review: soft pinch cheek and lip trio (rare beauty)

The winter season is starting to wind down. In fact, there are only a few more weeks until spring officially arrives. With warmer weather on the horizon, it seems like an appropriate time to review the Soft Pinch Cheek and Lip Trio from Rare Beauty. This was actually a Christmas gift from a loved one, but I am only now taking the time to write about it here on the creation of beauty is art. There are three different products inside (all in the shade Worth) and the colour is an ideal choice for the upcoming spring season. Keep reading for a full review of each Rare Beauty product included in the Soft Pinch set.

The Soft Pinch Cheek and Lip Trio from Rare Beauty comes with three different products: Soft Pinch Matte Bouncy Blush, Soft Pinch Liquid Blush, and Soft Pinch Tinted Lip Oil. All three items come in the same shade, Worth, which is described by the brand as a "true rose" colour. (To me, it looks more like a warm peach than true rose, but the colour is beautiful nonetheless.) It is nice to test out different products and formulas in the same colour. Though I have some familiarity with the liquid blush formula from the line, it has been interesting to test out another blush formula from the brand as well.

The Soft Pinch Liquid Blush in the shade Worth is a winner. I absolutely love the liquid blush products from Rare Beauty, because they are boldly pigmented and blend well. A little goes a long way! It is preferable to have mini size versions of the blush (like the one included in this set) because it really only requires a small amount of product for a beautiful blush look. I love the formula and the finish. As for the Soft Pinch Matte Bouncy Blush, this also comes in the shade Worth, but has a matte finish. This is described as "a bouncy, buildable putty that blends like cream, blurs like powder." This is richly pigmented and applies smoothy on the skin. I love the finish and the fact that this blush colour pairs well with a lot of different makeup looks. Last in the Soft Pinch Cheek and Lip Trio is the Tinted Lip Oil. This is another mini size version and it also comes in the shade Worth. It is described as a gel to oil formula that starts off with a glossy finish and then leaves a tint on the lips. The lip oil isn't sticky, it isn't uncomfortable, and I like the colour a lot. However, this is not a product that I am likely to purchase a full size version of in the future. I like it, but I don't absolutely love it. All that said, it was nice to be able to test out different products.
