My Thoughts...

Blush is definitely one of my favorite sort of products in my collection. It’s one of those simple items that can make such a big difference to anyone’s complexion. When I placed my last order I planned on getting one of each blusher but with my luck yes I was to slow and 3 of them were already sold out.I own 6 different colors and I can honestly say I love them all aside from 1.

What I like about this E.L.F. blush is that it comes in 9 lovely colors and comes in a very chic compact. There is also a peek - a - boo window at the very top of the front to see what color you are picking if they are stored in a way that you can not read the back tiny sticker! It may be cheap in price, but it's not cheap in quality. I love the silky texture and I found it to be highly pigmented,depending on how much you use... Some of them have to be applied with several layers but I like the fact that most of them are build able. I think a build able product gives you full control so you don't over do your face!

The blushers applied nicely to my face, I use my MAC 187. I just take a swirl of color and dust it over my cheeks in a layer or two :)

I found this blush to be long lasting, which is sort of unusual for me because I powder blushes tend to fad for me quickly because I have oily skin. They last from the early morning hours and still hold on till late afternoon when my day is done and over with. (with the proper facial base) I also love E.L.F Studio blush because it’s a cruelty-free product!

The only bad thing to say about the product is a few of them seem to be a bit chalky. Then again I believe it's all about the weight of the hand. it's something I deal with for the low price. I don't like the glitter in some of them either... I guess that would apply to only those who don't enjoy it. I don't like glitter in my products because I have oily skin and there's no need to add glitter to it!

I would definitely recommend these blushers, it’s a good quality product for a great price.

Maybelline Dream Mousse Review

On a positive note I tried my best to show you the up side to this product,the packaging... yeee

Product Details

Like the blush, the shadow comes in a cute little glass pot with screw-on lid. In fact, the only difference is the size, with the shadow coming in a slightly smaller pot with .12oz of shadow. Pricing in stores varies, but regular price is typically $6.00-$7.00


What Maybelline says about Dream Mousse Shadow:

-Scientifically advanced mousse formula blends like a dream and wears like a super-smooth powder.
-The air-whipped texture provides luminous, long-lasting color on eyes.
-Glides on smooth and blends easily for seamless color without creasing or fading.

My Thoughts:

Blush
I like the blushers a lot for days where a bit of gold reflex in a blush is appropriate. It gave my cheeks a nice color & had a nice luminous finish. I like the nice whipped texture and found it very easy to apply. I used an blusher application brush to pat on and blend in color to make it look as natural as possible.

Shadows
I expected a similar experience with the shadow. However, from the get-go I had problems. I noticed that it appeared a bit drier than the blush and it was hard to run my finger tip over the shadow to get some on to apply. It sort of sticks to my finger in a clump of mess. The texture of it was far from mousse-like, in my opinion. Trying to apply this evenly and smoothly, even though I do wear a shadow primer, proved to be a difficult task. I really had to work hard to blend it and get a nice smooth finish. I also noticed it does not go on even and is not what a shadow should look like at all. I tried then to still think positive and just use them as a base... no ladies. Don't. Adding to my disappointment was that this shadow really lacks pigmentation. Once I applied it and smoothed it out, the shade was considerably lighter than it appeared in the pot. I tend to go for a smokey look when using brown or taupe shadows, but this certainly wasn't giving me the look I was going for. Now, I have used a lot of cream shadows and know that many are designed to be layered so that they can provide either a subtle or more dramatic look. But I found that layering more on only caused the shadow to crease and create a chalky look.

The wear I got out of Dream Mousse Shadow was less than satisfactory, too. By mid-day it had faded and the creasing had got even worse. Trying to do a touch-up was just too much to deal with. I also noticed that some of the shimmer from this shadow had migrated to my under-eye region. In fact, I noticed when using this my sensitive eyes started itching, most likely due to particles flaking off and getting in my eyes.

Horrid product. I had 15 pots of blushers & shadows,bronzer. I don't use either of them. I use the blushers once in a greeeeeat while... but all in all it was a waste of time and money. Hopefully a new formula will be put into action.
