eBay Blush Palette Review

Hi girls,

Many of you may have seen the blush palette on E-bay, where you can purchase 10 blush's in a nice little palette. I spent a few days contemplating whether to buy it and in the end I did. 

I can't say I was expecting much and to be honest it was a bit of an impulse purchase, as I had decided my blush collection was lacking compared to mascara, powder etc.. and thought 10 for the price of £3.92 was a good offer. 


The palette comes with 10 different blush shades, ranging from pinks, to corals to more lilac-toned colours which are all gorgeous. There is also a mixture of semi-matte and shimmer finishes which is perfect for me. The palette is supposedly very similar to the BH cosmetics blush palette, but I haven't tried that so I cant say. 

All the colours are highly pigmented, smooth and look absolutely gorgeous with my skin tone. I was worried the more red orangy colours would look strange, but as shown when swatched below, they come off more of a coral colour.

The palette itself it made from black plastic that feels a little cheap, but sturdy. The bit where the blushes are held is thin plastic that can be removed easily. So if you use all the blushes up, you can remove it and use the pallet for something else.

As it comes from China I was a little worried it may arrive in pieces, but when I opened the parcel the palette was covered in bubble wrap and inside a box which was also wrapped in bubble wrap. It was very secure. Delivery wise, for me it took 12 days to arrive but it can take up to 23 working days


Overall I am so happy with my purchase and would highly recommend the product. The blushes are definitely worth more than they are priced!

I bought mine here and like I said before cost me £3.92 including delivery. 

Have you tried any blush palettes you can recommend?

Leave me a comment,

  2. I've seen lots of this sort of thing on eBay, and always wondered whether they would be a bit dodgy or not. Perhaps now that I know more about the quality of them, I'll give them a go!

    Thanks for the great review!

  3. I'm just going to have to get this when I get back from holiday. I use the same 2 blushes constantly, and it's really time to expand!
