Give your Cheeks the VIP Treatment with Smashbox Red Carpet Radiance

Smashbox Red Carpet Radiance Palette (VIP)

Apart from hoarding lippies.... I have started going bonkers for blushes too.... So as soon as I saw this gorgeous palette- I knew I wanted it..... Its a handy travel palette with generous sizes ... and all the shades u might need on the go!

So got it some time back .... courtesy Ebay AND I am happy to say that its a beauty!

All blushes are wearable colours (I always wanted that matte brown and matte coral) and the highlighter too is pretty good!

 Price- Part of a Limited Edition Kit (I got it for about 1200 from ebay)

 What does the company Say:
Red Carpet Radiance Palette in VIP, with 0.19-oz Soft Lights in Shimmering Quartz (a creamy pink with high pearl); and 0.38-oz blush in Matte Flush(a golden beige); Shimmering Flush (a pink with warm shimmer); Matte Raspberry (a matte cool pink); and Shimmering Raspberry (a shimmering cool pink)


 Swatches:

The swatches are labelled as below


  1. Blushes in Matte Flush(a golden beige); Applies more like peach (Love it for everyday!)
  2. Shimmering Flush (a pink with warm shimmer); Shimmer is not overtly visible
  3. Matte Raspberry (a matte cool pink); Applies like a Coral pink
  4. Shimmering Raspberry (a shimmering cool pink) Shimmer is fine and not too-much
  5. Soft Lights in Shimmering Quartz (a creamy pink with high pearl) - gorgeous champagne

 Yay's 

  • Super Pretty Colours - finely milled and easy to blend and apply
  • Pigmentation is good - though only a little is needed for a natural look
  • All colours are good for fair-medium skin tones
  • Pricing is fine for 4 blush +1 highlighter

 Nay's 

  • Not available in India (U can find it on Ebay- prices have hiked up now)

 The Last Word:
Blush Junkies will love this palette - especially if you want lovely, wearable, nudes, peaches and corals....
its a WINNER all the way! It will last me a long time and has killed (at least for sometime) my lemmings for different coloured odd blushes (I usually go like-- ooooooh... I dnt have a coral blush! & hey....I need a matte brown one too!!! you get the drift :P)
