Detrivore Cosmetics' Blushes Swatches and Review

I loooooooove Detrivore (click here and here for previous swatches). Not only is their makeup amazing, but their prices are as well. From time to time they also offer some of the best sales I have seen. I bought these blushes during one of those sales. A new sale starts November 1st. 10 gram jars, including blushes will be 3 for $10 and 5 gram jars, including eyeshadows, will be 10 for $20.

One problem I have with indie blushes is that many of them tend to be too glittery and pigmented. They almost just seem like eyeshadows in a bigger jar. These blushes are perhaps my favorite indie blushes. The finish is matte, but they aren't chalky, and almost have a satin-y look about them. They're build-able, but you can wear them more sheer as well. I love the soft, buttery texture. Despite being a powder, they don't look powdery on my skin at all.My only complaint is that I find the pictures for the blushes on the Detrivore website to be inaccurate. The tone is correct, but they look a lot darker/bolder than they really are.

This one looks kind of scary in the swatch, but I really like the way it looks on my cheeks. It's subtle, but pretty.

So what do you guys think? Even without the 3 for $10 sale, these are still a great deal.

  3. Ooh I want to get Concubine. I've been eyeing off Detrivore blushes for a while now. It's good to know they aren't as vidid as they look on the website because they look SO bold.

    I guess that's what drew my eye in the first place but it's encouraging that they're wearable!
