I've never heard of this brand. Loving the colors. I wonder if I can get this in NYC? Between this ombre and MAC's I'm going to be in blush heaven ththis year.
German brand (posted above). It's available in the US (Ulta) and Canada (Shoppers Drug Mart). This would be LE if it was part of a trend collection but I've seen this as Spring 2014 stuff so would stick around online.
Have you heard of Catrice? Also German. It's the higher-end "older" sister brand to Essence.
I never heard of Catrice either. I need to get with it. Thank you for the info.

I really want those powder ombres. I wish one was a purple/lavender/lilac/blueish kind of shade, but maybe some time this year. For some reason I thought the lippies might be ombre or swirles also.

Looking at the picture, I'm not all that excited. If they implement a great formula, then I'll probs be more pumped.

I really hope someone does something just like that this year, I'd be a happy girl!

I know it isn't ripe peach b/c its square, but wonder if it could be a close match/dupe? BTW, wasn't there an Estee Lauder blush that was ombre and close to RP? I see one every time I go to my CCO and think of getting it, but don't. AND, I saw it really cheap recently on another retail site (PM me if you want deets) so I was considering...

Just because it is square doesn't mean it is not a repromote. They made Strada square in Gareth Pugh.

I bought the Estee Lauder 'dupe' of Ripe Peach and ended up giving it away. I should have known better - I LOATHE packaging that is larger than it needs to be so that a cheap brush can be included. MAC/NARS do this much better - product and just enough packaging to protect it.

Nothing in this collection is remotely tempting to me. No matter how pretty the blush/powders might be, I just can't get past the packaging.

Thank you for posting this! They are pretty but I'm skipping the blushes. I have a lot of similar colors I need to go through (barely dented any of them!). I'm getting the nude if it's warm (no grey like Exclusive Event or the greyed out RiRi one), the red one if it's straight up red (and not similar to Party Parrot which hates me) and maybe the Pink if it doesn't look as bright as Silly (it looked silly on me).

Packaging doesn't tickle my fancy but I have my eye on those lippies of course even though I shouldn't. And the blushes...excuse me "face powders" for sure. Hope no one decides to brush THESE over the entire face. Lol

. Lmao!! I was thinking the same thing. I know they're described as face powders but I'm pretty sure they're blushes lol. I can't imagine brushing that stark pink or bright orange all over being flattering on anyone lol.

It's not ripe peach because it's said to not even be a blush
They can call it a beauty powder if they wish but it is a blush. The release said "face powder" but that is not even a MAC product name just a description and there is no way it would work for an all over the face application. The color is self explanatory as to where on the face the product would work. I am not saying it is for sure Ripe Peach but it looks an awful lot like it. My point was that they have made regular round items square in couture collections before and Strada was an example of that.
