Here are swatches of all of the Essence Pure Nude Baked Blushes. I noticed these come out near the beginning of 2022 and collected them slowly over the past few months as they were never fully stocked at any of my local Ulta stores. These have the same name as the Essence Pure Nude Highlighter that became well known and loved several years ago.
Here are swatches and photos of all six of the Too Faced Cloud Crush Blurring Blushes. These are fairly straightforward, no-nonsense powder blushes with the main claim of having a diffusing/blurring quality to them. These are $29 each and available from several retailers including Sephora, Ulta, Kohl’s, Macy’s, Nordstrom, and of course, Too Faced.
Benefit has come out with new shades of their iconic boxed blushes and redesigned the packaging. There are 12 full size shades retailing for $29 each and 7 of them come in mini sizes for $17 each. I have all but one (Starlaa) swatched here for you.
The Essence Contouring Duo is one of a few new things I picked up in December. I’m always on the lookout for new contouring products because I feel like there aren’t that many out there that fit what I’m looking for. So many of them are yellow or orange toned against my complexion and end up being bronzers on me.
Neutrogena Cheeky Wink Blushes are cream blushes with sheer but buildable color payoff and a subtle luminosity. They are available in 2 shades and retail for about $7 each.
Flower Beauty Flower Pots Blushes come in 5 shades (the fifth, Deep Peony, is only available on Flower Beauty’s website). I purchased the 4 available on Ulta’s website. Each one contains 0.21 oz / 6 grams and retails for about $11.
Too Faced Diamond Light Highlighter is a multicolor highlighter with parts that are blue, green, and purplish pink that swirl together to create a multi dimensional highlighted look to the cheek. It contains 12 grams of product and retails for $34.
Loreal’s Paradise Enchanted Fruit-Scented Blushes come in four warm-toned shades. The formula is described as being silky, blendable, but still rich in color. They contain 9 grams of product and retail for about $12.
Tarte Love, Trust & Fairy Dust Palette contains 10 eyeshadows and 1 highlighter. The compact includes a large high quality mirror and opens all the way so that it can be laid out flat on a table if desired. Each eyeshadow is contains 1g and the highlighter contains 2g. It is limited edition and retails for $39.
