e.l.f. Powder Blush Palette

~Weekly Product Highlight~ e.l.f. Powder Blush Palette~

You need this in your life!  I am telling you, stop what you are doing and go get this e.l.f. Powder Blush Palette! Ok, maybe that is a little dramatic, but these blushes are really awesome!  They give the face such a beautifully pigmented glow!  I am so impressed with the quality of these blushes.

e.l.f. Powder Blush Palette | lookingjoligood.wordpress.comThey come in two different options: light and dark.  I have the light palette, but the dark one is so beautiful, I think eventually I may get that one as well.  For only $6 you get 4 beautiful different shades of blush.

Upside…each of the pans can be popped out. So if you want to rearrange or interchange the colors of this palette with one of their other palettes you can.  It can also be interchanged with the products from the e.l.f. Total Face Palette as well.

Downside… these shades are only offered together  in this palette and not sold individually.  While they do not have the exact shades sold separately, they do have some similar shades such as the Studio Pressed Mineral Blush in Jet Setter and Cabo Cabana; or the Studio Blush in Blushing Rose or Berry Merry.  Personally, I think the blushes from the palette are much better than the ones that are sold individually, imo.

I am going to be honest with you, the first time I applied this blush I wasn’t expecting it to be quite so pigmented and I may have ended up looking a little bit like a clown!  That is ok, I love me some blushed cheeks, haha! Since then, I have found that applying the blush not only with a very light hand but also by applying it with a stippling brush.  This gives me a much better, more natural look.
