Beauty Product Reviews
Adore it.
Honestly, this works better then UDPP for me. I bought this when I saw it at Kmart, because I was out of primer and figured if I can get away with paying a dollar for it, I was just winning. OH MY GOODNESS. I love it. It keeps my shadow and concealer on all day when I use it on my lid and under my eye. I bought one for my mom and even she said she could see a difference between when she did and didn't wear this.
Surprisingly Enjoyable!
My moms friend gave this to me a couple years ago (her daughter had bought it and decided she didn't like it, but used to much too return it). At first I thought I would hate it, because most sweet smells are nauseating to me. They make me feel sick, and I hate it. But to me there's something more warm and bakery-ish about this cotton candy-ish scent. It works! It lasts a while soon, especially if I pair it over Warm Vanilla Sugar lotion by Bath n Body works. Love it!
Love in a compact.
Where do I start with this? First of all, I LOVE the packaging. Very sleek, and has a large and I mean LARGE mirror. You get a pretty blush and a PHENOMENAL bronzer. To be honest, I don't really use the blush that much. Its pretty, and I use it when I don't have another blush on hand, but its just another peachy pink on me and is more shimmery then glowy. That being said, I didn't buy this for the blush, or even for a bronzer and a blush, I bought this for a bronzer. I wear this as my contour color EVERY DAY, and I love it. I'm pale and it looks fairly natural when blended. If ELF knew what they were doing, they would sell a full size pan (like NARS laguna size) of it. I would sure as hell buy!
not so hot...
I got this in a swap. The only reason why this has 1 and a half stars for me is because I didn't have to pay for it, and I like the packaging. The color match is pretty good (I'm somewhere in between a MAC NC15-NC20.). However, upon application it makes my combo skin even worse. The areas I'm semi dry in (and not super dry) look flaky and gross, and the areas I'm moderately oily in (not super oily) become grease slicks. The shimmer doesn't help, and in sunlight I look like a glitter bomb. Not a fan.
Moisturizing, and kind of adorable!
I've had this in Summer Fruit, Lemon Drop, Honeysuckle Honey Dew, and Sweet Mint. These look adorable on your vanity, or when being pulled out of bags, and in my opinion are very soothing, smoothing, and hydrating! However, it does get annoying not being able to put this in my pocket for school, and I find the packaging gets dirty really fast. More of a home user with this one!
