Favorite Formulas
Below, you’ll find my favorite formulas from Fenty Beauty and some of the top-rated shades within each formula. It should come as no surprise that the Cheeks Out Cream Blushes released earlier this year top my list–really a category that I’ve been waiting for a brand to fill with something fantastic, and Fenty did it!
I also keep a few of Fenty Beauty’s Killawatt Highlighters (duos or singles) in my drawer of go-tos. Afternoon Snack/Mo’ Hunny and Wattabratt are two I’ll use for something quick ‘n’ easy for review photos, and they’ve been in my vanity drawer since they launched (you can read more about them in my Must-Haves from 2019).
I’ve repurchased the original Fenty Gloss Bomb a few times at this point, and it’s been a favorite for awhile (see Must-Haves That Stayed Favorites from 2018!). I keep one in my bag as well as in my vanity for easy, on-the-go application that’s shiny, comfortable, and has a bit of dimension (but goes with any look).
Fenty Beauty Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Blush
The formula is supposed to give a "fresh wash of color" that is "effortless" to blend with a "natural-looking" finish. The coverage is designed to be "sheer, buildable" with a "sweat- and water-resistant formula." The brand recommends to apply with fingertips or their 125 brush (which is a fairly dense, angled brush). Read more...
Top Rated Shades
Fenty Beauty Sun Stalk'r Instant Warmth Bronzer
The formula is supposed to have "long-wear" that is "transfer-resistant," "easy to blend, and "light-as-air" with buildable coverage that "is hard to overdo." The pigmentation was more medium to semi-opaque with some shades being nearly opaque in a single layer. For truly buildable pigmentation, I would recommend using a light hand initially or a less-dense brush to pick up and to apply the product. Read more...
Top Rated Shades
Fenty Beauty Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter Duo
Top Rated Shades
Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Lip Luminizer
The formula is supposed to have a “peach-vanilla” scent (I’d agree–sweet, lightly fruity) and be “conditioning.” It was designed to be worn alone or layered over other lip products. The consistency was very smooth, light-to-medium in weight, non-sticky, and comfortable to wear. It had a plusher consistency that helped it stay out of most of my lip lines. The shimmer was moderate but noticeable, and it distributed evenly across the lips. They last about three hours on my lips but are hydrating.
Top Rated Shades
Fenty Beauty Mattemoiselle Plush Matte Lipstick
It's supposed to have a "petal-soft matte finish" with "mega rich color" that is long-wearing and will not bleed or feather. They are creamy, smooth, and velvety without being heavy. The majority of shades applied evenly across the lips, never skipped, and didn't get into my lip lines. I do not normally experience feathering/bleeding, and I did not experience either with this range. Read more...
Thank you so much for the heads up on the sale and the code. I ordered Vamps Who Brunch and Cool Berry cream blush.
Yay!! 🙂 Hope you enjoy them both!
I love both of those! :o) Hope you do, too.
Thank you; I’m sure I will. I love my other cream blushes from them, and I’ve wanted Vamps Who Brunch since it launched.
Hi. Thank you so much for the code. I got 30% off my order and they have free shipping! I have been wanting to try the gloss bombs and now I got them at a great price. Thank you once again.
Yay! They just sent me a note that they upped it to 30%! 😀
Aww man, when I purchased earlier today it was still 25% : (
Maybe try emailing for a price adjustment!
I love Vamps who Brunch so much that I bought a back up to keep at work. Haha. It’s so soft and gentle and a gorgeous color. I noticed they have mini-setting powders now, including lavender! I need to get one for travel…for when we get to travel again. I always bring my big one.
Wow! A backup–that is impressive 😀
So bummed! If you’re in Canada, the discount only comes out to be about 15%. 🙁 Ah well, 15% is better than nothing. Unless perhaps it’s simply the items I chose to put in my cart that are causing the issue?
Aw, drats! I know it excludes Fenty Skin – that’s about all I’m aware of!
Thanks so much Christine! I ended up getting Fuego Flush and one of their small primers! I received a sample of their primer before and liked it!
Enjoy, Cat!
Thank you for the code! I’ve been wanting to try the brand for some time. I got one of the cream blushes, a cream bronzer, and the 4 holodaze gloss set!
Awesome haul, Robin! 🙂
Went through your link and bought the one and only thing I really need; Profilt’r Hydrating Longwear Foundation in 260. Mine from last year is all but gone, and oddly, so is my summer color on my face. Not the rest of me yet, though. But it’s just a matter of time. She had the 25% plus EXTRA10, so 35% off!
Thank you, Nancy!
