e.l.f Baked Blush Review

My very first Elf product came from a fellow Beauty Review Member. It was given to me as a gift earlier on in the year. I never really knew about Elf until I became a member of this site. Elf can be found in Kmart stores and iherb. I've been wanting to do iherb haul for some time now, but just haven't gotten around to doing it.

This Blush that I got was Pinky Cheeky. The small compact has a window so you can see the product. This blush is pink and has a slight shimmer through it. The consistency of the powder was quite thin. It doesn't have any scent to it.

When I applied it to my cheeks I found it difficult to build colour up. As for long lasting, it didn't last very long at all on me. I tried using dry and wet still didn't get any good results. Would I purchase it again yes only to give it one more chance. I want to see if I get the same result. I'll return back to this review to see if it happens again.

I bought 2 different shades of this blush as all the reviews online claimed that it was super pigmented and more suited to be a highlighter than a blush. I adore highlighters so this was really the only reason why I bought this blush. I do not like this product as a blush or highlighter. The product used as a blush provides average pigmentation and for me personally I do not find it powerful enough to use as a highlighter. The formula is very chalky and does not guide of my face very smoothly. I am not a fan of the texture. I find the packaging to be very cheap looking. Although I do not like this product it seems almost impossible to find a bad review on it. Seems like everyone but me raves about this baked blush.

If you're after a cheap but good blush, this is one to try. It is a pretty blush and it could also be a highlighter. This is a double product for me which I really like.

I have the shade peachy cheeky which is a pink tone blush. It has shimmer and it is more of an overspray as well but when applied, it gives off a great rosy glow and I really like it on.

I didn't find it as long lasting as my other blushes but I'm still happy with it and it has become my everyday blush to work.

I purchased this from Iherb having heard great reviews about Elf baked goods. Also the price was appealing @ $3. The packaging: A simple blush in a plastic black and clear compact. The product: A marbled pink and brownish raised shadow. No sparkle apparent. Its instructed to use apply wet to the face for intense effect. Use/effects : so I used this with my urban decay de slick setting spray by spraying the blush brush then brushing over the blush, applying to the apples of the cheeks. I didn't get any intense look and no matter how I applied it all that's apparent is a shimmer sparkle to my skin so I tend to build it up by layer other blushes with it. I also used without a wet brush& still the blush is ineffective. Using it layered with my matte bronze blushes gives the shimmer effect. In all it doesn't want to work. Unfortunately I'm dissatisfied with the product. I so want to have it work so I keep adding it into my routine. Maybe I ruined it by using a wet brush to it. I'm not sure, all I know is it doesn't give me the effect I hoped it would...

I have this in Passion Pink and I love the color. It has a lot of shimmer which didn't show up on the photo on the website. In real life this could probably be used as a bit of a highlighter or for strobing? I tried using this as good old blush and I think it's pretty good for its price. The color isn't extremely pigmented but shows as a really youthful pink/copper kind of color. The fallout of loose powder when I tried picking up was a downside but when I wet the brush slightly I found it much easier to pick up color. It was super windy today and I was happily surprised to find that this stayed on for a whole afternoon out despite my hair smacking into my face constantly. Also I like how the packaging is very simplistic and to the point.

I know this product clearly states that its a blush, i get that! But the colour i have is called pink-tastic, and although it may be a nice blush on some people, this is definitely a highlighter on me.

Anyway, i really like the packaging of this product. It's well designed, it may be cheaply made, but it doesn't look that cheap so thumbs up.This blush has a beautiful luminous glow to it and is a pearlescent gold with pink swirls.It is a dome shape, and honestly looks really pretty.

I have to admit, i find this blush is really tricky to apply with a brush because my brushes just cant pick up enough of the product to do anything. I could be because of the baked nature of the blush, but it is quite hard. However, using my fingers for application lets me pick up enough product so that okay, although not ideal.

This looks amazing of my skin as a highlight. Its pretty, it looks like a highlight and it last the whole day. Its so affordable, and so i recommend it for all, even though it is tricky to use with a brush, fingers seem to do the trick, and for $3 im not complaining.

I am only just beginning to experience the brand of e.l.f. So far I have been mostly unimpressed that was until the e.l.f baked blush made it's way in to my makeup draws. The blush presentation itself reminds me of a blood moon and it intrigued me.

I love that I can see what I am buying thanks to the clear lid compact. There have been countless times where you can not see the product only the colour name and appearance on the back. Blush itself scares me. I don't want to look too overdone. I have been the victim of the stares before because my blush is too obvious. My new motto is less is more.

I use my bossy blush brush to maximize quality. I lightly brush the brush over the blush and it's almost as if there is a layer of caked on hard material on top of the blush. The brush picks up hardly any of it. I accidentally dropped it and broke some of the top off the blush. I tried it again and low and behold success with getting the blush on my brush.

I have the colour Peachy Cheeky and it's amost a light blood orange colour. It's simply stunning to say the least. It glides on effortlessly (that is once the top caked broke). I blend, blend, blend because I find that I prefer a more subtle glow to my cheeks that a big blush stain like some do. It gives my face a glow I could never achieve myself so I love that.

The prices of e.l.f have always been very affordable for me. It has kind of changed my mind about money means quality. In this case cheap is not nasty. The only thing I would prefer is if the top wasn't so crusty and not useable. I lost a quarter of the product before I found a good layer that was able to be scooped up by the brush. Blush no longer scares me after find e.l.f baked blush. I am a tad hooked.

I purchased this online as a 'filler' blush because I knew I'd be travelling and wanted to buy something in Aussie.

The e.l.f. range has a lot going for it, in my opinion. It's inexpensive, readily available online and in Kmart, and there are some amazing hidden gem products in the range. The baked blush, for me, is not a hidden gem.

The blush comes packaged ina more éxpensive'looking way than I expected for the $5 I paid for it. It was boxed, in a modern black box. The casing is cheap, but adequate, with a black base and clear dome lid with only the company logo and product name on top, allowing you to see the product clearly. On the back is a tiny label with the name of the shade. I have this product in 'Passion Pink'.

The blush itself is a slightly elevated dome shape, and a very pretty mix of bronze and rose. It has the typical 'baked' lustre and a nice shimmer in the case.

This is where the issue comes in. This blush just doesn't want to get on my brushes. I've tried it with a few different ones and it's just not interested. In frustration, I wiped the blush itself on my cheekbones, and it transferred to my face well when done that way and blended out with the blush brush, but this isn't ideal!

When I DID manage to get it on my skin, the colour was pretty, shimmery, and more of a tinted highlighter than a blush, per se - but when rubbed straight onto the skin without a brush can build strongly. It wears okay, if you've managed to build up decent colour, but if not it's barely noticeable.

I've thrown this in my gym bag to use then, because I've since purchased a better blush. I'm not hugely disappointed because it was so cheap and it is useable, technically, but not ideal. I'm hoping that once the top layer is gone the rest will loosen up

This blush, for the price, is amazing and is a daily staple in my routine. It combines a highlighter glow along with a perfect pop of colour, so it's a super time saver as well! I have 3 shades, 2 that are perfect for daily use and one that is for a more dramatic look. I will be repurchasing. The only down side to it is the quality of the packaging. 2 of the lids have completely fallen away from the pan itself.

I got the colour peachy cheeky a while ago when the rave reviews were flying around for this blush but after using it lots I dont share the same sentiments as those who rave about it.

Firstly its labelled as a blush and it shouldnt be. Its not pigmented enough to be a blush and its sparkly as hell. Its looks like you've been attacked by glitter fairies if you wear this as a blush! Secondly the lasting power is not that of a blush. I apply it and literary watch it blow off my face.

So I dont use it as a blush but rather as a top over a matte blush and will use only the tiniest amount. When using this on top of a blush it gives your cheeks a glow but without all the sparkle. I only wear this at night when I want more than a highlighter and I want my cheeks to pop out.

I plan to use this until Ive finished it but will not be repurchasing as I dont see why I really need. I could use blush with a bit of shimmer and then add one of my favourite highlighters to my cheekbones and it would give the same effect but just better.

For people on a budget this "blush" would be right up your alley to use as a highlighter if your cant see yourself investing in high end products but dont be fooled that its really a blush because its not.
