City Color Mosaic Blush Review & Swatches

I'm back with another blush review, this time it's City Color's Mosaic Blushes ($4.99 plus 10% off with my code BudgetBeautyBlog). I don't know why I keep buying blushes lately...I think I might have a bit of a problem. Still, I couldn't resist these when I saw them at Five Below a few weeks ago because as you probably know by now, I'm obsessed with City Color's Be Matte Blushes- they're amazing. So how do these compare? Read on to find out...

Each Mosaic Blush has three shades that are swirled together to create the perfect flush. They come in three different colors that are super pigmented and actually come out on the darker side...these aren't sheer light colors. So these will show up beautifully on darker skin tones and if you're on the lighter side like I am, you can just sheer them out. You can also customize the shade a bit depending on where you put your brush. In the swatches below, I swirled the brush through all three shades but the darkest area of the blush is in the middle, so you can put the brush along the outside of the compact and use just the two lightest shades.

The first shade, Pink Glow has shades of pale pink, mauve, and a darker cool-toned pink in the center.  When all three are swirled together, they create a beautiful raspberry shade that's perfect for fall.

Coral Glow contains gold, peach and red-orange and when you swirl them all together, you get a beautiful coral shade.

Bronze Glow contains varying shades of bronze (no surprise there) but the thing I love about it is that it's not the least bit orange...it's a true bronze.

Here are the swatches of all three shades...as you can see they're super pigmented and have just a hint of shimmer. They're soft and easy to pick up with a brush...a little goes a looong way, you don't need much. Wear time is also above average for a powder blush.

Overall, I'm really impressed with these, but I'm definitely not surprised. City Color consistently creates high-quality products at super-affordable prices. If you're looking for a gorgeous pop of color for your cheeks that's under $5, these are a fabulous pick! The darker colors are especially great for this time of year, too.
