My blush life was a lot different back in the early 2000s when Laura Geller’s Baked Blush-n-Brighten Marbleized Blush was one of my favorite things. I absolutely adored Laura’s blushes. I had almost every shade. The formula was smooth and silky plus they applied like an absolute dream. And let’s not forget about the AMAZING Laura Geller QVC Today’s Special Values. She always had such great kits but I did hate on her a little for including Baked Balance-n-Brighten Powder in every one because I seriously had like ten full-size compacts of it hanging around due to those QVC TSVs. I recall Tropic Hues was my most coveted shade but Pink Buttercream was my girl too! Remember when she played around with new formulations too like the Gelato Blush? Those were pigmented as hell!
There was a small period of time when she wasn’t really anything new but later on she introduced new shades of Baked Blush-n-Brighten Blush and at that point I felt the formula had changes. I recall purchasing Peach Delight and not liking it at all!
I think Laura’s journey is an interesting one. She introduced a Wheel of Fortune Collection which made me laugh a little and a lot of people said well, she’s reaching her demographic with it. And maybe that’s the case. Laura’s not young and it’s safe to say her makeup collection is likely not one that interest a younger crowd of makeup lovers. Part of the Laura Geller Collection is now at ulta.com and I’m guessing they’ll be available in stores as well soon. Ulta seems a good match for the brand and maybe it’ll open doors and garner new fans. I haven’t played with her makeup for a while but I do remember loving it. Her move to Ulta makes me want to re-explore the brand.
