REVIEW: Wet n Wild Color Icon Blusher

Purchased from: Walgreens/ CVS

Purchase date: September 2012/ May 2013

Purchase Price: $2.99

Size/ Amount: 0.14 oz.

These are the most pigmented drugstore blushes I have come across. You just need to use a very light gentle swipe of the brush to get color on the cheeks. They last for 4-6 hours before you have to touch up. They come in 4 shades. What I like about them is that they do not add a ton of glitter on the cheeks. It was a learning experience to be very light handed with application as the first few times I ended up with clown cheeks. You will also need to tap or blow off the excess from the brush. They come with a small angled brush, which does not really work. It comes in plastic packaging with a black base and a transparent top. This does not come with a mirror. The packaging is light but sturdy so that is a plus.

Here are the 4 shades:

831E Pearlescent Pink

Peachy pink with gold shimmer. The shimmer does show through but overall it gives a beautiful sheen. You can go without a highlighter here. It gives the skin a natural glow. I would say this is the lightest blush of the lot.

832E Heather Silk

Medium pink with plum undertones. It is completely matte. It does have a hint of mauve. It gives a rosy flush to the cheeks with cooler undertones.

833E Mellow Wine

Pink with coral & red undertones. It has a hint of shimmer. Not as much as Pearlescent Pink. This one also gives a nice sheen to the skin. If someone wants to try a coral blush but does not want to go full on coral, this is a good one to start with.

833E Mellow Wine

834E Berry Shimmer

Berry with a gold undertone. It does not have shimmer but as you blend the gold comes through. It also has tones of brick red and the color is quite intense. This one gives the most impact with least product. This is the one where you need to be very careful and use an extremely light hand. This is the one I could not find in Walgreens and had to get it at CVS.
