Too Faced Sweetheart Blush Review

I bought this blush on a whim after having a foundation trial, and the make up artist put it on so when I left the shop my face had depth. She did well because I then bought it. This blush is full of pigment - HARD. CORE. PIGMENT. And it's taken some getting used to. There have been a couple of days where I have left the house looking a little bit like a clown. Which is many levels of attractive. As you could imagine. But this may say more about the kinds of product I've used in the past, or my ability to apply blusher. But I refused to give up! And I now have a healthy glow going on and I love this blush. As you do not need much product it is going to last me quite some time. It doesn't have a strong scent to it, and my skin has not reacted to it once. This is the first time I had used Too Face, ever, and I am in love. I can't wait to branch out and try other products within the Too Faced Family

The shimmer in these is so gorgeous! I have Peach beach and candy glow. Peach beach is especially pretty. It's a lovely coral which sometimes looks duo tone because it looks gold from some angles and coral from others. I don't like the bulky packaging but everything else is great.

I'm not always they type to spend $40 on a single product, after one application, but sometimes, you fall in love at first sight.

Too Faced Sweetheart Blush stole my heart in Melbourne, people! I think this might be one of those lasting love affairs, too.

I was idly aware of this blush before it caught my eye while relaxing (read: shopping) in central Melbourne after a hard days work at a conference. I didn't have blush on at the time (it had faded off) so when the lovely salesgirl offered to trial it on me I decided it couldn't hurt.

Literal, instant, devoted love. For a start, the packaging is exquisite. Too Faced Sweethearts Blushes come in gorgeous heart shaped boxes. I have 'Perfect Flush'which comes ina gold and hot pink box, which I found impossible to resist. It's super girly, super pretty, super appealing, and makes me smile every time I *see* it, let alone apply it.

The blush itself nestles inside the cardboard shell, and features a heart shape comprised of stripes of a hot pink, a peachier pink and a bronzed rose. Each is stunning on it's own, but when applied to the cheekbones with a brush (lightly) dusted across the heart, you can achieve stunning rosiness on the first swipe. Tread lightly - this is a superpower when it comes to colour. Pigmented, shimmery and bold when applied with any form of force, this blush is best treated lovingly. The girl in Myer used a fan brush on me; I prefer to use my Bossy Blush Brush to lightly touch it to my cheekbones and a powder brush to bring it to a glow that's less obvious for day. For night, I don't blend it out the same way.

Pretty, sexy, shimmery, gorgeouscolour in achingly lovely casing - no wonder I fell in love. Bet you do too x

I love Too Faced as a brand, I've loved all the products of theirs that I've tried so far so when I saw this blush I just had to have it!!

I bought this in the shade Peach Beach and its a beautiful slightly bronze coralish peach colour with a fair amount of shimmer that comes in the most gorgeous heart shaped packaging. The packaging is a wee bit bulky and no good for travel but I keep it on my dresser as a 'statement' piece. The shade is beautiful and is the perfect summer blush in my opinion. I have NC20 skin and I feel like it would be a wee bit dark for anyone paler than this, it suits me much better when I'm tanned. Its quite shimmery (in a good way!) so not for those with mature skin or looking for a matte blush.

Its fairly pricey for a blush however its a lovely product so if you've had your eye on it I'd say go for it! I'm already eyeing up the lighter pink Candy one :)

Oh my gosh, I had to have this blush when I saw it on Beautybay! Any girl would right??!!

I love the packaging of course! And I do love blushes where you mix a few colours together - previously I have owned Benefit Sugarbomb which I've loved forever! The Too Faced Blush shade I purchased was Candy Glow – Rose pink shimmer, soft coral pink and peachy pink shimmer. As you can tell from the description above, the blush does have a bit of shimmer in it, but it is not a strong shimmer, just a bit of a sparkle. I am quite pale - NW20 so I do have to be a little careful how I apply - my advice would be to start off gentle and gradually build up as needed, especially if you are pale. This is the lightest shade and it does have decent pay off so go easy! I found that the size of the blush was amazing! A really good size for what you pay and it is just so cute you will love it!

The Too Faced Sweetheart blush is something that has been on my lust list from the moment I saw it (yes I am the biggest sucker for cute packaging). I decided on the shade 'Something About Berry' which includes three strips of differing shades of shimmering pink. It has a strip of mauve pink, peachy pink and bright magenta pink which together produce a delicious glowing medium pink shade which is quite neutral in tone (cooler toned base colour with a warmer glowing shimmer, hard to explain).

I quite like products that contain sections or strips of colours which can be used alone or mixed depending on the shade you want each time. Anyway you use this product it looks stunning, but, I usually just swirl all the shades together as I think this gives a nice natural flush to the cheeks. It does have a noticeable shimmer when swatched, however, I find on the cheeks it catches the light where it should and simply acts as a highlighter and blush in one and really accentuates the cheekbones (exactly how I like it too :)). It isn't crazy pigmented, but, still very decent and one swipe is enough for both cheeks for me. I like this level of pigmentation where I don't have to build it up, but, also aren't hit with too much colour at one touch in the pan. It is easy to blend into the skin and doesn't look at all powdery or unnatural on the skin.

I don't think much needs to be said about the packaging. As you can see in the picture above it is gorgeous, super girly and oh so cute sitting on my vanity. The 'Something About Berry' shade comes in a bright pink heart shaped cardboard box and within is the baked heart blush. The gold detailing looks lovely and just adds to the elegance of the product.

This is a tad more expensive than your standard blush, but, I think it is worth it as it is one of those products I get a kick out of using every time, so I will get good use out of it (unlike others which can get a bit boring and I let slip to the back of my makeup draw...or is this only me haha). I got mine during a sale too so it is well worth what I paid for it considering it not only looks gorgeous on display, but, on the cheeks too.

The Too Faced Sweetheart blush was such a lovely little luxury purchase. I purchased the blush in Candy Glow, which features a barbie pink, a light peach and dark peach. The colours are beautiful on their own or can be mixed together for a lovely, natural flush. The pigmentation is good, but it is also ideal for a quick, natural looking application as it isn't overly pigmented. The colours have a slight shimmer that is visable in the packaging but not once applied. This makes it perfect for both day and night wear without looking overdone.

Although the colours are beautiful, I did purchase this product for its stunning packaging. It is certainly unique and unlike any other blushers on the market. The heart shape makes it fun and girly, without effecting the application of the product onto the brush. The pink and gold detailing is gorgeous and this product seriously screams luxury. For paper/cardboard packaging rather than plastic it has lasted incredibly well and can be wiped down.

This isn't a must have blush as the colours aren't particularly unique. However, the product as a whole is a lovely luxury treat that will looking stunning in your collection.
