Review: ELF Studio Blush in Candid Coral

Today's review is of a blush from ELF that I have worn every single day since I got it without fail. I've been really into coral colours for summer, and this blush is no exception.

ELF's studio blushes are quite popular, as they are very inexpensive but very good quality. That doesn't change with Candid Coral.

Candid Coral is a beautiful corally pink with golden shimmer. It adds such a beautiful glow to your face, but doesn't make you look like a disco ball!

You can see the glitter (yes, it isn't a fine shimmer, it is glitter) in the pan, but when you swatch it, it sort of disappears. That being said, it is visible on your face when you are in light, but it looks so pretty that I don't mind it.

The texture of this is a tiny bit chalky, but it doesn't dry your face out. It does have a matte appearance despite being so shimmery. So don't worry, you oily skinned people, the shimmer in this won't make you get oilier faster.

Overall, I am thrilled with this blush and intend to wear it for a very long time!

Review: ELF Studio Blush in Tickled Pink

Hi guys, sorry I've been so absent lately. I got a part time job and I have a lot less free time now!

Anyways, today's post is a quick review from one of my favourite line of blushes, ELF Studio Blushes.

These are some of the most raved about blushes, because they are so inexpensive and really high quality.

I have the shade Tickled Pink, which is a very pretty light dusty pink. This is a matte blush. In some lights it can look cool toned, in other's more warm.

I chose this shade on ELF's website because it looked like the lightest one there, and I am very pale. I was right, it is very light, so there is a chance it may not show up on you if you have a darker skin tone. 

The pigmentation is good, it's just such a light shade, that it can be tricky to make it show up. But I know the rest of the line has some darker colours if that would be what you are looking for.

These retail for $3 on ELF's website, or in some stores.

Thanks for reading!!

Review: MAC Blush in Dame

Mac Powder Blush in Dame 

This is my one and only MAC blush, because there aren't honestly very many blushes that MAC sells that I would actually wear. Plus they cost about $22 CAD, and I can good quality blushes from the drugstore!

I'm not bashing this blush though, I actually really like it.

Dame is a matte rose pink. It might look sort of scary and dark in the pan, but it's really not. I'm really pale and it works well. The pigmentation isn't that great. Well, it was when I first got it, and I had to use a really light hand, but now, well it's a kind of a weird story.

I don't know if this is just me, or if it happens to other people, but my blush developed a sort of hard layer over top, so I had to try really hard to get the tiniest bit of colour. Before that happened, it was very pigmented. After a while, I just scraped off the top layer, and then it was pigmented again. Weird. 

It's a really pretty colour, though. It can be light enough for daytime, or you can deepen it up for nighttime.
