💖 ABOUT ME:
Hi, my name is Jen I am 44 and live in Connecticut with my husband and 8 year old son. I am a stay-at-home Mom and full-time UA-camr with a degree in business with a focus in marketing. Before leaving work when my son was born, I was a commercial lender at a bank. I also worked at Sephora and Macy's doing visual merchandising.
I have dry skin with some hyperpigmentation and fine lines. I love natural makeup looks but occasionally go outside my comfort zone a little bit. On my channel you'll find lots of videos about drugstore makeup and drugstore dupes (those are my favorites to film!) but I also review high-end makeup as well. I hope you enjoy my channel and if you do, please don't forget to SUBSCRIBE & leave me a comment! - Навчання та стиль
*Just a quick note, I will definitely try the foundation with a damp sponge next, as that's my preferred way to apply foundation. The only reason I didn't in this video is because I wanted to try their new face brush. I would also suggest applying the blushes to your hand first and then dipping a brush or damp sponge into it before applying to your face. That's what I normally do and it works best for me. Again, I only applied them directly to my face because that's what elf was recommending in the directions (but I don't think that's the best way).*
I recently purchased the Wet N Wild tinted hydrator skin veil, have heard many say they love it and they are correct. It is wonderful, it is definitely light coverage but the finish on my 71 year old skin is wonderful.
I really like that one too!
I need those blushes!
Oh I agree! It covers but so lightly and you can’t beat the price. I think it’s my #1 find this year, as it was new to me.
That’s a good one.
I am interested in trying it! Can anyone tell me if it has a glowy finish? I prefer matte or satin finish. Thanks for the help! 🩷
WHOA, completely agree that fair cool color is OFF. No one's skin is that color. It's so saturated it is going to look way too dark on any fair person
So bizarre!
How is that a cool shade? That looks really warm.
I have only had TERRIBLE luck buying based off elf product photos just being the worst
So many fair shades are like that too. Like the palest shade shouldn't be piss yellow. 😊
their powder foundation has the exact same problem
Thank you for warning us about the chemical sunscreen in the CC cream along with its smell. That’s a no go for me. So appreciate your review of Elf!
I really have no interest in either of these launches, but I do love many elf products and appreciate your reviews and opinions. Thanks for continuing to make thoughtful and entertaining content!
I just wanted to let you know how much I have been enjoying your channel. Always good information with a great presentation. It shows how hard you work to make your content enjoyable to watch. Thank you..❤
I agree. I've been waiting for someone to review the elf liquid blushes. Once I saw Jen's video, I knew it would be useful information.
Dusty rose should be called dusty peach! Even their concealers pull orange on me, so I've always gone to NYX or Revlon for my base.
I was definitely thinking "dusty rose my patoot!"
Your videos are always my favourite Jen!
Thanks so much for the detailed reviews. Love that you swatched all of the blushes. Super helpful! Thank you!
Perfect timing- this will definitely help me figure out if this collection is worth trying out. Thank you!
THANK YOU for doing wear tests. That is such good info that a lot of UA-camrs don’t give! You da bomb
Thank you so much for all the swatches of the blushes and for all these vlogmas videos! Have really enjoyed watching. 🎄
Jen, thank you for sharing your holiday with us. I’ve so enjoyed your little boy and his dinosaurs when you come on. I really enjoyed this video and plan to try several of the blushes and the ELF blush. Very pretty shades!
I've been waiting for this ELF review ever since I got the early access to purchase their new products!
That hot pink is so pretty! I always shy away from liquid and cream blushes but I may have to give that one a try! Thanks, Jen!
Yay I saw these were coming out and was looking forward to a review from you!
I was so excited about this video bc I just bought 3 of those elf blushes. Now I know how to apply them and what to expect! Thanks.
i reallllly love that the liquid blushes aren’t too pigmented. i’m loving the mauve, coral, pink, orange, and hot pink. the brushes look pretty awesome as well. i loveeee your videos!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Said no darkskin woman ever. Looks like I'll be skipping these. 😢
I was really looking fwd to them too smh.
@@gisellespringerjust wondering if Moira had a pigmented blush in their line you could try?
Obviously rare beauty is the most pigmented but if you wanted to try something cheaper? :)
@pinkbubblesnake I'll stick to juvias place. ❤
I've never tried Moria or actually seen them in stores to purchase.
@@gisellespringerI’m medium tan and tried the shade berry well. It’s way too pigmented for me. Giving clown cheeks! I like blushes that show up but can be built up vs these that immediately made me look like I had a rash. So if you’re looking for pigment try that shade. Not sure how dark you are though - but if you’re tan or med-dark it might work
OMG I am so excited to see a video on this! It's the first one I have seen!
Thank you for the video! I've been looking for a swatch video of these blushes since I heard about them. You are one of my go-to ladies to get good swatches and reviews. I really trust your opinion on products. Thank for all the hard work that you put in your videos.
You r always reviewing exactly what I want to see ❤❤
The CC Cream packaging reminded me of the Lancôme Skin Feels Good Skin Tint, I was hoping it was a nice, affordable comparison. I love the Heimish BB Cream, it has become my go to for my lazy days when I want something on my skin that isn't foundation or too full coverage on the skin. The liquid blushes look good, I like that they aren't too pigmented, and easy to blend.
So appreciate your reviews!!!
I’m 71 and love your channel.♥️
(I threw the Elf halo glow blush away, I must have missed that review!)
160K subscribers! I’m so happy for you 🤗
I love how all the colours looked so good on you ❤
So helpful thank you for doing a review so quickly!
The corral crush is def your color! Thx for taking the time to let us see how all the colors look. Happy holidays!
Omg, all the blush colors suit you 😍😍😍 gorgeous ❤ thank you for your amazing job ❤
Such a helpful review Jen! Thanks for all this info. I had a lot of points on the ELF website so I've ordered Comin' in Hot Pink and the new brush which looks lovely. xx
I was just waiting on your review about these, thank you!!
Yes!!! I was waiting to see a review of these. Definitely interested in both even though I can't get the new CC cream in Canada yet.
Glad for your review of the ELF products. Will definitely get the hot pink and berry cheek colors and pass on the CC cream.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.🎄🎄❤️🎄🎄
Thank you for reviewing the blushes, I was curious about those especially love the bronze, orange and hot pink shades
Wow!!! The blush is still very vibrant, impressive. Your eyeshadow still looks amazing too! 😊😊
The blushes look beautiful and the new brush looks very nice. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours!
Thank you so much for all your hard work. Happy holidays to you and your family!!
Merry Christmas Jen! 🎄
Jen this is my 2nd year with you because I remember your beautiful opening! Merry Christmas! Christmas 🎅
Thanks for the Elf update Jen.
Hi Jen, I very much enjoyed watching this video,those elf blushes look so pretty, I hope they come to us in Australia sooner rather than later. Love Katherine xoxo
Thanks for doing that with the blushes!😊
now I’m more sure about buying the blush, maybe I’ll even get 2 shades soon 😊 thanks for the in-depth review!
I didn't like the original either, and since I have oily skin, I won't be trying this one. Thanks for taking one for the team. The blushes are super pretty though!
I'm super excited to try the new blushes! I just ordered the mauve one along with one of their lip oils which I already know I love. Also ordered the new waterproof formula of their eyebrow pencil and the Sky High mascara in brown. Can't wait to try it all out!
Soo excited to try the new blushes! But I wish ELF would come up with a better basic foundation, like around $10 with a huge shade range 😂 a girl can dream
Missha have some great ones.
Love the blushes Jen ❤
thank you for the cheek swatches ! i wanted a peachy blush so i was looking at the first and the coral ones, but the dusty rosé looks the closer to what i wanted, i would not have guessed with this name 😅
omg soo beautiful I want that coral color for summer time!!
Thanks, Jen! I just bought 2 blushes-the mauve and dusty rose and both brushes.
Yay, new blush! I'm not sure any foundation could pull me away from my HG Korean BBs like Purito/Missha. Thx Jen!!
I still LOVE the Revlon ColorStay Oily/ Combo, even though I have crazy dry skin in Ivory. It’s one of the few color matches I have (Missha #13 is perfect!).
Love the elf liquid blushes want to try ❤
The blushes look great! ❤❤
The elf cc creams just seem like misses. I couldn’t find any colors that worked for my very fair skin & it was a thick mess. This one seems really similar to the original. But those blushes look good! This was so helpful.
Always appreciate your honest and in-depth reviews. Nice to see the blush held up after a full day. Too bad the hydrating CC cream didn’t sit well on the skin as I was hoping it would be a better version than the original CC. I did think the hydrating camo concealer to be much better than the original concealer. Shame this isn’t the same
Thanks for this honest review. I was on the fence of buying it BUT I did not like Elf’s other CC cream at all!! Have a wonderful Christmas 🎄
I can see everything you are talking about on the close up Jen. I like the blush colors and how you tried them all for us. I do like the brushes. I have some of their brushes already and they are two ended also. I am so glad to get your reviews before I pay ELF a visit on their website. Your reviews are so very helpful to me and I just love the Vlogmas. Thank you so much Jen and I wish you and your family a Very Merry Christmas.🥰❤💖💗💕💙❣✌🏵🌹🌹🌲🥀🌸💐
I bought the suave mauve, it arrived today! I love the shade, but now I saw the coral crush on you and.... lol I want that one too! 😂 have a merry Christmas with your family ❤
I really like the coral and orange blushes on you - really looked so pretty on you! I would like to try one of the lighter shades as a base for a softer powder blush. Good to know that the blushes dry down. I just never like the ELF Camo foundations. Thanks for your reviews on these!
Not saying for sure, but sometimes if I use a brush with a thicker foundation, it will sit on top of my skin. If I go back over it with a damp sponge, it helps it sink in. 🤷♂️
I keep telling myself I don't need any new blushes, but those look so pretty!!
The deeper shade blushes are beautiful!
I tried the new blush (pinky promise) and lip oil (jam session) Love them both! Thanks for the review
on all of the blushes. I’m a new subscriber.
Hi Jen, great video! 😊 ty!
Clicked sooo fast! I have both of these in my cart at the moment.
Hi, Jen! Thanks so much for the 411 on the new ELF blushes. I love the colours, and I think I can wear most of them.
I do like the ELF original formula CC cream. It just seems to work well with my skin, so I think I'll try the new one, too. I'm just not that fond of regular foundation anymore, especially full coverage. THAT makes me look like I'm wearing a mask, and it's so heavy. I'd rather just wear light to medium formulas. With combination skin, it feels more comfortable. My skin is drier in winter and oiler in summer. Of course, I broke out until I was 40 years old! I know, insane, isn't it?
Just a thought: have you fonsidered trying the new ELF CC cream over face primer? Maybe it would work better that way. I like the ELF liquid putty primer. It doesn't feel sticky, and my makeup seems to adhere pretty well to it.
Oh, a quick follow up. I've been using the ColourPop brow pen as I'd mentioned, and it looks FANTASTIC! It really looks natural, so I can thicken up my brows from the stupid overplucking I did in the 90s. Remember that?🙄 But I'm using Soft Brown, and it blends in perfectly with my dark brows. I hope you get to try it, and I hope it works out for you! You'll have to let me know. BTW, I believe it's less expensive than the NYX Lift and Snatch.(yay!)
I hope you and your family have a great Christmas. Not sure yet if we're going to have snow; it's certainly cold enough!🥶
Def want both brushes!
I knew it would be pertinent to see a review before buying the foundation. The last two neutral foundations I got from them leaned very orange and inexpensive or not, it’s still money lost. I already bought four blushes so I’m glad to see they’re manageable. I think they need to work on their shades because a lot of them leaned orange-peachy. Thank you for reviewing and swatching everything! 😊
Hey Jen! Love the video, but I don't think either product would work for me. Chemical sunscreens or blends are not something I trust on my skin, and liquid blushes are simply beyond my skill level. I like creams and powders, and I've got plenty of both. But what interests me are those brushes. I don't wash brushes nearly often enough - who does? - so I'd like to stock up on good, serviceable brushes for cream products. I wish Elf would bring back the Domed Stipple, or even the Small Stipple brush... You're looking lovely as ever! Thanks for the video, and Happy Whatever You Celebrate! (my safe for everyone greeting!)
When I use my rare beauty liquid blush I put a drop on my hand, swirl out on my brush, then apply to cheeks. That way I can control what I get. That might help.
I mentioned at the end of the video that I was planning to put them on my hand first next time. That's what I usually do, but for this video I was applying them the way elf suggested in their directions. :)
I didn’t bother trying the first Elf CC Cream because the IT cosmetics one it was duping looks HORRIBLE on me. It looked cakey, dry, mask-like…no matter how I applied it or what type of primer I used. I remember being just flabbergasted at how bad it was for me 😂 So I’ll probably pass on this iteration, but the blushes look great!!
That's pretty much what the OG ELF cc cream looked like on me lol a dry cake mask
Omg same
Yes i got the travel size of the IT cosmetics one and it was like putting paste on your face. Not a fan. I thought it was awful too.
Coral crush was the stand-out. Just perfection on you!
The cream blushes from elf are very stunning and amazing 😍🤩. I really love the last cream blush, where you use 😊. Love from Greece ❤️🙂.
Those liquid blushes look really nice on you. Definitely some are more pigmented than others! I wish they were the same pigmentation. I worked with the glow wands and I think I have them figured out lol. Also agree with rare beauty… beautiful colors but I waaay over did it the first few times 😂😂😂 I’ve figured those out too.
C’mon elf, you’re killin me! Although you might be able to salvage the CC cream by using an eye primer on your nose or anywhere it goes on patchy. I’ve tried that and it’s a good tip.
Love the foundation and all of the other products.
What a year elf has had! I bought three of the blushes and tried one out for the first time today. It was love at first blush, LOL, and I immediately jumped back on the website and got one more color along with some other items that I wanted to try. Thanks for doing this because I got to see how all the colors would look on me because you and I have very similar coloring. xoxo Deb How is your son doing? better i hope!
Aw thanks Deb! He's perfect now...I'm so glad he was able to enjoy Christmas!
I love your brows!! Your shape is so similar to mine.. I am not sure how to fill mine in as good as yours... Thanks for always being honest with us that goes a long way for me personally.. I love elf but have used the last cc foundation and it also looked makeup like and my pores looked super enlarged and it wore horrible thru the day .. I hate I wasted my money on it but ur review of this one saved me 15 dollars lol .. Merry Christmas Jen and happy New Year!! Love your videos.. long time subscriber here from Mississippi!!
Aw thank you! I'm planning to do a video on my favorite makeup that I use every day and I'll share exactly how I do my brows now. It'll probably be tomorrow's video! :)
Thank you! You are the best!!
Oooo i like the berry shade too!!
Thank you for this review! I had been wondering about these. Also, what brand is your sweater? I love it!
Thanks! It's from Abercrombie but it's a few years old now.
@@JenPhelpsthank you! Also, have a wonderful holiday!
Thank you for cheek swatching all of the cheek colors. I see warmth in EVERY shade (pretty common these days). At best 1 or 2 might be considered neutral. Having pink in the name doesn’t make something cool. Many pinks have warm/yellow tones in them. This is very helpful, will be skipping both 😊MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and your family!
Thank you for the review! I think I’ll skip the CC cream and try the liquid blushes!
Okay...I am watching before I buy. As always, I appreciate your time on this. Are you Fair Light or Fair Beige in the Nude Glow?
I'm Fair Light and it's just a smidge too deep for me but once blended out it looks fine. :)
hi I also had trouble with the color match on the original cc cream..that cool shade was crazy orange...as always enjoy that you already were able to get your hands on the latest launch and be able share your thoughts with us!!!
I bought the Peach Perfect blush shade and found the formula, color, and applicator shape to be very similar to the Saie liquid blush in Peachy. Peach Perfect is a bit more neutral tho.
I definitely want to buy a couple of the blushes. I will skip the foundation, but I may try the brushes.
My elf order comes today, I picked up the new blushes, hydrating cc cream and some lip liners ❤❤
I like the original Elf CC Cream for the summer with a sponge and the It Cosmetics Glow foundation you are referring to was too much for my skin (it never set down enough for me to be able to get any kind of wear time out of it) so I am looking forward to trying out the new Elf Hydrating Camo CC, then again I’m 28 so I know my skin is different than yours. That’s ok. I’m glad we can all benefit from the information!
The foundation is nice, little shiny, but pretty for sure!❤
THANK YOU JEN!!💟💕💄💕💟 I appreciate your review of these.. are the brushes good?? I was wondering.. 🥰♥️💐🎄🎅🙏🏻
Yes! I actually liked the brushes!
120N in the original Camo CC Cream is my PERFECT shade. Unfortunately, the original Camo CC Cream started breaking up on my face in a matter of 1-2 hours (I have normal-oily, acne-prone skin with my t-zone being the oilest part of my face). I was really hoping they had fixed those issues with this new formula, but alas it seems that they have not. I will stick with the Wet N Wild Tinted Hydrator because that is gorgeous!
The blushes definitely show some promise. I really like Suave Mauve and PInky Promise for everyday. Comin' In Hot Pink and Coral Crush are such fun shades for an extra pop!
Hi Jen, thanks for the video! I hope your son and husband are doing better. And I really like the eye shadow look you did in this video.
It's too bad that these new blushes are scented. Otherwise, based on your review, I'd try them!
I didn't actually notice a fragrance in the blushes...I'm guessing you saw it in the ingredient list though, that's too bad. :(
@@JenPhelps Yes, I did: rosa damascena flower water. I should have said. It's pretty far down in the ingredients list, but it's there. I'm not surprised that you didn't smell it.
Ok so i may hold on the cc cream. I do want the brush tho! I love e.l.f.'s brushes. Now lets see whats good with the blushes!
I really hate this confusion around the color mauve. It's supposed to be a cool muted purple, but I've seen such a huge range of colors all claiming to be mauve. This one has to be one of the worst lol it's wayyyyyyyyyyy too warm to be considered mauve
Off topic, love your earrings. Even more if there real fingers crossed. Very classic, chic and just timeless
Thank you so much! They're from Rowan...they have really nice classy pieces.
Thank you on the info on the blushes. A little goes along way. I love your eyeshadow. What did you use?
It's the Colourpop Stone Cold Fox palette!
I had the same problems with this cc cream but everybody seems to love it from what I have seen so far so I‘m kind of relieved you had an similar experience 🙈 so I’m not crazy 😅
The original e.l.f CC Camo Cream is a holy grail for me and I was tempted to try this one, but the reviews so far have been very “meh.” I’m fairly oily anyway, so I don’t absolutely need hydration. I appreciate a good liquid blush though and I definitely want to try some of these after seeing you swatch them. Thanks!
Thanks Jen❤
Interesting. I actually like elf's camo cc cream. I do think the shades are a little off, but I still have a match. I prefer to use this with no primer and less is definitely best.
