Has Strawberries and champagne blush been discontinued? I saw it on the swatch gallery. It is the exact color I'm looking for. Sparkly light pink. Is there anything that is close to it available now?
Thanks!

Yes, it's been discontinued - twice! It was one of the original blushes, I think. I remember Karen saying that they formulates it on Jamie's first day at work. S&C was brought back briefly along with Rich blush for a short time last year.
I would *love* to see them both brought back again. I nervously dithered (on a budget) and missed out on both but having seen swatches, they're so very beautiful.

Ooooh I hate when I do that with something I want!!
I was thinking about making an "icy" snowbunny look with it!!

Maybe with ice princess lip wand and a light e/s?

is stardust similar at all to strawberries and champagne? i never tried S&C, but in the swatches, stardust looks very similar; and on my skin, it does come off as a very light (but beautiful) cool pink.

Hi packgal, I really love stardust and it is the closest blush I can find to what I'm looking for I just wanted it a tiny bit pinkier, but subtle with some sparkle. SnC looked perfect. Something like the cherub glow but a little pinkier.

I could wear Strawberries and Cream, but Stardust is way too warm on me. It's not really an ice-princess colour. Maybe Cosmic or Tart Light would be better if you're cool-toned?

Seconding Rhys, I would suggest Cosmic, very light handed: perhaps mix with a bit of moisturizer to make it lighter and dewy at the same time?

A little Petal, or Tart light, or Babydoll with a smidge of Angel over the top would do it...
