Many say that Pink Passion is a great dupe for the famous MAC Pink Swoon. Actually, this is the main reason i bought this hehehe. I do not have MAC pink swoon so until now so i can not compare it, but today i will cover a review on this blush.

Price : 90000 in online shop and $3 in ELF webstore

The packaging is black doff. Look professional and have this “small window” where i can see the color inside. The packaging is very easy to get dirty and such a pain to clean it off.

It is a bubblegum candy, a barbie kind of blush. A medium pink. The texture is hard, and got a lot of fall out >.< Be sure to tap the excess because though the color looks tame on the pan, it is very easy to overdo this. Well, the other side of a good pigmentation.

It stays for around 4 hours, and this blush somehow oxidise on me.

And…

My fotd using this blush on! Yeahhh… hahaha i was preparing my research paper and i had to staple a lot, so i came up with this funny picture :P. This is how ELF pink passion look like on me.

So i hope the review helps, see you around!

I love the packaging because it looks professional. It packed with black and sturdy plastic, complete with a mirror inside. Just handy for travelling and touch up.


When i swirl the brush, a lot of powders are flying over the air and dirtying my desk. Powdery! It is. Ack! So, next time around i try to just tap tap my brush, and this way it works a lot better ^^.


Pigmented color and it stays on about 4 - 5 hours on my combination skin. Pretty good! I love to put the contour powder on the hollow of the cheek and blush on the apples only. It looks like a gradation, gradually deeper to the jaw line.


I also did an FOTD using this contouring blush and bronzer on Fresh look post.


My opinion:
+ Affordable, around $3
+ Pigmented
+ Packaging looks professional
+ Looks great on me
- Powdery

Final verdict:
4,5/5 Totally recommended!

Personally, i use this brush for applying my NYX cream blushes. It works well. My blushes are in rose petal and glow, it is very pigmented. So, when i apply it with my hands, it turns out to be too much. The best way to apply it is with this stipple brush. It blends the product to a smooth finish.


Sometimes, i use it for powder blush and highlighter. Works like charm also. This brush picked up the product evenly, so it would end up looking natural on my face.


But somehow, i feel like i can`t use this to apply liquid foundation or BB cream. It waste so much product, takes more time to apply, and also the bb cream looks streaky and uneven. I wonder if the problem is my lacking skill because many other bloggers said it works well to apply liquid foundation and BB cream too. Do you have this brush? If you have tips to apply foundation/ bb cream with this brush, please share it with me too ^^..










The brush itself is not very dense. It is made of taklon ( idk what it is, maybe something synthetic >.<). Good thing about taklon is it doesn`t shed, washed easily, and have high flexibility. I washed this nearly every other day, but then the bristles never shed once. The bristle is easily stained tho. But overall, this is a very recommended brush. It is affordable, yet works like a charm


Price: around 60.000 rupiahs/ 9 SGD
