Tease ;)

So I recently got a mini elf haul, I ordered a few things alog with my mom and sister. I ordered my first ELF Studio cream blush in Tease. Let me just say, ELF impresses me more and more daily. There has yet to be a product from them that I have hated (and I own quite alot of elf). I wanted to wear the blush before I did a review on it. So yesterday I decided I would try it out. I used my stipple brush first as I have heard that being a good way to apply it. I only did a light coat with the brush when I decided I wanted to apply with my fingers for more of a controlled application. I couldn't decided if I should set it with a powder blush or a translucent powder so I ended up using both. I will probably be sticking to using the Elf studio translucent powder as I dont like the idea of covering it with another color.

 Also the only downfall to me is the size. As u can see in the picture compared to the cream eye shadow its HUGE. I wouldn't carry in around in my purse or anything as its too bulky.  But you do get alot of product.








Its not like cream at all, its more towards a mousse feel and ends with a smooth powder finish. I was wearing for about 11 hours before I washed my face and I could still see the color on my cheeks. Tease is a very nice light rose/pink natural color, I would imagine looking nice on almost anyone. I couldn't choose between Heart Breaker or Tease, but I did some research and decided Heart Breaker was a bit brighter pink and wanted to go for something a bit different. After trying one of these blushes tho, I will definitely be purchasing Heart Breaker on my next haul :)


















Do any of you use cream blush regularly? Let me know if you have tried any that are a must have!

My first NYX Blush

So today will be my first blog post that doesn't include an ELF product! Im going to be reviewing NYX blush in Pinched! I am pretty new to NYX, but I am already in love :)

NYX claims: Our pressed powder blush delivers sheer, silky color that glides on, blends beautifully and creates a natural glow. The formula is richly-pigmented and lasts for hours. Available in 27 shades.

This is one of my favorite blushes. The color is everything I want in a blush. Its a peachy pink color with some gold shimmer. Its easy build able and just leaves a wonderful pinkish glow on the cheeks. This being my first blush from NYX I am very happy with it, and definitely plan of buying more colors. Alot of people say that it is a dupe of Orgasm, I dont own orgasm but from what I have seen the colors are very close and it give you that great glow. I actually have quite a few Orgasm dupes that I will do in another post. 

But back to the blush, the only down fall to it is the package. I love how it looks withe the clear window so you can see the product and the black packaging. The down fall is how you open it. I don't know if its just me, or if i got a faulty one but I can not open it with my fingers or nails. I have to use like a screwdriver or something with a flat end. Unless I have something like that around me I wont be able to open it! 


Over all I rate this blush a 4/5. The color is beautiful, it applies easy and has great pigmentation. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 is because how difficult it is for me to open it.

I will try and update this soon with a better swatch, the light just wasn't working in my favor 

Do any of you own any of the NYX powder blushes? I would love to know what your favorite colors are because I definitely plan on buying some more and would like to hear your thoughts on them.
