Extra glazed
ColourPop Extra glazed 4-pan cheek pallet ($ 12.00 for 0.3 ounces) includes an off-white highlighter, a shimmery powder red, and two matte blushes: champagne gold, pearlescent mid-tone pink, lighter matte pink, and matte rose brown. They were pretty fair in terms of pigmentation; The blush was more buildable and hard to overdo, although it does pay off to appear on the skin.
I found the texture of the blush to be very smooth and finely ground, which didn’t seem to stick as well to my arm (which is quite dry) but worked well on my face (ultimately, where I test cheek products!). .

Smoke ‘n whistles
Smokin ‘whistles is a pale champagne gold with warm undertones and a pearlescent sheen. It had more opaque pigmentation when applied with a fingertip, while sharper, more buildable coverage could be achieved with a brush (as commercially available). The highlighter had a smoother, more pliable texture that was almost wet to the touch, but had the spongy consistency signature of the formula. It stayed on well for 10 hours before fading a little.

Formula overview
$ 8.00 / 0.13 oz. – – $ 61.54 per ounce
The formula is said to go on “smoothly” and have a “natural and healthy blush” that has “long wear” and “can be layered to the desired intensity”. It is a light to moderately powdery powder red with a semi-transparent to semi-opaque, buildable color display. The consistency feels drier and thinner, and while it feels silky, I’ve found that the type of powder blush can be difficult to evenly distribute on the skin, depending on your skin type or base preferences. The drier the skin / base, the better the formula would blend, but natural oils or slip caused an uneven blush and were difficult to fade out. The wear and tear averaged between seven and eight hours for me.

Whirled around
Whirled around is a lighter, medium-dark pink with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had a semi-transparent paint cover that could be built up with three layers to form a mostly opaque cover. The consistency felt soft and smooth and was miscible on my skin, but it was a bit powdery and stuck better to my cheeks (which are not as dry as my arm). In practice, I did not notice any dryness / powderiness, only on my arm. It wore itself decently for eight hours before showing signs of fading.

Strawberry strudel

It had semi-transparent, buildable pigmentation (up to semi-opaque with three layers) paired with a moderately powdery texture, though it felt finely ground and silky to the touch.
