CHEAP EBAY BLUSH PALETTE REVIEW + SWATCHES


Hey guys ! SO everyone wants to look good right? and everyone wants a bargain ? OF COURSE!
This is a blush palette that i bought on ebay. It costed me $5.09 AUD FREE SHIPPING !! IT CANNOT GET BETTER THAN THAT! $5 for 10 colours ? YES PLEASE !
So i made the order and it was shipped not long after.
For reference i live in Australia and the shipping was reasonable as it was coming from China. It took just under 2 weeks to arrive. It was nicely bubble-wrapped with a thick layer and nothing was broken ! :) and if you choose to buy the palette after seeing my review, this is the link to the exact one i bought :)

So heres the palette : 
LETS NAME THEM !
Top row: 1,2,3,4,5
Bottom row: 6,7,8,9,10


Swatches : (I LOVE THEM) AHAHA :)
The colours are corresponding to the colours in the palette :)

So if you look closely at the palette, blush 7 came powdery, so it was kind of coming over, nothing major ! but thats just a heads up. AND the photo of the palette colour is more accurate than the swatches. The swatches are there to show you the pigmentation. i dont know why the camera didnt pick up the colour of the swatches properly but yeah.

Blush 1: A slightly purple mauve colour with silver shimmers
Blush 2: A beige colour with silver shimmer
Blush 3: Light barbie pink with silver shimmer
Blush 4: A reddish orange colour with silver shimmer but the shimmers in this one seem to be a little bit larger, but not that big
Blush 5: A beigy orange with gold shimmer 
Blush 6: A matte blue-toned pink
Blush 7: A bright orange coral colour with silver shimmer
Blush 8: A matte pinkish mauve 
Blush 9: A matte barbie hot pink 
Blush 10: A light brown with a gold sheen (not yet a shimmer)

Even though they look very good swatched, when applied to the cheeks, not all of them showed up on my cheeks. Im an NC25 for mac, that isnt very dark, but some blushes like blush 10 and blush 2 didnt show up much. But the other colours such as blush 4 and blush 7 and blush 9 was like KAPOWWW ! This palette also does not break me out and it has no smell to it but its rather powdery, when i dip my brush in, it usually has excess powder that lay on top.

MY JUDGEMENT 
Packaging: 9/10 
I mean theres nothing wrong with it? except that its not as sturdy as other palettes but for $5 !
Price: 10/10 
$5.09 for 10 blushes is definitely a bargain!
Pigmentation: 8.5/10 
I mean the swatches are vibrant, but on the cheeks, blended out, its not too bad 
Recommend? DEFINITELY !!
They do have a variety of matte and shimmer shades and you can buy this palette just to try out colours to see which match you before splurging on other brands.
Overall: I give this palette a 9/10 !
Beauty on a budget is always great!
