Spring Cheek Challenge
Style Awakening  💇🏽‍♀️✨⏰

Spoiler

Welcome to the Spring Cheek Challenge!!!  I'm looking for that seasonal refresh.  For the first SPRING Cheek challenge, (I know right.. How is this the first...I couldn't get past IYKYK, "Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking."), I want you to look towards personal moments and icons (person, celebrity, objects) for inspiration.    Look to the Gawds, dahhhhhlings.   And zhuzh it up with an outfit, or hair accessory or anything you think that's relevant.  I've declared this the "year of using my pretty things, " and I'm inviting you to join me!


The INSPO behind the INSPO:
This was fueled by caitbird's brilliant inspo board for Belle, pdxxxx's elite breakdown's of icons, the creative choices of Cissy63 during the Winter Wonderland cheek challenges... And again, Zendaya.

BUT, WHEN YOU NEED A PUSH/INSPO, AS ALWAYS.....I GOT YOUUUUUUU

Here are the weekly themes:

Blush Crush (Apr 8-13)
Meet me in Miami (Apr 14-Apr 20)
Sakura Slay (Apr 21-Apr 27)
Candy Coated Coquette, Pastel Version (Apr 28-May 4)
Candy Coated Coquette, Mocha Mousse Version (May 5-May 11)
Sunday Best (May 12-May 19)

I made a bunch of mood boards; feel free to use them or remix/remake them into your own.

Yaaay for playing with newness @Cissy63! Love the variety of shades, and that you also went with a shade you don't normally wear - they're all so pretty on you. Do you have a favorite among these three?

[Cissy63]

@itsfi  Thank you very much.  Actually I’m favoring the MAC Mocha blush.  Which I am surprised by.  This gave me a different look and I find that I like it 😃

[itsfi]

That's awesome @Cissy63; getting different looks than what we are accustomed to can be so fun.

@itsfi I'd completely forgotten about this formula. One of the OG cream blushes. It looks great on you!

[itsfi]

@makeitup305, gotta rep the OG now and again! Its true - beauty trends come back around, don’t they?! 

[makeitup305]

@itsfi it's currently all creams all the time.

[lmaster]

Such a beautiful compact and Blush shade @itsfi 

[itsfi]

@lmaster, agree; thank you. 

[danielledanielle]

Sooooo good @itsfi , Stila 🥲

[itsfi]

I know, right @danielledanielle! Stila back in the day! Miss past Stila. 

[PrettyPaint]

@itsfi That's beautiful color on your, and oh my goodness! I am feeling nostalgic thinking about Stila! 

[itsfi]

Right @PrettyPaint? Stila is a blast from the past. 😊 I recently picked up some new blush but want to keep some of the oldies but goodies top of mind as well.
