So if Ulta Shimmer Blush looks familiar that would be because you you might be thinking of Clinique Cheek Pop Blush! At least I was when I saw the cutesy daisy imprint on the new Ulta Shimmer Blush ($7).

It’s only available in one shade so don’t get your hopes up (more to come maybe?) and looks more like a highlighter than a blush at this point but you never can judge makeup on a promo image alone. But the description does read “create a radiat look by using the highlighter on your cheekbones and temples” with a contrasting statement that reads “Spring into the season with Ulta’s gorgeous, shimmering Shimmer Blush”.

Hmmm…!

Either way, the design still reminds me of Clinique’s formula.

It’s available now at Ulta.com.

Pretty yes, but I’m not quite sure I’m ready to splurge $75 on Clinique anything quite yet.

Are you?
