Gift sets are such a fun way to try out items from a brand. So many brands come out with such fun, cute gift sets during the Holidays. I picked up both the Westman Atelier Squeaky And Cheeky Duo Holiday Gift Sets. Do they meet my expectations? Or do they exceed expectations, we shall see.
The Sephora website says each set is “A limited-edition set featuring a full-size lip balm and mini multipurpose blush stick—amplify skin with a healthy flush of color and juicy finish. Discover the matchmaking method for the perfect lip and cheek shade pairings from Gucci Westman, Westman Atelier’s founder. Juxtaposing warm and cool tones, these combinations make for a fresh pop of color any time of year. This pocket-size duo features a sheer, cushiony lip tint and a soothing flush of color that can be worn on cheeks, lips, and lids. Brimming with skin-loving nourishment and high-performance pigments for a look that is always effortless and never overdone.”
Packaging Of The Westman Atelier Squeaky And Cheeky Duo
Each set contains a full sized Squeaky Clean Liquid Lip Balm and a mini sized Baby Cheeks Lip and Blush Stick. The packaging of the lip balm is exactly like their regular lip balm. Additionally the mini lip and blush sticks look like a mini version of the full sized lip and blush sticks. The only difference is that the regular sized lip and blush sticks have a magnetized cap. These have a snap closure.
Formula Of The Westman Atelier Squeaky And Cheeky Duo
These products are vegan, gluten-free, cruelty-free, and also come in recyclable packaging. The Baby Cheeks Lip and Blush Stick has Berryflux Vita that boosts hydration and preserves youthful-looking skin. Lastly the Squeaky Clean Liquid Lip Balm has Jojoba, Almond, and Argan Oil Blend which hydrates and softens the lips.

My Experience
I love both these gift sets for everyday looks. Couchette is such a pretty blush for work. It however washes me out, if I wear it on my lips. So I prefer to just use it as a blush. It’s never too much, just the right amount of flush. Ma Puce will give you a pop of color and is very hydrating.
Bichette is very pigmented and I apply it sparingly. But it can be blended/sheered out easily. This shade I can wear on my lips. Nana works almost as a clear balm. It does not have much color on my pigmented lips. I love the formula of these lip balms. They are very hydrating. I also use Nana to tone down some deep lipstick shades I have.
I love both the Westman Atelier Squeaky And Cheeky Duos so much that I have been reaching for them constantly since I got them. It is no fuss makeup. And perfect size to travel with as well.
