MUA mosaic blush in ' English Rose'


I am someone who is generally a little bit scared of blush; I either think it puts too much colour on my face and looks silly or I think I put it on unevenly and end up with one cheek looking different from the other. However, I heard someone mention this blush and they said that it gives you a pretty subtle (key word subtle) flush to your cheeks and after thinking how pretty it looks when I went into Superdrug to check it out, I decided to give it a go.


MUA's Mosaic blush in 'English Rose' is a pretty mix of neutral brick toned colours with the odd lilac chunk thrown in to mix it up a little bit. 


Depending on how you want it to look, you can focus your brush more on the darker colours to get a more vibrant pinkish flush on your face or you can use the lighter toned parts to get a more natural looking colour or you can simply swirl your brush over the entire thing (which is what I do) to give your self a more subtle flush of colour but also with a pretty natural glow. The colours can look a little frosty when you build them up but personally, since I only use it very lightly I don't find it to be a problem.

I really can't say how much I love this blush. I believe it was around £2.50 from Superdrug but I can't find it on their website - I hope they haven't discontinued it because this is a product I would definitely like to repurchase!

Have you tried this blush?

  1. I'm not sure about Superdrug as I'm from the states, but it is available directly through MUA http://www.muastore.co.uk/index.php/mosaic-blusher-english-rose

  2. I always find that I get one cheek different to the other one too! Great post, MUA is such a great affordable brand! Would love it if you could take a look at my blog -

  3. I just bought this from the MUA website and I'm in love! Other than benefit's cheek stain I've never found a blush that suits my skin tone and looks natural!

  7. I don't think I own a 'mosaic' blush, but that lilac shade does look a bit odd - anyway, total bargain!

    1. I think the lilac shades add a nice touch to the blush though, I definitely don't try to avoid it when I'm applying it to my cheeks :)

    1. Aw, I know how you feel. I always see things I want from the States that we can't get here. Have you looked to see if the MUA website ships internationally?

  10. This powder is so gorgeous! I recently tried a bunch of MUA products but didn't pick up any blushes. I hope they pop it on the website soon xx

    1. I'm really starting to notice the difference blush makes to the way your face looks, so I think it might be something I'm going to experiment with a bit more :)

  13. The pattern looks really funky! I've not tired it yet. Its a good idea to have all the different colours so you can experiment with different effects Xx

    1. I think the addition of the lilac shade in it is what really drew me to it. I was interested in how it would turn out!
