New Benefit blush palette

tucsongal · ‎03-10-2010

I just read about a new Benefit box o' powder blush palette at musingsofamuse, my downfall site, lol. It's called Cheeky Sweet Spot and has six approximately half size blushes of Dandelion, Hoola(bronzer), Bella Bamba, Coralista, Rockateur and Sugarbomb. It also has Watt's up highlighter. I have Dandelion but none of the others, and at $36 is a very good deal if I did the math right. And for some reason, Sephora keeps extending my flash shipping, so I couldn't resist.

They look really nice! I have the Coralista already, but I like the variety.

My friend just asked me what I wanted for my birthday this month, and I asked for this palette!!! Hope I get it ${#emotions_dlg.biggrin}$

Hi Harpa! I have Benefit's "Dallas" box o powder blush. It is a lovely flush of color. How does "Coralista" show up on the skin? Is it very pigmented. I am fair. I had tried "Dandelion" in the past and it was too light (if you can believe it) on me. It hardly showed up at all. Considering that the box o powders are $28 each, this palette is a great deal!

Hi, Poppet! I think the Coralista is very nice! I am fairly light, too, and I think it has a nice payoff. And in between coral and pink.

Try applying with a tighter brush. I don't know where I got my brush that I use for blush, maybe Smashbox, but ? (I'd offer a photo...) Anyway, it's a nice tight brush, though I use blush rather sparingly.

If you still have the Dandelion, try it as a "refresher" color later in the day. I know some people use it as an all over powder too. Thanks for the photo Harpa.
