NYX Baked Blush + Illuminator + Bronzer

The NYX baked blush + illuminator + bronzer that I own is in the shade Pink Fetish. The product claims to be a blush along with an illuminator and bronzer. This shade does not work as a bronzer.  However, I have not tried the other shades and a few shades might work well as a bronzer too. 

                                            



NYX Baked Blush was launched in 2014, it comes in twelve different shades for $6.99 each. At first, I was skeptical about getting one. The first thought that crossed my mind was "It's pink and has a little shimmer to it, what if it looks extremely glittery on my face?" A little sparkle harms no one so, I decided to give it a shot.


                                                 

When I first swatched this blush, I was not too impressed. It does not swatch well. When i applied this shade, it looked okay. However, it took a while to build color which, was a little annoying. The lasting power of this blush is average. For me, it stayed on for about five hours.  I have combination skin and felt like it looked a little dry after a while. This might differ from person to person.  It does have a slight glitter to it which fades away after a while of application and leaves your skin looking dry. This I would say is a down side to this product.

It took a while for me to swatch :)

These are not the best blush in the world. They are not too bad either. If you want a blush with a slight highlight (glitter) to it for a short wear, this will work well. Again, I have not tried all their shades and I'm not sure if this is the case with the other shades as well. 
If anyone of you has tried other shades in this range, do let me know what's your take on it. :)
