BYS Blush Trio - 4 Blush Palettes to Drive You Wild!

 
When I saw these gorgeous BYS blush trios for $4.50 at my local discount store, I knew I had to take them all home with me. The RRP price is $6.50, and I would still happily pay that per palette, no problems. I love the idea of having three blush shades in one handy palette, and I love that the packaging is clear on top so that you can see which palette you are picking up at a glance.

 
The packaging, while feeling a little cheap, is still really sturdy and has the positive feature of being really slim so it sits in my blush drawer with ease. I have a stack of the BYS blush singles which I also like, but I really think they’ve stepped it up with such bright shades this time around! All you need is the Real Techniques Stippling Brush for these to all be wearable, and just remember that a light hand works wonders with blushes like this and you’ll be fine. I have been wearing primarily these for well over a month now, and am showing no signs of stopping!



My obsession with bright pink cheeks has meant that On The Brightside has really won my heart over. I would say that I wear all 3 shades from this one pretty regularly, including the matte coral pink and the shimmery paler pink as well. For dolly pink lovers (Chanel Pink Explosion, MAC Dollymix, etc.) this is a bargain.

 Endless Summer is the next shade in this line up, a beautiful trio of burnt coral oranges that looks great on pale skin and darker skin alike. This might be best suited to lovers for shades like Nars Orgasm, or other coral toned shades like MAC Springsheen.

 
I would have to say that my very favourite palette from the 4 available is Coral Me In, and it is all because of that shimmery centre shade. I fell head over heels for this pretty shade, and the shimmer is so beautiful when buffed into the skin with my stippling brush that I just can’t get over it. Signs of blush obsession, anyone? It really makes me look 'glowy' rather than shimmery, and we all love that!

The fourth and final palette to choose from is probably my least favourite, though I think it would be the most wearable for the masses if my guess is correct. Heart Skipped A Beat is a trio of paler pink shades, one with a nice plummy tone, one a candy floss sort of tone and a mid tone in the centre. I think they are still really pretty and have been wearing them quite a bit as well, but we have to pick favourites in this beauty bloggin’ biz, ya know?
 
All of that being said, I would highly recommend that you grab a palette or two if you happen to track them down. They are being released as we speak, with lots of shelves already full of the bright trios. While you aren’t getting Burberry quality silkiness in the formula (or the luxe packaging) these are much better than their price tag suggests, and I have had no problems with them being too chalky or powdery since I apply them with the best brush - Cough buy the RT stippling brush cough.
 
Which palette would you grab for first?
Do you prefer shimmery blushes to matte or satin finishes?
 
 
*I purchased all of these with my own money. Honesty,always.

    1. @Tashi I'll have to go over and look at your post now :) How did you like them? Coral Me In, that middle shade oh my it is amazing. I haven't tried the Sleek offerings, but sort of feel I don't need to now lol

  4. This might come through as a double post and if it does, I apologise!

    What discount store did you find them at? I looked in Kmart but they don't have the triple blushers and I would love to try these out.

    Thanks

    1. That's alright Gladys! I bought mine at a shopping centre $2 shop, I haven't seen any in my Kmart stores yet either (always slow there I find!) but try your local $2 shops! I think they are still rolling out everywhere now, they are quite new!

  5. Oh. My. God. I have been dying to get my paws on these, but I can't find them anywhere! (And I'm on a pesky spending ban anyway so if I did find them, the only way I'd be getting them is if I forced my bf to buy them for me.... which will happen haha!)
    They look AMAZING! Great swatches too lovely! xx

  6. These are just so so so beautiful! I've been looking around for them but haven't had much luck. I will definitely be the owner of at least two of them one day though!

  7. The packaging of these remind me of Sleek :)
    Not the outer packaging but the fact that they are trios :)
    I think I would most definitely pick up Coral me In and maybe also Endless Summer :)
    hugs

    1. @shortylegsbeauty They are probably inspired by Sleek, I can see the similarities too but I love the clear outer casing of these :) We have to order Sleek online here so is a bit more of a pain to get a hold of! x

  10. Heart skipped a beat is beautiful! I need that trio! But I think I may have got something really similar, the sleek blush by 3 in sweet cheeks, i think its similar! But those look soo good!
