Review (5/5): Gorgeous Packaging! Amazing Formula! I Love All 3!
This comes in a nice outer product box. The ingredients are listed on the back. It’s cruelty free, talc free, gluten free, and paraben free. It’s made in the PRC. (See photos).
The palette is plastic. It has a white marbled appearance, which I really like. It looks really pretty. Personally, I don’t usually like to leave things sitting out on my counter. I feel like it looks like clutter. But, sometimes packaging is pretty enough where I don’t mind leaving it out. This is one of those items. There was a plastic protective sheet over the pans. A nice thing that this palette has is that the pans can be taken out, so if you want to put them in another palette or I suppose you could even rearrange them. There are shade names below each pan. The blush is “Blessed,” the highlighter is “Goddess,” and the bronzer/contour shade is “Incredible.” I like the names!
They are all very soft, very smooth, and pigmented. They all applied beautifully! They picked up easily with a brush. Applied nicely and blended so easily! I applied too much of the bronzer/contour shade one time, I just wasn’t paying attention and dug my brush in too much, and I was still able to blend it out easily! I love when powder products are like that! I hate having to always pay attention and be careful not to pick up too much product or else I have to spend forever blending it out or apply a skin tone powder to blend it out. So, I love when powders are like these and blend so easily that it’s okay if you accidentally apply too much because you can easily blend them out!
The blush is a beautiful light peachy color. The color works great for my pale skin. It’s pigmented, but since it’s a light peach color, it gives a nice kiss of color to the cheeks. Even if you really put a lot of product on your brush, it never looks like too much! Given that, I don’t think this would work well for darker skin tones. I’m pretty pale. I usually go for the lightest foundation shade, and even on me this blush gives just a kiss of color. It does build up slightly, but I still feel like it never looks like too much. Hopefully they have other shade options for darker skin tones because the formula is great! The blush has a slight sheen to it, but it’s just a touch of sheen. It shows up more when I swatched it than it does on the cheeks. On the cheeks, I don’t notice the sheen at all. But I do feel like it doesn’t look at flat as a matte blush, if that makes sense? I like that because I love a glowy look and love blushes with sheen, but sometimes blushes with sheen emphasize texture too much. So, I love that this sheen isn’t really noticeable, but still looks better to me than a matte blush.
The highlighter is a beautiful gold. I was a little worried it might be too dark for me looking at it in the pan, but it seemed like it would be odd if it was too dark for me since the other shades seemed like they’d work so well for me. After swatching it I saw that it was pigmented, but a light gold, so I figured it would work for me, and it did! It’s pigmented and smooth. It gives a nice highlight. You can get a slight glow from within or build it up to be a little more. I always like having the option. It works beautifully on my skin. It didn’t emphasize texture. It didn’t look powdery at all! I love it!
The contour/bronzer shade is just as good! It’s soft and smooth. It has good pigment. It goes on easily and blends out really easy, even if you accidentally apply too much, it’s still really easy to blend out. The color works perfectly for me.
Overall, I think this is an amazing palette! I love all the powders! They all work beautifully! They are beautiful colors that work perfect for my pale skin. They are all so buttery, soft, and smooth. They are so easy to work with. It says the palette was $28, but now it’s $19.95 at the time of writing this review. With the packaging being so pretty and nice, decent pan sizes, and the powders being so beautiful and working so well, I would spend $28 on it, but the $19.95 is even better! If you have pale to light skin like me, I definitely say go for it! I don’t think you’ll be disappointed! If you have darker skin, I hope they have other shade options because the formula of these powders is great!
