Swatches




***

I have a thing for peachy pink shimmery blushes. I find that they just suit my NC35 skin tone really well and gives me a nice glow. i love nyx products and during my last mini haul from CherryCulture, i knew i had to get this blush. 


The Good
- i love the color! just the perfect peachy pink shade for me
- inexpensive
- a dupe for NARS Orgasm (i'll post swatch comparison soon)


The Bad
- Pinched is not as smooth and silky compared to my other NYX blushes
- don't expect the texture to be the same as the higher end blushes 
- tends to be chalky and i experienced fallouts


Final Verdict
A+
The chalkiness do not really bother me. I love NYX blushes and you really get your money's worth! I will definitely repurchase.
