Sephora Collection Blush Blush Blush. Cream & Powder Palette ($18) is a new blush compact featuring a cream, satin, and shimmer shade of blush and is sort of a One/Size Cheek Clapper dupe of sorts. This style of blush has been getting a lot of traction lately as not only has Sephora attempted duplicating but we also, have the Revolution Beauty Blush Icon Palette and Morphe Cheek Thrills Multi-Finish Face Trio that recently launched. I haven’t tried the Morpe version but I did purchase two of the Revolution Palettes and quite liked them! I picked up one of the Blush Blush Blush. Cream & Powder Palette on a whim! I was actually sort of having a weird FOMO issue as I felt for sure these would sell out when the Sephora Spring Savings Event starts on Friday as at that point you can get them 30% off. I wasn’t sure how popular they’d be so I was like eh, I can afford to just try out one.
I think I also got excited that Sephora finally updated their collection. I feel like they have been pretty slow launching products to the Sephora Collection in the last few years. I remember looking forward to their launches but nowadays not so much. I’m impressed they dropped not one but Sephora Collection Blushes for Spring/Summer 2025.
Sephora Blush Blush Blush Cream & Powder Palette set me back $18 for 0.26 oz of blush. Each blush is a different size so if you’re wanting a uniform palette this might disappoint. The blush comes in a dual lid hard plastic compact with a generously sized mirror inside. The first lid opens to reveal the trio of blushes and a second, clear lid covered the cream blush. I thought it was odd the cream blush was the largest (0.11 oz) size. I dunno why but I thought maybe the powder blushes should have been bigger? I’m not sure where that train of thought is coming from. Maybe it’s because I use powder more than cream blush. I did want to be a little big of a negative Nancy about the compact. It’s has a nice weight, it’s cute, and I love the neon shade however, opening it was a pain. I have currently have short nails and I couldn’t get the damn thing open. I had the tip of a scissor to get it flipped open. The clasp is a bit b&tchy to open.
I didn’t like this palette but I’m giving it a 4 out of 5 stars because the formula is great it’s just I don’t like the finish. It’s too flat. I can’t completely rant about it because the formula is actually good, performs well, etc…! It’s just I don’t personally like the finish. I wanted more glow from it or at least expected it to have a bit of shimmer. It’s very dull and flat on my cheeks and that’s not what I like from my blush. I want more glow, more shimmer, more radiant and this didn’t really have that. If that’s what you want too I’d say go with the Revolution Beauty one of the One/Size as those do have that finish.
Out of the three blushes I loved the cream blush the most. It’s soft, easy to blend, and it has the most beautiful semi-dewy finish on skin. The formula is thin yet creamy and feels very hydrating, it’s lightweight, it’s pigmented with nice buildability, and wears around five or so hours without fading.
Sadly, they sort of fell off with the other two blushes. The matte shade is sort of a semi-satiny finish and it has a lovely texture. It’s soft, silky, applied easily, and was very smooth on my drier cheeks. However, the finish was just dull and flat. Likewise with the shimmer which technically isn’t even shimmer. It’s more a pearly satin shade. It’s the lightest of the three shades but it is still quite pigmented but again, it’s just really flat. I think these two shades bring the entire palette down. If they added just a touch more radiance I’d probably have loved. I feel like the shade combo is matte on me and a little dulling on my skin. It does wear for several hours without fading and actually will extend the wear of the cream if you wear the two together.
All in all, the Sephora Blush Blush Blush Cream & Powder Palette is a matter of preference in the end. The formula isn’t horrible it’s just the finish I’m not into. Those who like mattes may adore this but personally, I like a bit more glow or shimmer in my blushes.
