e.l.f Baked Blush Review

This was part of an order I did a few months ago from ELF. I hadn't used a baked blush before and I thought this looked beautiful.

In its pan, this looks like a peach coloured dome with bronze veining. It appears quite shimmery. When I first used this I was rather annoyed because it seems to have a kind of hard overspray which means you can't get a lot of product on your brush. I found that by running your finger over it repeatedly this wears the overspray down and you're good to go.

This is a stunning peach colour that is subtle. It has a shimmery finish to it, so if you like matte blushes - then skip this. However, if you like your blush to have a glow and shimmer to it then this is right up your alley.

As well as using this as a blush, I like to apply it lightly as a highlight. Because the peach isn't super pigmented unless you build it up, you can get away with using this as a highlight. It gives your face a little warmth and the sheen looks amazing. I have also used this as a natural looking eyeshadow with no problems.

I would definitely recommend this and I will repurchase it once I have used it all up. You get a lot of product in this so I imagine it is going to take me a long time to get through this.

I bought one of these blushers off iHerb a while ago and thought it was utter crap, there was no pigmentation, no product really getting on the brush and i was really disappointed that it wasn't living up to the raving reviews. After a while it was shifted to the back of the drawer and forgotten about.

A few weeks ago i commented on a blush my friend was wearing and she told me it was the same shade i had, i asked her how she had applied it because i couldnt get any on my brush and she said she really hadnt had much luck with it untill she had used it quite a few times.

I went home and swirled my brush over it for about 2-3 minutes untill i could see some powder showing up on my brush. You really need to work past that initial surface crust before youll get any good colour pay off out of this, After the surface crust is out of the way i fell in LOVE with this blush and plan to buy a few other shades.

I first purchased a elf baked blush last year and now I don't know where I'd be without them! I own all four colours and I am praying that elf release some more.

The colours are bright and long-lasting both day and night. There is also a beautiful shimmer in the product which helps highlight the face perfectly. If you are looking for a matte blush, don't come near these.

I honestly recommend these colours to everyone :)

I only had one blush and wanted to try some more, so I added Peachy Cheeky to my iHerb order. Really glad I did. Wish they had more colours on there!

The packaging is good, just a nice pan. The blush is a nice light peachy pink. It's not hugely pigmented but that's ok, its very buildable. (I'm pretty fair though, darker skin tones it might work better as just a highlight.)

I love the shimmer - I have used it as a highlight with my other blushes as well (slowly building a collection now)

For the price I think this blush is amazing!

I Have the Peachy Cheeky one and its devine! i am incredible happy with this product, they are super super pigmented so use a light hand otherwise youll apply way too much. I love how it has gold shimmers through it but it doesnt come off glittery or chunky it just adds a nice sheen to your face, also nice as a highlight :) They are very buttery in consistency and blend out very well. Defiantly worth the price!

I loooooove peachy coloured blusher so had to buy this when I saw it. Unfortunately it's not my most favourite ever because it's a tad too shimmery and I don't find the pigment that great unless you build and build which results in more and more shimmer. I think I'm too old for that much shimmer :( That being said I do still use it as a very subtle highlighter over my non-shimmery peach blusher. If you were born to shimmer and shine this will be your thing :)

I think this is such a gorgeous little find, so cheap (Personally got mine from beautyjoint) and is almost like a highlighter. I use the colour cheeky peachy-which is a gorgeous light peach type of shade. Yes it has a shimmer, which i love because doubles as a highlight. If yu aren't into shimmer, you wont love that side of it. But this really is gorgeous-I dont often repurchase things but ill def repurchase this. Not too harsh like some Blush

I got the colour peachy cheeky a while ago when the rave reviews were flying around for this blush but after using it lots I dont share the same sentiments as those who rave about it.

Firstly its labelled as a blush and it shouldnt be. Its not pigmented enough to be a blush and its sparkly as hell. Its looks like you've been attacked by glitter fairies if you wear this as a blush! Secondly the lasting power is not that of a blush. I apply it and literary watch it blow off my face.

So I dont use it as a blush but rather as a top over a matte blush and will use only the tiniest amount. When using this on top of a blush it gives your cheeks a glow but without all the sparkle. I only wear this at night when I want more than a highlighter and I want my cheeks to pop out.

I plan to use this until Ive finished it but will not be repurchasing as I dont see why I really need. I could use blush with a bit of shimmer and then add one of my favourite highlighters to my cheekbones and it would give the same effect but just better.

For people on a budget this "blush" would be right up your alley to use as a highlighter if your cant see yourself investing in high end products but dont be fooled that its really a blush because its not.

I purchased this online as a 'filler' blush because I knew I'd be travelling and wanted to buy something in Aussie.

The e.l.f. range has a lot going for it, in my opinion. It's inexpensive, readily available online and in Kmart, and there are some amazing hidden gem products in the range. The baked blush, for me, is not a hidden gem.

The blush comes packaged ina more éxpensive'looking way than I expected for the $5 I paid for it. It was boxed, in a modern black box. The casing is cheap, but adequate, with a black base and clear dome lid with only the company logo and product name on top, allowing you to see the product clearly. On the back is a tiny label with the name of the shade. I have this product in 'Passion Pink'.

The blush itself is a slightly elevated dome shape, and a very pretty mix of bronze and rose. It has the typical 'baked' lustre and a nice shimmer in the case.

This is where the issue comes in. This blush just doesn't want to get on my brushes. I've tried it with a few different ones and it's just not interested. In frustration, I wiped the blush itself on my cheekbones, and it transferred to my face well when done that way and blended out with the blush brush, but this isn't ideal!

When I DID manage to get it on my skin, the colour was pretty, shimmery, and more of a tinted highlighter than a blush, per se - but when rubbed straight onto the skin without a brush can build strongly. It wears okay, if you've managed to build up decent colour, but if not it's barely noticeable.

I've thrown this in my gym bag to use then, because I've since purchased a better blush. I'm not hugely disappointed because it was so cheap and it is useable, technically, but not ideal. I'm hoping that once the top layer is gone the rest will loosen up
