I have to admit that when I first looked at the products I'm going to review today I was a little bit underwhelmed and wasn't quite sure how they were going to work out. The drugstore can be a little bit hit and miss when it comes to palettes and I was a little bit afraid that these were going to be the former, even though I was hoping for the latter. The Catrice x Eman Makeup Palettes*, featuring eyeshadow, highlighter and blush, ended up being sleeper hits for me and I'm SUPER excited for today's review.

Hey guys! I'm a huge fan of a blush palette and I suspect I always will be. Though I wouldn't say I'm a huge traveler by any means, a blush palette is basically a must for travel for me, but I actually really prefer reaching for a palette when I'm at home as well. Having multiple options in my hand makes choosing a blush shade to go with my eyes and lips for that day a lot easier and I can really see the differences in tone when I have side by side comparisons. So, of course, I was really excited to try out the new Avon Iconic Blooming Blush Palette*.

Every year during the holidays tarte releases a blush palette and I've always been tempted but I never pulled the trigger until this year. The Sephora Birthday Gift this year included an absolutely gorgeous tarte blush and I pretty much used nothing else on my cheeks for the last four months of 2017, so it was easy for me to decide to try out the TARTE Blush Bazaar Amazonian Clay Blush Palette when I ended up withe some gift cards I was itching to spend.

I absolutely love a blush palette, I must admit. For someone like me - aka, not a makeup artist - they may seem to be a little bit overkill but I love being able to reach into my blush drawer, grab a palette with a good variety of shades and a good formula, and choose exactly what I need without fuss. Also, I think every makeup junkie needs a blush palette for travel. Anyway, this is why I've been eyeing up the Maybelline Masterblush Colour & Highlight Palette* ever since it was released. I've actually had it in my head several times, but hadn't gotten around to picking it up and recently it was sent to me to try out from Chickadvisor. I've been giving this a serious test, so keep reading for my thoughts!

When the Too Faced Love Flush Long-Lasting 16-Hour Blush Wardrobe was announced, I pretty much A) lost my mind, and B) decided that it was going to be coming home with me after Christmas, sort of like the same reaction I had when I saw my dog at the shelter. Yes, I just compared adopting my beloved dog to buying a blush palette, because I am clearly somewhat nuts, but trust me - there was excitement and longing all up in here and the comparison makes sense in my head. If you don't already know, I'm a MASSIVE fan of blush and my collection is steadily growing to the point where I'm running out of room for it! I love blush palettes because it's easy to reach for consistently and get something for every look, but also because they tend to be a really good deal in much the same way that limited edition sets and palettes are. Anyway, I grabbed this in my Boxing Week Sephora Haul I'm ready to give it a full review!

So here's the thing... I'm thinking I have a bit of an obsession with blush. I think the thing about blush is that there's so many different shades and finishes, so having a good selection to choose from in your collection feels like a good idea. This could also be, admittedly, my excuse for having such a wide selection of blush. Either way, I love blush and I weirdly enjoy picking out which blush I'm going to use every morning. I've actually wanted a blush palette for a while, because of the convenience of having a good selection all in one place so that I don't have to dig around. I also just love palettes, let's be real. Enter the Makeup Revolution Ultra Blush Palette in Sugar & Spice. 8 blushes, 6 matte and 2 shimmers, a good selection of bright and natural shades. Obviously I had to buy it, right?

I've been hearing about Makeup Revolution for months online, but I hadn't put in an order because the standard international shipping cost dissuaded me. However, they recently offered £5 (which translated to just short of $10CAD) off your order, so I figured it was time to put in my first order to the company I'd heard so much about. It was timely, since they had just released some new palettes that looked absolutely amazing. It took just under 2 weeks for them to get to me and I did a little happy dance when I found them in the mail today! 

Look for reviews of each of the products that I received to be posted here on the blog sometime in the next month. For now, let's just take a look at what I got!

I can't remember where I saw this recently, but I think it was on one of the blogs that I follow, and I pretty much started to drool. Lately, I've been all about blush shades that run more mauve or blue toned. I've even been thinking about breaking down and ordering a straight up lavender blush from South Korea, since those are the only places I've seen true lavender blushes recently. Anyway, as soon as I saw pictures of this palette I felt like I absolutely needed to try it, and now that we've finally gotten an H&M I popped in and picked it up. To be perfectly honest, when I saw the price tag of $5.95, I had a feeling I was going to be let down by the quality. But I wasn't. Trust me.
