On my most recent trip to Superdrug I was absolutely thrilled to find that Superdrug are now stocking e.l.f Cosmetics. I have heard so many amazing things about the brand over the years, they are known for the affordability and quality of their products.
Superdrug were offering a 3 for 2 across all makeup so I picked up a few bits including the e.l.f Aqua -Infused Blush and Bronzer.
Infused with purified water and vitamin E, the cream-to-powder formula hydrates your skin, leaving behind a dewy finish. Discover a glowing, sculpted complexion with the silky shades in this blush and bronzer duo.
Description/Formula
This Aqua Infused Blush & Bronzer Duo claims to be hydrating as it is infused with vitamin E and water. They are described as having a cushiony consistency and I have heard some people describe it as a “putty” like consistency. The texture feels like if you were to press your finger a in tube of play-doh (That is honestly the best way I can describe it 😉 ) I actually think it is pretty cool and I have never seen any other makeup product like it.
Application
I’m literally obsessing over how easily this product applies to the face. It can be applied before you power or after you powder. The first time I tried this product I had just set my foundation and I was terrified that it was going to destroy my makeup. However I was so surprised at how the formula changes from an almost wet consistency to a powder consistency once applied on the face.
They apply effortlessly on to the face and are both extremely blendable. I use a small angled contour brush to apply the bronzer and a small blush brush to apply the blush. The pigmentation of these are insane and a little goes a long way. E.l.f recommend applying the product with a damp sponge which I have tried but for a more natural look I prefer applying them with a brush. However, either way looks really gorgeous and it leaves a radiant, natural finish.
Colours
I picked up the shade “Bronzed Peach” , it is a beautiful pinkish coral color blush with a slightly deeper golden bronze shade, perfect for medium to tanned skin tones. The blush looks beautiful and gives a nice flush of color to the cheeks , the bronzer gives nice sun-kissed look. Both the powders have a slight shimmer to them, but that’s not visible when applied and blended out. I have been using the bronzer to contour because it is not too warm toned and honestly the formula is a dream to apply.
Wear Time
I am also very impressed with how long these last on my skin, even after 8 hours, I could still see the color on my cheeks. I am in love with this little compact, the duo is perfect for my skin tone and looks so natural. The formula is amazing , the cream to powder combination is so lightweight and feels hydrating. It adds a nice pop of color and makes my skin look luminous rather than muddy or dirty.
Overall, I am extremely impressed with the e.l.f Aqua Infused Blush & Bronzer. it is a really cool, innovative product that works. Hugh thumbs up from me!
The e.l.f Aqua Infused Blush & Bronzer can be picked up from Superdrug for €8.50
