NYC Blushes-Swatches & Review

Hey dolls.  Here are the NYC blushes that I picked up from the Dollar Tree last month.

Again, here are the three that I picked out:

L-R: Sutton Place Peach, Park Ave Plum, Outside Cafe

Sutton Place Peach

Park Ave Plum

Outside Cafe

And here is a quick swatch:

L-R: Sutton Place Peach, Park Ave Plum, Outside Cafe

As you can see, these swatched rather sheer and with little pigmentation.  When using them, I really had to swirl my brush into the color to get enough on my cheeks.  I had hoped for better color payoff, especially with Outside Cafe because it looked so pretty.

Upon usage, Outside Cafe is definitely a hi-light color.  The shimmer in it makes it hard to wear alone for me.  I like more of a flush than looking like a disco ball. 

Park Avenue Plum is not really plum at all but a muted dusty pink.  This one is in a matte finish and doesn't really show up on me. Maybe fairer girls will do better with this blush.  

Lastly Sutton Place Peach leans more towards an orange/coral color.  This is also in a matte finish. Not a color that I usually gravitate towards when it comes to blushes but for $1, what the heck.  

Final thoughts?

Pros:

• Affordable
• Variety of finishes available 

Cons:

• Not pigmented enough

Repurchase?  No.  I think that as far as pigmentation, there are better drugstore brands that far outdo NYC blushes.  These were great to try at just $1 a piece though. 

 Best,
