E.L.F. Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder

A Little Goes A Long Way

I found out about this blush/bronzer duo from a YouTube beauty blogger and decided to check it out. This was my first time purchasing ELF makeup and overall I was pleasantly surprised. I'm kind of obsessed with nice product packaging so I appreciated the similarity in compact design to the NARS blush/bronzer duo. Excellent quality. Product wise, the blush goes on light and powdery whereas the bronzer goes on heavily pigmented so I would suggest using a light hand and gradually building to the desired look. I actually consider the this to be a pro because for three dollars I would have never expected this product to show up as well as it does on my skin. When I want to really get "done up" this does the trick.

C.O. Bigelow Rose Salve Tin

Absolutley Love It

This is my go-to product. I literally use it for everything! As a lip balm it glides on smoothly and leaves a natural glossy shine. It also works wonders for dry hands, moisturizing them without feeling sticky or greasy. Also, I'm a sucker for packaging and love the red vintage looking tin. Did I mention it smells amazing?

Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Lip Gloss

Nothing Special, Just Ok

Way too thick and tacky. It feels like your lips have a sticky coating on them even when you just use a little bit. However, they smell amazing and give just the right amount of shine.

NYX Cosmetics Glam Shadow

Great Color, Too Much Glitter

I bought GS 213- Craving. The pigmentation was great but there were big chunks of glitter that went everywhere. Even with a skilled hand and professional eye shadow brush it will inevitably end up on your cheeks and lashes.
