  • Blendable 
  • Affordable 
  • Buildable
  • Long-lasting
  • Cruelty Free
  • Versatile color range that could used year round

  • Definitely a must for a makeup artist's collection. 
  • No mirror
  • Powdery smell 
  • Not sold in individual pans so if you use one color more than another you can't replace it without having to purchase a new palette
  • Although the packaging is sleek and thin, it can sometimes be a bit tricky to open.


Overall Thoughts:

The Morphe Brushes 9B "The Blushed Brush Palette" is worth every penny. This palette was originally $39.99 and is now on their site for $19.99. There are also many bloggers and MUA who have affiliate codes that will give you an additional 10% of the price. The only bummer is the shipping and handling but they do now offer free shipping and handling for orders over $100. So if you are like us, you'll probably order a few palettes and brushes cause once you dip your brush into these puppies trust me you'll fall madly in love. From the quality and versatile range of colors, we can't stop raving over how great these blushes truly are. The only recommendation is when you do dip your brush in make sure to tap off the excess because lord oh lord these babies are truly pigmented. The slender packaging will allow any MUA on the go the ease of reducing their clutter while traveling from client to client. The only issue that I could possibly think of is the fact that once you hit pan on a color you can't replace it in the palette or buy it individually. Also, I tried to depot the palette and that was a no go. I didn't want to force them out of the palette and have the blushes crack because I would have fallen into a deep deep depression. The no mirror situation is based on personal preference. I personally don't like using palette mirrors to do my makeup but I could see the perks of one especially when on the go or traveling. The smell is not overwhelming unless you stick your nose into the palette so that again comes down to personal preference. So all in all if you love an affordable palette that can be used all year round and on every skin tone with great pigmentation, then this baby is for you.

Ladies and Gents! If you are reading this, you have made it halfway through the week and the weekend is vastly approaching us.
