eBay Blusher Palette Review

I don't have much time to write this review but I just had to as I have been waiting weeks for this palette to come through (alongside with some other stuff that I'm still waiting on).

Many of you may have seen this 10 colour blush palette before on EBay and like me, have been wondering whether to purchase it or not. I had spent the best part of a few weeks contemplating whether to buy it, it was only when I saw a you-tuber using it in a make-up tutorial that I decided to get it.


I can't say I was expecting much considering the price of it (£4.68, no postage) but...

The palette comes with 10 different blush shades, ranging from pinks, to corals to more lilac-toned colours which are all gorgeous. There is also a mixture of semi-matte and shimmer finishes which is perfect. The palette is supposedly very similar to the BH cosmetics and the coastal scents blush palettes, but I haven't tried them either.

The colours are highly pigmented and look like they cater for all skin tones. I was worried that the more red orangey colours would look strange; they come off more of a coral colour. 

The palette itself it made from black plastic that feels a little cheap, but what do you expect for its price. 

As it comes from Hong Kong I was a little worried it may arrive in pieces, when I opened the parcel the palette was covered in pink dust, which I was very annoyed with, considering it was bubble wrapped. After opening the actual palette I found the damage to be very minimal and I don't see the point in kicking up a fuss about it.




Delivery wise, for me it took about 2 weeks to arrive but it can take up to 23 working days, so I shouldn't really complain about it.

Overall, I'm ok with my purchase, I wouldn't have paid more for it - and the damage to one blusher doesn't bother me. 

As Bright as the colours seem in the palette, they either give a bronze effect or a rose effect - which is exactly what you want from a blusher.

So, yes, it’s a good buy - and if you’re thinking of experimenting with different blushers, this is a good point palette to start with.
