Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush Sticks in Coquette and Garçonne Review & Swatches

Purchased (Affiliate Links)

Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush Sticks in Coquette and Garçonne are two new limited edition shades, and let me just say that I really hope that they are made permanent. Both shades offer impressive opaque color payoff, and the wonderful formula is actually hydrating. Both shades glide across the skin effortlessly, deposit color evenly and they do not emphasize, or settle into, pores or expression lines. This is a true multipurpose formula that can be used on the cheeks, lips and eyelids. Both Coquette and Garçonne are exceptionally flattering on the lips and the cheeks, and I actually like to blend the two shades together. In fact, one can mix any of the Baby Cheeks Blush Sticks to customize your shades.

Coquette, which is described as a Bright Pinky Peach, is a very nice peachy pink shade that is incredibly flattering on my cool-toned light olive complexion. I was concerned that it would be too warm for my skin tone, but it is a good balance between the warmer peachy and the cooler pink shades. Garçonne, which is described as a Just Pinched Mauve, is a bit of a chameleon. In the tube it is a rather brownish mauve, but does it ever come to life on the cheeks and lips. It is a triumphant shade in its beauty, and I really love to wear it, and to blend with Coquette. 

According to Westman Atelier,

The creamy, multi-purpose formula for cheeks and lips is infused with hydrating ingredients for seamless blendability for that flushed-from-within pop of color. Biomimicry pigment technology boosts pigment payoff and makes layering over liquid or powder formulas effortless. Mix and match these ultra flattering shades to your mood.

No Parabens, No PEGS, No Phthalates, No Synthetic Fragrances. No Animal Testing.

Coquette is described as a Bright Pinky Peach and Garçonne is described as a Just Pinched Mauve.

Directions and Gucci's Notes: Blush is like an accessory, match it to your mood and the statement you want to make that day. It's all about how much color you want to see. Dab Baby Cheeks onto fingers and begin by applying to the middle of your cheekbone. Work around in an oval circumference, blending outward as you go. Pop onto lips for a monochromatic look and juicy pop of color.

Westman Atelier Les Étoiles Lip, Blush & Highlighter Edition Set Review

Purchased (Affiliate Links)

Westman Atelier Les Étoiles Lip, Blush & Highlighter Edition Set is something that I simply could not resist purchasing. I have been a big fan of Westman Atelier makeup and brushes since the brand launched, but I have also been eagerly awaiting a powder blush from them, and this set features their first powder blush in Petal. Additionally, my daily lip gloss is Westman Atelier Squeaky Clean Liquid Lip Balm in Chou Chou (A gorgeous pale pink. Reviewed HERE), and my daily lipstick is the Westman Atelier Lip Suede in Les Nudes (Reviewed HERE). I also have collected all of Westman Atelier Makeup Brushes and use them every single day (All 9 brush reviews linked in this review HERE and the travel brushes HERE). 

I had been coveting this limited edition set when it launched for the holidays in 2023, but I didn't purchase it when it launched (regular price $160.00), but instead I purchased it the moment it went on sale (now selling for $96.00).

This curated trio of essentials includes (limited edition):

• NEW Baby Cheeks in Petal in its first-ever powder blush format - full size; 8g/0.28oz.
• NEW Squeaky Clean Liquid Lip Balm in Nectar - full size, 6.5ml/0.21oz.
• NEW Lit Up Highlight Stick in Biscuit - full size; 5g/0.17oz.

According to Westman Atelier,

Our best-selling shades re-imagined into limited edition beauty staples that bring a dewy freshness to skin & lips. The stars of the show, re-imagined. A rosy pop of color and glassy sheen breathe new life into skin and lips. Made with clean, high-performance and good-for-you ingredients, for a playfully fresh look that is always effortless & never overdone.

• NEW Baby Cheeks in Petal in its first-ever powder blush format - full size; 8g/0.28oz.
• NEW Squeaky Clean Liquid Lip Balm in Nectar - full size, 6.5ml/0.21oz.
• NEW Lit Up Highlight Stick in Biscuit - full size; 5g/0.17oz.

Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks in Petal (8g/0.28oz.): is their first-ever powder blush in their most popular cream blush color (incidentally named after Gucci Westman's daughter, Petal). Petal is a matte dusty rose shade without any shimmer whatsoever. It was created to emulate a natural cheek color, or flush, and is beautiful on the skin. The formula is buildable, but a little goes a very long way, and therefore start with a small amount and build to achieve the level of color saturation that you desire. The texture is an ultra soft and refined powder that is silky smooth against the skin. It is such a wonderful formula, and I sincerely hope that it not only becomes a permanent part of the line, but that they add more colors.

Ingredients: Mica Squalane Zinc Stearate Perlite Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride Potassium Sorbate Aluminum Hydroxide Chlorphenesin Punica Granatum Pericarp Extract Kaolin Rosa Hybrid Flower Extract Titanium Dioxide Ci 77891 Iron Oxides Ci 77491 Iron Oxides Ci 77492 Iron Oxides Ci 77499 Ultramarines Ci 77007 Bismuth Oxychloride Ci 77163 Red 7 Lake Ci 15850.

Westman Atelier Squeaky Clean Liquid Lip Balm in Nectar (0.21 oz.): is a lightly tinted clean lip treatment nourishes and hydrates the lips like a lip balm, but with the shine and sparkle of a lip gloss. This formula is non-sticky, has the perfect amount of that cushion for comfortable wear, and it is weightless on the lips. Nectar, which is described as a sparkling golden peach, with a touch of pink, offers a very light veil of color. It is quite sheer, but with dimension.

Ingredients: Diisostearoyl Polyglyceryl-3 Dimer Dilinoleate, Ricinus Communis Seed Oil / Ricinus Communis Seed Oil, Octyldodecanol, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil / Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, Calcium Sodium Borosilicate, Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil / Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil, Mica, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Tocopherol, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter / Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil / Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil, Tin Oxide, Parfum / Fragrance, Limonene May Contain (+/-) : Ci 77891 / Titanium Dioxide, Ci 77491 / Ir.

Westman Atelier Lit Up Highlight Stick in Biscuit (0.17 oz.): is a translucent gel highlighter, in a stunning tawny-beige shade, that highlights the skin with radiance and clarity. It can be used on the cheeks, lips and eyelids, and it is very flattering.

Ingredients: Diisostearyl Malate Octyldodecanol Tridecyl Trimellitate Pol Ybutene Pol Yethylene Mica Microcrystalline Wax (Cera Microcristallina) Hydrogenated Microcrystalline Wax Synthetic Wax Synthetic Fluorphlogopite Silica Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate Dicalcium Phosphate Tin Oxide Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Fruit Extract [Vitis Vinifera Fruit Extract] Alumina Titanium Dioxide Ci 77891 Iron Oxides Ci 77491 Iron Oxides Ci 77492 Iron Oxides Ci 77499 Carmine Ci 75470.

I highly recommend this set if the color story is of interest to you. This is an ultra-luxe cruelty-free clean beauty brand that is definitely worthy of your consideration! A+

Westman Atelier The Getaway Edition Set (Nordstrom Exclusive) Review

Purchased (Affiliate Links)

Westman Atelier The Getaway Edition Set (Nordstrom Exclusive. $208 Value for $165.00) is a stunning set that I repeatedly looked at online until I finally caved and bought it, and I am so happy that I did. I knew that I wanted to buy another Westman Atelier Lip Suede Les Nudes because I wear mine all of the time, and absolutely love this gorgeous palette, and I had been wanting to try the Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush Stick in Petal, and I was curious to try the Westman Atelier Super Loaded Tinted Highlight in Peau de Santé. Therefore, since there was a significant discount on this set, $43.00 to be exact, I finally splurged.

A Nordstrom-exclusive set of clean, multitasking highlight products that will give your skin and lips radiant color and glow.

Set includes:

Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush Stick in Petal ($48.00 value. Full size. 0.21 oz.): a clean, multipurpose blush stick for your cheeks and lips.

Westman Atelier Super Loaded Tinted Highlight in Peau de Santé ($75.00 value. Full size. 0.14 oz.): a beautiful, clean highlighting cream for cheeks and eyes that delivers luminous warmth in flattering shades.

Westman Atelier Lip Suede Les Nudes ($85.00 value. Full size 0.16 oz.): the most wearable lipstick you'll ever meet. It's a customizable lip color that's soft and features a sheer finish.

Features: Natural Beauty & Wellness products are free of sulfates, phthalates, parabens, petrochemicals, mineral oil, silicone and talc. Cruelty-free. Made in Italy.

The packaging is weighty, elegant and ultra-luxe. The products themselves are of the highest quality and they are cruelty-free.

Westman Atelier Super Loaded Tinted Highlight in Peau de Santé is described as a "Warm Peachy Rose" that can be sed on the cheeks, face and eyes. It offers a stunning ethereal glow, not glitter, and it can be worn day or night. The creamy texture spreads across the skin with ease and deposits color evenly. Everything about this highlighter is stunning!

According to Westman Atelier,

A beautiful, clean highlighting cream for cheeks and eyes that delivers luminous warmth in flattering shades.

This soothing, multipurpose highlighter is loaded with skin-nourishing ingredients and treatment benefits for a beautiful boost of glowing color.

Directions: For your cheeks, apply with a blender brush or the flat side of your fingers for smooth, refined application. For your eyes, use the edge of a blender brush or your finger to swipe luminous color across your eyelids.

Ingredients: Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Mica, Octyldodecanol, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil [Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil], Silica, Beeswax [Cera Alba], Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Wax [Helianthus Annuus Seed Wax], Synthetic Fluorphlogopite, Flavor (Aroma), Octyldodecyl Myristate, Capparis Spinosa Fruit Extract, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Dimethylmethoxy Chromanol, Tin Oxide, Trihydroxystearin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491), Carmine (CI 75470).

Westman Atelier Lip Suede Les Nudes is a gorgeous sheerer-leaning lip palette that is perfect for people who love customizable nude shades the provide a truly beautiful wash of color. This is a very nourishing lip palette filled with good-for-you skincare ingredients that moisturize and condition the lips. The pigments are 100% natural and range in shades from more pigmented shades such as warm rose and mulled wine to the lighter shades peony and café crème. You can easily mix the shades to customize your perfect nude shade, but the entire palette is intentionally more sheer. You can apply these shades with a brush or with your finger for sheer to light pigmentation with a beautiful sheen. As is the case with sheer to light coverage lipsticks of this sort, they lack the longevity of richly pigmented formulas that stain the lips, but I do not find the wear time lacking. This palette is very comfortable to wear and it boasts the perfect amount of cushion. In short, it feels and looks amazing on the lips, and it offers a couple of hours of wear-time on me. This cruelty-free palette is also vegan.

This palette is of you if you are a fan of cruelty-free eco-luxe cosmetics that are filled with healthy ingredients. The texture is luxurious, and the shades are lovely, but they offer a sheer to light wash of color. Therefore, if you are seeking lipsticks with intense pigmentation and color payoff, then this palette is not for you. I love nudes and sheer to light washes of color, and that is precisely why I purchased this palette, and I am very happy with it. Westman Atelier does offer a richly pigmented palette called Les Rouges (fuschia, deep brick red, tomato red, and warm dusty rose) that may appeal to you instead. 

Les Nudes Swatches Left to Right: Mulled Wine, Café Crème, Peony and Warm Rose.

Ingredients: Ricinus Communis Seed Oil/Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Prunus Avium Seed Oil/Prunus Avium (Sweet Cherry) Seed Oil, Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil, Hydrogenated Coco-Glycerides, Candelilla Cera/Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax, Copernicia Cerifera Cera/Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, Helianthus Annuus Seed Cera/Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Wax, Lauroyl Lysine, Trihydroxystearin, Mica, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Citrus Nobilis Peel Oil*/Citrus Nobilis (Mandarin Orange) Peel Oil, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Tribehenin, Sorbitan Isostearate, Lactic Acid, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Limonene.

Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush Stick in Petal is described as a "Dusty Nude Rose" multipurpose blush stick that can be used on your cheeks and lips. This creamy dreamy blush has a wonderful emollient consistency that deposits the perfect amount of buildable color on the cheeks and lips. The quality is superb, and the color is incredibly flattering.

According to Westman Atelier,

RMS Beauty Pressed Blush in Lost Angel, Crushed Rose & Mooncry Swatches

Affiliate Links

A longtime reader told me that she was seeking a cruelty-free blush that looks a lot like NARS Orgasm, which is a shade that she loves, but that she will no longer purchase since NARS isn't cruelty-free anymore. I told her that RMS Lost Angel is a lovely blush that embodies the spirit of NARS Orgasm, but that it is eco-luxe and cruelty-free. The RMS powder blushes have a lovely finely filled texture, they glide across the skin effortlessly, deposit color evenly, and they neither emphasize pores nor fine lines. 

RMS makes three shades: 

Lost Angel: coral pink with lush golden undertones

Crushed Rose: vibrant, modern pink

Mooncry: rich plum wine with a hint of golden sheen

According to RMS,

A concentrated, creamy, pressed-powder blush that builds easily for a dramatic flush. Mooncry is an unbeatable, rich plum-wine with a hint of golden sheen. Lost Angel is a seductive coral-pink with lush golden undertones. Crushed Rose is a vibrant, modern pink. This hydrating, non-irritating, formula helps diminish visible signs of aging, and helps support natural skin balance for optimal skin health and luminosity.

 This product is vegan, cruelty-free, and gluten-free, and comes in recyclable packaging.

RMS Los Angel has been compared to NARS Orgasm, and therefore I thought that I would swatch them side-by-side. They are both in the same color family, but the shimmer is a bit more pronounced in NARS Orgasm, whereas RMS Los Angel is a bit more subtle and luminous rather than more sparkly.

Highlighted Ingredients: 

- Buriti Oil: Delivers beta-carotene, antioxidants, fatty acids, and vitamin A; helps to diminish fine lines and wrinkles; Helps protect against free radicals; and moisturizes the skin.

- Rosemary Leaf Extract: Provides natural antibacterial and antimicrobial benefits, potent antioxidant benefits, and protection against free radicals, and helps regulate oil balance.

- Vegetable Squalane: Balances oil production, provides moisture, and calms redness.

Ingredients:
