When Giorgio Armani's Summer Collection was released I ordered #4 Sienna, you can read my review on that color HERE, I originally skipped on #5 Raspberry which also was released with the Summer Collection. Now some months later I decided I had to have Raspberry. The makeup part of my brain works in odd ways so don't ask. Currently from what I understand Nordstroms has all 5 of Giorgio Armani's Blushing Fabrics available for purchase on their website. So if you are interested you can now order them.
Raspberry looks a little scary when you first squeeze some out of the tube. My method is to squeeze the smallest amount on the back of my hand and dab the product a little at a time onto the desired area. Once it's situated I make sure to really blend the product well, which is easy since the Blushing Fabrics are silky smooth. The texture reminds me of Smashbox Photofinish Primer, so it glides on rather easily. The color itself is not what I would really consider to be a "raspberry" color. To me raspberry would be a purplish-red color, but this Blushing Fabric is more of a purplish-pink color. I think this blush works better being purplish-pink, once on the skin it takes on a natural flush color, almost like that pink color your cheeks turn during a cold winter day, with just a hint more of purple. The texture is creamy, and light since it is silicone based. Raspberry is a matte shade, so there are no sparkles or glitter.
I love how these blushes last all day. I don't mean they last a long time, I mean they last ALL day. Even when I swatch them on my hand I can see the pink spot on my hand all day after I have washed it off. The blush blends easily and becomes sheer and matte. You can always add a highlighter over the blush or sometimes I add a little of MAC's Trace Gold over the blush for more of a iridescent look.
On the left the blush is blended out in the way I would wear it on the cheeks, on the right is the blush fresh out of the tube.

So you finally caved huh! Hope I contributed to that ;-) I hope they release more of these!
Oh, wow! That is really beautiful! Matte and really lovely.
@PerilouslyPale, Yes I finally caved, and you are totally to blame! Thanks for enabling me, I needed that push. LOL. I hope they release more colors too!
@Larie, I love the matte finish, I like it because you can really wear it in different ways. =)
gorgeous! Just ordered no. 3 from Selfridges today.
Wah they must really last a long time if you can see them the next day after washing! The swatch is super pretty. The packaging is very nice and lux looking.
Hopefully you will not have a bad reaction to the Jack Black lip balm. I actually quite like it had it not numbed by lips! LOL What flavor did you get?
Ah, love this! And seems to blend really well too~ ^^
@Jamilla Camel, #3 is the pink one right? I need to order #1 & #3 asap.
@Kalmo, Yes the next day I can still see a little of the stain, sometimes I'm like "what the..." then I remember. LOL. I got the lip balm in black tea, it smells soo yummy.
@tiffyama, yes it blends so smoothly. =)
I really like #5, but I still haven't figured out how to apply it really well yet.
The color is amazing, I swatched it yesterday at the Armani counter but I had my heart set on the ETK shadows! Hmm I'm sold on the fact that you said it lasts all day, which I haven't found anything that does that yet. I might have to add this to my "must buy at nordies" list :)
Ooo looks pretty! I've never tried any Armani blushes, would love to try the powder ones and this. I'm loving Fluid sheer #11 right now
i need to get hold of this blush, i prefer cream blushes as compared to powder ones as these are more lasting and easier to blend out.
Maybe i should explore in purchasing from nordstrom
I wish P&J would do another Disney collection! They make such amazing beauty products in such beautiful packaging. :) I'm a fan!
I have been so interested in these. Kind of excited that nordstrom has the old colors up :)
