I really enjoy e.l.f.'s one dollar blushes, the colors are way more unique than the ones from the studio line.
Flushed is a beautiful reddish pink that looks so flattering on my NW15 skin. It is somewhat similar to Berry merry and Blushing Rose from the studio line or Sleek's pomegranate but Flushed is still a lot more pink, almost fuchsia pink. I don't own anything like it and I would definitely repurchase. There's no visible shimmer in it (but there probably is some like with all e.l.f. blushes). The pigmentation is quite good (better than the other blushes from the essential line), I think it would easily show up on darker skin. The container does feel extremely cheap but the one dollar blushes did recently get repackaged (and the price increased to 2 dollars) so I can't wait to buy it in its new version.

Would definitely not repurchase this product. Blush did not last throughout the entire day. Even though I should say that the color is really suitable for my medium toned skin. The packaging sucks and it breaks and crumples easily. Lasted only a couple of weeks in my make up bag

This little blush is very pigmented. When applied lightly, it gives my tan/olive skintone a very nice flush of pink. You could also build it up, if you like the bright pink, "dolly" cheeks look. It's very pretty; I find myself reaching for it quite often. Yes, the packaging is a little "different" - but let's get serious... IT'S A $1 BLUSH! I actually appreciate how compact the packaging is, it's easily portable in my little purse without taking up much room at all. I do find that this blush tends to fade out through the day, so I do require touch ups now and then.

This is so pretty! Yes, you have to overlook the packaging, but for $1 who cares? Flushed gives me such a gorgeous, glowy rush of color on my cheeks, like being in love or taking a walk in the snow. Seriously, I have blushes that cost 10 times as much that don't do for me what this does. So now I have 3 of them, and I rarely buy backups. Just get some already.

I really like E.L.F.'s Natural Radiance Blushes and i love this colour, it doesn't look as brigh on my skin as it looks on the package.
However, to me, there are two negative aspects about this product: it doesn't last more than 3 hours on my skin (without a fixer) and i really dislike the package. I actually broke the package and had to change the blush into another package.

But, despite that, and attending to the price and the lovely colour of the product, i think i will buy this again.

On me, this blush is a bright dolly pink. I find it to be very pigmented once applied to the cheeks, although as mentioned in the previous review it is a little dusty. The only other negative I have for this product is that it took me literally about 15 mins to figure out how to get the packaging open, so I now keep it half open as it was so frustrating. The positives far outweigh the negatives though. Don't let the price put you off by thinking 'cheap price cheap product', because for me, this wasn't the case at all.

i agree with the packaging. It took a few minutes to figure out how to open it up. The blush itself is very pretty. It looks good on my NW20 skin. After eight hours here at work it's still going strong. considering the price, this is a great bargain, crappy packaging or no.

Let me get this out of the way. The packaging for this blush is HORRENDOUS! It's absolutely atrocious. The first thing I do when I buy this is to depot it... Well, what I do is I take an empty mineral container with a sifter and crack up the blush and pour it in. That way, I can use it as a mineral and not worry about the ridiculous drawer design. Seriously elf... what is that all about?

So on with the product. I have this in flushed and glow and both colors are stunning. They are slightly shimmery but nothing really crazy. I find it gives you a nice glow without being overpowering. I find that with flushed you need more of a lighter hand because it is so pigmented. But the color gives you that I-just-went-out-in-the-snow look which I adore.

Aside from the packaging which would get a zero from me if possible, I give this two thumbs up!!

OMG! one of my favorite blushes! I think this blush will def look great on all skin tones- i have extremely pale, vampire skin & this used light handed looks gorg but its pigmented that EVERYONE can rock it!
=PRICE/AVAILABLITY=
FLUSHED can be found in the Elf Essential line under face section in blushes. This blush will only cost you 100 pennies or $1!!! omg 1 dollar, yes! so i can buy a ton of these for nearly nothing. You can find these at eyeslipsface site or also some shades at Target stores. it will depend on location. This shade is the darkest of all the $1 blushes!
=SHADE/FORMULA/PERFORMANCE=
"Flushed" is a very pigmented fuschia plum pink blush. The pictures do show the true color. But dont be wary pale girls! Im very pale and if u use a duo fiber brush (even walmart or target makes great cheap ones) this color is beautiful! Now i was afraid at 1st but with a very light touch, it so pretty. Not a subtle color (try their $1 blush in glow, shy, innocence, coy, theyre all so pretty with my fair skin) this is def the darkest for their $1 blush but i see it working for anyone. I love the $1 blushes, i think the formula is far better than their $3 studio blushes. The formula is soft, creamy butter smooth, no chalkiness. The blushes apply great w/ any brush, blend out beautifully. The blush is one of my fav. Their so nice & easy to put on. Flushed is a great color all year round esp i think when you are going simple & neutral on the eyes & lips & want some more pizazz. This adds a gret flushed color on the cheeks., Can be sheered out or built up for more intensity. Versatile. Crazy theyre only $1 & i reach for the $1 blushes so often that my other million blushes barely get used sometimes. & these blushes stay put for hours. I typically use cream blushes daily & top w/ powder blush & this will stay put for over 9 hrs w/ little to no fading at all. So its great!
=PACKAGING=
These Natural Radiance Blushers come in a drawer like container thats see thru plastic thats sturdy enough for traveling or handling. The Elf Logo/blush logo is on the top lid w/ metallic writing. The bottom drawer/pan is where the blush is located. On the bottom of blush is where the shade name is located on a sticker. Its big enough that you can read clearly. The container is is easy to open if you figure it out (i couldnt at first ill admit) but you slide it open like you would your dresser drawer. you slide it open by holding the bottom & guiding it slightly open w/ finger. Its easy to open & close. There is a great amount of blush esp since a tiny tap is needed for application so it will last forever. Simple, effective & cute packaging but whats inside is what counts & its amazing!
Overall, Flushed is def a favorite blush of mine & i own alot. Its so gorgeous sheer or built up. Its so pretty & i love how soft the blush is & how easy the blushes are to blend. Wonderful. if you arent a fan so much of Elf Studio Blushes, give these a shot esp Flushed. i find them to be better in formula & staying power!

The packaging for their blushes are either fine or total crap.

This color is a bright one, so start with a little product and build, or you might end up looking like you're blushing (and not in the cute way). Like all ELF powder products, they're very powdering so don't get crazy with your brush. Barely tapping it into the product works just fine.

Good color if you build instead of just diving right into it. Definitely goes on to match what's in the pan.

I wanted to try a new bright color for once, and when I saw this I decided to try it.
It is straight out like a pink purple, really really pigmented.
I find it hard to apply just becus I have be really careful how hard I press my brush on the pan.
It looks chalky sometimes and sometimes it gives me bumps.
& the packaging is sosososo bad :/
I gave up on it eventually, in the bin it goess

This is quite small, almost half the size of a ELF studio blush but I do like this color. It is very pigmented but it isn't pressed good enough so it is a little bit dusty. The color is a very nice light berry color with a hint of golden shimmers. Thumbs up <3

The color's a little heavy for my skin tone. I've used it
for night's out!


Shy is a better color to create the natural flush look.

this is a really deep colour, definetly good if youre going for a very flushed look!,not as pigmented as coy or glow but for the price what would you expect. not sure if id buy it again tho as the colour isnt an everyday look id want to achieve.

This is my wild blush, on my fair skin it's very bright. And yes, it intimidates me on certain mornings. It's a nice shade though, highly pigmented compared to "glow" and "shy". For me personally, I find it hard to wear with most my eyeshadows, etc. It can be overpowering, so it's best alone unless you have darker skin. Like my other reviews, the packaging is cheap, small, and flimsy. The tin isn't compacted well, so it should be handled with care.

To depict the size, it's so tiny it can fit in a man's wallet.
