City Color Timeless Beauty Palette Review & Swatches

City Color is launching a ton of new products for Spring 2016 tomorrow (March 1) and one of them is the gorgeous Timeless Beauty Palette ($24.99). I was lucky enough to get my hands on one before the official launch and I couldn't wait to review and swatch it for you. You guys probably know by now that I'm a huge fan of City Color Cosmetics and this definitely doesn't disappoint. So keep on reading for close-ups, swatches and a discount code to save 10% on this beautiful face palette.

The Timeless Beauty Palette comes packaged in a gold plastic case that feels pretty heavy and sturdy. I think part of the weight comes from the fact that this has a huge full sized mirror inside which is definitely a plus! 

Inside there are four blushes and three highlighters. The blushes are mostly matte, but if you look really close, there's the tiniest bit of shimmer mixed in. On the skin they look completely matte with the exception of the dark orange shade which has just a hint of a shimmery finish. The highlighters are in huge pans and have a full-on shimmery finish that's very refined...you won't find chunky glitter here at all!

The shades in this palette make it possible for it to appeal to all skin tones. The first two blushes are dark enough to show up nicely on deeper skin tones (lighter skin can use them too, just make sure to sheer them out) and the two lighter shades look so beautiful on light skin. I'm obsessed with that lavender pink shade (third one from the left)...I don't think I have another blush like it in my collection!
The highlighters are best suited toward medium to dark skin tones if you're using them strictly as a highlight. Personally, I can use the middle one as a highlighter on my light skin but I like to layer the other two over my blush when I want a shimmery finish instead of a matte one. That bronzy-purple highlight all the way to the right looks so nice layered over that lavender pink blush. They can also be used as eyeshadows, so there are really so many uses for this palette!

The blushes feel just like the Be Matte blushes (which are some of my absolute favorites on earth)...they're so soft, blendable and highly pigmented. They're also really long-lasting for powder blushes, and it's almost like they stain my cheeks because they're so pigmented.
The highlighters are like buttah...they're so dreamy and soft, almost like a cream. The swatches below are one swipe on bare skin and there's not a bad shade in the whole palette. If your skin is any darker than mine, the lightest blush shade may not show up very well but it's just because it's so light, not due to lack of pigment.

Overall, the Timeless Beauty palette might be my favorite City Color palette yet! I love having four of the "Be Matte" blushes in one palette...I always want to bring them with me when I travel but this is so much easier. Plus the highlighters are really multi-purpose for me since I can use them as blush toppers and eyeshadows as well. The formulas of both the blushes and the highlighters are to-die-for and definitely high-end quality.
