I purchased this blush for $2 off the ELF website since ELF is not available in Canada. This is a lovely baby pink for fair skinned people. It's not overly pigmented and not overly buildable so it may not show up well on darker tone skins unfortuntly. Here's my thoughts on this product
Pros
-beautiful colour does not turn orangy throughout day
-amazing price
-applies very nice
-gives cheeks a perfect rosey flush
Cons
-not very pigmented
-very powdery so you tend to have a lot of fallout
-packaging contains a brush which really is pointless and waste of space
-didn't last entire day (but for $2 you can more the afford to reapply throughout day)
Overall great blush definitely will repurchase. It's a great everyday colour for light skinned people. I removed a lipstick based on lack of pigmentation and waste of packaging by adding the useless brush.
Oh and I'm not sure why the complaints on packaging size the blush I received is a fair size and contains a good amount of product. Maybe ELF recently changed the packaging then cause it looks nothing like the product picture for this review.

Pretty blush. 'Shy' is a soft, pale baby-pink shade, which goes on with the tiniest hint of shimmer and gives a really subtle wash of colour. Because it's such a gentle tone, I think it'd work well with many different combinations of eye and lip colours. I love using this for a really natural, 'no makeup' look.

I'm very pale so I love the fact I don't have to worry about being heavy-handed with 'Shy' (impossible as the colour is so muted) and I love the subtle glow I get wearing this, but I'm not sure how well it would show up on darker skin tones.

You don't get much product in the box, but I don't mind that since it's really cheap at only £1.50 and I really like the blush. I do find the texture rather chalky, but it looks fine once it's actually on the skin. Yes to a re-purchase!

The product itself is good, but the packaging is so small you can't even get enough product on your brush.

Too powdery, packaging is awful. But the colour is really nice.

DUPE ALERT: this is a veryy close runner up for Mac's famous Well Dressed blush. Its slightly less pigmented but definetly the same shade, I think its closer than the more raved L'oreal true match in Baby Blossom--that one is a bit shimmery instead. Its a soft pink that shows up on my NW25 skin & my sister of NW35--she needs to layer it on but it shows up beautifully.It is chalky so beware..

I really like the color for everyday wear, very natural and looks very pretty:)

although its contents are very few and very powdery but never mind, because the price is very cheap

This is the first blush I really like!

The colour is perfect for my fair skin, and it is buildable if you want to go for a stronger pink tone.

Easy to blend, goes on smootly.

Looks very natural on my skin tone and would suit darker ones as well, I think.

Unbeatable price :-)

However, it is a bit chalky and I find it doesn't last so long on my skin.

Still very good for the price.

This is a really nice blusher for all of you wanting to save a few quid, however I have only given this 3 as it isn't the best in the world. For the cheap cheap price its good ut for my skin it is so hard to work with. The packaging is simple and cute, which i personally prefer aswell. I have difficult extremely light skin and tryin to blend this in is slightly a nightmare. Too dark for me n very chalky but will be good for others :)

I love this color! This is one of my go to blushes. It is a pink color with a slight shimmer in it that looks great on my skin. It looks very natural. Sometimes it can be a little too pink for what I feel like for the day. Then I use a different e.l.f. blush color. E.l.f. blushes are all I use right now and the quality for the price is unbeatable. My only complaint about these blushes are that they can get messy. Dab the brush onto the blush causes a powdery mess so you have to be slow and careful. I recently purchased some of their studio line blushes for $3 and they are of higher quality. They do not get everywhere and are silky smooth! But since they don't carry the same colors, I will repurchase these blushes when I use them all up!

Excellent blush for it's price. Love the light color for that natural looking flush. Beware: The packaging is a little flimsy.

I like this for midday touch ups. It's about the same color as Benefit's Dandelion powder so you can be pretty heavy handed with it and still have a little bit of low-key color. The packaging is crap but conveniently small, and it's only a dollar so it's ideal for me to throw in my bag and not have to worry/care about it breaking. I would repurchase.

The packaging is small (but more than a bucks worth) and for some reason in the morning before I've had coffee I struggle to get it open. It's also a bit messy, but I LOVE the color and if it's the only blush I ever buy again, I'd be okay with that.

This is a nice pale pink blusher with shimmer. This shows up pretty well and is nice for a subtle glow. The only beef I have with this is it's just sooo small. For a dollar it's not a huge setback but honestly it's so tiny it's smaller than a single Maybelline eyeshadow. I will still buy again but it would be nice if elf made their blushers bigger. Then I would be very happy :)

It's a cute pink color, but hard to apply due to the size of the pan (hella small), and it's kind of chalky. ELFs studio line blushes are far better.

Very tiny product! Can easily fit into a wallet, that's how small it is. It's not a bad product, and although they claim big bang for one dollar, it can lack at times. But in all honesty, it doesn't bother me at all. The shade is perfect for my fair skin, and it is pale, so you might need to apply it more than once for it to show up. It can be chalky in terms of texture, and we all know chalky means dusty. The packaging is terribly cheap, it breaks easily. For that reason, don't be surprised if you pull it out of your make-up bag, and it's filled with pink dust in the case. It's not compacted well. But so far aside from the dust, the actual tin hasn't broke.
