ELF HD Blush in Diva

       

 The ELF HD BLUSH (Diva) I'm so loving this product from elf. It's super pigmented. It can also be used on the lips as well. It's a little bit dry though so don't forget to apply lip balm before applying this one. The pump can be a little tricky. It 's very hard to control the amount of product that you want to get. It usually comes out too much. (Bummer) It lasts on my oily/combo skin almost the whole day. It could also depend on the base that you used on your face which is the foundation. If you use a long lasting foundation, it'll pretty much last the whole day. It's really blendable. I usually use my fingers when I apply it. I do have to blend immediately right after I apply it 'cause it does dry fast. I purchased this from @thevanityzone on Instagram. They have tons of colors there to choose from. It's very affordable and worth the price. Kudos to elf for this product!

       

                                                Here's a swatch. It's in the color Diva.

                                                As you could see, it is highly pigmented.

                                                   That's just a small dot on my wrist.

Current Concealer: Hard Candy Glamoflauge Concealer

         

The Hard Candy Glamoflauge Concealer is the concealer that I've been currently using for half a year now. I ordered 3 of these concealers (2 medium, 1 light) The shade medium pretty much worked out for me. It has a yellow undertone. I gave the light one to my mom since her skin is quite fairer than mine. (& she loved it!) I've been eye-ing on this concealer for months when I saw it on youtube and finally, I was able to purchase it last year from @thevanityzone on Instagram. The price was PHP499. It also comes with a little pencil concealer. I'm on my 6th month of using this concealer and guess what... I haven't even finished the first tube tha I opened. This guy will last you a lifetime lol. A little of this bad boy goes a very long way. Plus, the coverage is crazy. Although, this concealer can get a little dry. Don't forget to apply your moisturizer and primer before applying this one. And don't forget to set it with a translucent powder so it won't crease on fine lines. It only comes in 4 shades. (Ultra light, Light, Medium & Tan) You can only purchase this concealer in online shops.

        

        

                                                          Here's a swatch in medium.

                                        You have to be careful with applying too much of this guy.

                                                 It can be too cakey once you apply too much.

Packaging: 4/5 It comes in a small tube form. It can get messy when you squeeze out too much product.

Coverage: 5/5 It's a medium to full coverage. Apply one thin layer at a time. I usually do 2 layers under my eye and set it with translucent powder so it won't crease.

Longevity: 3.5/5 It usually lasts me up to 5-7 hours. (I have oily/combo skin) I recommend to set it with powder that doesn't have any coverage so it won't cake up.

Overall Rating: 4/5 It can be a bit dry and it creases when not set. But over-all, it's good. It's worth the price.

TIPS:

- Sometimes I mix it with a little bit of my moisturizer until it forms into a foundation-like consistency. It works well that way too.

- I usually use a damp sponge to blend the product after I apply a few dots on my face with my fingers. 

- If you aren't sure what your shade would be, search reviews on youtube and look for someone who you think has the same skin tone as yours. That's what I do it whenever I purchase something online.

- Don't forget to moisturize and set the concealer!
