E.L.F Blush: Candid Coral

Hey adventurers! Today's post is of the ever famous E.L.F blush in the color Candid Coral rumored to be an orgasm by NARS dupe. I do not own Orgasm so I cannot add my thoughts onto that, BUT I can tell you that I like this color. It's a nice coral shade with gold shimmer to it. As you can tell from the photo above it is a little dusty and/or powdery. Unfortunately I couldn't take a picture of it unused for you since I have had this blush for months now.

Above is a very heavy swatch to show the color that you can get out of it. I find that when applying it with my e.l.f complexion brush it's very difficult to get a lot of color. The golden sheen of this blush is amazing. It works as a highlight as well. I wore it alone on my cheeks today and I didn't need a highlight--and I forgot to use one as I was in a rush. I went for a natural look today as well AND I didn't have the time to really get the pigmentation that I wanted out of the blush but it ended up working just fine.

Please ignore the crazy hair. That golden shimmer you see on my face is this blush and I think it looks amazing. This is after my 7 hour shift at work today. I think that the only thing that you can really see thats left is the golden sheen, but it was good and it worked for the look that I was going for today.

So overall this is a very nice blush and I do like it. I do wish it was a little more pigmented though as it took quite a few swipes in the blush and over the face to get this minimal color.


Would I repurchase? Probably.

E.l.f Glossy Gloss in Dragon Fruit

Hey Adventurers! Today I'm doing a review on the glossy gloss from e.l.f (eyes.lips.face) which can be purchased here in the shade Dragon Fruit. I chose this color because it was a shade that caught my eye on the website--side note: the color swatches on eyeslipsface.com are extremely off from the actual product you will receive and if you have reached this post(by searching) then you are doing the right thing by researching the color and by seeing swatches, yay for you!-- because it was a pretty regular shade, a light pinky coral color and I thought 'oh yeah, that seems regular enough to pull off!' And it's regular price is 3.00 but they always have a 50% off studio coupon that's running that allows you to get it for 1.50!

So in the photo above you'll see the swatch, and as you can tell it's a pinky coral color and it's just gorgeous. In the swatch it comes out pretty pigmented and it's a very wearable gloss with no glitter or shimmer whatsoever.

On the lips: The color comes off very streaky and I want to say that's from the brush. The brush is a very low quality brush that is very hard and scratchy. Not a pleasant experience to apply this--okay, so it's not THAT bad, but I still expected a little more to be honest-- I was quite disappointed with this. I usually don't like Brush type applicators anyway because I just find it awkward to be completely honest; but the brush that comes with this is just absolutely horrible.


Overall would I repurchase this? I'm still on the fence about them, the color is great when you get over the streaky-ness but that brush is just... I don't know how to describe it...
