Thank you for posting the review ...Hi there C-girl!<br />Thank you for posting the review and pictures. I am excited about this blush. A few questions if I may. I must have a blush that is devoid of any red & pink due to rosacea. Peach is one of the best blushes for me - but must not have a red base.<br />So what do you think will this be a keeper for me? It looks totally gorgeous on you!!!<br />Warm Regards,<br />Joanne VancouverChicnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905173831662671321.post-62950521897401902062012-12-11T15:06:10.923-05:002012-12-11T15:06:10.923-05:00Thanks a ton for posting these, and of course, for...Thanks a ton for posting these, and of course, for adding in the information on where to buy!

It definitely looks more intense, though, so I like the idea of using a fan brush for a soft, diffused glow. I imagine Frivole will also work well moving into summer although I don't know how it will look with all the rainbow and unicorn colors in Chanel's summer collection.
