Bella Dark Red Rogue Pink Rouge Rosewood Blush Pressed Cheek Color Powder, Talc & Paraben Free, No Animal Testing & Cruelty Free

This is a gorgeous, and pigmented powder blush. It goes on smooth and blends out beautifully. As we all know, Lady Gaga’s makeup brand, called Haus Labs, came out with blushes that went completely viral. Unfortunately, they aren’t restocking or selling them anymore. I purchased the gorgeous purple-pink shade from lady Gaga’s brand called, “lavender blonde”. I’ve heard thru the makeup grapevine that these shades were a limited edition product and that the reason they aren’t being restocked- is because they were limited edition and most likely will not be brought back. This shade has quickly turned into my most favorite blush. I am Indian so because of my medium tan skin tone, it does not show up purple on me. It shows up as a beautiful natural flush of pink for my medium tan skin tone with a neutral olive undertone. I’ve been using my lady Gaga lavender blonde blush almost daily. Thankfully, there is a ton of product and I haven’t put a dent in it yet. But as soon as I heard that my most favorite blush will most likely not be restocked, I knew I needed to go on the HUNT for a dupe. And boy, let me tell you, it’s been exhausting. Part of the reason that so many people love the lavender blonde blush shade because of how UNIQUE of a shade it is. There is truly nothing like it on the market. Believe me when I tell you that I searched high and low and to the ends of the internet to find a good dupe. I went to all the major brands, then the indie brands, then the professional brands, then Etsy, and then my last stop was here on Amazon. I scoured the Amazon site for HOURS. It was important to me to find a inexpensive dupe so I could continue to use this shade daily, and save my one from lady Gaga’s brand. I ordered so many blushes that looked similar. And none of them matched. That was until I found this brand here on Amazon. I ordered the shade “radiant orchid”. Although it has the word “radiant” in the name, do not fear, it is matte and has no shimmer. The shade “radiant orchid” was described as a purple- princess pink. I was sold. So I ordered this shade, along with a dozen or so other shades from various other brands throughout the internet. I waited for them all to arrive. Once I received all of them, I pulled out my Haus Labs “Lavender Blonde” shade of blush from lady gaga, and I put a nice swatch of it on my arm and then left it open on my dining room table so I could match the shade to others that may look like it straight from the pan. I swatched all dozen or so of the blushes I bought right next to the thick swatch of the lady Gaga Lavender blonde shade. Some came close. But they were all either much too light, much too dark, much too purple, much too pink etc. this one from Amazon was my last blush to try. At this point, I had already swatched 11 blushes and I was so bummed out because none of the shades were close to the Lavender Blonde shade from lady Gaga. So by the time I was opening this last Amazon package, my hopes were already up and I was feeling defeated and frustrated. I was already assuming the worst that this would just be another shade that didn’t match my beloved lavender blonde blush from lady Gaga. So I ripped open the package and I pulled out the small blush. I held the lady Gaga blush in my left hand and this blush from Amazon in my right hand. At first, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me from looking at so many blushes prior, but they LOOKED almost identical. The lady Gaga blush was SLIGHTLY darker looking in the compact. But they looked EXTREMELY similar. I sighed and rubbed my finger in this brands blush “radiant orchid” shade, and I placed the swatch right next to lavender blonde by lady Gaga…..BINGO!!!!! The colors were pretty much IDENTICAL! I was running around my house and outside to compare the shades in different settings. The match was undeniable! This brand managed to capture that PERFECT mix of a warm tone purple-pink shade- JUST like lady Gaga’s brand did for lavender blonde! NOW, I WILL say that the blush from lady Gaga is slightly more pigmented. But that’s because it is from a high end brand and they have access to more pure pigment (which is one of the most expensive things in cosmetics), they obviously has access to better packaging and a better formula with skincare benefits. But again, that’s because it’s from a high end brand and costs almost triple what this “radiant orchid” shade costs from this brand on Amazon. I LIGHTLY dusted the lady Gaga blush on one cheek, and did a heavier dusting of this shade from this brand and I went out to dinner with friends and my husband and daughters. All the girls went to the bathroom and I asked everyone if they noticed anything about my blush. Everyone was inches within my face and investigating lol. They couldn’t believe it when I told them that I was wearing two different blushes! When I told them one side was the viral lady Gaga lavender blonde shade (which they all love to wear as well) and that the other side was from a brand I found on Amazon, they thought I was tricking them! I can’t wait to share this on social media and BLOW THIS UP as being the dupe for the beloved lavender blonde shade by lady Gaga. So many more people will be able to buy a dupe for the lady Gaga one now too because of how affordable this brand is- people are going to be running here by the hundreds! I am so glad I found such a perfect dupe for my favorite blush. Now I can wear this one from this brand daily and save my lady Gaga one for special occasions. If you are looking for a unique shade or are looking for lavender blonde by lady Gaga, please buy “radiant orchid” from this brand! I promise you won’t be disappointed! It’s beautiful 😍 enjoy!

Beautiful color, very pigmented and i thought it was such a nice touch how the seller did the packaging, thank you

Loved this orange peachy glow

Simple packaging, verrrry pigmented. My only gripe is the shade depicted in the pictures looks more like a neutral mauvey that leans kinda periwinkle which is the color I was hoping for, the shade arrived and appeared to be brighter and more barbie pinky than I would've have liked still pretty but was really hoping for that exact shade in the pictures. Ohwell the downside of online I suppose.

It’s ok But very small! One is expecting a normal round rouge and this is only a little bit bigger than a 50 Cent piece so that was disappointing. It’s NOT A COMPACT! The color is nice and I will get some use out of it but that’s why I only gave it four stars.

Great color for med/light cool olive skin.

I was shocked at the size. A tad larger than a quarter. Do not buy. Ridiculous

This is a hard color to find. This is perfect.

Just love the colour and texture
