I was recently sent e.l.f’s Studio blush in Tickled Pink.   Personally, I never tried e.l.f’s cosmetics, so I was super excited to try it out.  Earlier this year, I did review e.l.f’s Studio brush line and found them to be fairly decent.  Let’s see if e.l.f’s Studio blush in Tickled Pink will be a hit in my book…

e.l.f’s online description of their Studio blushes:  The soft sheer texture blends into the skin for a silky finish. Designed to be worn alone or layered for more depth. Highlight your complexion with a subtle healthy glow!

Approx. Price: $3

Where to Purchase? e.l.f

Priced at $3, this blush is definitely a steal! Jump for the review.

Can you see this swatch? Because I can’t!

The Bottom Line: Skip this blush!  In the pan, Tickled Pink blush looks like a peachy pink with hints of gold glimmer.  It actually does remind me of the famed NARS Orgasm.  I have to admit that the sleek black packaging is cute.   There is a mirror embedded into inside the lid, which is perfect for on the go application.  However, what’s the point of having a mirror when the blush does not include a brush?

At first glance, Tickled Pink looks extremely pigmented.  Unfortunately, it is not.  Tickled Pink is very sheer, so sheer that I literally had to dig my blush brush into the pan about four times to get that swatch above!  On top of that, I had to dig about five or six times into this blush to get some sort of color on my NC37 complexion.  Seriously, a blush should not take this much work!   Aside from the poor pigmentation,  Tickled Pink is chalky and gives off a matte finish.

Budget beauties, if you’re looking for an inexpensive blush with high color impact, go with NYX.
