Newest Beauty Buy: elf Studio Blush in Candid Coral

While shopping at Target the other day for something completely unrelated, I once again found myself in the cosmetics section of the store.  I was thrilled to find that they had an elf display--they seem to be hard to find where I'm from!

I had been reading a lot about elf's Studio Blushes, particularly a shade called "Candid Coral."  According to the blogosphere, Candid Coral is a close dupe for the ever-coveted NARS Orgasm shade.  Well, it was only $3 compared to the $26 I would have to shell out for an Orgasm compact, so I snatched it up!

I've only used it a few times, but I have to say that I'm super impressed!  The product is silky soft, and is a perfectly flattering shade for my skin tone.  It gives me a subtle flush that looks natural, but with the slightest bit of gold shimmer.  I don't own NARS Orgasm blush, but I imagine that this comes pretty close!

Also, the packaging for this product is unreal for only $3.  It's a hard, sleek black plastic that is sturdy and reliable.

For such an unbelievably low price, this is my new go-to blush!  I plan on picking up a few more shades to test out as well, and may deliver a full review with swatches when I have some more!


Have you used elf Studio Blush?  What do you think?  Which shade is your favorite?  Let me know in the comments!

    I love this one as well. My favorites are this one, Tickled Pink and the blush/bronzer duo.
    And I also want to try the baked blushes :)

      I've heard that the blush in the bronzer duo actually IS Candid Coral, but I could be mistaken! I really want to try Tickled Pink too, I've heard great things about it! :)

      They're definitely worth it, Katie! Mine is definitely better than any other powder blush I've ever bought, although I'll admit that I haven't tried out any high-end brands yet. I'll post again if I do! :)

      It's so nice, isn't it? :) I hope that someday I'll get to try NARS too, just to see how they compare!
