Review: Everlasting Face Shaper Blush by Kat Von D

Hello, Lovelies
Today I'm bringing you a review from one of my favorite brands sold at Sephora: Kat Von D.
I have quite a few pieces from her line but this is the first time trying her semi-new blush.
I bought the blush knowing I'd love it because, Kat offers high quality product at a reasonable price. As well as that fact that I just LOVE her.
I've been a fan of Kat since her days on Miami Ink, I feel in love with her art. She is a very talented artist. If you don't even like tattoos you'll still appreciate her artwork. Everything Kat creates she does from the heart whether it be tattooing, drawing, music or makeup.
She just knows what shes doing.
I was lucky enough to meet her once 2 years ago, She was very sweet! A very kind soul.
 
On to the Blush...

I bought the color "Truth" which Sephora calls a "natural flush pink", I'd call it a deep rose with a hint of a dark mauve. Which I think looks very nice of olive to dark skin tones.
 The packaging is also very pretty. I love the rose art! So nice. I also like how it's not a rubber finish so everything in your makeup bag doesn't stick to it like how Nars products do.
 
 
 
Another plus to this blush over a cult favorite like Nars is that the cost is $4.00 cheaper and you get 0.25oz and in Nars blush you only get 0.16oz. So overall a better deal, I recommend next time you're at Sephora stop by the Kat Von D isle and give the blush a go. One other thing Id like to note about her makeup line is that alot of different people and ages can rock it. She carrys brights and neutrals. My Mom has a neutral palette of hers and loves it.

Pros:

Highly Pigmented

Cons:

Only sold at Sephora, So if your outside of the US you'll have to try Ebay :(

Would You recommend?
Yes, I would. If you like wearing blush you'll love this line.

Elf Cosmetics Baked Blush & Bronzer

Hello, Lovelies
 
 
Recently I was window shopping on the Internet. Just browsing and seeing what new makeup was out their. I thought I'd take a look at Elf and see what they had because I hadn't looked at their site in a good while. I found that they know have a baked line that includes blush,bronzer & eyeshadow. 4 blush colors and 3 bronzer and all at the wonderful price of $3.00 which you can't beat anywhere.
 
I have really enjoyed their studio blush/bronzer quads in the past so I thought I'd give these a go and see how I liked them.
 
They arrived today and the colors are very nice. You get a lot of product. But they are a little bit chalky compared to their other blush/bronzer quads. They are okay on pigmentation. I'd prefer more pigmentation but for $3 dollars not bad. I do feel like you can build on the product if you like a deeper color.
 
 
 
 
 
The bronzer I bought is in the color "St. Lucia". It's a bit on the yellow-ish brown side, so I think it might look nicer in the summer with a bit more of a tan.

 
As for the blush it's a very nice pink. No glitter which I prefer for the most part. It is satin shimmer. Which I like best. So if you don't like glitter but don't want a matte color you might like this.

 
In this picture you can see them swatched on my hand.
 
 
Pros:

100% cruelty-free
 Affordable
Cons:
Pigmentation
Would You recommend?
Yes, I would. These would be great for beginners or someone who doesn't want to spend money on a high end blush like Nars.
Rating:
 4 stars ★★★★
 
 
Are you an ELF fan? I'd love to hear what products of theirs you love in the comments below.
