I placed a rather large order on eyeslipsface.com last Thursday & I got it in the mail today! I saw that they had new baked items from their Studio Line! So I got every new baked blush they had, 2 out of 3 of the bronzers, and only 1 of their new baked eyeshadows. I wanted to do a quick little opening/mini review of these!
All of these products are $3 each. However, I used a coupon and got 50% off so I only paid $1.50 per product. You should always google coupon codes for Elf before ordering!

Okay first up, the blushes! I was so excited to see these! When I saw them online they kind of reminded me of Mac's Mineralized Skin finishes. Here's what I think about each of these:
Pinktastic: This isn't really a blush -- but an awesome highlight. It's a very pretty glittery creamy/white color.
Passion Pink: A pinky color. Very very shimmery, but it's a very pretty coraly pink color.
Peachy Cheeky: I was most excited about this blush in particular. I actually like this blush the best out of the 4 personally. It's a very nice shimmery peachy color. Nicely pigmented. Love it!
Rich Rose: Probably the least pigmented out of the 4 blushes. I still do enjoy this blush (or of what I swatched of it anyway)! It's like a dark rosy/brownish pink color. Very pretty.
So all of these blushes are super shimmery. They all also have veining of multiple colors through them.
Next up, bronzers. I was pretty excited to test these out as well -- but I am a little disappointed with these.
St. Lucia: This doesn't do anything for me what-so-ever. It's not dark at all -- and it's not light enough to even be a highlight on myself. It may be a nice highlight for a tan/medium skin tone -- but definitely not a bronzer. I don't even think this could be a bronzer for pale skin!
Maui: This one is a little bit darker -- still not dark enough for a bronzer for me :( It's a very nice shimmer though. I may use these as highlighters once I get tan.
I probably should have gotten the darkest color of the bronzers, but I thought that it'd be too dark for my skin :(
Lastly, the eyeshadows.I only picked up one of these because I don't really like baked eyeshadows. They never seem to be as pigmented as I'd like them to be.
Bark: I was actually very surprised by this eyeshadow! I love it! It's very pigmented. I actually wore this one to work today over a Mac Paint Pot -- and it lasted all day without creasing & fading. I now want to get all of the other baked eyeshadows to try them out. I honestly thought these would be horrible -- but this specific shade (can't really speak for the other shades) is extremely pigmented & lovely.

So overall, I really like the blushes & eyeshadows. Not too much of a fan for the bronzers.. but I'm sure once I find a use to them, I will love them. They're nice and pretty colors -- but just not for my skin tone.
Have you guys tried out any of the new Elf products? I also got the Mineral Mist & a few other goodies -- i'll do a separate post on those if interested. But for now, it's rather late & I'm superrrrr tired :( Goodnight lovies!
