Summer Blush ELF & NARS

E.L.F's Blush In Glow
Peach/ Gold 
Blush is something most of us use so we don't look like zombies when we have created the perfect base with our foundation. Blush is one of the things that you can get in all kind of shapes, forms, consistency and colors. I have a lot of different kind of blushes and I have to say that there a lot more out there that I wish I had just because they look so pretty. 

The other day I  had just put my foundation and was looking through my blushes to see which one I would like to wear. I have had this love hate relationship with the famous Orgasm from NARS, it's like some times I love the finish it gives on my cheek and other times I think it just looks like I blowed glitter all over my cheeks. So I was looking at my NARS blush when I saw that my E.L.F blush in Glow was right next to it. So I decided to take the E.LF one and I just fell in love with it right there when it hit my cheeks. It gave the most beautiful glow on my cheeks. I started using this blush everyday and it gave the same beautiful glow everyday, and then I started to think about my NARS blush that was right next to this one dollar blush. 

I think that they have some kind of similarities, but if you watch Emily Noels dupe blush video then she won't agree and it isn't completely a match, but I do think that they come to have a very look a like finish when you both apply them, just the thing that I like Glow every time I apply it, whereas I'm not always crazy about orgasm.

Peachy/Gold/Pinkish

Orgasm is a really beautiful blush sometimes I just think that there is way too much glitter in it, and it makes me look like a disco ball, which I don't like. Glow is really beautiful when you are a bit tan which means that it perfect for summer. I haven't done a review for neither of these blushes, but I'm sure of that when I have used up Glow from ELF then I will buy it again, where as when it comes to the NARS Orgasm then I'm not sure. Not only is it a lot of money for a blush (that last for a long time, but its still just a blush), but I don't like everytime I apply it. Sometimes I kind of wish I didn't apply it because all that comes of is just glitter. 

But thing is that sometimes you really shouldn't listen to the hype around products, and then on the other hand you should, because when I apply the NARS blush and it looks good then I love, because it also have this amazing glow when it doesn't only look like you applied glitter. All in all then I have to say that the ELF one for me at least gives the best glow, but if you a make upholic, but you don't have a lot of money to spend right now, then look into the ELF blushes because they are really good, and then if you get a bit more money later on and just really want to try the NARS Orgasm then do it, because when it looks good, then it looks damn good. 


Expensive doesn't always mean that it is the best product, that I think is awesome, have a good day :)

E.L.F Corrective Concealer


I have some redness on my cheeks which sometimes can be hard to cover with just foundation, because it just comes through so strongly. So I finally found a thing that could help me hide the redness that I have on my cheeks, the wonder that not everybody understands...The green concealer! 

I watch a lot of Youtube videos and I have heard a lot of people say that they didn't understand the green concealer or that you shouldn't because your foundation should cover that. The thing is your foundation isn't always covering it. I also have to say that the rest of my face is pretty clear and doesn't have a lot to cover so I don't want to walk around like I have 5 tons of make up on my face, because of my redness that I have on my cheeks... NO way! 

So I started to use Goshes green concealer which I bought about 3 times, because it did the job perfectly. Then I tried the one from Wet & Wild, which is cheaper and just as good as the one from Gosh so I of course switched to that one. Then I wanted to try the ELF one because they have a lot of good products for a good price. 

BUT this is not one of them. This corrective concealer is so thin and doesn't cover a thing. It doesn't have a good coverage at all, I know it's not supposed to be seen through your foundation so you look like somebody from Wicked, but it does have to cover the redness which it didn't. I also like to use this on blemishes if they get red then just cover them so the redness goes away and then you can hide the green with the foundation, but this isn't even able to do that. 



You weren't able to see it even had touch my skin, and as you can see then I have used a lot of the green, but it hasn't covered a thing. 

The rest of the colors that are in the this pallet are just as poor quality, it doesn't cover a thing either and they are corrective concealers, but they don't correct anything at all, so I know its fairly cheap, but then I rather spend a bit more money and then get a products that I don't have to use tons off and even when I use tons of it is still doesn't work. 

Not a product that I will buy again I can assure you, but luckily it wasn't a product that costed  a ton of money.  

I hope you all have a good day :)
