My Thoughts :

To start with i would say e.l.f products are mostly satisfying and they've always been on my buying list. E.l.f HD blush is a liquid version of a blush and this was my first time experiencing a liquid blush and i would say that the color pigmentation is great but it took a lot of time for me to perfectly blend it and set it on my face so it looks natural.The color payoff is so great and it stays in place for more that 10 hours.It drys very quickly so you have to be really quick once you've taken it out other wise it leaves spots on your face and they're very hard to remove and can't blended out.
Overall i would say that this blush is alright, not so great but not bad either. I have mixed feelings about them. On one side they have such great pigmentation and staying power and on the other they're really hard to blend. You can use e.l.f stipple brush for applying it but I used my hands because for me a brush is nearly impossible to apply this blush with.

like it :
-If you're into liquid blushes
-If you're looking for a blush with great pigmentation
-Its affordable

leave it :
-If you have dry skin type
-If you don't have enough time to perfectly set it
-you're not into liquid blushes

My rating:
3/5

THE BODY SHOP BRUSH ON Beads

What The BODY SHOP says about it :

BEST IF YOU WANT TO: Add a touch of radiance to your face, cheeks and décolletage using bronze or buff colored powder beads with light-diffusing particles and pearl pigments.

BEST FOR: all skin types



SWATCHES:

My Thoughts :

 First of all I have to say that I'm in love with The BODY SHOP products. There products never disappoint me. The BODY SHOP brush on beads are just amazing. They add a perfect bronze to your face. The beads are so smooth and soft they come easily on your brush when swiped. About the sponge that is included in it I personally think its useless as its not easy to apply blush or a bronzer with such a huge sponge that doesn't even get the right amount of product on it. They are a bit to dark for my skin tone but it works great both as a blush or a bronzer. The gold shimmer in it just adds beauty to the bronzer. I love how it makes my face glow and make it look all shiny.The quantity of the product is however very less as compared to the price which is the only thing I don't like about this product.I would say that the brush on beads are a beautiful bronzer and it was a must have for me.



Like it :
-If you like bronzers with shimmer in it
- If you have dry skin
-You want to buy a product that can work both as a blush and a bronzer


Leave it :
- If you think the quantity is too less for the price
-If you're extremely fair skin tonned

My rating :
4.5/5
