Recently I managed to stumble upon a brand new Essence Trend Edition display going up in a local store. It was for a collection named Fruity and it was filled with the most amazingly yummy sounding products, like the Fruity Blush Sorbet in Smoothie Operator.
Let me start by saying this product smells so.........freaking........amazing! It has the most perfectly, fruity berry smell. It reminds me of a giant fruity berry Jamba Juice. You really want to eat this stuff....but don't.
The texture of the blush sorbet is that of thick pudding. Cool to the touch, it isn't runny or spongey like the Maybelline Bouncy blushes. It spreads easily like a cream and gives you a decent amount of time to blend it out before drying to a nice satin finish.
Smoothie Operator is a deep watermelon/coral shade with a subtle golden shimmer. On my arm it went from sheer to intense with ease. On my cheek, the same. It left a gorgeous rose water stain look. Again, buildable with extra application. It dries down nicely and gives your cheek a youthful glow. The gold shimmer in the product is not in the least overpowering.
Final Thoughts
The only drawback of the Fruity Blush Sorbet was the way the blush streaked when used over a powder
foundation. It looked a bit patchy when used on top of my Meow
Cosmetics Pampered Puss Foundation. It's not a deal killer for me at
all. I would just try it out over powdered foundations to see how your
application turns out. I'll be sticking to using this over cream/liquid foundations or over bare skin. Overall, I loved this product. And the smell is driving me crazy...I just want to sit and smell it pretty much non stop. No worries if you are fragrance sensitive, the scent disappears quickly after application.
Where to Buy: ULTA (not sure they carry Trend Editions) Fred Meyer, H-E-B

This looks so cute! I love the color. With these sorts of blushes, I always stick to liquid foundation - so as long as it works with that, it sounds good to me :)
