What I liked:
- Blends easily
- Natural finish
- Slight shimmer
- The price
What I didn’t like:
- Not long-lasting
- The size, it’s too small, can’t get brush into it
- The packaging
I’m not a big fan of powder blushes, I prefer the cream ones as I find they’re easier to apply. But this one is very cheap, so I thought I’d give it a try. The blush is available in 6 shades, I got Innocence, which is a very light pink color.
The blush is very small, almost the size of a tester, and I couldn’t get my blush brush into it as it was too big for the container. I had to apply it with my contour brush, which worked very well. The blush is very easy to blend. However, Innocence is such a light color that it barely looks like I’m wearing anything at all. I’ve had to apply quite a lot of product before I could see any difference on my cheeks. The blush gives a nice natural looking glow and the slight shimmer is great.
The staying power isn’t great. The blush starts fading after a few hours and needs to be reapplied throughout the day.
The packaging is quite cheap and very clunky. You need to be very careful with it as it breaks easily.
Summary:
Overall, this is not the best blush I’ve ever used, but for the money, it does the job fine. It is easy to blend and gives a natural finish with a slight shimmer. However, it is not long-lasting and the container is small and cheap.

i have this in glow.
i love the color, but you’re right, it doesn’t stay.
i thought it’s really inexpensive so i bought it. the packaging isn’t that great. a week or two after the whole thing broke and the powder fell off.
but, what do we except for something really inexpensive right?
I’m glad to see this review, because I’ve been curious about Elf’s blushes. Thanks!
Sab: I have to say I expected this to be a lot worse, especially after I saw how small it was. It is a lovely color and I really like the natural glow it gives. It’s a shame about the staying power and the packaging though. I’m sorry yours broke, I’ve been very close to breaking mine too a few times lol.
Alyssa: You’re welcome, Alyssa. I’m glad you enjoyed the review
Thanks for the review, I have been looking at the ELF blush for 2 weeks now..lol what’s stopping me is that I’m not sure if it stays or not…so thanks for this review..with the price they sell here, I can easily go for other brands and see which one works better
Thanks for the review. I’ve heard a lot of peeps saying that this is an alright product. But I guess for the price, you can’t really expect anymore than that. I’m still weighing on if i should order from them though….some bloggers said that they always receive less than what they ordered.
Nikki: you’re welcome. This definitely doesn’t stay so if you can find something that works better for the same price, then go for it. How much do they sell it for over there?
Cinthia: you’re welcome too, Cinthia. This is an ok product, esp considered the price. I have received everything I ordered, although the parcel took more than a week to arrive, instead of the 3-5 days as stated on their website. I’m sorry some people got less stuff than they ordered, I hope they got a refund or something.
