There are different shades of shimmery pink, silver and gold colors and the flower blooms shapes are so cute! This thing works extremely well - may be too well. It adds a soft, illuminating glow to the face or cheeks, and the color blends very evenly with the complexion to give a natural, beautiful, sun-kissed skin. I literally looked like I just got in from a day out at the beach. The shades of pink are nice to add some life and color over my everyday foundation or powder. I say it may work too well though because I think it's pretty easy to over apply. I just used my big powder brush and went over different parts of my face. I looked just a little too shimmery and shiny, which can also be interpreted as having oily skin. So I would have to be very careful when I apply it next time, and I think I need to avoid applying it on my nose. Just the cheeks will do - a little will go a long way! It's like a natural blush!
I also got the Lip Plumper in Persimmon color.
The color was described as a coral pink shade. Sounded pretty. But it looks a little bit orangey in person. This is what I hate about online shopping! The color on different monitors always look a little bit off. The color is not bad, but not my favorite. I'm used to more natural or more pink type of colors. I don't make statements with my lip colors. I don't know, maybe this color will grow on me. It does look better when I wipe off the excess color with a tissue as well. I don't know why I bought this thing. I must've been just so happy that Laura Mercier was on Gilt and made an impulsive purchase. It wasn't even that cheap. Most lip plumpers just numb my lips like crazy, I guess that's how they make your lips swell and look "plumper"! But the numbing factor with this lip plumper is not bad at all. It also doesn't really plump though. I guess it's more like a regular lip gloss to me. Oh well, I hope I will be able to get some use out of it!
