Laura Geller Tropic Hues Blush n Brighten Review and Swatches

MAC Stereo Rose really got us all worked into a foaming frenzy. Phew! That was a great run wasn’t it? If you failed to get Stereo Rose I do suggest grabbing Laura Geller Tropic Hues Blush n Brighten. It’s not Stereo Rose but it’s just as gorgeous and delicious and could possibly fill that empty void of missing out.

Jump!

I know alot of folks are very disappointed that the Laura Geller Tropic Hues Collection sold out almost as soon as I posted about it a few days ago so I just wanted to break a few things down.

You can get on a waiting list for it however who knows when it’ll come in stock.

If you’re seriously desperate I suggest ordering the Blush n Brighten in the full size (you’ll want a full size, the blush is stupid gorgeous) and than ordering Laura Geller The Tropics Lipstick & Lip Gloss. At least you’ll get 3 of the four items included with the original set this way. It’s a little more to invest but if you have a strong lemming this is a possible suggestion to your woe.

Now ’nuff babbling…

You wanna hear about the the Tropic Hues Blush dontcha?

I already own this shade from the set but god is it ever gorgeous. I was a little worried they wouldn’t be able to capture the shade again in full size but it’s perfect. It’s one of Laura’s less pigmented Blush n Brightens however it still manages to give a warm glow to cheeks with swirls of coral, raspberry, pink, and bronze. By itself it gives cheeks a cool yet warm glow (weird but it contrasts beautifully and creates both a cooler, warmer look!) and on top of blush or a touch of cheek stain it imparts a shimmering glow.

Although shimmery in finish it can be delicately tapped on cheeks to avoid a disco ball effect while leaving behind a subtle kiss of sparkle.

If you missed out on Stereo Rose I do think that Tropic Hues will fill the void. It’s NOT a dupe but it’s such a stunning shade that it can easily make you forget Stereo Rose.

Delicious!

Very Muse Approved for purchase!

About the Muse

Isabella MuseIsabella is just an average everyday geeky girl who doesn’t blend her eyeshadow correctly, wears too much blush, and hopes she never finds her holy grail products because she likes the thrill of the chase so much. Her mission is to bring you super honest reviews on makeup, skincare, fragrance and all things beauty. She’s in no way an expert on the topic and she sure as hell isn’t a super model. But she’s passionate about makeup and is seeking like-minded individuals that like pina coladas, getting caught in the rain, and ones that enjoy spending hundreds of dollars at Sephora without feeling buyer’s remorse.
