Natasha Denona launched three new cranberry-themed launches in her new Berry Pop Collection just in time for Valentine’s Day. We usually see nudes or pink tones from Natasha Denona (which I love) and I rarely wear red but the colors in the Berry Pop collection are really pretty! The items are available at Ulta Beauty and Natasha Denona.
Berry Pop Cheek Trio
The Berry Pop Cheek Trio ($48) has two rosy shades and a highlighter. The Tinted Glow Cream Base (middle shade) is a softer creamy soft rose pink shimmer. It’s creamy and emollient but has a pretty good dry down once you blend it. You can wear it on the eyes or cheeks.
The Cream Blush has more of a powdery feel to it. It’s very pigmented so a little goes a long way. It’s an intimidating to my neutral-makeup-loving self but very easy to blend for a tint of color.
The Highlighter is a beautiful champagne shimmer with a very smooth silky feel to it. Shimmer is pretty shimmery but it’s finely milled for a really stunning glow.
Overall a solid A+ for performance, blendability and texture. I don’t know that it will be for everyone as I know a lot of you prefer a neutral toned blush, but the reds in this collection have more of a cranberry vibe so it’s not straight up red.
Berry Pop Lipstick + Lip Liner
I love a coordinating lipstick + liner duo and the Berry Pop Lipstick ($27) and Berry Pop Lip Crayon ($24) have Natasha Denona’s signature creamy full coverage formula. Both are matching shades of cranberry. The Lipstick is opaque, smooth, creamy with a satin finish. The Lip Crayon liner is also smooth, very long wearing and really does help to extend the wear of your lipstick (it took waterproof remover to take off). Both have a cool undertone to them.

I Need a Rose Lipsticks
For my neutral-lip lovers I’ve added a quick look at her I Need a Rose Lipsticks which are the first neutrals lip colors in her line that don’t wash me out. We all know neutral lipsticks can be tricky. Something that is “neutral” to me can be straight up orange on someone else or can also look concealer-like depending on lip tone, skin tone, under tone etc.
Her I Need a Rose Lipsticks are beautiful lighter shades that have just the right amount of warmth for me. Most of her other nude lipsticks are too cool-toned on me, but for those looking for truly cool-toned lipsticks or liners, I can’t rave enough about her formulas.
Peony is a pale milky pink cream, Daphne is a medium rosy brown nude, Calla is stunning beige cream. She has matching Lip Liners and Lip Glosses to go with these. I actually have the lip liners but they are missing in action in my stash (I couldn’t find them). I do have the Lip Glosses swatched on the arm, but the formula unfortunately settles into my lip lines and I’m really not a fan of them.
Overall lots to love. Formulas and colors are beautiful. You can find the Berry Pop Collection out now at Ulta Beauty. The I Need a Rose Lipsticks are also available at Ulta Beauty and Sephora.
