Too Faced Love Flush Blush Review and Swatches

Too Faced Love Flush Blush ($26) is brand new for Fall 2015 and comes in packaging that is too cute to resist! I purchased mine at HSN using a $20 off coupon code when you open a new account (152616) that dropped the price down to $16 each. Still not cheap but I'd much rather spend $32 than $52. Let's take a closer look! 

Love Flush blush is supposed to be longwearing, fade-proof, smudge-proof, and pigment rich and comes in shades that last for up to 16 hours. I don't know about you, but my cheeks like to eat my blush and make it disappear very shortly after application so I am always interested in a long-wearing formula!

I purchased two of the six shades...Justify My Love and Love Hangover.

The packaging is to-die-for cute. They're a little smaller than I thought they would be based on the photos online and they're thinner and more compact than the Too Faced Sweethearts blush that comes in a heart shaped cardboard container.
These little plastic compacts remind me of conversation hearts and have a magnetic closure that's very tight. In fact, the one and only complaint I have about the packaging is that it's a little hard to open. I sort of have to stick my nail in the crack where the the top lid meets the bottom to pry it open, so that tells you just how strong the magnet is!

Inside, they're just as cute, with a heart shaped mirror and bunny design imprinted in the blush itself. As much as I love when companies do that, I also hate it because it makes me not want to use it! 

Justify My Love is a bright pink with fine gold sparkle. Thankfully, the sparkle is very subtle...I don't even notice it once it's on my cheeks, but you can make it out a little in the compact. It's just enough to keep it from looking too flat.

Here are the swatches, applied first with my finger and then with a brush. The formula is a soft, dense powder that almost feels like a cream. It applies beautifully and is so easy to blend with great pigmentation. My only complaint is that there was a lot of powdery fallout when using a brush, but other than that, I have no complaints about the formula.

Love Hangover is a warm pink with a hint of peach. This is probably my favorite of the two shades...it compliments my fair skin really well!

This one also appears to have a teeny tiny bit of shimmer but only if you look closely. On my skin, I couldn't detect the shimmer at all.

So do they really last 16 hours? I can't say for sure since I'm not awake for 16 hours a day...ever! I have a toddler and go to bed pretty early nowadays. But I will say, these lasted at least 8 hours on me which is a record for most powder blushes. 
Overall, these have a beautiful, pigmented, creamy formula that really lasts! They're a bit pricey at $26 each, but I definitely recommend setting up a new HSN account and using code 152616 to get $20 off!
Have you tried these yet, or are you planning to?
