Are you a fan of blushes? Do you own a lot or are you like me who has like 2-3 blushes only? I love makeup but I tend to go for eye shadows and foundations. As for lipsticks, hmmmm..maybe 50-50. Hahah..Anyway, I'm here to talk about this blush palette that I purchased almost a month ago. If you want to know more about it, read on....

The palette contains 10 blushes with 3 matte colors that are on the pinkish side and 7 shimmers shades that range from peachy to orange to pink. It comes in a thin, black, plastic case. I kind of expected it the have a mirror inside but unfortunately, it does not have one.Swatches:

As you can see, the colors are quite pigmented and they apply smoothly. As I've mentioned, some color were matte and others have shimmers. My favorite color us #2 because it has this lovely rose pink that not only adds color to my cheeks but gives a subtle highlight as well. I find #3 to be too light or brownish to be a blush color, so I also use it as a highlighter.

The shades are wearable and compliments a variety of skin colors. The colors are quite versatile and can be used as blush/highlighter/ eyeshadow. As for lasting power, I'd say a good 2-3 hours. One thing I discovered recently is that if I put on my blush right after my foundation, the powder sticks on my skin better so it lasts longer. I then use a sponge to press the setting powder on top my foundation making both my blush and foundation last longer. Plus, a setting spray will make it last longer too.One downside of this product is that it is a little powdery so the product really sticks to the fibers of the brush and if not careful, you might end up applying too much resulting to a clown face. What I do is that I take tap the excess product of the brush before I pressing it to my face.

-good color pay off
-no overwhelming smell
-has both shimmer and matte shades
-blends easily
-applies smoothly
-not bulky
My issues:
-can be quite messy because of the fall off

Will I repurchase?
If I used them all up, I might buy one again.If they have other shades, I will definitely but them too.
Do I recommend it?
Yes of course!For the price, you will get 10 shades of blush. If you are like me, who is new to blushes, this is a good product to try because you'd be able to experiment with different colors without breaking your bank. For makeup artists, this is a good product to bring on photoshoots or events because of the variety of shades (given that your client is not too keen on using branded/high end products).

Great review! Love the swatches, nice to see that they're pigmented. I'm gonna be receiving this in the mail soon so I'm quite excited. :) I'm not much of a blush person, I currently own only 3 drugstore blushes. I'm more of a lipstick girl. Haha :))
