E.L.F. Studio Blush in Gotta Glow



I picked up this blush when E.L.F. was having a 50% sale on their studio line. I'd read great reviews on it and thought... hmm $1.50... OKAY! My order came pretty fast and I was super impressed with the way it was packed. Also it's worth mentioning that when companies have sales it often takes two to three weeks to receive the order... That was not the case for E.L.F. I had the products I ordered within five days. Thanks for that E.L.F.

Now onto the blush. On their site E.L.F. lists this as a description for their blushes.
"The soft sheer texture blends into the skin for a silky finish. Designed to be worn alone or layered for more depth. Highlight your complexion with a subtle healthy glow!"

I do have a bit of a problem with that description. The texture is soft... too soft for my tastes. When I swipe my finger through this product it feels like I pick up a ton. It is a bit flaky as well. However when you blend it out it does create a nice light gold highlight. I wouldn't label it subtle but it does work. Besides the softness the only other problem I have with it is longevity. It doesn't seem to last on me. Layering it over a cream product would fix that problem but when I'm in a hurry the less products the better.

Overall I would not buy it again. I think it's a steal for the price but I have eyeshadows that would give me the same effect.

    Can't argue for a buck fiddy though! Sometimes it is worth knowing whether something is better than its stupidly priced counterpart even when it turn out it ain't!

    I bought this color blush too, after loving all their blushes and found the same problems you did. I'm sticking with their regular color (pinks and corals) blushes, they are so much better quality!

    What eyeshadow would you recommend (that is not MAC) for a good highlight something along the lines as the ELF blush glow

    Copycat- Sally's Beauty has a shadow called Champagne that's pretty similar.

    Hi Kayla, I haven't tried the elf single shadows. I do have one of the little quads from them and I was pretty impressed with it.
