboo Pink) flew off the shelves AND fashion critiques raved that Bamboo Pink was the most amazing shade since it pulled off the rare feat of complimenting all skin tones, from super-fair to extremely-dark! The only way to score this blush (and most of the other items in the collection) these days is by paying jacked-up prices for it through eBay and other sites that sell discontinued makeup lines. It's not likely you'll find them -- my hunts have become exceedingly harder, and most recently< I couldn't even find the eyeshadows! Bottom Line: I highly recommend this product! You aren't likely to find the Bamboo Pink shade, but Clinique currently produces several other flattering Fresh Bloom blushes. So long as you aren't really light-skinned, you'll probably find a shade that works for you and will result in equally stunning results. If you are light-skinned, I would suggest going to a Clinique counter to have a consultant test the current Fresh Bloom colors on your face to be sure they don't look too dark or off base. It's not that you won't find a great color, but it would be much harder to figure it out if you're shopping online. Trying the colors on your face while factoring in your undertones, hair/eye color, etc. in the mirror will help you nail the best option for you! Happy blushing! I sure am . . . until I run out of Bamboo Pink options, lol! ;-p — 2 weeks, 1 day agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Great if you insist a little
When i first used this blush(i have it in posy), i thought it was really awful. I have more of a medium coloured skin so i didn't see any difference between before and after. I put it in a drawer and forgot about it, until last week. I tried it again, this time with more product on the brush and insisted with the brush on the cheek. And finally a saw a difference. It's a really gorgeous colour if you insist a little. But i would recommend it in a darker or more pronounced shade for women with darker skin. — 1 year, 3 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

Perks up pale skin
I have to agree that this is a wonderful product. I got this as a sample in Peony and absolutely love it! It gives my fair skin a subtle hint of color without looking overly done. I will defintely be buying this in the future, it is going to be one of my staples from now on! — 1 year, 4 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful
