Hey Guys! The Tarte blushes DO stain your cheeks and last all day on me! Watching the video back I applied WAY too much, so in the future, I'll probably just do one layer with my fingers and a sponge (like I did at first with the last shade)...I think the brush made me go a little overboard, haha! Also I agree with the comments that the Elf blush looks better than the CT...watching the video back I can see what you guys are seeing and the CT has a lot of gold shimmer in it so it doesn't look as smooth. Also the elf Putty formula is so easy to blend, it just looked more seamless (I thought).
Thank you for using the word alternative rather than the abbreviation “ dupe” when describing similar products. Sounds so much more intelligent and accurate. Also the word is so over used, I think that people are really tired of hearing “ dupe”. Also I heard that the Bobby Brown Pot Rouge are nice blushes. Have you reviewed them yet? Great video though thanks ! Have a great day too!
Jen, you’ve been killing it lately. You clearly put so much work into your videos. It’s appreciated! The Tarte blushes were pretty but I think you’ve given us many less expensive options which produce a very similar result. The rose color was my favorite on you. Thanks for letting us know about the staining and overall performance after you wore them. Seems like a great product option for someone who really needs to keep their makeup for hours on end. Thanks and see you on the next one! ❤
For the CT new color the dupe is to find a similar liquid blush and add a dot of liquid highlight. I've seen other people do this in other colors and it's crazy how much they give off the same vibe as her $42 blushes.
I tried the Neutrogena Moisture Smooth color stick in the shade - Soft Raspberry. It's a really nice shade, I love it 🥰 The Clinique Chubby stick lipsticks I didn't like the texture of them. Take care everyone
I just got the new L.A. Colors Blush Up cheek and lip cream and absolutely love it. It was only like $2.25 at Dollar General and it is so blendable with buildable color.
I love these videos, it's super helpful when you look through your collection for similar products, I don't need 2 products that give the same look. Thank you for all the hard work you do!
I have really come to appreciate your videos so much, especially because I find your product descriptions to be very thorough and most importantly (to me) accurate!
Thanks for swatching the new Blonzers to the original shades, I was curious about the Kiss of Copper compared to the Kiss of Spice, and see that they are very different, I still might pick it up just to go lighter for bronzer.
What a great video. I really appreciate the and face swatches. I’m very interested in the Tarte blushes they look so juicy and plumping on your skin 😊 thanks for the wear test notes
Thanks, Jen! I love these videos and appreciate the work you put into this! So many creators are doing hauls and first impressions of these new blushes, and although I'm interested in several of them, I always tell myself: "Wait until Jen does the swatches and comparisons!" Your videos always remind me that I already have similar products in my collection and I don't "need" all these new things - saving myself both money and counter space! ♡♡
Loved this video. I love how you have this huge library of blushes and you can automatically search for dupes. I think these new tarte blushes are really pretty but I am on a drugstore budget. Thanks for all the succinct and helpful reviews.😊
So glad I saw this video before I bought the new CT blush! It looks like a wayyy different color on the website like it would be a shimmery version of Dream Pop but it definitely is not by the looks of this video! Thank you for sharing so quickly!
Appreciate your swatches and comparisons! I was hoping the Kiss of Mauve would be more cool toned or have a little lilac in it, esp since I think BM discontinued their bounce and blur blush in mauve sunrise 😢
Wonderful video showing us the newest blushes with swatches then real demonstrations on your skin! On top of that, you showed us so many alternatives with swatches… who could ask for more? Your knowledge of so many products, their consistency, their wearability, etc. is so appreciated 🥰🥰. To me, there are so many products we can choose from without spending an insane amount of money! You have introduced us to many great products with excellent price points🌸. Thanks for such a deep dive into these new blushes!👍👍
UA-cam never notified me that you uploaded a video. I had to go to your channel to check if you uploaded. I absolutely love your content and wouldn't miss it for the world. ❤
Hallo Jen, Oh I am very excited to try the new CT blush, but also I think I need to add Nabala into my life. I will be trying the tarte in the future too.
Had my eyes on the new bare minerals blonzer shades but the brown one is wayyyy more brown that I thought by looking at the promo images. Thanks for the swatches!
I love watching your videos as they’re jam packed with useful information and comparisons to save us time and $$$ HOWEVER regretfully I’m on a self imposed and indefinite no buy on blush and all lip products. I’ll be “shopping my stash” til I’m old and gray… well gray, I’m already old lol. Thanks Jen, have a beautiful weekend!💖🌸
Love how brave you are to try all of these. The texture of the tarte would have thrown me. Some great new colors though. Not sure I am jumping on any of these yet. I love blush. I still need to try the nabla ones. ❤ Jen you are the best. Hands down.🎉
Hi Jen, your videos are always helpful. I think the ELF and Ct are really close blushes. You don't need a highlighter with either one. I think all of the blushes were very pretty but a bit different when applying. Thank you so much Jen for a great video on blushes and it is very helpful to me as yours usually are.🥰❤💗💖🧡💙
this was super helpful! Honestly i'm so glad i didnt impulsively buy the new bareminerals shades. I love a buildable blush and those are too pigmented for me!
Thank you for making such a comprehensive review with dupes and comparison cheek applications! That really takes a review into a new level of helpful! Thank you! The only downside is that I now want to pick all of these up along with that persona blush!
I really love the blush of Nabla 😊. Someday, I am going to try the blushes of Charlotte Tilbury and elf, because I really like the glow in blushes. Very nice video ❤️🙂. I add my list of products, when you show us. I don't have warm blush. Love from Greece ❤️😍😊.
Jen your content, sequencing, comparisons and talk track save me so much time and money. I love your videos and only watch your positive content in the beauty genre!
I was pleasantly surprised with the tarte! I have been on a mission to find a blush that looks good in color but also on my skin without emphasizing my texture …. I have bought and returned a good 5 so far in the pass month. THIS IS IT FOR ME! I’m still a novice to using more makeup then the basic foundation and eyeliner so I was kind of intimidated by cream blushes but loved the look of them in others. I felt the others I tried was not forgiving at all so I would have to wash off my foundation and try again. But, this baby, I feel like melded onto my skin well and if I put too much I just tapped more and it thinned out without messing up my foundation but after it sets it does last through my day.
I have Big Ego and Rose in the Tarte blushes and I'm really enjoying them....I don't find them to be sticky at all and they seem to dry down just fine for me. Also loving Kiss of Mauve, even though I don't think it's very "mauvey"
Those Tarte blushes surprised me from the swatch to on your cheeks, even though you put a little too much they are really glowy in a nice way without shimmer.
Elf shade and glow is much better. I actually have a similar shade in a NARS 6 pan powder blush palette that also has a subtle glow. I have not used it much due to the orangish hue, but now I can see how it could be fun in the summer.
I had an Armani liquid blush- very similar shade. My hair was blonde then so this coppery red looked great. I still have it 😂 lol- and it’s still perfect. These were the first liquid blushers - prob no 10? When the blushes were big bottles not than tiny things they come in now😅 I picked up Barbados too😚 Ps: if you feel you’ve over-applied any color, spritz your face with spray and use a clean blush brush and quickly buff- the color will disperse and the look is supremely natural.
The Kiss of Spice Blonzer reminds me of Essence, the Blush in Bespoke. Perhaps you'd have to build that one up a bit to be a match, the Blonzers are so pigmented. Loving all the blush launches - tough to lay off of them! Thanks for all the great content lately! 🥰
I have never been interested in a CT wand until this new shade. I will also be getting the Kiss of Spice blush. I’m so excited to see something other than shades of pink. I may try the Tarte blush, but the shades don’t call to me as much.
Ordered the CT blush a couple of days ago. I am light med with neutral yellow undertone so this blush color is up my alley :) also, this is my very first CT wand purchase. I hit a milestone lol!!!
I was just wondering if the Tarte Maracuja blushers could be used on the lips as well as the cheeks, I mean, the texture looks like they could 😉. Thank you for all the swatches AND for the swatches of the look-alike blushers. I know that looking through a vast number of items, trying to find similar products (colour, texture and finish) is not a 5 minute job. So, mega thanks to you 😊 👏👏👏👏 Much love and blessings 💗✨️💗✨️💗✨️💗
I liked the elf better on you than CT. I prefer the Nabla Adults Only to CT also. The same with Bare Minerals Kiss of Mauve Blonzer, I prefer Nablas Independence since it has more of my preferred satin finish. Thanks for checking out all those colors! From my screen, I prefer Kiko #4 to Tartes Big Ego and I think Hard Candy Born Yesterday looks closer than the Moira to it.
Hmm. This video reinforces my inclination to stick to my favorite powder blush, the L'Oreal True Match Superblendable blush in Baby Blossom. It's a basic cool pink that isn't super shiny. I've tried cream blush, but I just can't seem to learn to apply them as well as I can apply powder blush. Also, the ones I've tried were more shiny than I like.

They looked great on you, didn’t look like too much!
I think you look gorgeous with the blush!!!
I liked how all the blushes looked....I'm always a little heavy handed with my blush I love it!!🧡🧡💗💗♥️♥️
How did you get them off ?
I thought they were very pretty, and you made it very easy for us to see the true colour….so thank you
I honestly think the ELF Barbados shade looks way more flattering and natural. The CT blush looks like an orange streak across the face.
The elf is easier to blend out, IMO!
That was my first thought as well.😀
100% agree!
Me too…CT looks like blush
I thought the same thing!
The Elf one looks more natural. Love that over C.T. any day. Thanks Jen.
I actually like the Elf Color way more than the new CT one! I wish CT would do an ACTUAL cool toned pink one! They're all peachy!
Thank you for using the word alternative rather than the abbreviation “ dupe” when describing similar products. Sounds so much more intelligent and accurate. Also the word is so over used, I think that people are really tired of hearing “ dupe”. Also I heard that the Bobby Brown Pot Rouge are nice blushes. Have you reviewed them yet? Great video though thanks ! Have a great day too!
I do have one Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge and it's beautiful! I can't remember which video I talked about it in, but it's such a nice formula. :)
Definitely like the ELF better than CT it’s to similar for me to condone spending $42 when I can spend $7
Jen coming through with all the BEST content lately 🙌🫶❣️
Yessss!

I love your videos! You’re like a makeup Indiana Jones, finding treasures like you do.
😂😂😂
Perfect analogy!
I do not understand why people are willing to pay CT’s insane prices
I think I just commented something similar such as to each their own.
I tried the Neutrogena Moisture Smooth color stick in the shade - Soft Raspberry. It's a really nice shade, I love it 🥰 The Clinique Chubby stick lipsticks I didn't like the texture of them. Take care everyone
I actually prefer the elf blusher on you,opposed to the Charlotte Tilsbury😊
Me too
They're all so pretty, especially the tarte ones. They're like youthful looking, if that's possible.
I appreciate you so much for being here !
Thank you so much for these great swatches!!
Girl, you came through again! I'm really loving the look of CT Sunset Glow but I already have Nabla Adults Only and love it!
I love your videos Jen ❤ Your reviews are always spot on 😀
I just got the new L.A. Colors Blush Up cheek and lip cream and absolutely love it. It was only like $2.25 at Dollar General and it is so blendable with buildable color.
Awesome reviews Jen!!❤
Thanks for sharing the tarts cream
Blushes!
Another great video Jen
Love your videos so much! Thank you! ♥️♥️
This video is fabulously useful. Very interested in the new bare minerals!
Im always so excited when i see you posted a video 😊
Love your videos! I love how you show us new things but also alternatives! Thank you!❤
Wow love each and every one of those blushes. They are beautiful 😍
I love these videos, it's super helpful when you look through your collection for similar products, I don't need 2 products that give the same look. Thank you for all the hard work you do!
Love the comparison swatch videos, super helpful.
I love all the alternatives you show. The Nablus blushes look amazing.
I got the Tarte rose blush from QVC a few weeks ago! Love it! Great video, Jen👍👍👍
I would've never picked ELF Barbados, but you are right it is gorgeous and perfect for that Summer flush❤
I have really come to appreciate your videos so much, especially because I find your product descriptions to be very thorough and most importantly (to me) accurate!
That pink Tarte blush looks so fresh and beautiful on you! 💗
so happy i found your channel. super informative reviews. LOVE watching your videos!!
I love that pink tart blush it looks so good on your and the persona stick blush is gorgeous!
Thanks for swatching the new Blonzers to the original shades, I was curious about the Kiss of Copper compared to the Kiss of Spice, and see that they are very different, I still might pick it up just to go lighter for bronzer.
Tysm for all your hard work ur swatches, honesty and attention to details is so very appreciated and helpful!
What a great video. I really appreciate the and face swatches. I’m very interested in the Tarte blushes they look so juicy and plumping on your skin 😊 thanks for the wear test notes
Hi Jen, your comparisons are top notch 🙂
I was with you in the doubting boat about those Tarte blushes, but man! So beautiful!
Thanks, Jen!

I love your comparison you do in your videos. I do love Nabla's blushes, bronzers,& highlighters.
Your hair looks sooo good! ❤
Woa, Big Ego looks fantastic on you Jen!!
Loved this video. I love how you have this huge library of blushes and you can automatically search for dupes. I think these new tarte blushes are really pretty but I am on a drugstore budget. Thanks for all the succinct and helpful reviews.😊

Appreciate your swatches and comparisons! I was hoping the Kiss of Mauve would be more cool toned or have a little lilac in it, esp since I think BM discontinued their bounce and blur blush in mauve sunrise 😢
I was hoping for that too but it's surprisingly warm!
Me too!
Me too!
Your hair is looking so good! I swear you have an extra glow and radiance 😌💛

Thank you for the amazing swatches and comparisons as usual Jen! Did you see bareminerals also came out with blush highlighters 😮
UA-cam never notified me that you uploaded a video. I had to go to your channel to check if you uploaded. I absolutely love your content and wouldn't miss it for the world. ❤
Aw thank you for checking! I hate when they do that!
I am so glad you swatched CT’s new blush with ELF Barbados. I have and love Barbados and so glad I tried on the two together!
Hallo Jen, Oh I am very excited to try the new CT blush, but also I think I need to add Nabala into my life. I will be trying the tarte in the future too.
big ego shade looks so perfect on you, i looooove watching you all the time from Canada, thanks for every vidéos! 🌹🇨🇦
Loved this video!
Best review in UA-cam for sure. Thanks for the comparisons im going to get Kis of Mauves for suree😂
You’re truly my fav Beauty You Tibet! Time and Time again ❤
Had my eyes on the new bare minerals blonzer shades but the brown one is wayyyy more brown that I thought by looking at the promo images. Thanks for the swatches!

Me too. I am on an indefinite no buy for blush, lip products, and eyeshadow. I may have enough to last me the rest of my life.
Love how brave you are to try all of these. The texture of the tarte would have thrown me. Some great new colors though. Not sure I am jumping on any of these yet. I love blush. I still need to try the nabla ones. ❤ Jen you are the best. Hands down.🎉

After watching your reviews i bought the 3 shades of tarte maracuja blushes my fave is honeysuckle it’s like a berry natural flush on the cheeks 😍
My girl is herrrre with the blushes!!!! Yaaaas!!!!! 👏🫶🙌💜
this was super helpful! Honestly i'm so glad i didnt impulsively buy the new bareminerals shades. I love a buildable blush and those are too pigmented for me!

Jen your content, sequencing, comparisons and talk track save me so much time and money. I love your videos and only watch your positive content in the beauty genre!
IMHO, 'tis the season for warm coppery blush. I'll save the pinks for winter.
Thx girl! Can always count on u !

The Tarte blush in big ego looks beautiful on your skin tone 😍
The Tarte looks the best imho. They give you a beautiful healthy glow!!
I have Big Ego and Rose in the Tarte blushes and I'm really enjoying them....I don't find them to be sticky at all and they seem to dry down just fine for me. Also loving Kiss of Mauve, even though I don't think it's very "mauvey"
Me too ! I think it’s so easy to use as I get nervous with cremes as I find them unforgiving
I still wanna try the hard candy face off!!
The sunset CT blush reminds me of a blend of Milani vino rosso and coralina because I use that blend and it’s beautiful on the cheeks ❤
yesss Bubble 💗🥰
Love ur channel Jen!!! So glad u give lower cost options, as I don’t have the money to spend on high-end products!
Those Tarte blushes surprised me from the swatch to on your cheeks, even though you put a little too much they are really glowy in a nice way without shimmer.

The color is a bit similar but the BM has so much shine while the essence doesn't so that's why I didn't compare them.
Those Tarte blushes look so pretty on you.💖
I still have to try the BM blonzers! U have raved about them so much idk why i haven't yet! 🤦♀️🤷♀️
I have never been interested in a CT wand until this new shade. I will also be getting the Kiss of Spice blush. I’m so excited to see something other than shades of pink. I may try the Tarte blush, but the shades don’t call to me as much.

Omg I was eyeing the new BareMinerals shades and I already have Nabla Independence! You just saved me 20 something bucks, lol!
Yes! Another user compared the gram weight and the Nabla has a little under twice the amount of product!
i loveeee my nabla blushes, and i’m soooo bummed that the kiss of mauve sold out soooo quickly!!! 😢
Hmm. This video reinforces my inclination to stick to my favorite powder blush, the L'Oreal True Match Superblendable blush in Baby Blossom. It's a basic cool pink that isn't super shiny.
I've tried cream blush, but I just can't seem to learn to apply them as well as I can apply powder blush. Also, the ones I've tried were more shiny than I like.
Elf blush looks much better 😅
I might check out the blonzers. Curious to see them on deeper skin... Copper and spice and possibly mauve.
Great video. Do you think the Tarte blushes are a good substitute for the CT blush in the tube?
Yes I love blushes❤😍
There’s a Plum from Nudestix which is a dark purple but looks great on - kinda like the Huda but more matte. I find those Huda sticks runny-
