01 Bougainvillea and 02 Cosmos. All pictures taken indoor with flash unless otherwise noted.
There were 6 colors available, and I managed to get them before they're gone. Even at Plaza, only 4 colors are left on display, probably because 2 are no longer available. Other than the 6 colors in the regular lineup, they'd released a couple other limited editions such as the Pure Bloom Cheeks C 2010 Valentine Special and the Twinkle Angel Highlight from winter 2008.
03 Sweet Pea and 04 Rose
Anyway, these come in pairs of one darker and one lighter color. They are very decently pigmented, especially the darker color. Sometimes the lighter color is very light and is only suitable for highlighting purposes, but most of the time they are pigmented enough to be used on their own as a separate cheek color. The texture is soft and smooth, the majority has a satiny finish with shimmers so fine they don't really show up at all. Some colors are more shimmery, but nothing over the top.
05 Cherry Blossom and 06 Dahlia
Pure Bloom Cheeks C 2010 Valentine Special
- 01 Bougainvillea: a combination of a vivid hot pink and a softer pink peach. They blend together for a nice carnation pink.
- Top row: 01 Bougainvillea, with the last swatch being the blended color.
- Bottom row: 02 Cosmos, again last swatch blended. Swatch picture taken in natural light without flash.

- Top row: 03 Sweet Pea, with the last swatch blended.
- Bottom row: 04 Rose, again with the last swatch blended. Swatch picture taken in natural light without flash.
- 05 Cherry Blossom: a muted combination of pale beige pink with a pearly sanity sheen, meant to be a highlighter, and a warm petal pink. They do blend together for a pretty but lighter sakura pink, too light in my opinion for a cheek color. I would just use the pale beige pink for highlighting and stick with the warm petal pink on its own.
- 06 Dahlia: a combination of a peach and a reddish coral. The red chills out a bit on me though, so it's just...coral ^.^ They blend together for an even peachier coral, and I just realized there are lots of peach in these blushes! xD

Hello,
It's a long shot, but would you be willing to help me get 2 of those blushes? They seem to be out of stock everywhere :(
Hi anonymous,
Sorry, but I don't do CPs. Thanks for reading.
