ColourPop Kiss n' Tell Blush Review & Swatches
Kiss n' Tell
ColourPop Kiss n’ Tell Pressed Powder Blush ($8.00 for 0.13 oz.) is a light peach with moderate, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-sheer to medium, buildable pigmentation, which was as marketed, that applied evenly to bare skin and blended out as I applied it.
The consistency was smooth and silky to the touch; it was incredibly finely-milled in the pan without being too powdery. It lasted well for seven and a half hours on me.

Formula Overview
$10.00/0.28 oz. - $35.71 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to go on "smoothly" and have a "natural and healthy flush" that has "long wear" and "can be layered to your desired intensity." It is a lightly to moderately powdery powder blush with semi-sheer to semi-opaque, buildable color payoff. The consistency has a drier, thinner feel and though it feels silky to the touch, I found it the type of powder blush can be tricky to blend out evenly on the skin, depending on one's skin type or base preferences. The drier the skin/base, the better the formula would blend, but any natural oils or slip caused the blush to go on unevenly and was difficult to blend out. The wear was between seven and eight hours on me on average.

Beautiful on you, but I believe it to be too light for me to get anything from it. It’s always nice to see options for every and all skin depths and tones, though! And this CP blush collection certainly does exactly that.
Even though the shade colour wouldn’t suit me – too peachy orange, the finish is gorgeous. CP does blushes really, really well.
According to CP, Kiss N’ Tell is the only one of these blushes that was a re-issue from last year’s Valentine’s Day releases. I don’t recall if you reviewed them last year but if you did, I’m wondering how they compare; they certainly appear to be the same as far as color. I have the one from last year so I didn’t purchase the “new” version — although I did purchase all the other ones! 🙂
Yes, they are comparable in quality! 🙂
Thanks, Christine! Much appreciated.
