Milani Tea Rose Rose Powder Blush ($7.99) is one of four, limited edition Milani Rose Blush shades that relaunched exclusively at Walgreens recently. Milani brought back last year’s very popular Rose Blush Collection in four new shades for the Spring season. These were so popular last year and sold out quite fast.

Up until now they have been kinda hard to find but recently I’m noticing more and more Walgreens putting out displays so if you’re in the New York area be on the look out.

Some would argue that Spring 2014 was the season of the blush! There’s been SO many wonderful blush releases this year! Typically I always feel like early Spring (January) we end up seeing a good deal of skincare followed up newer base products like concealer and foundation. I never feel like Spring is heavy on color so it was really nice to see so many new blushes pop up!

There’s been SOME massive hits in blushes lately! I think we can all agree that Clinique really surprised and delighted with their new Cheek Pop Blush!

Here’s my person list of Blush Hits and Misses for Spring 2014 which I hope will help you decide which blushes you need this season and which you can skip!

Wondering what the hit and miss beauty releases in February were?

Now that we’re half way into March we’ll be celebrating Summer 2014 Makeup Collection soon! But February had a few great Spring 2014 launches as I recall.

Anything you can think of that was a super hit for you? Any misses?

I know at least several products that really struck a home run with me. And others that just had me signing in disappointment.

Here are some that I thought were worth a mention.

Take a look at them below!

Their back! Milani Rose Powder Blush are on the loose for Spring 2014 in four brand new colors. Milani released Rose Powder Blush for Spring 2013 in four shades as well but damn they sold out fast. Peeps couldn’t find them at all when they hit stores.

Lucky enough this year the brand made plenty to go around and they’ll be available at Walgreens as well as online at www.milanicosmetics.com.

I think these are appealing because let’s face it they are cute! The powders have a rose burst design and the colors are very bright. Funny thing as they bring to mind the Body Shop RoseFlower Blush from way back in 2009. Remember it? But more recently it quite looks like the Innisfree Mineral Rose Marbling Blusher as the design is almost identical to what you see here from the Milani Rose Powder Blushes.

Let’s take a look at some swatches.

Milani Bella Rosa Matte Baked Blush is one of two new matte finish baked blush shades that Milani has introduced with their Spring 2014 Collection.

There’s already a wide array of beautiful Baked Blush shades that Milani offers in their permanent collection but they are sadly lacking in any matte shades. I imagine this is exciting for those who aren’t fans of shimmer!

Take a look!
