Hallelujah! I’m on summer break!!! Time to bust out the bright colors everywhere! For the past month, I’ve started to reach for my favorite summer blushes, and I just know they will be a staple in my routine this summer.
I am obsessed with pinks, oranges and corals lately. It’s just so perfect and really makes me smile. Makes the summer heat a little more bearable.

NYX Blush in ‘Pinched’
NYX has amazing quality blushes. Such good pigment for the price! The blush in ‘Pinched’ provides the perfect amount of shimmer, so you can skip highlighting. Many compare this to Nars Orgasm blush, and I feel it is the closest I’ve found at the drugstore, although not a dead-on match.
Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush in ‘Tipsy’
This iconic color from Tarte brings the perfect amount of brightness and flush to the cheeks. It’s a bright orange, but totally wearable and quite beautiful.
Too Faced Sweet Hearts Perfect Flush Blush
This blush has three different tones of pink, coral, and peach. When swirled together, they create the perfect flush, but are also beautiful worn alone! The packaging is adorable, too.
Bobbi Brown Blush in ‘Peony’
If you’ve read my blog for some time, you know that this blush is a long time favorite. It’s the most beautiful bright pink, and is universally flattering.
theBalm Cabana Boy Blush
I find this blush to be unique, as it almost has a little purple-ish tone to it, while still feeling super summery. I love how much product that comes in the pan, and the packaging is super slim and practical.
What have you been reaching for lately? Do tell!
Sarah says
Love that Bobbi Brown color! ELF makes a pretty good knock off version too. I used to be scared of how bright it is but I really love it for summer!
Meg O. says
Yes, I’ve seen the ELF one! There are a lot of fun bright pink blushes out there, both high and low end. You’re right – they totally give the perfect flush of color! 🙂
Anne says
I’ve heard good things about the tarte amazonian clay blushes. I’m tempted to try.
Meg O. says
You would love them! They have such a great color selection and they last forever on the cheeks. I have Exposed and Tipsy and they are gorgeous.
Leslie says
I love the looks of these. I’m guilty but I buy products with unique cases or covers. Happy Tuesday!
Meg O. says
Oh, I am totally a sucker for packaging, too!! Happy Tuesday to you, too! Have a great day!

I’ve been using the Too Faced blush nonstop. The packaging got me at Sephora and then I fell in love with the color!
Meg O. says
It really is the most gorgeous packaging, and even better that the blush is just gorgeous! 🙂
Meg Scholz says
I use the Tarte cheek stain but think I might add the clay version into my arsenal! Ive heard such great things about it!!
Meg O. says
You definitely need an Amazonian Clay Blush in your life. So many beautiful colors and they are such amazing quality!
Mandy@ a sorta fairytale says
Never tried any of those! But I have been loving the Maybelline Bouncy Blush lately!!!
Meg O. says
I have the bouncy blush in Fiesta (? I think?) and it is not pigmented at all and doesn’t blend on me! I swear I must have gotten a bad one because so many people love them!
Brenda @DailyMayo says
I love the look of number two! I’m excited you shared this, I need a new blush color!
Meg O. says
Ooh, that Tarte blush is just so darn unique! It’s definitely worth picking up!!

I haven’t tried any of those, but the heart shaped one is too cute! I’ll have to look for it!

I love a blush with a little shimmer in it for summer … not that I wear much make up… but when I do… YUM!
