Product Description from the Website:
Buxom True Hue™ Blush
Euphoria – lively coral
What it is:
A collection of luxurious powder blushes, each with a silky texture.

What it does:
Sweep on this silky, sheer, and ultra-buildable blush to create your own true hue. Each of these shades contains rhodiola, an arctic plant root that makes cheeks appear refreshed, allowing them to come alive with color. Whether you’re looking for a luminous flush or a pop of vibrance, this featherweight formula gives you the color of your dreams.

What it is formulated WITHOUT:
– Parabens
– Sulfates
– Synthetic Fragrances
– Phthalates
– GMOs
– Triclosan

My Thoughts: I am a sucker for anything coral these days so I picked up this blush on a whim. This is probably my favorite blush at the moment. It is so smooth, light, and overall amazing. I would say that this definitely lives up to its claims. Swatch is over bare skin.

My Thoughts: I adore the colors in this palette but the pigmentation is just not there. The description on the website says that they are “vivid, show-stopping eye shadows”…well they’re not. I still like the palette for softer looks but I definitely do not think that it lives up to the description. Swatches are over bare skin.

I can’t say that I recommend this palette based simply on the fact that it does not live up to the claims. I do think that it is a nice palette for a softer look.
