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.

@makeitup305  thank you so much! This was my first time trying this GR blush, I really like it so far!

[makeitup305]

@caitbird I need to use mine more but I've enjoyed the look. I was really sceptical.

[Titian06]

These colors look lovely on you, @caitbird ! 💖🍓😍  Love the green eyeshadow too. 💚

[caitbird]

@Titian06  thank you so much! 😊

[CynthieLu]

This style of blush from color to how it's applied suit you sooooo well @caitbird 😍🩷 slay!!

[caitbird]

@CynthieLu  thank you so much! 💜

[blackkitty2014]

@caitbird  Your application is simply divine 👏🌹❤️

[danielledanielle]

Agreed. @blackkitty2014 , @caitbird IMO it's better than the Pinterest pic, yours looks like an actual flush

[caitbird]

@danielledanielle  thank you so much! 😊

[caitbird]

@blackkitty2014  thank you so much! 😊

I had no idea what Blush Crush was!  I thought it was wearing blush boldly or using a bold/vibrant color.  I saw the Haus Labs blush in the collage, @danielledanielle , posted, so I decided to wear Haus Labs Pomelo Peach boldly.

That color looks so good @Titian06 . I'm always on the hunt for a blush in that shade - I might have to try that!

[Titian06]

It would look great on you, @PDXXXX ! 🤩

[Mellmars1185]

@Titian06 Perfect shade for blush crush! Haus Labs has a great blush formula, IMO.

[Titian06]

@Mellmars1185 - Have you tried the new formula without talc?  Is it as good as the previous version?

[Mellmars1185]

@Titian06 I have not tried the new formula. I wonder the same thing 🤔

[makeitup305]

@Titian06 it's such a pretty shade. I bet you looked wonderful 😘

[Titian06]

Thanks, @makeitup305 ! 🧡🧡🧡

[caitbird]

@Titian06  beautiful blush color! I bet it looked amazing on you!

I don't think I've tried the Haus Labs blush yet, I'll have to add it to my list to try one of these days (not that I need any more blushes of course 😅)!

[CynthieLu]

Now that's a pretty one @Titian06 😻🍑 how do you like it?

[Titian06]

Thanks, @CynthieLu !  I love the color.  It applies so easily and lasts all day.  The color applies lightly, but buildable to the intensity you see in the compact.
