Hi hi hi everyone, today I am back with another product from Lancôme called the Blush Subtil Palette ($46 CAD) and let me tell you, this is a good one! The Blush Subtil Platte is an all-in-one cheek palette that features a bronzer, a blush, and a highlighter. The shade I have is called "Plum Elegance" and it is an uber gorgeous trio that is perfect for the warm weather ahead, to see my review and some swatches, click......
-A three-in-one cheek palette that features a contour, blush, and highlight
-Silky and creamy powder formula ensure smooth application that won't settle into pores or fine lines
-Buildable color that last up to eight hours
Packaging:
The palette features a sleek and shiny black case with a very cool snap back opening/closing mechanism. There is also a lovely gold embossing of Lancôme's classic rose logo on the lid.
Formulation:
All three components of the palette have a super smooth and buttery texture. When I swatched them with my finger, they almost felt like cream products!
Contour- The contour color in the palette is a warm bronze with no shimmer. It is matte but the finish it has leans a little satin-y. It is very pigmented so I had to make sure not to overapply. This color can also be easily used as a blush.
Blush- The blush is a plummy rose and it has arguably the most beautiful pigmentation and formula I have ever used. It literally feels like silk on the skin! The color has some subtle golden shimmer in it and the finish is also satin-y.
Highlight- The highlight color is a warm sandy taupe with some bigger shimmer particles. Despite the shimmer, the pigmentation is great and it still applies very smoothly. I do have to note that the highlight color is rather subtle in that it is very close to the color of the blush given that they both have a golden shimmer. So it gives more of a subtle glow rather than a dramatic "lifting" effect.

The blush lasted pretty well on me. It stayed on for around five hours, give or take. I find blush wear varies a lot from person to person so it's hard to give a definitive review of the longevity. But this palette did well compared to other blushes I own.
Pros:
-Creamy and silky texture
-Superb pigmentation
-Good wearing time
-Flattering color
Cons:
-I wish the highlight color was lighter so it stood out more
Overall:
I am absolutely in love with this blush. From my experience with this product, the Color Design Infinite shadow I reviewed last week, and a lipstick (review to come) from Lancôme, I am beginning to think that I have been seriously missing out these years by depriving myself of Lancôme products! With the upcoming Sephora VIB sale, I most definitely will be checking out more of their stuff!
Availability:
The Lancôme Blush Subtil Palette (it comes in three more color combos) is available at Sephora and other department stores.
