... Read moreOkay, so I finally got my hands on the Made by Mitchell Mini Blush Book, specifically the 'Grow Your Peach Vol 2' edition, and I just HAD to share my thoughts! You know how much I adore a good blush, and this little palette has quickly become a new favorite in my makeup bag. If you’re a fan of peachy, warm tones, or just looking to add a pop of color to your routine, keep reading!
First off, the packaging is super cute and compact, making it perfect for travel or just tossing into your everyday purse. But it’s what's inside that really counts, right? This volume is all about harvesting that perfect peachy glow, and it truly delivers. The shades are incredibly pigmented, which means a little goes a long way. I’ve found that using a light hand is key, especially if you prefer a more natural flush.
Now, let's talk about some of the standout shades mentioned in the OCR – like 'Crayola Tawny Parfait Tropical'. How fun are those names?! 'Crayola Tawny' is this gorgeous, warm terracotta shade that gives my cheeks a sun-kissed look, like I've just been on a tropical vacation. It’s perfect for adding warmth and definition. Then there's 'Parfait Tropical', which is a brighter, more vibrant peach with a hint of shimmer, absolutely stunning for lifting the complexion and giving that juicy, fresh-faced appearance. I even noticed another shade in the OCR, which seemed to be a soft, creamy peach. These blushes are incredibly versatile.
I’ve tried applying them with both a brush and my fingertips, and honestly, both methods work beautifully. For a diffused, soft-focus look, a fluffy blush brush is your best friend. But for a more intense, precise pop of color, lightly dabbing with your finger and then blending out the edges gives a beautiful, seamless finish. The texture is so creamy and blendable, never patchy, which is a huge plus for me. They sit beautifully on top of foundation and concealer without disturbing anything underneath.
What I love most about the 'Grow Your Peach Vol 2' is how it allows for customization. You can mix and match the shades to create your own unique blush color, or layer them for added dimension. For example, I’ve been loving using 'Crayola Tawny' towards the back of my cheekbones for a hint of contour and warmth, and then dabbing 'Parfait Tropical' on the apples of my cheeks for that fresh, youthful pop. The staying power is also impressive; I can wear these blushes all day without needing to touch up, which is a big deal when you have a busy schedule.
Whether you're new to blushes or a seasoned makeup enthusiast, the Made by Mitchell Mini Blush Book 'Grow Your Peach Vol 2' is definitely worth checking out. It brings together stunning shades, amazing payoff, and a user-friendly formula that makes achieving that perfect peachy glow effortless. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!
