e.l.f is one of the cheapest brands I own, in fact the only brand I can think of that is cheaper is MUA, where the standard line is £1. However, as MUA proves, cheap doesn't always mean bad. With that in mind, I placed an order at the e.l.f website and shortly afterwards a lovely, satisfyingly large box arrived at my doorstep.

I don't normally go for loose powder blushes, I find them the be messy and overly pigmented so I end up with clown cheeks. Sexy, no? But for some reason I was drawn to this, I think it's because I really wanted to try a lilac blush, and a cheap one at that, so if I decided it looked horrendous it wouldn't be too much of a waste of money.

e.l.f describe the colour Joy as a mauve lilac, I'd say for the most part this is pretty accurate, however it is slightly pinker than the description gives it credit for. You don't need to be light-handed, but the pigmentation is in the realms of perfect, I would say even a bit on the sheer side, and if you do apply too much it blends out quite well.

I think e.l.f have done rather well on this one, and for the price, it's definitely worth at least considering getting if you're placing an order on their website.

My fave product from ELF is their duo bronzer and blush. It's the one thing I never leave the house without. :)
ReplyDeleteSo with you on this one. I'm a fair-skinned redhead and Joy is my favourite daytime blush of all time. It looks very natural on me, and like you I find the pigmentation just right - sheer enough to look natural, but pigmented enough to make a difference with a sweep.
