Must Haves: E.L.F Essential Holiday Cheeky Glow Kit!

Drop Dead Gorgeous Blush!

Eyes Lips Face released a nice range of holiday kits and sets on their website and of course I had to test out a few... for research purposes haha ;-) They were actually having a 50% off sale so the prices were so good to pass up! Today I have the E.L.F Essential Holiday Cheeky Glow Kit to review for you guys. It retails for only $5 and because I caught it on sale it was only $2.50! After using it I wished I would've ordered a backup because that blush alone is breathtaking!

The kit includes a highlight, blush and bronzer in a cute compact palette. It's pretty sturdy, kinda reminds me in  away of the Sleek Blush Palettes. They're similar in the layout and such.

It also includes a blush brush which is not the best quality to be honest. The brush hairs are a bit scratchy like the brushes in the essential line. I could see it working in a pinch though so don't toss it haha.

The highlighter has a pink tone to it, not one I would reach for because it's a satin finish. I love my highlighters to be more on the shimmery side but it's a pretty color nonetheless. The bronzer is not too warm and not too orange, just a great in between shade! Plus... it's matte! It's really smooth and blends fairly easy. But you guys... I haven't seen such a stunning blush color in a while. This blush is like an apricot shade with a golden sheen, similar to Nars Orgasm but less pink. It has a unique duo chrome to it that leaves your cheeks looking amazing! Even if you don't care for the highlight or bronzer I would get this kit just for the blush, it's that good!

It's kinda difficult to capture the duo chrome on camera, these pics really doesn't do the blush justice. It's really pigmented by the way so make sure to use a lighter hand. Here's what they look like swatched:

Bottom line: This kit is a great value! I'm truly in love with the blush, kinda hoping E.L.F adds that color to their permanent line because I would repurchase it in a heartbeat. The bronzer is pretty good, the highlighter was the only thing that didn't really impress me. But the convenience of having all three products in a kit is awesome! For $5 you can't go wrong! :-)
