Urban Decay Jean Michel Basquiat Blush Palette Review + Swatches

Hello!!!

I'v been deciding if I should post this, for a good week or two. But I figured since this is still available on Sephora Canada. I'll post it!

X-Rated is a matte cool, light pink blush
Now's The Time is a shimmery golden highlight
Jawbone is a matte warm medium brown bronzer
NoHo is a matte purple/plum blush

To cut to the chase, I LOVE this palette! It's my favorite cheek palette to date. I'v hit pan on Jawbone, because I use it every single day to add warmth and definition to my cheeks and.

I use NoHo the most out of the two blushes. But X-Rated is still stunning!!

These blend, and buff out easily. I don't feel like I need to bring out the big guns to blend them out.

They aren't SUPER powdery to the point I have to lightly tap my brush into the pan. But they aren't stiff or hard.

I would recommend this palette for light medium to medium tan skintones. I'v seen swatches of this palette on deep dark skin. And the two blushes were definitely ashy looking!!

Overall: 9/10

Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer - Medium Deep

Hey all!! How are you today? I'm feeling so pumped and ready to go!

Today I wanted to chat with yall about my second EVER, matte bronzer. I'm 100% a shimmery bronzer gal. I totally prefer them. But I'v been super into bronzing and contouring my jawline lately. So here we are!

This bronzer is pretty light for their "medium/deep" shade. If the packaging didn't say it, I wouldn't believe it!

The powder came with a hard, chalky, layer overtop of it. So I had to scrape it a bit. But after that it became super soft, and easy to pick up on a brush and blend out!!

This is, I think, my perfect bronzer. It blends right into my skin, and adds warmth and subtle definition. I dig it!

There is a very strong cocoa powder scent to the product though!! It smells yummy to me, but I would have preferred they didn't add it.

Overall: 8/10! 

ELF Blush and Bronzer Duo Review

Hey friends!!

Today we're going to look at one of my favourite cheek products!!

This is the ELF Blush and Bronzer duo compact! It contains a shimmery light golden brown bronzer, and a light glittery cotton candy pink blush.

I LOVE the bronzer in this compact!! It gives my skin warmth, so I don't look flat or dead,

But I REALLY Love mixing them together! I'll just take a fluffy blush brush, and dab it back and forth into both pans. and then buff it onto my cheeks. And it adds a warm, peachy glow to my cheeks! I'm obsessed!

Amount: I threw out the box It came in, so I have no clue. Shoot!

Price: $5

Pros: Super blendable, soft, and easy!

Cons: Not dark skinned friendly! I wish ELF would come out with more shades in this formula!!

QUO Prismatic Face Palette + Original Face Palette Reviews

Hello friends!!

Today we're talking about two AWESOME face palettes!

I own the original QUO Face palette, and then the year after that they came out with the Prismatic face palette.

I personally adore them both, and they're both great for travel. But I like the Prismatic face palette slightly more, as it has a mirror in the packaging, and I prefer the bronzer's golden tones in it as well.

Here is pictures and swatches of the Prismatic face palette: 

Blush: It's a soft warm pink It's slightly powdery, but if you tap off your brush it's perfect! It's not hard at all to blend as well!

Highlight: This is a VERY intense highlight. Like, I'm talking even i, queen of the intense highlight need to tap it off and really buff it in. But once it's all buffed into the cheeks, it's STUNNING. And as you can tell, I'v hit pan on this bad boy!

Bronzer: This is my PERFECT bronzer. It's a yellow/golden brown, with warm shimmers/sparkles in it. I wear bronzers as a warm blush shade 99% of the time. So this is perfect for me!! It blends like butter, and wears all day long.


Next, is the Original Face Palette: 

Blush: This is more peachy than the other blush. It's a matte as well. But it blends shockingly well for a matte!!! I like this shade in the spring. It's very brightening.

Highlight: This highlight is a warm golden shade! It's fairly shimmery/glittery. But not as "bad" as the prismatic face palette. It's basically all used up as you can see!!

Bronzer: This bronzer used to be my JAM, before I got the Prismatic face palette. It's very orangey/red toned. And it's powdery. But very velvety and soft!!


Price: I payed $19.99 plus tax for these two palettes!

Amount: 11G of Blush and Bronzer, and 2.9G of highlight in the Original Face Palette. 6g of blush and bronzer, and 3.4G of highlight in the Prismatic. (So the original was/is a better deal. But I prefer the packaging and shades in the prismatic!)

Pros: Soft, blendable, portable, and easy to use!

Cons: No diversity. There's only one palette out currently, so the very fair and the very deep are kinda left out!

Physicians Formula Argan Wear Blushes and Bronzer Review

Hey friends!!

Today we're talking about a brand I don't really use. Physicians Formula! I don't like to use their products because they do not cater to my darker skinned siblings. They only have two shades? How impractical.

But I received these three products as a gift. So I'm going to use them and review them for any of yall that are interested in them!

From Left to Right we have: "Natural", "Bronze" and "Rose"

These blushes/bronzer are VERY strongly fragranced! There is a super strong, spicy, warm, scent to them. I personally have skin that can tolerate fragrance, but if you have reactive/sensitive skin. Stay away!
  

Here they are swatched on my inner wrist/arm, where I am my palest.

From left to right we have:

Rose: A mauvey plum, with white/silvery sheen/shimmer. Very soft and easy to blend.

Bronze: A shimmery light golden shade. This adds ZERO warmth to my skin. This is a golden highlighter on my NC20/NC25 face, and while I love the sheen it adds. I'm disappointed in the shade.

Natural: Is a satin light cool/blue based pink. This has no visible shimmer in this one, it's just a nice satin finish. Slightly harder to blend then it's shimmery siblings, but still workable!

Price: $15.50 for the blushes, and $19.60 for the bronzer.

Pros: Good blend-ability, soft, non powdery, travels well.

Cons: Zero shades for dark skin makeup lovers, I have to layer it three times to get my desired flush.

Overal: 6/10. I would recommend these for fair skinned pals. But I'm not impressed at all at the shade range.
