 We're playing with the cheeks today. I am finally playing with the new ish at this point Patrick top major headlines blush palette volume two This was one of my favorite launches last year So I had to get my hands on this palette So we finally have it all in one piece kind of I'll show you but I ordered this one It first launched and then it got really delayed because of Hurricane Ian and then when I got it It was completely shattered so that really Put the time frame on this back and then I had to reorder it online because it wasn't available in stores yet So it took a bit and then there was a lot of other releases that I wanted to review before this So it's finally here. I still wanted to play with it even though it's past do it's still fine So finally we have it here this time the second time around it did not come completely shattered And when I say shattered, I mean all three of these powders were just obliterated It was a mess so mine did come though because I just can't win one of the highlights is out So I'm gonna leave this on my desk so that I don't forget and so that it doesn't fall But anyways, you can pick this up from Sephora, which is where I got it or the Patrick tell website I will have it linked down below used to be pricey it is $58 But I think Patrick tell just does a phenomenal job with his line that I'm willing to put the coin down So we did that with this and I just know it's gonna be good because I had the one from last year And loved it and I love this formula from Patrick toff here is the outer curtain that it's gonna come in this palette is limited Edition the one last year really was limited edition So he means business and then here is the back in case you need to see and then that's not the exciting part Here is the palette itself. It has kind of this hazy cloudy cover compared to last year's which is mirrored Like most of his line. So this one is a little bit different I like this frosty effect here and then here is the back of the palette made in USA has a 12 months shelf life Now this palette is different because it features two blush duos one cream one powder Which is a formula where familiar right and then it also features a cream highlight and powder highlight duo Which is new because the one last year did not have it. So let's take a look at the colors It's a class closure. So you have to dig your nails in it does have a full-size mirror that stands up on its own And what I love about Patrick toff's items is there is a cover over the creams So the powders don't get into the creams. So here's a closer look at the colors I'm holding the powder that fell out here. All of these are brand new shades We have giving flirty giving sun kiss and giving glossy over at the end with the highlight I'm really excited about this. We will definitely be comparing this to what I do have in my collection But first let's swatch. I'm gonna start off on this side here with giving flirty Here's the cream and the powder. Let's see So giving flirty is described as a soft pink and these are blushes So they might not swatch the best which is not a bad thing giving flirty's powder Definitely has a little sheen to it. So that's what that one looks like Next we have giving sun kissed. It's described as a golden peach though I feel like yes, this is a golden peach. It's kind of like NARS orgasm. This looks really pretty We'll have to see these two look different on the cheek and then lastly this is giving glossy So we have a transparent gloss and an opal pearlescent shade So we'll take a look at this as well. I typically don't like glossy cheek shades, but we'll mess around with it So these are the swatches it is blushes. So it is a bit on the underwhelming side We just got to get them on the cheeks and play. So let's do that Now if you watch Patrick's demo on these he suggests that you can actually use the powder down first And then the cream overtop to get a glossy glow since I do have the palette from last year And I'm very familiar with these formulas Honestly, I prefer to put the cream down first and then the powder. It's what I find works best for me So that's what I'm going to do and the first shade that we're gonna get into is giving flirty We're gonna see this hot pink. So I'm gonna start off with a sponge I like to use a beauty blender get just a little bit on there and let's see how pigmented it is It's hard to see the sponge is pink So I can't really see how much I picked up, but it's very sheer I was ready was gonna be too pigmented But you have to build it up a little bit if you want a lot of color to show which is good for you fair girls But I'm surprised because last year's was so pigmented this one I'm going back and I'm blending first So if you have a deeper complexion what you definitely want to do is to put the cream down first So that the pigment from the powder blush will pick up more, but that's really really subtle It's very pretty I'm just gonna go ahead and go into giving sun kiss next the other cream shades that we can see how the cream shades Differ from one another and you can use these cream blushes alone or the powder blushes alone You don't have to use them all but mixing in a cream and powder is gonna really help with longevity I know it's cooling down in places, but it's actually quite hot in Florida So I still like to layer and again giving sun kiss is more sheer very interesting It's just different to how it was last year, but you can see they're very pretty from what I'm able to tell I do have a little bit of powder on I did set my under eyes and put a powder bronzer down But I didn't put powder on my cheeks these actually have a very kind of glossy Effects to them which I think makes my cheeks look quite wet. So do I want to put the cream gloss down? I think I'm gonna put the cream gloss down to see how it differs from the finish of The cream blushes, but very very pretty. I actually like what giving sun kiss is giving me It's a little bit more warm and I feel like it looks really nice But the two cream blushes don't look that much different from one another if I'm being honest But anyways, let's just see how giving glossy the gloss shade looks on the cheek Want to see I normally don't like highlights like this so We'll put it over top of powder as well to see how it does once I put the blushes down Yeah, it gave a little extra right, but it's actually quite natural I don't notice it breaking up anything underneath But I wouldn't say it's like this smoothest look put a little bit more here It feels like I'm putting lip gloss on my face like a slick lip gloss not a sticky one But still kind of gives that super model glow, right? That's pretty. Let's do the powders now because I'm a big powder girl I'm gonna use my Angie hot and flashy from BK beauty a 507 see how these powders do So I'm just gonna get a little bit. These are a little bit more on the powdery side So you do get some kickback I don't want to make sure I don't have too much because a powder is Definitely giving the pigment here. Well, yeah So this is one that's gonna become more appropriate for medium to deep skin tones And I'm just looking over here to make sure everything's in focus on my monitor Sometimes I use it as a mirror isn't just me though or did this pull up the coverage from my foundation, right? You're seeing that did that over here too. It's the cream not the powder did pull it up a little bit I don't know something about the creams this year seem a little bit glossier put on. Let me feel last year's palette I don't know if it's because these are newer, but you can see a complete Formulation difference between last year's palette and this year. This is last year's palette And this is this year's this year's has more glossiness to it more wetness Compared to last year's which has a little bit more of them not matte finish But it's more soft and powdery as opposed to it being wet and glossy And I feel like the glossiness of this year's kind of pulled up the coverage underneath Is anybody noticing that anyways? Okay. I thought something looked a little different. That's what it was not crazy I see it now. We're working through the sailor. Okay, but this is quite pink I know I always go a little overboard for these but I want you to see the color because blush is hard to see I would not normally apply this much. Okay. I'm gonna go in with this Sydney Grace blush brush now And we're going into giving sunkissed again tap off the excess and pop it right on top Let's do a little bit more of an appropriate amount here now when you put these over top of this cream Because it's a little bit more Slicky this year and what I find it's also harder to kind of blend the powder blushes on top So you want to make sure you tap off and disperse it really well on your brush before you apply it on your cheek Because if you have too much powder and pigment concentrated on one part of your brush It's gonna be harder to blend out now It's not like difficult to blend out, but I felt more ease with this last year. Mmm. I love this shade giving sunkissed It's it's more my preferred color. I know we look crazy on Giving flirty, but I wanted you to see the difference and these two do look different, which is very nice I am gonna tone this down though a little bit because I want it to be a little bit more wearable looking getting a little bit of foundation on the foundation brush that I use nothing crazy I just want to tone down like right here in this area and then right here as well And this is gonna kind of make me look more like a normal human being okay So now it looks really really good putting that liquid on top did not disrupt how anything looked very pretty very my speed Oh, I did say I wanted to try the gloss highlighter over top now that we have powders down Just a little bit. I'm just gonna put it on one cheek to see if the highlight looks different with Gloss right fresh and underneath the knot. That's really subtle very pretty I like this more than I thought I was going to I think this formula is more appropriate for this glossy highlight Kind of use hopping on it into the highlight the powder highlight. I'm using a Sigma X beauty bird dream glow Putting it right on top of the gloss. Oh, I really like this highlight the color of it is so nice It really did grab onto that gloss. You can see exactly where the gloss is It's not the smoothest looking highlight like there's some powder highlights that I feel like have a finer mill This one is not the finest mill It doesn't have that smooth glide across the cheek. It's pretty though It's nice, but it's not the smoothest looking highlight Like I said, it doesn't have that super duper fine mill that I played with before So it's not the smoothest finish on the cheek, but I'm not bothered. I think it's gorgeous I'm just gonna put some like all over my eye area to lift that up because I don't have anything on my eyes Except for bronzer when in doubt put a highlight everywhere. So the highlight definitely now that I'm looking up close It's not the most flattering It doesn't have the smoothest finish because when I look straight ahead, right? You see it doesn't look amazing I think all the layering was not a good idea. Gotta keep it simple. Don't do powder cream powder cream Powder, I think that kind of messed with it. Okay. Yeah, I definitely have some thoughts about this Give me a minute. Let me get my comparison swatches ready and I'm gonna tell you how I feel about this because huh. Nope, not exactly the outcome I was expecting I did just kind of take off some of the cheek makeup and Reapply it because I needed to make sure about a few things before I kind of gave you some more final thoughts I mean, I'm gonna still update you on my speed reviews Definitely not as crazy about this. The formula is a little different even though I did kind of reapply I feel like this formula is a little fussy. You can't over layer You can't over blend because then it will start to look really dry So my skin was looking okay after I redid everything and then I kind of went through and Reblended everything at the end and then it started to break up again. I'm just I'm not And then the highlight has a little bit of some glitter I noticed I felt like just a little bit It's just not amazing like Patrick town normally does the formula of the creams in particular are quite different So I noticed even in the singles that I have from him The formulas in the creams this year in this palette are like I said more Slick and wet as opposed to the other ones which have more of a dry down to them now I'm not saying that they're dry, but they're not super ooey-gooey wet and I don't like that I found that it separated my foundation a little bit kind of took the coverage away It's just a little funky. So I did a swatch by swatch comparison between this year's palette and last year So let me show you first. Obviously, they are quite different. We're not swatching here for dupe for dupe There is very different colors in here and different formulas different Purposes like with the highlights, but for me, I was just kind of feeling the formulas out So over here is last year's palette and this is this year's palette and you can even see the differences in the creams the level of Pigmentation how these are just picked up more on my finger, but they're kind of a little patchy I'm so sad The powders are good last year's powders had a lot more pigmentation, which made them great for medium to deep skin tones This year's is definitely more light to medium friendly. There's different and I thought that there was some similarities in She's that girl to The new palette so she's that girl is right here and this is she's sun-kissed cream blush And then she's flirty powder blush kind of similar not exact dupes, but similarities Again the same thing with the formula differences. Now. I hadn't watched anybody else's review on this So I don't know if anybody else noticed what I noticed, but I'm not feeling this one's like I was feeling last year It's just not as good. It's not a bad palette. I don't think it's bad quality I think it's a little bit more fussy than it needs to be especially for the price point It's just not as good as last year's. I know better can be done. That being said, I mean if you're more on the light fair side I think you will like this a lot more, but this isn't going to be for everybody I feel like the individuals have a little bit of better quality to them So that's just how I'm feeling this one just seemed a little off. I don't think it's bad like I said I still think it's good quality. I will continue to use this and update you guys But I'm probably more likely to reach for last year's over this year's at least with the cream blushes I like the cream blushes in here and the old one much more than this year.
