Hello
ladies! I apologize for the lack of posts, and this time school is not my
excuse! My family and I have recently moved into our new home, and without
cable, and the Internet going off and on for 7+ days…. I was going insane AND
couldn’t write any posts. Anyways, I am back and I wanted to share with
you a review on one of the most gorgeous blushes you could ever own… Sugarbomb
by Benefit.
To
start off, this packaging completely caught my eye. A gorgeous metallic pink-boxed
blush! It simply couldn’t get any better! I love how it looks like a piece of
candy and the font that spells out “Sugarbomb” looks perfect on this product.
This little number looks stunning against all of my other packaging in my
collection.
I
never had owned any Benefit products prior to this blush, but I heard so many
great reviews on this blush and I knew I had to have it in my collection!
The
blush is made up of four individual colors, which makes this blush stand out
from all of the other blushes on the market. It has a perfect peach, a perky
plum, a radiant rose, and a punchy pink. When you swirl all of these colors
together you get such a beautiful blush color! One thing that is absolutely
fantastic about this blush is that it looks great on all skin tones! I have
light skin and I love the color on my cheeks, and my older sister who is darker
and more olive toned used this last week and loved it! She thought the color
was so amazing she went out and bought it herself! This blush definitely
pleases a wide variety of skin tones and almost converts itself to the perfect
color.  |

Unfortunately
for myself, this blush breaks me out*. When I first started using it, I noticed
a small breakout on the apples of my cheeks. The only thing I had changed in my
face routine was the blush, and as soon as I stopped using it the breakout
cleared. This color is so gorgeous that I use it only on special occasions when
I don’t care as much if it breaks me out later. Obviously, this is a product
that I love if I am risking to have a small breakout for the next day. Francesca has more sensitive
skin and the Benefit boxed blushes/powders don’t break her out, so I think it’s
just my skin.
“Sugarbomb”
retails for $28, and you can purchase this on Benefit.com, Ulta, and Sephora
(as well as both Ulta.com and Sephora.com). This blush also comes with its own brush. I have never used this brush, but it is a denser brush and is nicely made. Overall, this is a product that I
would totally recommend. In the future, I would like to try more of the Benefit
Boxed powders because I think they are absolutely gorgeous! If I can only wear
them on special occasions… so be it. They are nicely made and have a fresh scent
to them. The quality of this blush is literally amazing. The pigmentation and
texture of “Sugarbomb” is something that stands out from all of my other
blushes!
Hopefully
this post has persuaded you to purchase “Sugarbomb”. For myself, I had
experienced some of the “cons” of this blush but I am excited to try out
another one! If you have any questions, comments, or requests leave them in the
comments below or tweet them to us @SparklySecret. Don’t forget.. Stay classy!

*I
don’t want you guys to get the wrong impression of my breakout. It wasn’t
hard-core acne or anything, but there were noticeable bumps on my cheeks.
