 | |||
| DOLL (swatched heavily to make it show up on my wrist) Looks best with fairer skin tones |
 |
| FULFILLMENT ( a very pretty peachy pink shade, my favorite!) looks very close to NARS Super Orgasm, minus the glitter |
 |
| BLISS (an old shade. now discontinued. this looks scary when swatched but is really beautiful on my olive skin when lightly applied.) Best for medium-deep skin tones. |

I love Ellana Minerals. Their Intensive Cover Mineral Foundation in Toffee Mocha is one of my HGs. The first blush i ever got from them 2 years ago was Bliss (now discontinued). It is still in my makeup stash until now and is still in perfect condition. I have included it in this review as a comparison with the 2 other newer blushes. Doll belongs to their newer shades. Fulfillment is by far my favorite among all Ellana blushes i've tried.
The Good
- pigmentation is crazy! you only need a teeny amount on your brush to give a pop of color on your cheeks. apply too much and you'll look like a clown
- a little goes a long way. it will take you forever to finish a 2.5gram tub.
- texture is velvety smooth
- affordable
- excellent staying power, mine stays on the entire day
The Bad
- can be messy. make sure the lid is tightly closed lest it wrecks havoc on your makeup kit (happened to me twice with my Ellana Minerals Bronzer)
- since it's crazily pigmented, there's a very high risk of over application
- tap tap tap. make sure to tap off your brushes to remove excess blush before applying it to your face
- what i do is i put a small amount of the powder blush on the cap and swirl my brush in the cap, then tap off any excess.
- since it's crazily pigmented, there's a very high risk of over application
Tips
- use a high density blush brush when applying mineral blushes (i use a kabuki brush)- tap tap tap. make sure to tap off your brushes to remove excess blush before applying it to your face
- what i do is i put a small amount of the powder blush on the cap and swirl my brush in the cap, then tap off any excess.
Final Verdict
A+
Great color payoff and texture for the price.
