I'm back and a review

Finally Im getting better. I never sick like this long, a week ! Which make me feel so stress and tired. Well seems nobody cares, lets continue with a review.
As I promise, a review about ELF Mineral Blush.


Rose, Bliss, Joy

ELF Mineral Blush is not so popular I think. At least from the spree that I join, mostly order the $1 stuffs. While me, never order or interested with ELF bcoz looks cheap and no quality. Yeah, can't judge a book by its cover, but I do believe people always tempted to buy something bcoz the cute or elegant packaging.
ELF Mineral blush interest me bcoz it's the cheapest mineral blush I have seen and they have pretty colors. Beside that, it said that no parabens, no chemical dyes and no preservatives so it's quite guarantee about the safety.
I got Rose, Bliss and Joy. All of them are pretty :)
Texture wise, it's smooth and blend nicely. However, if compare with La Femme blusher, they are not so pigmented. Joy and Bliss I think only can use for u who has fair to light skin tone.
Me myself needs to swipe several times until the color appears.


Joy, Bliss and Rose

Rose has the darkest color, so u can see the color appear easily. Joy is sweet pink, Bliss is peach and Rose is dark pink. All of them have shimmers, but still acceptable.
Two days ago, I put Joy after MAC Powder Blush in Fleur Power, but I didn't see any difference as I thought it could give me a nice glow.
Overall, I like it, 3.5 out of 5.
Repurchase ? No. I prefer to get another mineral blusher.
I hope my review gonna help u.
Bye.

Last haul before I went back home =)

Yeah, my last package that I received exactly on the day I went back to Indonesia. I was worried for a whole week. I could not track from post Malaysia and when I went to the office center, they said they could not find it. I was hopeless.
To my surprise, when I went to my house in M'sia to take my luggage, I saw the package on my table !



That's what I got, quite a lot huh ? ;)
I got :
ELF Studio bronzer in Warm
ELF Studio bronzer in Golden
ELF Mineral blush in Rose
ELF Mineral blush in Joy
ELF Mineral blush in Bliss
NYX Lipstick in Twig
NYX Lipstick in Cocoa
NYX Lipstick in Aphrodite
NYX Lipstick in Champagne
La Femme blusher in Cyrstal Cafe
La Femme blusher in Framboeisia

It was my first time purchased ELF makeup, before this I only had the Studio powder blush that I decided to sell it. Maybe u will say that I'm stupid to sell that very nice brush, well I just have too many =p
So far I only tried the Mineral blush in Rose, no break out, long lasting and quite pigmented. It said that no parabens, no preservatives and no chemical dyes. I found that ELF is made in China, maybe that's the reason why the price is very cheap. However, I'm only interested to get the studio and mineral line. The $1, for me look like crap.
Btw, the ELF Studio bronzer is huge ! Bigger than Jane bronzer, which contained 12 gr. I have yet tried it, but it has shimmer, both of them. Too bad as I was looking for matte one.
While for La Femme, I love Framboiesia, fuchsia with shimmer. The brightest blusher I ever had I think. It looks scary, but it's so pretty once I tried it =)
And once again, I am disappointed with NYX Lipstick, Champagne and Aphrodite looked so ugly on me. Muddy lips or got poison, that's what I think when I saw my lips in the mirror. Scary.
Maybe I will use it for shading, if it works well.
Is there anyone can recommend me nude lipstick ?
