♡ Valentine's Series ♡ Too Faced | Sweethearts Perfect Flush Blush in Candy Glow | Review & Swatches |

Hi everyone,

Today's post is the first in a week dedicated to all things romantic, sweet, and Valentine. 

Valentine's Day is only a few days away, and I have been working on some fun posts! 

♡

In December last year I purchased the Too Faced Sweethearts Perfect Flush Blush in Candy Glow and have reached for it so often I knew I had to share my love for it with you! If you love a blush that offers versatility, radiance & glow, then keep on reading.

Too Faced Sweethearts Perfect Flush Blush - Candy Glow

Too Faced Sweethearts Perfect Flush Blush ($42.95 AUD 5.5g - Mecca Cosmetica)

The Too Faced Sweethearts Perfect Flush Blush is described as a “rose pink shimmer,” “soft coral pink,” and “peachy pink shimmer.” It can be used all together or with an emphasis on one or more shades, creating a “custom flush or highlight.” It is marketed as a baked formula, build-able in colour, and appropriate for all skin tones.

I have a light to light-medium skin tone and I have found Candy Glow perfect for my complexion. If you have a medium complexion it may transfer as a subtle shade, but beautiful never the less. Deeper complexions I think will find it lacking pigmentation. Sweethearts lasts a full day (8 hours) on me. Infused with Lingonberry Extract helps to brighten the skin and impart a radiant glow. The blush sat very well on the skin and didn't look powdery or emphasise my pores (thankfully) :)

Hello Sweet Cheeks!

Sweethearts comes together as a soft, diffused, light-medium pink with a subtle shimmer-sheen finish. I have been wearing the shades all 'swirled' together mostly, but it is a versatile product. Individual colour sections of the blush can be worn independently, so let's break down the three colours available; pink, coral and peach.

The pink shade is a pop of light-medium pink with subtle cool undertones and a soft, shimmery finish. It has a good colour payoff, and soft texture.

The coral shade is a coral-orange with barely-there sheen. The colour itself was gorgeous but appeared less buttery in texture to the other shades. Slightly odd. 

The peach shade is more of a pinky-peach with a frosted shimmer-sheen finish. It has fantastic colour payoff, and it had the best texture of ALL three shades presented.
