Benefit Cosmetics Cheeky Sweet Spot Blush Palette – Swatches, Review & Comparisons!

Press SampleAffiliate Link

It’s a blushin’ blockbuster! For the first time ever, the ever so famous Benefit box o’powders are all together in one cheeky sweet spot!

When rumors first started about Benefit coming out with a blush palette, I was so ecstatic! Even though I own every single box powder, I knew I had to get my hands on this limited edition release. If you have never tried Benefit blushes, they are absolutely wonderful. Very highly pigmented, easy to blend and don’t judge me – but they smell REALLY good! 
The Cheeky Sweet Spot, which retails for $36 is a STEAL. The estimated retail value on this is $119.  You receive 5 blushes, a bronzer, a mini highlighter and a mini brush. 

The packaging is absolutely adorable! It comes in a very sturdy tin case & kind of has that old school vintage vibe to it.  There is also a plastic sheet on the top that comes right off. 
And here they are in all their glory! Shades included are :
Dandelion (0.14oz) –  Sheer ballerina pink face powder
Bella Bamba (0.17oz) – Watermelon with gold shimmer undertones
Sugarbomb (0.21oz) – 4 Complimenting shimmer shades of peach, plum, pink & rose
Hoola (0.17oz) – Matte tan bronzer
Coralista (0.17oz) – Warm coral-pink
Rockateur (0.17oz) – Rose Gold 

Watts Up Highlighter (0.05oz) – Cream to powder champagne highlight




A full size Benefit box powder has 0.28 oz of product, and let’s be real – When are you ever going to go through that much?! I found all of the shades to have the same formula and pigmentation as if I were to buy them in a single box. The only thing I noticed was different, were some of the blushes were a completely different color than my singles. See what I mean below!

And here they are side by side (The Sweet Spot is on the left & the box powders are on the right)

So as you can see, there’s a pretty significant different in most of the shades. I’m not sure what the reasoning is for that, but just something to keep in mind if you want to purchase this palette! 
Overall, I definitely think it’s a GREAT buy for a chance to test out some really awesome Benefit blushes. This is already sold out in most places such as Sephora, Ulta & the Benefit website, but I would keep checking back to see if it gets restocked! (I did find it still at Macy’s)
What are your thoughts on the Cheeky Sweet Spot? Are you surprised at some of the differences in the shades?

    This is an adorable palette that I almost fell for during the Sephora VIB event. I would have gone for it but I just bought another palette of blushes. Enjoy it!

    I have been eyeing this! Kind of a bummer with the shade inconsistency though!

    I actually like all the shades in this one. Since I don’t have any of these, the inconsistencies wouldn’t be a problem.

    That’s crazy how different the colors are. Some like me, with really fair skin, is going to see a big difference, since is looks like all the shades are darker.

    If this had my fav Benefit blush in it, I would have bought it! I love Dandelion the most, but if it had Georgia Peach in it – I woulda been SOLD!

    This is such a cute palette and the packaging is adorable! I can’t justify purchasing since I have all of the blushes in singles.

    I hate it when there are colour discrepancies like that. What if you love something in the box set and use it all up, there’s no way to buy it again!
