e.l.f. Cream Blush Palette in Soft

Review: 

The e.l.f. Cream Blush Palette launched back in January as a part of the Spring 2016 collection and I picked one up during a recent e.l.f. haul since, you know, I don't have the willpower to pass up a blush palette. ;) Plus, I just love cream blushes in the Spring and Summer...they just seem so easy and carefree, just swipe on, blend with your fingers, and go!

It comes in two shades, Soft (which is the one I'll be reviewing today) and Bold.  They're housed in the exact same packaging as the powder blush palettes, so you have the ability to pop the pans out and mix and match with other palettes. I personally don't like mixing powders and creams together so I would probably only mix these shades with some from the Bold Cream Blush palette if I decide to get that one.

Just like the other e.l.f blush palettes, this one comes with a really large mirror and generously sized pans.

The shades in the Soft palette are so beautiful, and just perfect for fair to light skin tones. They give you a nude pink, a peachy nude, a dusty mauve, and a soft rose shade.

I was expecting these cream shades to be sort of thick and sticky-feeling due to the lower price point but they surprised me by being super creamy and ultra-blendable. These aren't the kind of creams that you need to warm up first in order to pick them up...they already have great slip to them and a light, silky feel. I love, love, love the texture...they almost remind me of the Stila Convertible colors in a way! They're nicely pigmented and as you blend them, they turn sheer but you can easily build them up to the level of color that you want. I like to pat them into my skin and then lightly blend with my fingers.

They give my cheeks a really natural-looking satin finish that doesn't feel greasy or tacky at all. They sink right into my skin and dry down completely, but that could be because I have dry skin...they do have a more emollient texture so if you're oily, they might not dry down all the way and slide right off.

They last about 4 hours on me before fading, so they're not the longest-wearing cream blush, but I find that if I set them with a complimentary powder blush, it locks in the color for all-day wear.

Overall, I'm really enjoying this palette and I love these subtle, everyday shades for my light skin tone. Most days, I wear these alone and I don't mind if they fade but if I'm going somewhere special and I want my blush to last, I layer a powder blush on top and I'm good to go for the entire day.
