As creamy cheek palettes go theBalm How ‘Bout Them Apples is up there with the best in terms of wearable shades. I’d be happy to have any of these shades on my cheeks – but of course, there’s a little twist because you can also use them on your lips. Lip/cheek multifunctional formulas always seem to work better on one or the other – I’ve not yet found the dream dual purpose lip and cheek – so I’d be using this on cheeks only I think. There are six apply named shades; Cider, Cobbler, Pie, Crisp, Candy and Caramel.
But, now. The cowboys. What in the … ? I’m totally failing to see the point of them. Sorry, dudes. Why would you even do that to a perfectly lovely fruit themed palette? They remind me of the guys in those ‘novelty’ screwdrivers that lose their pants when you turn it upside down. Come to think of it, one of the brands did a gloss where when you tipped it the man’s trousers fell down (but he was of course wearing boxers, so it wasn’t really all that revealing). I think I’d have liked this better if they’d put kittens on it – or bunnies – about as much relevance to apples as some random half-dresseds.
Nonetheless, if you like a semi naked cowboy draped over your blush, How ‘Bout Them Apples is coming to Cloud 10 Beauty HERE in a few weeks.

Hahaha I didn’t even notice the cowboys because I was busy staring at those gorgeous shades! I’ve never tried anything from theBalm, but this palette could sway me…

Looks really nice, might look more into buying it…totally agree with you on the cowboys, so not needed and it makes it look a little tacky!

Definitely want to try this – depending on the price! I love cream cheek products.

Cute idea but the palette reminds me of the cowboy from Village People! YMCA *makes the arm gestures*
The Balm’s packaging is always so much fun! I really like the look of this blush palette, the cowboys could be a little hotter.

Wasn’t it their nude tude pallette that had 2 versions, one with pinup ladies on it and one without? Maybe they’re going for a similar kind of thing with this one? Only reason I can think of for the cowboys 😛
