Elf Studio Blush Review

Hi beauties! Today I thought I would share some of my latest finds with you. You might have noticed that Eyes.Lips.Face (Elf) has popped up at your local Kmart store this year. For all of us beauty buffs this has been a long time coming as this is the first time Elf has been readily available in Australia (Yay!).

My local Kmart is being refurbished so they did not have the full display of products so the ones that I am reviewing today were actually purchased off Ebay, but hopefully Kmart will stock these shades (I will let you know once I see the full display).

I understand that the elf blushes retail at around $8.00 each at Kmart, which is pretty good value I think (and cheaper than NYX in Australia anyway). However these blushes retail for $3.00USD in America so as far as that goes, we are still getting ripped off but what can you do!

Shade: Blushing Rose
The two shades that I will be talking about today are 'Pink Passion' which is a beautiful vibrant pink as you can see from the pictures above and 'Blushing Rose' which is a lovely mauve colour.

I understand that the elf blushes retail at around $8.00 each at Kmart, which is pretty good value I think (and cheaper than NYX in Australia anyway). However these blushes retail for $3.00USD in America so as far as that goes, we are still getting ripped off but what can you do!

In terms of quality, I think that these blushes are fantastic and I can see why there is so much hype about them in America! Both of the above colours are beautifully pigmented and easy to work with. They are buildable so you can easily achieve either a slight hint of colour to a vibrant statement cheek - the choice is yours!

In terms of lasting power, the Blushing Rose tends to last longer than the 'Pink Passion' but both last at least 5 hours on average.

Overall, I am a big fan of these blushes and hope that my local Kmart will have a good shade range so that I can add to my collection. If you are after an a blush that won't break the budget then look no further than elf -  I highly recommend these.

Have you tried many elf products? What do you think of them?

    I think ELF is a great starter brand, such good quality for the price!

    Can't wait to try them. Haven't had a good look yet, but Kmart is fashion mecca for broke chicks like me!

    I'm in Texas, USA and elf brushes are $1 USD. Crazy huh? I have their eyelid primers, and those were a dollar and just as good as Urban Decay's Primer Potion in terms of longevity.

    I have been hesitant to get these because Kmart doesn't have testers and I always have such a bad time with really budget makeup. I might have to pick one up and just give them a try. These swatches look good :)
