|| e.l.f. Maximum Coverage Concealer Review ||

After seeing someone on YouTube using this product and hearing them say how great it was as an under eye concealer I decided to try it out. I picked the shade Tan because I had purchased a stick concealer from e.l.f. in the same shade a while back and I thought that it would be light enough for under the eyes to give a brightening effect.

It comes in a squeezy tube which is great because it means that there's no mess when using it and you don't end up using too much product. Colour wise I felt that it was a bit lighter than the stick concealer but it still worked out great.

It has a thick creamy consistency and is easy to blend. I apply this using the Eco Tools concealer brush, the Real Techniques Deluxe crease brush or a beauty blending sponge, they all work amazingly with this concealer. It covers up my dark circles quite well and has great staying power, it tends to last the whole day if I set it with a powder. However, it does sometimes settle into fine lines under my eyes and crease but not always. Also, on some days when my under eyes are super dark I do have to use another concealer on top of it. But other than that I think that this is a great product and I will definitely be repurchasing it.

This is another product that I picked up in the e.l.f sale and I've been using it for a couple of weeks now. Again when I added to this to my basket it was not with the intention of using it as a blush, I was hoping it would work as a nice sheer pinkish highlighter.

In the pan it appears to be a brownish colour with pinky/coral veining and a golden shimmer running through it. When swatched it is not as pigmented as Peachy Cheeky (which I reviewed here)but still gives an amazing glowy pink colour. And I do actually use this as a blush, usually on days when I don't want to add too much to my cheeks or if I'm keeping my make up quite simple. I apply it using the Real Techniques Contour brush or the e.l.f. Studio Blush Brush.

Swatched, not as pigmented as the other blush but still a very pretty colour

I also like to apply it on top of other blushers to give them a little something extra and I then add a highlight to my cheekbones since this shade is not quite as shimmery as Peachy Cheeky. But again this is an amazing shade and something that I use on a regular basis, a great buy and really inexpensive :)

|| e.l.f. Baked Blusher - Peachy Cheeky ||

So I while age ago I ordered some things off of e.l.f. cosmetics when they had a 50% sale on and did a haul post which you can find here. And I will be reviewing all the items I got, over the next few weeks. The first post is going to be a review of the Studio Baked Blush in Peachy Cheeky.

When I was browsing the e.l.f. website I decided to add this blush to my basket, not to use as a blusher but to use as a highlighter to give my cheeks a nice glow since it would be a bit too light for my skin-tone to use as an actual blush. If you have a lighter skin-tone than me the you could probably get away with using it as a blusher.

In the pan it appears to be a light peachy/pink shade with brown veining running and a shimmer through it. On my skin it is a light peachy shade with golden shimmer running through it making it a perfect highlight shade. The pigmentation of the blush is great and it isn't too powdery/chalky. It's also really easy to blend. I've been reaching for this quite often to add a little bit of a glow to my cheeks. I prefer applying it using my fingers because I feel that the colour payoff is better that way, but it also looks great applied with a brush, I sometimes use the Real Techniques contour brush if I'm not using my fingers. The packaging could be a bit more study in my opinion but I think its a great product and for the price you couldn't really go wrong. This blush retails at £3.25 but I got it on sale for half price from the e.l.f. cosmetics website. If you don't already own this blush I think you should definitely give it a try!
