ELF Baked Blush in Pinktastic Review

I bought this after reading a blog post about highlighters. I love wearing a highlighter on the top of my cheek bones as I think it looks so pretty. However I have a very small collection of highlighters and I am always on the hunt for new ones. At the drugstore there are not a lot of highlighters although there are plenty of blushes available that can be used as highlighters. When I saw that ELF had a Baked Blush that would act as a highlighter I knew I had to buy. I really like ELF as they sell some amazing products at really affordable prices and I have tried another one of their Baked Blushes in Peachy Cheeky and I really liked it. 

The Baked Blushes cost £3.95 each and you can get them from the ELF website. They come in 4 different shades: Peachy Cheeky, Pinktastic, Passion Pink and Rich Rose. The packaging is very simple it comes in a black pot with a clear lid, although the packaging is simple it feels sturdy. I like that you can see the colour of the product and that the packaging is quite compact so it doesn’t take up too much space in a makeup bag.

What ELF says ‘The soft and shimmering colour of our Baked Blush creates a natural healthy glow. Baked in an oven, these blushes offer rich pigmentation for a beautiful effect. The long-lasting formula provides a gorgeous, smooth and even application.’ (Taken from the ELF website)

I apply this with my Real Techniques Setting Brush which I got in the Sam’s Picks Set. I apply this to the top of my cheek bones and it gives a really pretty sheen to my cheeks. This highlighter is a gorgeous champagne colour with pink veins running through it. This blush is really pigmented and gives a really natural glow to the cheek bones. The texture is really smooth and it applies evenly. I find it to be pretty long lasting it lasts around 6-7 hours before it starts to fade and you need to think about reapplying it. 

Overall I am really impressed with this highlighter, it is one of my favourite ones I own. I might do a post on my favourite ones or a collection post as I don’t have too many highlighters and I think that they can be quite difficult to find at the drugstore.

Have you tried this highlighter?

ELF Baked Blush in Peachy Cheeky Review

A little while ago I bought a few things from ELF, one of the things I bought was a Baked Blush in the shade Peachy Cheeky. In my opinion it is the perfect colour for spring and I have been wearing it a lot. Normally I opt for pink coloured blushes but recently I have been reaching for peach toned blushes more. I featured this in my March Favourites as I wore it pretty much everyday during March. 

Packaging

The blush comes in a black compact with a clear lid. The packaging is a bigger version of the baked eyeshadow packaging. The packaging feels pretty sturdy and I wouldn't be afraid to take it travelling with me.  

Colour 

The blush is a pale peach and has a gorgeous shimmer to it. It has gold shimmer running through it which looks lovely in  the sun. 

Formula 

This blush is very soft and smooth which makes it very easy to blend. The blush is very pigmented and lasts for around 5-6 hours on my skin.

I have really enjoyed wearing this blush recently I think it is a gorgeous colour for the spring. I was really impressed with the quality of this blush as it is very affordable. There are only 4 colours in the range but they all look really pretty. I have Pinktastic as well which is a gorgeous highlighting colour. 

Product: ELF Baked Blush

Price: £3.95

Shades: Peachy Cheeky, Pinktastic, Passion Pink and Rich Rose

ELF Haul January 2013

A little while ago I ordered a few things from ELF  and today I thought I would share with you what I got. I will be doing more in depth reviews of these products once I try them out. 

Firstly I picked up the Daily Brush Cleaner I am really bad at cleaning my brushes, I don't do it as often as I should but I am hoping that this will be much quicker to do so that I will be able to clean my brushes more often. I heard about the new Moisturising Lipsticks and I knew I had to try them out. I love moisturising lipsticks so I thought these would be perfect for me. I choose the shade Flirty & Fabulous which is a gorgeous bright pink. I am currently really enjoying using this and it is quite a moisturising formula. I wanted to repurchase the Eyelid Primer in Sheer but that was sold out so I opted for Champagne which I think will work well with all of my neutral eyeshadows. This primer is one of my favourites and it is so affordable so I definitely recommend it.  I got 2 of the Baked Blushes as I had heard such good things about them. I got the shades Peachy Cheeky and Pinktastic both of these are beautiful colours and I am looking forward to trying them out. The last 2 items are eyeshadows, I had previously tried the Baked Eyeshadow in Bark and loved it so much that I wanted to try another one. I chose the shade Burnt Plum as I thought it would work really well with Bark.  The last thing I got was from the Mineral range, I haven't tried many products from this range and as it was in the sale I thought it was worth giving it a try. I got the Pressed Mineral Eyeshadow in Lunch Break which is a gorgeous colour and one that I am loving wearing all over my lid. 

So this is all the products that I got from ELF as I try them out I will review them for you. Have you tried any of these products? Do you have any ELF recommendations?
