Cheeks Collection

I never thought purple would be a favorite shade of mine. These are actually purple-leaning shades and I feel like a silly goofball wearing them.

I hated it, tried to sell it, gave it some time then learned how to make it work. I like to pair it with browns.

This is like one of the crazy doll blushes like Cherry Dazzle. The shine is so intense on this.

It's like coloring my face in with a crayon whose rest of the set I lost long ago. I like it a lot.

Wonderful formula, lacking in pigment but buildable at least. This is my first "natural" type of blush shade, but unlike 25 and 28's formulas, this one actually builds up.

The rosy brown and the coolish pink, two classic pink shades put together in one.

I found this being sold for an affordable price. It feels really princess-y the way it leans into like a velvet red violent on my skin tone.

They put this beside a picture of a red retro telephone and a few red fruits and I lost my mind. I love red. Had this released earlier, I would have just bought this over funfetti because it has both the muted baby pink I wanted and a neutral red that very slightly leans pink on my face.

It's so beautiful. This is the "benefit tickle" highlighter for me.

It's a warm red base with cool pink shimmers. It looks gray at some angles. It's very dark. Very interesting. I feel like those old porcelain dolls.

Though they may be dark for my skin tone, these shades come off toasty. The "dear" shade is a lovely muted red.

This is like a non-subtle nude, like I'm trying to hold off the blush but couldn't help myself and put on lots anyway. It has a slight reddish tone.

This shade is extremely subtle on my face—too subtle. It has a nice texture that I like to play with.

A really cheap purchase because it was on clearance sale, literally for free except for shipping. The formula isn't very good and I learned that cream blushes are better in pans than in stick form.

I thought this would be the classic pink entry in my collection but it turned out to be a warm pink. I like to play with it, coloring my drawings with it, and it's the first blush I hit pan on from use (not from playing with it).

This is the first blush I ever bought. At that point I didn't know what I really liked in makeup, so I just bought my favorite colors at that time which were warm peachy pinks. Amazing when paired with gold highlighter.

(custom palette, img: 1, 2) I created this custom blush duo because I was unsatisfied with my peach blush duo back then (which I already sold). The names are coincidentally also cute thematically.
