Hot Cheeks On a Budget | BEST Drugstore Blush

If there is one thing that’s hard to find at the drugstore, it’s a really nice, pigmented blush.  Luckily,  I have found some really great ones, and they are all super affordable! 

Let’s talk a little Wet ‘N Wild.  I for one, am obsessed with the brand.  Their cheek products are so nice  and so affordable!  My absolute favorite of the bunch is this Coloricon Blush in Pearlescent Pink.  This is one of my go-to’s.  The color is a warm pink with a hint of peach and some fine shimmer.  It looks very natural and fresh, and you get a ton of product!  Just be careful not too get too much on your brush.  

Another pretty blush from the brand is In A Purple Haze from the Ombrรฉ collection.  This is a pale pastel purple color that looks so pretty and glowy on the cheeks.  I love any kind of blush with a purple-y undertone to it, I feel like it’s really flattering on my skintone.

Next, I have another go-to blush favorite, NYX blush in Peach.  The name of this blush is peach, but it is not very peach.  The color is a matte, baby pink-the type of color that would work so good on any skintone.  It gives a really natural flush, and it wears all day long.

Now, Milani’s Blush in Luminoso is a cult-favorite.  It is a dupe for the ever popular NARS Orgasm blush, and is a perfect peachy pink color with golden shimmer.  I love this blush for the summertime, it looks so beautiful and glowy on the skin.

Lastly, I have to mention the ELF Blush Palette in Light.  This is some bang for your buck right here. There are four shades in this convenient little palette, a matte baby pink, a matte warm pink, a bronzer, and a peachy pink with shimmer.  These are so pigmented and blend so easy onto the skin.

Here are the swatches:
