theBalm INSTAIN Blushes – Swatches & Review (Partial)

Press Sample
Good morning lovelies! I hope you all are doing better than I am! I haven’t slept in 2 days and came down with a horrible cold. Boo πŸ™  I have way too many things to catch up on blog wise so I have to pull myself together and pump out some blog posts!

Today I have three gorgeous new blushes from theBalm to share with you! The INSTAIN collection consists of 6 matte shades that are incredibly long wearing and once they wear off a bit, they leave a beautiful stain on your cheeks so you don’t have to keep touching up throughout the day! Let’s take a peek at the 3 I have to show you!

First off, this packaging is ADORABLE. I absolutely love the magazine esque look of them. If these were in print size, I would totally hang them up in my beauty room! 
Swiss Dot – Matte Peach

Argyle : Petal Pink
Houndstooth : Mauve

All three of these are highly pigmented, silky and so easy to work with! A little goes a long way! I would highly recommend these! theBalm is frequently on hautelook and having sales, so keep an eye out to get these at a great discounted price! 
I absolutely LOVE Houndstooth! 
Have you tried these blushes from theBalm? What are your thoughts?

    I got a sample size of Swiss Dot and I love it! Very pigmented, but gorgeous shade. I’ll have to try the others at some point!

    P.S. Feel better!!

    I have a sample size of one of the shades (I’m forgetting which one ugh) and I love it! It stayed on forever and was so smooth!
