Pale Products and More

Awhile ago I was looking for good drugstore blushes and was eyeing the Maybelline Fit Me ones, so I got one to try from Ulta. Then I was in Walgreens and they were doing buy two get the third free so obviously I had to get some more.

The retail for $5.99 for .16 oz, to compare; the Wet N Wild Ombre blushes are $4.99 for .3 oz, and the Milani Baked Blushes are $7.99 for .12 oz. The Maybelline Fit Me Blushes are said to be creamy and smooth and true to color.

I have the shades Buff, Nude, Mauve, and Plum. There are no descriptions anywhere of what the shades are and although the names are pretty self explanatory, I still like to see the brand description of shades. All of them have a satin finish except for Plum which is matte. Let's ignore the fact that I have long hair in 3/4 of these pics, and short in one, lmao.


Buff is a warm toned neutral shade that pulls slighlty peachy on my skin tone, especially if I pair it with a warmer eye.



Nude is a warm rose colored neutral that pulls peachy on me as well. I really don't prefer these first two, as they don't function as true neutrals like I was hoping.



Mauve is a slightly mauvey pink that, again, pulls warm on my skin.



Plum is a warm plummy shade that actually flatters me more than the other three.


Overall the formulation of these is lovely but unfortunately I just don't really like the shades I picked up! They all have intense pigmentation, but not to the point where its hard to use them, and blend out like a dream, so if any of these shades are your jam, I do recommend them! I find its really hard for me to find flattering blush, so I'm not counting that against these at all.

After loving my NARS The Multiple in Copacabana (review here), and mini version of Orgasm I got as a freebie, I had to purchase another shade. Soooo here we are.

The NARS The Multiple retail for $36 for .50 oz, to compare; Nudestix Nudies All Over Face Color is $30 for .25 oz, and Fenty Beauty Match Stix are $25 for .25 oz. This product is "buildable with sheer, high impact color with a powder soft finish".

The particular shade I have, Motu Tane, is a part of the Pop Goes the Easel Sheer Pop Collection, so it has a sheerer finish than the original Multiple sticks. It is described as a nude pink, and has a slight shimmer finish. It is slightly warm toned. I included a picture comparing this shade to the regular formula Multiple stick I have in Orgasm. It has less glitter than Orgasm, and isn't as warm and peachy. I only see a slight different in opacity that isn't really noticeable.

I like to apply this by tapping my damp sponge directly onto the stick itself, then blending it onto my face. I have applied the stick directly to my face then blended, which works fine, but its a bit harder to get evenly blended that way.



I find this can be built to light medium opacity (altho I do wear a pretty light wash, which is soo hard to pick up in pictures) where it still isn't like HEY I'M WEARING BLUSH, but its a nice subtle color, which I much prefer. I love the finish, as it gives my skin a nice healthy glow. It wears well for 8+ hours, doesn't face, and sets itself enough so that it doesn't slide around my face or rub off.

Overall I love this product! I prefer it to the other stick blush I have, the Nudestix All over Face Color (which I have upcoming reviews on) and wear this probably weekly. I doubt I'll ever run out of it, its huge for the amount I use! But if I did, I'd definitely repurchase. 10/10 for sure.

Physicians Formula is such an odd brand to me. Looking at one of their displays in a drugstore or Ulta, they look just as shitty as like, Almay or something. But they seem to have so many hidden gems? The new Butter Blush seemed to be one of those hidden gems, so naturally I had to pick it up.
