E.L.F Blush Review

Hi!

How is everyone today, after yesterday's Christmas festivities?

I'm alright. I'm a bit down actually. I had a good day followed by a terrible night but enough bout that.

I recently just got my latest package and I decided to swatch my ELF blushes for you today.

L-R+T-B: Mellow Mauve, Pink Passion, Tickled Pink & Peachy Keen.

I've had the bottom two for a while now. I don't remember exactly when though.

E.L.F Studio Blush
The soft sheer texture blends into the skin for a silky finish. Designed to be worn alone or layered for more depth. Highlight your complexion with a subtle healthy glow!
Price: $3 USD

L-R : Pink Passion, Mellow Mauve, Tickled Pink & Peachy Keen [Left is blended out a bit, the swatch on the right is swatched twice]

Pink Passion:
Its a very bright pink. The texture is chalky and powdery. However, it is definitely pigmented. I would recommend just a tap of your brush for this blush. The wear for this blush is quite decent. It's matte.

Mellow Mauve:
I wouldn't call it a mauve actually. In the pan, it is a rosey mauve but when I swatched it, it was  a orangey mauve? If that makes any sense. It looks a bit mauvey but leans more to the orange side. This is also quite chalky actually but its a softer chalkiness to Pink passion. This one is on the sheer side and has tiny shimmers.

Tickled Pink:
This one is a corally pink. In the pan, it looks similar to mellow mauve, just a bit peachier. The swatches turn it a bit pinker. This one is a bit powdery but not as bad as the ones before. The wear is horrible though and its sheer. It only lasts about 2-4 hours on me and thats being a bit generous. This is a bit shimmery as well.

Peachy Keen:
I got this one because another blogger had said it was her favourite and I thought I would try it. This is a metallic looking orange/peach. This swatches well but on the face... its quite sheer and doesn't last that long. Its the most pore emphasizing  would say. I wouldn't suggest this for lighter skin tones.

These blushes are definitely not the best. They don't last as long as other blushes. Three out of Four of the ones I had were quite sheer as well so you'll have to build it up. For the price though, they are definitely worth a try. Especially if you're beginning to use blush and can't apply it as well since they are buildable and sheer.
I recommend: Tickled Pink for everyday and Pink Passion if you know how to apply is properly.

I’m back!

I apologise for the long absence. Life has been hectic and a lot has happened. I did write about my depression which was a factor at first but then life just got busy. I had exams, some family problems and then just writers block, or more like photographers block. I haven’t held a camera in my hands for ages and I got annoyed with my dslr since it didn’t focus properly and I didn’t have sufficient light. Summer/Spring in Melbourne has been a bit of a roller-coaster since we’ve had rain and mainly cloudy days. We’ve finally started to have sunshine again so I’ll hopefully be able to take photos now and practise some more!

I don’t have any reviews or hauls to talk about at the moment but I’m expecting some stuff in the mail soon and I will just do mass reviews during my summer holidays. Some posts to expect:

-MAC eyeshadows

-MAC paintpots

-Other palettes
-The rest of the fyrinnae eyeshadows
-My MSF collection
-My Lipsticks
-BLUSHES BLUSHES!
-Inglot
-ELF

And I suppose some posts about life and hopefully be able to do all this since I’m working these holidays and it’s a pretty tiring, hardcore job.

Please continue to support me=D

I've learnt how to watermark! + FOTD

There has been quite a lot of image stealing on the webs these days and any blogger should beware! People have been stealing images from beauty bloggers [from what I'm aware of] and posting them on say LUUX and claiming them as their own and gaining from it! it's an evil practice but we can't do anything about it except watermark our images.
I use Adobe Lightroom 3 to edit my images and I've also begun to watermark all my images. I will also do so before I post anything. I also finally got my camera! I've got a Canon 30D which is from 2006 but its still good and it looks so pro! I have to learn how to use it but hopefully my photography journey will be awesome and I will slowly learn how to handle and use my camera.
I got this camera from my dad after swapping from a Nikon to a Canon which my bf said was a bad idea because Nikons are better for sharper images. However, my bf has a canon and now I can ask him for help:)
This is my camera: Canon Eos 30D , Canon EOS 30D

Anyways, on to some photos:)
