(Swipe left for swatches and shade names!) During this #PinkWednesday, it was only fitting that I bring you the @BenefitCosmetics #Cheekleaders Pink Squad Mini Cheek Palette. I purchased this last spring on a whim at Sephora. This was my first Benefit product. As a lover of #pinkblush, I have very mixed feelings about this palette. I love the colors (and the VERY LIGHT scent,) but unfortunately, I think that my complexion is just about the deepest who that can wear this. But what’s weird about this product is that I had to use a denser brush for the #Dandelionblush and #GALifornia to show up on my skin, but had to use a fluffier blush to tone down the #Ticklehighter on my skin. (That Tickle highlighter has a beautiful formula, but oh my, what strong yellow undertones! Benefit also released a #minibronzesquad palette. It included the regular #Hoolabronzer, the #GoldRushhighlighter, and the beloved Cookie highlighter. I was able to swatch in store. The Cookie highlighter is an extremely unique formula and will be gorgeous on lighter skintones. I would say, however, that the #TribeHighlighter Vols. 3 (Champagne) from @juviasplace is an almost identical dupe. ___ Where the mirror meets the soul.

Remember to swipe left on every photo, because I do swatch them all! ___ My skintype: Oily most of the year, but leans normal/combination during the winter months. Never sensitive, but susceptible to hormonal acne scarring. ___ My skintone: Tan/medium deep with neutral undertones. @Sephora ID: #1y11 Foundation Shades: MAC #NC45 / NC44.5 / Fenty360 / Fenty370 / NARSHuahine / Maybelline330 / Estee Lauder DoubleWear 5n1 / Too Faced Born This Way Mocha / Smashbox Studio Skin 3.35 (at Benefit Cosmetics) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1t-fx8JUT9/?igshid=1x13cphlu6qww
