"We're all so thrilled to be chosen that we don't even mind sharing the spotlight! Some dismissed us at first glance as too hot to handle, so we thank you for recognizing that our translucent formulas render us pretty and playful but not overpowering. The polish suspends the teeniest gold flecks in a sheer fuchsia base; and though this gloss smells deliciously of cotton candy, there's nothing circus-like about its soft petal-pink shine. Simply drag a brush along the length of the blush to pick up both punchy persimmon and sheer rose; blended on the apples of your cheeks, the combination is blooming beautiful."
