The Unzipped Cheek Palette is packaged in a soft cardboard case with a magnetic closure. It's slim, not too large or bulky and perfect for travel. It also comes with a nice large mirror inside and there are four blush shades...two matte and two shimmer.
- Underrated is a warm medium pink with a matte finish.
- Unashamed is a bright cool-toned pink with a matte finish.
- Unapologetic is a medium rosy brown with a golden sheen.
- Unimaginable is a light peachy pink with a shimmery finish.
Every shade is intensely pigmented, soft, and easy to pick up. I've found myself tapping my brush a lot to make sure I don't go overboard, particularly with the darker shades Unashamed and Unapologetic. Still, they blend so nicely and have a long wear time...about 7-8 hours. They also mix well with each other so you can really play with a few shades at a time. Yesterday I tried wearing Unashamed and I love the cool tone that it has but it was a little bit bright for daytime wear so I toned it down with Underrated on top and it looked gorgeous. The day before, I layered Unimaginable over Unapologetic to add a little more pink to a mostly bronzy shade. So there are a lot of combinations with this palette. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to take pictures of me wearing these shades, but I'll try to add those to this post as soon as I can. My little guy has been sick all week so it's been hard to get a lot of blogging done.
Overall, if you're a blush palette hoarder like I am, you need this one for your collection! I'm digging these shades for Spring and Summer and this will be a nice little palette to travel with.
You can grab yours now at Ulta.com.
What a stunning palette! I didn't realize it was online only, no wonder I have never seen this in stores. By the way, I just love your swatches, I think you have the best ones! They're always well lit and I really feel like they're true to the actual colors. If I compare them to what the palette looks like they look the same.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Lily! I really appreciate you saying that, it made my day. :) I always take my swatch photos in natural daylight (but not directly in the sun) and I've found that it gives the truest color for photos. The only problem is I only have a select number of hours to do it during the day and if I don't take my photos then, I have to wait until the next day. Same thing when it rains! But it's worth it.
DeleteI've been wanting a blush palette for awhile now. Think I'll get this one. Especially since I just got a 20% off coupon from Ulta today. The shades look great and isn't crazy expensive.
ReplyDeleteI know you'll love it! I'm really enjoying it and you're right, its not crazy expensive. Ooh I need to keep a lookout for that 20% off coupon! :)
DeleteI bought this when it was released last year, and I really love it. I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying it, too.
