I already have one of the Studio blushes in Blushing Rose and I love it so I felt it was about time that I indulged in some more. These are £3.50 each for 4.8g of lovely product and come in the NARS-esque black packaging with a handy window to see the colour through and a decent sized mirror. I have Gotta Glow (a blatant NARS Albatross rip off) which is a gold shimmering highlighter and Pink Passion which is a vivid slightly yellow toned matte pink.
Pink Passion already has a special place in my collection and one of the few true pinks I can wear. My neutral skin tone seems to make cool toned pinks look too dolly and warm toned pinks can pull a little reddish. This is spot on perfect. It’s incredibly pigmented so you literally just need to tap your brush to it and although it can be a little powdery it blends easily and lasts most of the day too. Definitely a win!
Gotta Glow is fast becoming a firms favourite too. Yes it looks white and scary in the pan but on the skin it is a lovely golden sheen with no hint of looking ashy. In a perfect world I would like the shimmer to be a touch more finely milled but it doesn’t look glittery at all. Again is can be a little powdery but it practically melts itself onto the skin.
I’m not sure if I’ll be picking up any of the other shades as they look a little too shimmery for my taste but I’d recommend these to anyone. They are fantastic value for money and perform brilliantly. Love them! X
*I bought these myself*
oooo I want the pink!! I was gonna pick up fuchsia mac blusher but this bright enough to do the trick!!

ReplyDeleteThat's beautiful! Once I use up my MAC blushes I think I'll invest in ELF!

I have some elf blushes in my collection that I've yet to try. Maybe I should dig them out TODAY and give it a go! :) I would love to see a photo of you wearing this blush though, so we can see exactly what you mean about it being spot on :) *hint hint, wink wink*
ReplyDeleteWhere do you buy Elf products from in the UK? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThe pink blush looks amazing! Im slowly building up a huge list of things to buy of the e.l.f website haha xx

ReplyDeleteLol I'm afraid Lyuba-chan that I have been 'blessed' with a face that photographs like something my cat coughed up. I'm extremely self concious about posting photo's of myself (though oddly I'm ok with making videos?). Sorry!
ReplyDeleteHi Anita, I get them from http://www.eyeslipsface.co.uk/index.htm
I have a wish list on there a mile long but I'm trying to resist putting another order in!

Claire, you're a weirdo, just so you know :) I think videos are so much worse than photos! I love my photos being taken... video on the other hand, NO THANKS lol
ReplyDeleteHaha well I'm ok with being a weirdo on video :p I swear I genuinly ran away from the photographer on my wedding day! x
ReplyDeleteOh I hope you didn't? Or did? LOL
ReplyDeleteI love Gotta Glow. I have Candid Coral, which isn't too obnoxiously glittery/shimmery if you'd thought about that one.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip Rae Rae! I'll pop it on the wish list x
