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.
