Hi, my lovely readers! It has been almost a month since I last reviewed a beauty product, and I surely miss it!

Today, I want to share this awesome find from e.l.f. Cosmetics. I love most of the products I bought from e.l.f., and my most worn are the blushes. I decided to give them to my mom though, because I am running out of space! 😛

Here are some details about this product:

From e.l.f. website:

OVERALL
I love this product because it is affordable and highly pigmented. I will wear it as base for my blush and bronzer to prolong their wear. It will surely take some time before I can finish up all the product inside. This is a nice addition to my collection and a cheap alternative to high-end brand blush and bronzing creams.
RECOMMEND? YES!
PURCHASE AGAIN?
YES!
P.S. I kind of changed the format of my review. I think it looks more readable and formal? Teehee.
Hope you liked my review, and let me know your thoughts.
Have you tried this product yet?
Take care!
