e.l.f Cosmetics Baked Blush in Passion Pink

this is the first baked blush that i've purchased - i've always gone for a pressed powder consistency in the past, but the mineralized, marble-like effect caught my eye when i was browsing the e.l.f. site. i have a very pale complexion so don't like anything that is too overly pigmented, and i love this shade. it just adds a rosy-like glow to my cheekbones and brightens up my face a little more. i think the hues of brown and taupe also help it look much more natural than an artifical pink shade - it's just very natural looking. i really like the baked formula - some other cheek and face powders that i own seem to be very flaky, i'm not sure that's the right word, but when i swirl my brush around the pot there's clouds of product all over the place and loads of it ends up getting wasted. with the baked formula it goes on the brush and nowhere else. this has instantly become a make-up bag staple for me.

this is available from the e.l.f website for £3.75 and it comes in 4 different shades.
