Review: E..L.F Cream Blush - Heartbreaker!

 

Hello Readers!


Today I am reviewing E.L.F's Cream Blush, I have the colour Heartbreaker. I recently did a haul from http://www.eyeslipsface.com/ and had it shipping to me via my forwarding service. I LOVE E.L.F so Im always excited to receive packages from them and although I dont like filming haul videos for you anymore, I will review the products and feature them in tutorials.

False light

I typically like a very high impact cheek and therefore tend to gravitate towards very pigmented colours, however even this blush scared me in its packaging and I was a little intimadated to try it. I needed be because when I started swatching it (Im sorry for not actually posting swatches) it was very sheer, and I mean VERY sheer. It would take at least 6 swatches to build it up to the colour it is in the container. Is this a bad thing? I dont think so, as much as I like bright cheeks I dont like it to be very obvious Im wearing blush, I just like a flushed look, I have very pigmented lips and broken capillaries around my cheeks that give the flushed look anyway so instead on muting that, I embrace it.

The consistency is quite strange to me, it not very creamy at all. It almost feels like a cream to powder finish and not what I was expecting from a cream blush, however again I dont think this is a problem, I like cream blushes however I have oily skin so I dont want it to look particulary creamy on my skin. This is quite matte and has a very sutble sheen to it that looks like a highlight, so I was very impressed.

Application was tricky, I had recently cleaned my brushes so my brush was slightly damp and therefore didnt pick up much product, so I resorted to my fingers which worked great and the product blending out very nicely, since it isnt very creamy you dont get a lot of time to blend, so work quickly.

Packaging: Now a lot of people make a fuss over E.L.F cream eyeliners packing (which is the same but smaller) I dont mind them, however this annoys me because it is a larger product. My eyeliners fit nicely in my makeup drawers, however Im not sure how Im going to pack this away because of the size, I was actually considering de-potting it. So this so far is the only knock to the product.

Bottom line: I like this product, Im not in a rush to go buy other colours because I have tried better cream blushes, however I really do enjoy this product and have no regrets for purchasing it.

Would I reccommend it? Yes

Rating: 3/5

Until next time
