A pretty penny
ColourPop A Pretty Penny Blush & Lite Stix Duo ($ 14.00 for 0.61 oz.) Contains a light-medium gold cream highlighter and a soft peach cream blush. Both shades were emollient, blendable, and easy to work with on bare skin or over a foundation, and they worked consistently with their respective formulas (their “worst” attribute was more pigmented than marketed).

Cash deposit
Cash deposit is a medium peach with moderate, warm undertones and a bright finish. It had medium buildable coverage that was a bit more transparent when applied with a brush and rather medium when applied straight from the tube or with your fingertips.
The texture was emollient, but it spread well on my skin, whether applied to bare skin or foundation and blended without lifting the product. It took a good eight and a half hours before it visibly faded.

Formula overview
$ 8.00 / 0.33 oz. – $ 24.24 per ounce
The formula is designed to “blend easily” with a “natural, skin-like finish” that can be layered or applied to bare skin. The brand recommends applying straight from the tube for greater coverage and using a brush to pick up the product for less coverage, although coverage “easily builds color to your heart’s content”. They dry off to a semi-solid finish – slightly baptismal, definitely “natural, skin-like” in appearance, but not overly sticky or really wet looking. I haven’t found them hike or exercise a lot, so the formula is still more durable at seven to nine hours with minimal exercise. So far, they have also been applied and worn well over the foundation. They are not transfer-safe, but transfer-resistant; They don’t smudge if accidentally touched, but they’re not completely locked.
The pigmentation varied a little from shade to shade, but most shades were semi-opaque to fully opaque when applied straight from the tube in a “swipe” motion, although I think mimicking this on the cheeks is not quite as easy as it is Compared to my arm. I preferred to pick up the product with my fingertip, pat the apple of my cheek and spread it up and out, then use a clean fingertip to spread and soften the edges as needed. I appreciated that even the deeper shades didn’t seem to “sink” into my pores and could be applied and blended as easily as very light, more my skin-but-better (literally my skin!) Shades. I would describe that the formula can be built up from semi-transparent to medium strength, with a semi-opaque opacity being possible, but the formula has enough slip that it noticeably shimmers out even when heavily applied.
The consistency was slightly emollient, light and thin with good spreadability and agitation; It didn’t lift the base products, but it still worked well on bare skin. I haven’t seen it lift or stain the foundation over time even when I initially applied the foundation, but I would recommend (as with most cream-based cheek formulas!) Matte foundation for the best results (the dewy one!) Finish plays well with a more skin-like base).
Oh, the caps have the names of the products, but the rest of the tube doesn’t. So if you’ve opened more than one, be sure to put the correct lid back on!

On a streak
On a streak is a light, peach-colored gold with warmer undertones and a pearlescent sheen. It had almost opaque pigmentation in a single layer when applied with the fingertip, although in practice it tended to be of medium opacity. With a brush it had a semi-transparent to medium buildable color coverage; but overall it was a little more pigmented than marketed.
The texture was light, pliable without being too slippery, which made it easy to blend on both bare skin and foundation. It lasted a good eight and a half hours before it faded noticeably.
