I'm recently in a blush phase. The blushes are so nice. For a natural looks, I tend to reach for Coral as it shows up as a peachy color on my skin that is not overdone. But I can still build it up. My least favorite would be Peachy Keen as it doesn't show up that well on my skin. My favorite would be Candid Coral. It's more of a pink one than a peachy tone. It gives me a natural glow and makes me look alert.
Top (L-R): Studio Blushes in Mellow Mauve, Berry Merry, Peachy Keen, Candid Coral.

Next up are my face products. I love the tinted moisturizers. They have light coverage. For days when I like lighter coverage, I use it by itself. Other times, I will use it as a base and use concealer and powder. The Mineral Face Primer makes my skin feel so soft and smooth. But a little goes a long way. Once, I accidentally used a bit too much and it made my face into a greaseball. The shimmering facial whip is nice too. I like how it is multi-functional and it makes a nice highlighter. But the formula separates. When you squeeze it, a clear liquid sprays out first. And I don't like the smell.
(L to R): Shimmering Facial Whip in Citrus, Tinted Moisturizer in SPF 15 in Rosey Beige, Tinted Moisturizer in SPF 15 in Light Beige, Tone Correcting Concealer in Rosey Beige, Mineral face Primer
Swatches in correct order as above.
I encountered a few misses in the eye products. The regular line is like a wild card. If you're lucky, the product may work for you.
Top (L to R): Duo Eye Shadow Creams in Sugar Cookie and Eggplant
Bottom (Lto R): Mineral Eye Primer, Brightening Eye Color in Silver Lining, Mineral Eye Shadows in Socialite and Royal
Swatches: Mineral Eye Primer, Duo Eye Shadow Creams in Sugar Cookie and Eggplant, Brightening Eye Color in Silver Lining, Mineral Eye Shadows in Socialite and Royal
As you can see in the swatches, the colors in the shadow creams are so similar. The yellow in Sugar Cookie ha some glitter. These are okay as shadow bases. I don't wear these alone. Next up is Silver Lining. Three of four of the colors have good pigmentation (especially that grayish blue!). The color that caught my eye on the website was the pinkish purple and that was a disappointment. I love the mineral eyeshadows. You don't need a lot for it to show up. The color is not matte, it has a bit of shimmer which I like. The mineral eye primer is NICE! To me, it looked like a concealer but it blends into a clear film. It does what it suppose to do. The lip products are like the eye products, also wild cards.
(L to R): Candy Shop Lip Gloss in Melon Mayhem, Super Glossy Lip Shine SPF 15 in Watermelon, Mineral Lip Stick in Nicely Nude
Swatches are in the same order as above.
The candy shop gloss is ehh for me. I don't like actually glitters in my lip products. It makes the texture kind of gritty. And I like some color in my lip glosses. I can't complain though as I got this as a free gift from ELF. Next is the lip shine in Watermelon. I love the pigmentation. It goes sheer with a good amount of pigmentation on my lips. The only thing I dont' like is the smell. It smells cheap (I know it is cheap, but cheap as in a plastic way). I LOVE the mineral lip stick. It is a beautiful shade of pink. It goes on smooth and doesn't dry my lips. And it doesn't accentuate any dry skin.
(L to R): Corrective Concealer, Golden Bronzer in Golden, Complexion Perfection
I like (not love) the palettes. The Complexion Perfection seals in my foundation and minimizes shine. The concealer is nice too, but I found better. The bronzer is awesome! I don't really wear bronzers but this gives me a healthy glow.
Studio 27 piece mini makeup collection
I love this palette. It's portable and has lots of different eyeshadow and lip shades in one box. I got this for free a while ago when they had a promotion. The only thing I don't like is the eyeliner. It tugs on my eyelid. The brushes are flimsy and I threw them away.
Eyeshadow swatches
Top row are the blush and the bonzer.
Bottom row is the eyebrow powder.
I LOVE the blush. It is so pigmented. It reminds me of the Nars Orgasm blush. I don't have that so I can't compare them together but I swatched it in Sephora. This blush is pink with gold shimmers. So pretty!!!
Lip swatches.
I LOVE these too. I love all of the shades. They are so creamy and pigmented.
