Benefit Cosmetics Cheekathon Blush & Bronzer Palette

Benefit Cosmetics Cheekathon Blush and Bronzer Palette Review | Is it Worth the Hype?

Hey everyone! I hope you are doing amazing! Sorry I’ve been a little absent lately. It’s been really busy at my work and I had to put my blog on hold for a week. But I am back and in full swing. Today I am reviewing the Benefit Cheekathon Blush and Bronzer Palette so stick around if you want to see my thoughts.

What it is:

“A must-have palette featuring five bestselling, full-size, box o’ powder blushes and bronzers.”

The palette includes ~Dandelion~Hoola~Rockateur~Dallas~Coralista and a brush. Each blush and bronzer are full size.

Packaging:

It comes in a super cute cardboard packaging with “can can” dancers on it in watercolors, like seriously how cute is this packaging?! Each blush/bronzer is shown on the back of the packaging as well. This is a pretty chunky palette so it may not be the best of traveling, but it certainly looks cute on a vanity.

Where to Buy & Price:Β 

It is available at both Ulta and Sephora for $58, which is a $145 value.

Swatches:

This is where the review turns sour. As you can see above the swatches are not good, in fact they are pretty horrible. This picture hasn’t been edited to make these look faded or worse than they are…

When I bought this in Sephora a couple weekends ago I honestly didn’t do one swatch in the store, or read one review. I just bought it, I was pretty excited about this purchase so of course when I got home I frantically opened it and started swatching it, with every swipe of a blush or bronzer I was left more disappointed. I quickly hopped on Sephora’s App (If you don’t have it, I highly recommend it), and started reading some of the reviews… a lot of the reviews were having the same problems as me. The shades are not very pigmented at all, and most are pretty patchy. I tried going over them several times but that just made them chalky and dry. Not a good look.

Final Thoughts:

If you can’t already tell, I was really disappointed in this palette. I had high hopes and was pretty let down. Out of all the shades in this palette the one I own individually is Hoola and I absolutely love it. Hoola and the rest of the shades in this palette were not the Benefit blushes or bronzers I’m used to. After I did this review I did go ahead and return it. Since then I have read more reviews on this palette on Ulta’s website this time. There are still several reviews of people having the same issues but then there are also people who really love this. So either this kind of palette is only suitable for very fair and light skin or some of the palettes were just made better than others with better pigmentation.

In my opinion, I would suggest just saving your money on this one and getting another cheek palette like the Morphe Blush palette.

So that is my thoughts on the Cheekathon palette, I hate being a Debbie Downer, but I do like to be honest with you guys. Have you tried this palette? Do you return makeup if you aren’t satisfied?

    I never had a palette in my makeup kit, because I thought it would damage my skin, as its sensitive. One day was surfing on different beauty sites. There I came across TheBeautyInsiders, I read the article on “Palette” published there. The article gained my attraction & you won’t believe now I have a collection of the palette in my kit. Thanks to TheBeautyInsiders!

      You read an article on what palette exactly? I’m not sure what you are talking about to be honest!

    I almost bought this because it had all of the blush and bronzers I’ve heard so many good things about. Good to know it wasn’t up to par with the usual quality of the Benefit products. I’ll save my pennies to one day get the Hoola bronzer :-D
