I don't know what it is, but anytime I'm in a discount store...or any store for that matter...I head straight to the makeup aisle. I love to see what different stores carry and if there's anything that catches my eye. If I'm honest, I bought this blush palette purely for looks alone. As silly as that is, I cannot resist cute packaging, and hearts are basically the cutest. The fact that is was only $5.99 at Burlington Coat Factory (random?) made it all the more sweet. I'd never heard of this brand but I've never been one to pass up a chance to try something new!
First of all these colors are super duper pigmented, which is incredible for the price point. Some of them are somewhat too pigmented (hello neon pink!) so you definitely need to apply with a light hand. I cannot wait to use the lighter shades as we go into Spring, they are so soft and gorgeous. The one and only downside is that some of the blushes are super duper powdery. I'm not just talking fall out, I'm talking full on powder particles on the swatches that got stuck once they hit the moisture of my skin (sounds gross, I know, but makeup wearers know what I'm saying). So I definitely need to tap off the excess before applying. As far as wear goes, I tried to rinse the swatches off with just water and they didn't budge...eventually, after some gentle rubbing with soap they came off cleanly. Overall I was highly impressed with the quality of these blushes and I would definitely say stop into your local Burlington and check them out.
Have you guys ever tried anything from this brand? XO

The packaging just gets me every. single. time. Quite frankly I'm thankful more things don't have such cute packaging otherwise I'd be in some serious trouble. It has the craziest pigmentation, so good for the price! Thanks for the idea, definitely putting it on the list! Thanks so much gorgeous friend! XO -Kim
