Origins Pinch Your Cheeks

Pros: Only Takes A Small Amount, One Color Suits All
Cons: VERY Difficult To Apply, Stains Easily

I have read and heard so many wonderful things about Origins products, so when I found a great deal on a couple of items, including Origins Pinch Your Cheeks, I couldn't resist snatching them up! I literally couldn't wait for the mail to...

Pros: beautiful berry color; great staying power; concentrated; fairly inexpensive
Cons: dries quickly; stains fingers; tube oozes product; not for lips

I’ve never tried any Origins products before. I don’t really have easy access to the Origins brand, since I live in a rural area, and the department stores near me only carry 3 or 4 of the most “mainstream” cosmetic brands. And I’ve ...

Pros: Natural rosy glow, small tube, easy to blend.
Cons: Stains finger, expensive, tube may leak.

Haven’t you always worn powder blush? Me too. I mean, yeah, I’d heard of cream blushes and gel blushes blah blah blah, but I’m the kind to stick to one thing if it works for me. My sixteen-year old sister, on the other hand, is a make-up diva, and is...

Pros: Lightweight texture, good for natural beauties with flawless skin.
Cons: Very difficult to apply evenly, stains, not for the beginner!

I stumbled across this product in my local Origins section of Dillards about a year ago. I had been looking in the mall for Benefit Benetint, a rose colored liquid stain that can be used on lips or cheeks. I didn't find a store selling Benefit, but I did...

Pros: Long-lasting, does not streak, easy to apply, beautiful sheer tint of color
Cons: Stains fingers, the tube/container which squeezes out too much product

THE SHOPPING EXPERIENCE

So, I was in the Origins store, just browsing. I was just about done in the makeup section, but a glass jar full of tiny boxes caught my eye. Now, I’m telling you…they were VERY SMALL boxes, smaller than a normal...

Pros: Wonderful, natural color
Cons: Can be difficult to apply well until you've gotten the hang of it.

Most women wearing blush try to find that perfect shade...the one that matches their cheeks when they have come in from exercise, come in from a windy day, or that blush they get when they pinch their cheeks (and who hasn't done that for a quick bit of...

Pros: One tube lasts forever...reasonably priced!
Cons: Stains finger used to apply it.

First I tried the gel blushes from the supermarket. Strike one. Then I tried Benefit's Benetint. Strike two. Finally I tried Pinch Your Cheeks. Homerun!

Natural Color.
Let's face it ladies...most of...

Pros: Natural blush Great price Easy to use
Cons: Not very travel friendly Stains your fingers Not easy to correct a mistake

Origins Pinch Your Cheeks it's perfect for that lovely natural blush that you used to get as a little girl. In fact, pinch your cheeks and look in the mirror...that's the color that you will get from this stain. For me it's the one and only makeup I will...

Pros: Lasts all day, easy to apply, gives your cheeks a sexy and rosy flush
Cons: stains fingers

I bought Origins Pinch Your Cheeks a few years after I stopped wearing powder blush, most of which caused my skin to break out. If you are prone to break-outs like I am, I highly recommend this product.

It only comes in one color, but it is a...

Pros: Sheer rosy glow, One shade fits all, Beautiful on pale skin.
Cons: Product leaks when uncapped, Stains fingers.

Overall-
"Pinch Your Cheeks" has been a blessing for pale women such as myself. P.Y.C. has been a staple in my makeup bag for years and since the color is so sheer and light, I also use it as a lip stain. I would not recommend P.Y.C. to those women...

Pros: Gives your cheeks a nice, natural flush.
Cons: Not good for beginners, difficult to control, stains fingers, not "all-over" color.

The color was the perfect natural "blush" for my skin tone, but the gel formula was a little difficult to control upon first application. I was prone to either adding too much or putting on too little and if you didn't wash your fingers immediately...

Pros: very portable, natural color
Cons: need to apply product quickly, stain is very potent (watch the clothing and fingers)

I've used Benetint for a while and wanted to find a product where I could use it solely for my cheeks and one solely for my lips. I came across this product while flipping through a magazine and then did some more research online. From everything that I ...

Pros: Sheer
Cons: difficult to apply, didn't show up well on my darker skin

I confess to having an addiction to Origins products. They smell yummy and I love playing with the wheel of makeup at their store. Practically every fashion magazine out there had recommended trying pinch your cheeks for a natural look, so I decided to...

Pros: Great natural blush
Cons: Must use much more for darker skin; must wash off if you make a mistake.

I purchased Origins "Pinch Your Cheeks," because I wanted to try a color "stain." This is a gel that you rub into the skin. It can be applied with a cosmetic sponge, or with the fingertips.
I've tried both powder blush, and...

Pros: When applied right, cheeks are naturally rosy
Cons: Messy liquid stains the fingers!

I once read a beauty profile in a magazine about a celebrity that uses Origins Pinch Your Cheeks. Since I discovered that I also use many of the same products she does, I thought I'd try it, and I so made my way to the Origins store in the mall.
