The new Pure Color Cello Shots Collection includes the Pure Color Cheek Rush to flush cheeks with a sheer stain, a new limited-edition Pure Color Sheer Rush Lipshine, and limited-edition Pure Color Sheer Rush Glosses, which wash the lips in a pop of crystalline color to complete the look. Through revolutionary, watery gel finishes, this playful array of bright, fluid tones surprises and delights the senses with long-lasting, lightweight, and comfortable wear. I had to have one of everything, and I'm delighted with everything I purchased.
The new Pure Color Cheek Rushes are designed to brighten and excite with a lightweight, innovative, transparent gel that provides the cheeks with a pop of sheer, juicy color for a fresh-faced look. The sensational water-based formula is cool to the touch and leaves the cheeks feeling hydrated through an infusion of natural extracts and moisturizing ingredients. The shades are Techno Jam, X-Pose Rose, Hot Fuse (red), and Pink Patent. I decided to play it safe and selected Pink Patent. I knew I could go back for more once I evaluated the product and color saturation.
I took swatch photos of Pink Patent in full, mid-afternoon sun. I was afraid the intense sunlight might wash out the beautiful pink - and it did, slightly. I swatched at the top of my arm with a sponge-tipped applicator, patting the color on. If you swipe it, you'll blend it. Then, I applied a larger swatch below, very lightly, with the same applicator, in an intensity that I would apply to my cheeks.
You can find the new Cheek Rushes at Estée Lauder's Web site, where I purchased mine. I have not seen them at the Estée Lauder counters yet, but they should arrive any day. I purchased other pieces from the Cello Shots Collection, and I'll feature them as soon as I can.

The description of the consistency reminds me of the LE éclat minute blushes from Clarins, last summer, which I wore to bits. I hope they will be soon available, I can't wait to see them in person!
ReplyDeleteMe too, ScrapgalGR. I selected this shade blind. I would like to select my second by swatching.
ReplyDeleteHi CG. I was eyeballing these on Nordie's website and was put off by how intense they looked based on the packaging. Thank you for reviewing and pointing that out. Do you happen to know if they are water-proof or water-resistant? I live in Phoenix and the humidity is not as high as your area although we do get humidity in the summer during monsoon season. Regardless, when it's 115 outside, makeup melts! Just wondering if you saw any info on that. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteDeb, tonight I'll apply Pink Patent to my arm and then test it with water. I'll let you know here.
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous! Love it.
ReplyDeleteMe too, Purple Peacock. That's why I must have another. :)
ReplyDeleteLike Deb, I was initially put off by the packaging which looks garish to me. Your swatches, though, show how beautiful the actual product is so it looks like I'll be taking a look at cello shots :-). I'm really having a love affair with the sheer, transparent blushes we've been seeing. I think many of us enjoy a lighter, more carefree look when the weather starts heating up. Pink Patent is a lovely shade that undoubtedly looks gorgeous with your delicate coloring.
ReplyDeletethat shade looks really nice and it's so wearable! I like it! the packaging also looks nice and luxurious but I wish you could see how much products is in the container...
ReplyDeleteHi CG. Just wondering if you had the chance yet to test this out on your arm with water. I know you have so much spare time and nothing else to test.....ha, ha.....kidding, of course :)
