John Doe stuff: blushes

This blushes came in a massive makeup train case that I got as a Christmas gift. They don't have any names or numbers on, besides saying they are made by Markwins (makers of Wet n Wild).

The kit came with four duos and the shades are very interesting. They range from vivid to subtle pinks, peachy to tan and even purple-berry to reds. Most of the pictures had to be taken without flash because my camera would change the colors drastically; excuse me for the blurriness.

They are surprisingly very pigmented and have a silky texture. There is only one ( a very pal pink) that is barely noticeable and has a bit of shimmer. I use this one as a highlight on top of Benefit's High Beam.  My only complaint is the packaging. As you can see in the pictures I've scratch some when trying to open. Soon as I can get a Z Palette these will move :)

Claire's eyeshadow & blush palette

Got this palette at Claire's [$8] because the blushes looked so cute with the animal print over spray and thought the e/s where in cream.  This picture was taken after occasional use and swatch.  I had new in package pictures but they disappeared from my camera...

looks messy :s but no matter how much I clean it in seconds its messy again; don't know why?

Has mentioned before, I though they where cream e/s.  They feel like cream but set like powder.  The consistency its a little grainy / chunky? Its weird to explain, I've never had a e/s like this before so they are quite difficult to work with.  But I don't want to surrender because despite the weird consistency, they are super pigmented and the colors are gorgeous!

natural light, no flash

For now, I only use the blush and bronzer.  My favorite is the pink one.  Maybe you can't notice but it had a silver and pale pink over spray, it made my cheeks glow and even when it looks so bright when applied with a fluffy brush looks more subtle.  Bad thing the over spray is gonna fade soon :(
