I love the AFTERGLOW blush! It looks great on my skin. I also bought other trial sizes I like that they have this option!
Since I ordered samples for two different ones, I'll break them up.
Afterglow: love it! :D It makes my skin just sparkly enough without overdoing it. A little goes a LOOOOONG way, so be sure to use with a light hand!
Hyacinth: I haven't had a chance to test-drive this one yet, but it's very pink. Much pinker than I thought it was! But not a harsh or unpleasant pink. If you have cool undertones and prefer a color somewhere between light pink and violet, then you'll love this!
Thanks for the samples!
*A separate note: IMO, the pics on the site are slightly misleading, but a quick Google search can give a more accurate representation of what the products look like once they are on the skin. :)
Very generous sample sizes on the "try it" foundations! Couldn't be more pleased with my purchase and went ahead and ordered several full size.
The samples are inexpensive and definitely the way to go because they last forever...especially the blushes. $2.50 to try out all these wonderful colors! I got the Matt Sedona blush: very pretty on my light/med skin tone and can be used as a cooler bronzer; next I tried the Light Bronzer which is very light (I like that) and would be great for someone who has very light skin and longs to use bronzer but can't because they're all so dark. The Soft Pink blush is a super light cool (almost violet) shimmery pink that can be used as a highlighter or eye shadow and last, the Matt Rose blush is a versatile color that would work on most people.
I like the smaller sizes as you can try several. A little goes a long way, a sample of blush can last a long time. In a previous order I tried the hyacinth (which I LOVE!) and this order I got the Petal. Petal is very pretty, it is slightly shimmery and is a nice, somewhat understated rosy pink shade. Works great when you want to do a bold eye or lip. I can't wait to try some of the other shades, as well.
I ordered a try it size of the bronzer in the shade Light Bronze after talking to Kristal via email for shade advice. This bronzer is perfect! I'm fair and so many bronzers are too dark or too orange. This shade is sheer perfection! The formula itself is also wonderful. Soft and smooth and easy to apply and layer as needed. Lasts all day long and stays fresh looking. Feels weightless.
I ordered a sample blush size in the shade Matte Rose, which is a matte medium dusty rose color. I've had it for 3 months now, and with regular use have only used up about 1/2 to 2/3 of the jar. It goes such a long way! You only need a tiny bit, it is very pigmented and blends out really nicely. I use a little measuring spoon and scoop a tiny portion out onto a glass surface so I don't pick up too much on my brush. It looks very natural for my fair, neutral skin, but I have to be careful not to go overboard or will look rather dark. I definitely recommend as I'm very pleased with it, and the price!
I love that I can try some of these blushes for a small prize. I rarely ever finish blush (or use blush for that matter) so I probably would not have tried these blushes otherwise. But I really like them! And when I finish one of these samples... that would be a sign for me that I should get the full size! They are very pigmented but very blendable. I got Glow, Matte Appricot and Juicy Peach. Glow is a very nice shimmery soft bronzer for my Pale Olive skin. Matte Appricot is less orangy than I expected, but it is a beautiful peachy blush nonetheless that looks really good on my skin. I like Juicy Peach for the days I want to shelf out some glitter. I recommend these for sure!
I got Petal Blush to try it out. My foundation shade is light medium and this is a really nice color for me.
The amount of product you get is really good too.
Love that it comes in little jars!
Initially, I tried some of the more pink colored blushes in trial size, but when I got the "sunny bronze" trial size I LOVED it! It is the perfect color for my light/medium colored skin tone. I use it as a blush and as a light bronzer.
