I have 2 of these one in Sauve Mauve and the other in Pinky Promise. Let me tell you these are SO pigmented. No joke I used a small dot and was shocked by how much pigment is in that tiny little drop....Read more

I have tried all manner of blush sticks, from hi end to low, and this one is the very best! I bought it for the blush end, not the bronzer, but I end up using both. It blends easily and lasts pretty...Read more

These blush balms remind me a lot of the MERIT Flush Balm Cream Blush formula only instead of being in a short chunky tube these are typical stick tube but with rounded tops like MERIT’s cream/balm br...Read more

I got this in plum and I absolutely love it. My HG blush is Nars Sin and Plum is like a version of Sin without the glitter/sheen. It gives you a lovely glow and works very well on yellow-olive toned c...Read more

I'd thought I'd hate this because I haven't liked any other options that do double duty for lips and cheeks. Usually they'd be good as a blush, but on the lips they'd feel wonky. But then I found a tu...Read more

The shade All The Butta is amazing on my cooler skintone - I love it, as it looks like a fresh flush thanks to having a strong pink undertone, but has a touch of purple for a more unique twist. This p...Read more

Got this in shade Nude Kiss 110, a bit warm and coral for me but I like the formula and I might buy a pinker tone to flatter my NC25 skin. Not drying at all and it's just soft and "wet" enough to pat...Read more

I bought the shade Pinch Me Pink. It is a light to medium pink that is buildable with a subtle micro-shimmer that doesn't have any chunky glitter and is therefore very smooth. I am so picky about blu...Read more
