My two cents
ColourPop My Two Cents Blush & Lite Stix Duo ($ 14.00 for 0.61 oz.) Includes a peach and gold cream highlighter complemented by a peach and brown cream blush, both in a twist-up stick shape. I’m a fan of this formula so it’s nice to see some additions and I think the two hues work together to create a cohesive cheek look. Both shades performed consistently with the formula; buildable coverage, easy to apply and long-lasting.

Spot On is a medium peach with moderate, warm undertones and a brilliant sheen. It had a slightly dewy finish that was noticeably baptismal but didn’t slip when worn or go so far that it looked oily. The texture was thin, emollient and spreadable with a bit of a gel-like quality, which in my opinion leads to a formulation that works well on bare skin as well as on base products, as was the case here. It had medium buildable pigmentation like the one marketed at the fingertips and gave greater coverage than a paintbrush. It stayed on nicely for nine hours before fading a little.

Formula overview
$ 8.00 / 0.33 oz. – $ 24.24 per ounce
The formula is said to “blend easily” with a “natural, skin-like finish” that can be layered or applied to bare skin. The brand recommends applying straight from the tube for greater coverage and using a brush to pick up the product for less coverage, though the coverage “easily builds color to your heart’s content”. They dry to a semi-solid finish – slightly baptismal, definitely “natural, skin-like” in appearance, but not overly sticky or really wet looking. I haven’t found them hike or exercise a lot, so the formula is still more durable at seven to nine hours with minimal exercise. So far, they have also been applied and worn well over the foundation. They are not transfer-safe, but transfer-resistant; They don’t smudge if accidentally touched, but they’re not completely locked.
The pigmentation varied a little from shade to shade, but most shades were semi-opaque to fully opaque when applied straight from the tube in a “swipe” motion, although I think mimicking this on the cheeks is not as easy as it is Compared to my arm. I preferred to pick up the product with my fingertip, pat the apple of my cheek and spread it up and out, then use a clean fingertip to spread and soften the edges as needed. I appreciated the fact that even the deeper shades didn’t seem to “sink” into my pores and could be applied and blended as easily as very light, more my skin-but-better (literally my skin!) Shades. I would describe that the formula can be built up from semi-transparent to medium-strength, with a semi-opaque opacity being possible, but the formula has enough slip that it noticeably shimmers out even when heavily applied.
The consistency was slightly emollient, light and thin with good spreadability and agitation; It didn’t lift the base products, but it still worked well on bare skin. I haven’t seen it lift or stain the foundation over time, even when I initially applied the foundation, but I would recommend (as with most cream-based cheek formulas!) Matte foundation for the best results (the dewy one!) Finish plays well with a more skin-like base).
Oh, the caps have the names of the products, but the rest of the tube doesn’t. So if you’ve opened more than one, be sure to put the correct lid back on!

embossed is a light-medium, peach-colored gold with warmer, orange undertones and a pearlescent sheen. The texture was light, pliable and easy to spread on my skin as it was thin but flexible so that it doesn’t lift the basic products and sits well on bare skin if desired. It had a semi-transparent, buildable color release that could be applied evenly and easily blended. It wore well for eight hours before it visibly faded.
