I recently found the new Covergirl Tru Blend Blushes ($7.99) at my local Bed, Bath & Beyond. These are brand new for Spring 2016 and join several other new products that are really quite exciting! Let's take a look...
These look like they're baked blushes...they have that dome shape that most baked formulas have, but it doesn't say anywhere on the packaging that they're baked so I'm not 100% positive on that. They have a marbled appearance with at least two different shades running through each one. They actually remind me a little of the Hourglass Ambient blushes....I'll have to compare the shades to those at some point because Cover Girl seems to be duping higher-end products with the TruNaked palettes (Urban Decay dupes) and the Oh Sugar Lip Balms (Fresh dupes).
TruBlend comes in three different shades of blush and one shade of bronzer (which I'll review in a separate post).They cost $7.99 at Bed, Bath & Beyond which is usually priced a little lower than drugstores, so these might very well be somewhere between $8-9 at CVS, Rite Aid, or Walgreens. I was able to use a bunch of 20% off and $5 off coupons to save some money on these, so that's one great reason to get them at Bed, Bath & Beyond if your local store has a beauty section!
All of the shades have a soft sheen to them...they're not overly shimmery but just add a hint of shimmer to your cheeks.
Light Rose is a light peachy pink.

Medium Rose is a dusty rose pink.

Deep Mauve is a dark plummy mauve shade.
Just like with the TruNaked eyeshadow palettes, I'm super impressed with the pigmentation of these blushes! They're soft and buttery and go on beautifully! Deep Mauve is way too dark for my pale skin tone, but I can definitely wear the other two...they're just beautiful.
Covergirl has really stepped up their game and I'm so excited to try even more products from the new Spring 2016 collection! If you spot this collection near you, I highly recommend picking up some of these blushes to try (and the TruNaked palettes too!). I'll be reviewing the Oh Sugar! lip balms next and I also picked up the new primer (for dry skin) and the Plumpify mascara, so stay tuned. :)
