Elf Camo Liquid Blush Review

Elf Camo Liquid Blush Swatches and Review

Elf Camo Liquid Blushes are highly pigmented, creamy, blendable blushes that go for $7 each and come in 12 shades. They don’t dry down too fast or too much and can be applied with fingers or brushes, creating a noticeable flush with a hydrated-looking dew. Some of the shades have very fine shimmer that is only noticeable extremely close up. None of them have any large or noticeable sparkle. 

Elf Power Grip Matte Primer

Elf Power Grip Matte Primer Review

Elf Power Grip Matte Primer is the matte version of the original Elf Power Grip Primer. It is a clear gel foundation primer with a semi-tacky finish that helps to smooth the look of pores and texture when worn under foundation. The sticky feel is supposed to help “grab” onto foundation and make it wear longer while the matte formulation is supposed to help keep shine at bay throughout the day. There are two sizes available to purchase. The larger option is 0.87 oz for $10, and the smaller one is 0.5 oz for $5. Oddly, the smaller one is a better value.

Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Vinyl Swatches and Review

Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Vinyls are thick lip glosses in stick form that coat the lips quite heavily for a glassy, high-shine finish that smooths over the look of lip lines. This is not plumping formula but the thickness of the product has a plumping visual effect. There are 16 shades in total with sheer, opaque, and shimmery options, $26 each.

Milk Makeup Cooling Water Jelly Tint

Milk Makeup Cooling Water Jelly Tint Review

Milk Makeup Cooling Water Jelly Tint is a lip and cheek stain in a water-based jelly stick. It dries down quickly, feeling almost like nothing on the skin. It is not sticky at all and also does not feel moisturizing, hydrating or slippery. It feels like a “water stain” but instead of being liquidy, it has a giggly, gelatin-like texture. There are 4 bright, shimmer and sparkle free shades to choose from, $24 each.

Make Up For Ever HD Skin Setting Powder

Make Up For Ever HD Skin Setting Powder Review

Make Up For Ever HD Skin Setting Powder is a loose powder that is supposed to be blurring, mattifying, lightweight and undetectable, and it is boldly claimed to fight shine for 24 hours. There are two sizes available, a large 18 gram jar that includes a puff for $43, and a smaller 7 gram option that I believe also includes a puff, for $22. There are 12 shades, some of which are color correcting shades. At the time of this posting, Sephora carries only six of the shades. The full size jar and the rest of the shades can be found on Make Up For Ever’s website.
