Cheekleaders Pink Squad Mini Cheek Palette

I am so impressed with the quality of this mini face palette! I am very particular with my skin and face routine and this is perfect for on-the-go or even a full glam look! It just gives your face this freshness, glow and touch of color that makes you look healthy and hidrated! I’ve experienced no fall out and zero cakiness. The bronzer is a tad dark for my skin tone (fair-light cool undertones) but a little goes a long way! I’m sure it will work best during the summer months. The blush is slightly and wonderfully scented and very sheer and gives your cheeks a kiss of warmth. Very dewy finish. The highlight is super creamy, intense/ blinding without looking powdery or chalky. I really love this product and will continue to purchase!

Cannot recommend this product enough! The highlight alone makes this product worth it, it is BLINDING. While the blush is a little on the sheer-side, it is still able to be built up and provides great color. Using all three on the eyes also creates a natural, easy, on-the-go look as well, I got so many compliments this weekend and had multiple housemates of mine ask where to buy. This product is easily now in my day to day routine!! I really hope Benefit adds "cookie" permanently to their line, I can't get enough of it for highlight, brow bone, nose, and inner corner. Absolutely stunning.

I am so bummed, as I wanted to love this! I'm a big fan of Hoola and thought the other two shades were gorgeous. Unfortunately, I will be returning. Based on the other reviews, I feel like there may have been something wrong with my palette. Upon opening, the palette had a very strong sunscreen-like smell. I first tried Gold Rush and in one swipe, my brush picked up all the metallic pigment, leaving behind a dusty rose color (not gold to be seen). After that first swipe, my brush (I tried a few) could not pick up ANY pigment/powder from any shade. Even when I really dug in (almost scraping), nada! Perhaps purchase in store so you can make sure your palette has not gone bad.

It wouldn’t let me review the bronze trio (which is what I actually am reviewing) BUT I just wanted to say this is genuinely my favorite cheek palette of all time. The bronzer is perfect (I’m VERY fair) the blush is almost an exact replica of MAC Warm Soul and the highlighter is AMAZING. For more of a monochromatic look, which I prefer (for work days especially) I put the bronzer in my crease, blend out so its not harsh and then with my fingers rub the highlight ‘Cookie’ all over my lid, pair with some eyeliner and that’s it. I love it. It’s SUCH an easy look and I am confident, along with my foundation choice that this combo will wear beautifully for the bulk of the day, and gracefully wear off after about 10 hours. I’m obsessed!! PLEASE KEEP THE TRIOS. They’re great!

When I saw they had made a mini version of the bigger palette I was excited. I mostly just wanted the highlighter shade. However I quite like most of this mini palette. The blush in this is pretty, however it doesn't really work for me. It's just not pigmented enough to show up on me. I have light to medium skin. Since I do have this in the palette I'm going to play around with the blush shade more to see if there is a way that I can use it. The bronzer is really nice, not my favorite, but still one that I do enjoy using. It blends out really well and has good pigmentation. The only thing is you have to use a light hand with this as this is pretty pigmented in this palette and can be intense if not careful with it, so go in lightly and build it up. Now the highlighter is amazing. I just can't get enough of it. It just gives you this wet, amazing, intense glow to the skin without looking like a big stripe on your face. You can also use a lighter hand to get a more subtle glow if you aren't the one to like a strong and intense glow. It really is a pretty shade and blends like a dream. I hope that Benefit comes out with a single of the highlighter shade. Less
