THE VERDICT:

Pink Sugar ups the blush game in department stores with Sweet Cheeks HD Cheek Color, a collection of highlighters, blushes, and a contouring powder; I can't remember the last time department store blush products got this good so it's really worth checking out! Also, if you've been dreaming of owning at least a pan of NARS' world famous blushes, but are on a budget, these are the dupes that you'd want to have!

PINK SUGAR SWEET CHEEKS HD CHEEK COLOR IN DETAIL

A collection of silky, pigmented blushes in juicy colors; contains Aloe Vera and Vitamins A, C, and E to keep skin soft and protected. The entire collection features 8 shades.

Packaging is sleek, chic, and fun; it's quite handy and when you hold it, it feels and looks expensive.

Check out the color swatch below:

For the blush products, there are 5 shades:

Summer Nights- matte midtone orange shade (Dupe for NARS Gina)
Tokyo Rush- matte candy pink (Dupe for NARS Desire)
Paris Lights- shimmer peachy pink (Dupe for NARS Orgasm)
Miss Independent- matte Coral Rose (Dupe for NARS Gilda)
Wanderlust- matte cool pastel pink (Dupe for NARS Gaiety)

For the bronzer, there's only one shade: 

South Beach- a bronze shade with gold shimmer (Dupe for NARS Laguna)

For the highlighters, there are two:

Sin- frost white gold shade (Dupe for NARS Albatross)

Concrete Jungle- shimmer pearl champagne (Dupe for NARS Multiple Copacabana)

The products have a silky texture that applies smoothly on the skin and yields light to heavy pigmentation; it is virtually unscented and the color payoff of the products don't look cheap at all. One caveat is fallout is pretty intense for some shades like Paris Lights, Concrete Jungle, and Summer Nights and the Pink shades are too loud for my liking.

PINK SUGAR SWEET CHEEKS HD CHEEK COLOR IN DETAIL

South Beach

- This shade impressively dupes NARS Laguna. Thank you, Pink Sugar, for saving me a couple of bucks because I almost caved in to this bronzer a few weeks before meeting your brand. :)

Concrete Jungle

- Errr...Not too fond of this shade because it yields chunky glitters that sit and get stuck on top of the skin.

Sin

- GOLD HIGHLIGHTER!?! YASSS! Sin is for those moments when you want to put on that contrived, editorial- worthy glow; its Gold finish doesn't look off; in fact, it flatters a lot of skin tones!

Miss Independent

- Pink Sugar got the right Coral for Filipina skin tones on this one.

Paris Lights

- Paris Lights is what you imagined NARS Orgasm to be: warmer and bit bolder for it to show up on warm skin tone, but I just find the glitters on this one too chunky.

Tokyo Rush

- When I'm feelin' cheeky, Tokyo Rush is the way to go.

Wanderlust

- This is the kind of bright Pink that I will wear. To some extent, I even think that Wanderlust is a near dupe of Bobbi Brown's powder blush in Pale Pink, my favorite bright Pink blush shade!

Summer Nights

- You know, I just discarded my favorite orange blush of all time, NARS Gilda, just because it's 3 years old already. Won't be buying anytime soon because I have Summer Nights!

Except for the chunky glitters, Pink Sugar Sweet Cheeks HD Cheek Color is a pretty impressive masstige blush range. Again, if you're dreaming of any of the NARS blushes I've listed in this post, but don't have the budget for it now, these are my recommended alternatives!
