Coloured Raine My Day One Highlighter and Blush Duo Review & Swatches
My Day One
Coloured Raine My Day One Highlighter and Blush Duo ($25.00 for 0.32 oz.) is a new, limited edition duo featuring a bright, coppery highlighter and a slightly muted, cooler-toned blush. The two shades definitely played well off of each other. Both shades had rich pigmentation and were fairly blendable, easy to use, and lasted for at least eight hours on me, though the blush took some extra time to blend out (workable but not effortless).

My Day One (Highlighter)
My Day One (Highlighter) is a brighter, light-medium copper with stronger, warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. It was richly pigmented with a smooth, dense, and more cream-to-powder (in feel) texture. It took a denser brush and a moderate hand to pick up product well, and it seemed to get a bit more yielding after a few uses, almost like the top layer had to be worn away. The powder applied evenly to bare skin and blended out best with small, circular motions. This shade stayed on well for eight and a half hours before I noticed signs of fading.

My Day One (Blush)
My Day One (Blush) is a medium-dark, reddish-plum with subtle, cool undertones and a matte finish. The consistency felt velvety, smooth, and wasn’t at all powdery–almost a bit firm but not stiff in the pan–so it applied evenly and blended out fairly readily. It was a deeper, richer shade, so it tended to pull pink when diffused along the edges, and it did take some extra patience to really soften the edges entirely. It wore well for nine hours before showing signs of fading on me.

This is gorgeous! And I have been on such a blush kick lately! Trying to talk myself out of this one…
While I’m crazy about the highlighter, I do have 2 dupes, the blush just isn’t for me. However, looking through its dupes, I was reminded of how much I have always wanted Clinique Black Honey Pop!
I have Black Honey Pop and it is stunning, Nancy. I don’t think you would regret picking it up. Saw your IG post on New Jersey. I have never been there but sounds wonderful. I will try to get that way next year.
Black Honey Pop has been on my list since it first came out. I’ll probably never drop it from my list, but if I’ve been fine without it thus far, I’ll likely never get it.
A tad too bright for me, but it looks good.
The highlighter is too dark and I have so many dupes for the blush. I did pick up a few more blushes in my haul this week so not tempted by this one.
