Hi! Natasha Denona mini blush and glow cheek duo, is my first makeup item I purchased by the brand. This is such a pricey brand, I never plan to purchase anything in full size. I like that she is coming out with smaller, mini versions that all can try, because everyone loves her products. I picked this cute little palette from Sephora while I was waiting to do my payment. Now adays, I keep looking for mini versions of makeup. Because this is the best way to try something new. And we can always get the full size if we really like the product. Besides for me these minis last a very long time.
Product details – A mini compact that’s perfect for giving cheeks the ultimate pop of color and glow on-the-go.
This Mini Blush and Glow compact includes the iconic Natasha Denona All Over glowin shade 1, as well as golden coral blush shade, which is suitable for every skin tone.
The packaging of the Natasha Denona mini blush and glow palette is super pretty. I love the rosy golden packaging with the name printed on the mini palette. The compact is very glossy and shiny, with the magnetic closure. I am all about the golden and shiny packaging and that click. What about you? There is also a nice, good quality mirror inside the compact. However, there is no brush included. The interior of the compact is all shiny silver base holding two pans of highlighter and blush. I’d say, even though the compact is so small, the whole packaging is very glamorous.
The Natasha Denona mini blush and glow palette features, the all over glow face and body shimmer and #14 blush duo. I found it a little complicated to understand because there is another mini compact that holds two highlighters and is called mini diamond and glow cheek duo. And both the compacts are so similar in look hehe. 🙂
All over glow face and body shimmer – This is a soft champagne shade with some warm golden sheen and ultra fine shimmers. The pigmentation of this highlighter is very subtle. However, the texture of this highlighter is very soft and smooth. Almost creamy. It gives the skin that wet dewy look. In spite of the fine shimmers, it does not have that super metallic look, like the Becca Champagne pop or the Becca Prosecco pop. In the swatches you can see how subtle and natural it looks. But it lasts a long time even on my oily skin. 🙂
#14 Blush Duo – The blush in the Natasha Denona mini blush and glow compact is a high shine, warm coral-y pink blush with some fine golden shimmer. Because of the golden shimmer, it gives that slight soft glowing sheen when light hits. Again the texture of this blush is very creamy and soft. However, the pigmentation is very sheer. We can build the color, but it does not show up much on my medium complexion. Even though the blush is subtle, it gives a luminous glow to the cheeks. The blush applies and blends beautifully, but lacks pigmentation. Like the highlighter, the blush is also more of a natural looking blush. It gives that healthy glowing flush to the cheeks. But, it works best as a blush topper for me. 🙂
Overall, I like the Natasha Denona mini blush and glow palette because it gives that subtle radiance to the skin. But, it shows up very little on me. It is best suited for fair to light skin tones. And if you have a very light complexion pick it up. It’s beautiful. For all the dusky beauties, both the highlighter and the blush will work as a nice natural looking highlighters. Even, more as a shimmery eye shadow. (I tried and it gives that wet look to my eyes, which I liked, and easy to use).
But, the subtle and natural look that is gives, is what I mostly prefer due to my oily skin. So. I am happy with my purchase. It reminds me of the Too Faced Blush palette which also gives that natural look. (Just mentioning it, if you want to take a look at that post) 🙂 I know I am all over the place with this review. I like it but I don’t love it, just because of the sheerness of the product. Sometimes, it is difficult to decide what you think about a product. Does that happen to you as well? 🙂
I would recommend the Natasha Denona mini blush and glow to those who like the soft, subtle radiant glow. And to those with fair to lighter skin tones. It looks gorgeous when we want to get that natural flushed look, since the pigmentation is sheer. But is also works best as a blush topper. I have tried with my more pigmented blushes like the Milani, Elf and even the J.cat one and use the #14 blush duo on top, especially for night time. It looks beautiful.
The lasting power of both the highlighter and the blush is very good. It lasts 4-5 hours on my oily skin. I love the size of the compact. It is perfect for on the go and for those who don’t hit pan easily (like me). The Natasha Denona mini blush and glow is perfect for natural day look. If you wish to try, it is available at Sephora for $19. Have you tried anything from Natasha Denona? What are your thoughts on mini makeup? 🙂 Let me know in the comments. Thank you!
Until next time stay bright and beautiful! 🙂

I’ve not heard of this brand before but the product sounds lovely. Like you, I have oily skin, although my cheeks are drier. I tend to use Bourjois or Origins as I find their staying powers are excellent on me. I agree with you about mini-make up though, they’re so handy for on the go and handbags 🙂

I have heard so much praises about Natasha Denona from Youtube that I had to try something and this mini is perfect for that. It is a very pricey brand Lisa. I will never purchase anything full size. 🙂 Thank you very much.
I really want to pick this up, even though it’s mini it will last a long time. Great post! Your pictures are always so beautiful.

Thanks a lot Jennifer. It will look beautiful on your fair skin. And yes it will last a long time besides it is not that expensive. 🙂
I haven’t heard of this brand. I like that you can get mini ones to try out. I hate buying a full sized product only to go to a waste.

Oh yes Sophie! Everything is so pretty and luxurious. 🙂 Thanks babe.
I’ve never tried anything from Natasha Denona, although it looks so pretty! The packaging reminds me so much of NARS and Becca. I love the pink blush!

This is my first purchase too Hannah. I was curious about this brand and wanted try and I really like it. I wish the blush was a little more pigmented though. Thanks a lot my dear. 🙂
I absolutely love the photographs for the blush:) You know, I still haven’t tried the brand yet after all this time. I looked at it in Sephora recently and I’m amazed at the entire collection. Let’s see what they do for summer:))
Oh yes the entire collection is just amazing but I don’t like the price ;-). The packaging is so luxurious even for the mini compact. I thought I should decorate it more to get some pretty shots hehehe. Thanks a lot Marie. 🙂
OOoh, I haven’t tried any products from Natasha Denona before but I love their packaging. It is always nice to check out new products. Their colors look great. I like how the look ok your skin as well. They have a nice shine as a finishing touch. Glad you enjoyed the blush overall. 4-5 hours is pretty good. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Thank you very much Nancy. This is my first from Natasha Denona and I love it. I like the subtle shine that looks so pretty. It is amazing that they have not compromised the packaging for it being a mini compact. I think you should check this brand. 🙂

Aww! That’s so sweet of you Lozza. Thank you so much sweetie. 🙂
I’ve seen Natasha Denona about and due to the cost I’ve never taken the plunge. I like the idea of minis because at least you aren’t breaking the bank trying them out. I don’t think this product for me I’m not one for too subtle I like my highlight bold. Great post!
Same with me Alice. It is way too pricey but I like how affordable the minis are. I have oily skin so I go for subtle highlights. Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
Great photos and review. I haven’t heard of this brand before but the product looks amazing.

I was introduced to this brand by watching Youtube videos. I like this compact a lot. Thanks a lot Nicola 🙂
I love a soft and subtle glow so this sounds perfect for me! I’ve not heard of the brand before but maybe it’s because we don’t have a Sephora here in the UK- I’m off to Prague next month where there is one so I’ll be keeping an eye out!

This will look gorgeous on your fair complexion. Do check it out. Even I shop when I visit US and I love going to Sephora. I could be there forever. haha. Thanks a lot lovely. 🙂
I love mini makeup when I’m trying new products/ brands for the first time. Especially when they’re as expensive as Natasha Denona! I’m yet to try anything from the brand but this product does sound lovely, and I’m very fair so it would probably work well for me! x

Absolutely agree with you Sophie. I keep looking for the mini makeup as these are more efficient. Lets be real who finishes the whole thing. This is such a pricey brand and for $19 I think it is worth a try. It will look pretty on your fair complexion. 🙂 Thanks a lot my dear, 🙂
I agree! Minis are always a good starting point when it comes to makeup. That way, you know you’re not investing too much in a product you’re not sure you’ll like. This little palette is so cute!
Thanks a lot Annie. Now a days I prefer getting mini everything hehe. 🙂
