Carter BeautyMini Blush Palette, Cupid

Good product but boxing needs improvement. Better packaging is needed

The light pink is too light but other colors are very very pretty.

This comes wrapped in bubble wrap really well. It is sealed in plastic wrapping. There is a cardboard sleeve. The product page says they are cruelty free (PETA approved - their global “beauty without bunnies” program). Ingredients are listed on the packaging. It’s made in PRC.The palette is cardboard with a clear center in the front so you can see the pans inside. There are 4 different pans.I got the “Aphrodite” palette.There are shade names on the side of the pans. I love the shade names - “Praise,” “Worship,” “Honour,” and “Glory.”This is a beautiful pink, cool toned blush palette.I wasn’t sure what to expect with the shade “Glory.” The product photo showing the colors and the swatches made it look like a pretty mauve color. But, the product photo showing the palette, it looked like it was a bronze shade. So, I wasn’t sure if it would be a blush or a bronze colored shade. It turns out it is mauve colored. It’s a beautiful deep mauve. It has gold dots in it. I thought it would translate to be a shimmery blush, but it looks matte to me when I apply it.“Praise” is pretty light, and that’s coming from someone who is very pale! It builds up so you can get it to show up more, but it works great for a no makeup, makeup look.“Honour” is a bright pink shade. You can apply a little and it looks beautiful, but it can easily be way too bright for me if I apply too much. But, luckily with this formula it’s easy not to overdo it.“Worship” is kind of like the middle between “Praise” and “Honour.” It’s a lighter pink, but not as light as “Praise.” It’s a great everyday pink shade.The formula is really nice. It applies easily. Like I said, it’s easy not to overdo it with this formula, which I like! I hate when blushes are so pigmented that you easily apply too much and then need to lessen it. These have enough pigment that you get color, but not too much. They’re buildable too, so if you find one is too light (like “Praise”), then you can build it up. They apply evenly without looking patchy. They wear well throughout the day.Overall, I think this is a great blush palette! You get a nice variety from light to dark. You get a variety of pink tones. The formula is great. I definitely recommend!

I admit I can be a makeup snob. I used to work for Clinique and Aveda (when I was younger) and love really good cosmetics. Blushes never seemed like the type of product that weren't super important in regards to needing to be "high-end" though; so if the color is right, it blends and stays, it's good in my book.This palette is EXACTLY what I have been looking for for quite some time. I got a blush from The Balm which I really liked, but it was slightly too pink. I've been on the hunt for a good peach-toned blush for ages, and I found it. With this palette, each square ("tin", whatever you want to call it) is large enough that you can swirl your blush brush in just that color alone OR you can swirl it around to catch a couple of colors or the entire palette. I will say that the shimmer ("Obsession") in this palette is very subtle. There isn't any glitter (thank goodness), but there is also just a hint of shimmer. I kind of wish there was more, because there are three other colors in the palette - seems like you'd want to make one that you could really build with the shimmer if you want. That being said, this is now my "go-to" blush, surpassing my NARS or The Balm blush. No fragrance added to this, and wears well all day!In the palette:Devotion: A matte, mid-tone coral/terra cottaInfatuation: A matte, bright peach toneAffection: A matte terra cottaObsession: A warm rose with subtle shimmer. I'm not sure what the yellowish dots are in this color, but whatever!Highly recommended!!! ~Amy

I ordered this blusher palette in the color story “Aphrodite”. It’s beautiful, but “Praise” is a little light for me and “Honour” is a little bright. “Worship” is pretty, but “Glory” is absolute perfection. The shade “Glory” is a gorgeous mauve blush that looks great on my light skin tone. It’s a little warmer on the skin than in the pan, but I also have golden undertones in my skin so that might be affecting the color a bit. There are gold polka dots in the blush pan, but don’t worry they don’t really translate to the face. I was worried that the blush would be overly shimmery/shiny from the dots but it really just looks like a normal matte blush on the face. “Glory” looks very natural on my skin, I’ve been wearing it everyday since it arrived. I wish they made just that shade in a single compact, because I would buy the heck out of it. It’s a gorgeous shade of blush. The formula for these blushes is actually very nice. Pigmented, but easy to apply light and build up. Good longevity. A really nice palette, I just wish I cared about the other 3 shades as mush as I do about “Glory”.***Designed in Ireland, made in China.

Carter Beauty Mini Blusher Palette | Long Lasting Makeup | Shimmer & Matte Shades (Aphrodite)I’m always looking for a good blush palette. I picked the Carter Beauty Mini Blusher Palette in Aphrodite which is the pink toned palette. Both palettes looked beautiful but pink is my preferred blush shades. The pink is considered cool toned and the peach is warm toned but I have to say that I have warm toned skin, I just really like pink blush.The blushes are a nice quality especially for the price with them not being real buttery but not very powdery either. I think they are nice for the price.The palettes are called mini but that aren’t really that small. I consider each shade to be an average amount.⛵⚓Seas the Day⚓⛵

I am a fair skinned blonde with dark eyes and warm coloring. The Cupid palette is perfect for my skin.You can play with the palette colors for a muted look or a pop of color. I tend to wipe my blush brush across all the colors with a final dip in the pink. Then I swipe it across my cheeks for a touch of color - a natural looking flush.The palette comes in a sturdy cardboard style container. So no plastic case. And it’s compact. Perfect to pop in your travel kit or purse to give you a variety of blush choices without dragging a bunch of containers or a bulky plastic blush compact.The price is super low too. Four awesome colors. Compact case. Natural, pretty blushing results. I’m all in!
