I'm back! I have been really busy with taking care of my kiddos after work, so I didn't have time to blog for almost two weeks. Long story, short... my baby's nanny didn't come back. She was supposed to take a one week leave. We waited 2 weeks for her to come back, but she didn't and we never heard from her again. I had to find a replacement asap, and I finally found one... Okay nuff talk about me.
I got the Ellana Minerals Lip and Cheek Gel from my January BDJ Box subscription early this year. I've been using it on days when I just need a quick makeup fix.

Ellana Minerals Lip & Cheek Gel in Amethyst Swatch (not blended)
The description says that the shade "Amethyst" is supposed to leave a plummy tint, however it just looks like a sheer red tint on me.
Ellana Minerals Lip & Cheek Gel in Amethyst Swatch (blended)
The tint itself, has a watery gel type texture. You only need a pea-sized amount to get that natural flush on your cheeks. I find it ideal to use my fingers to apply this tint. I also learned that it looks great when blended right away rather than waiting a few seconds before you start working on it.
This can be a little tricky to apply, especially if you're not familiar with using cheek tints. I like that it lasts for a good 5 hours on my cheeks before it starts fading.
You need not worry about how it smells like, since this tint is
fragrance-free. I also did not experience any allergic reactions to the
product. The stain does not transfer once it sets. However, it is not
easy to remove the stain on my fingers after application.
here's me using the lip and cheek gel on my cheeks and center of my lips
The Ellana Minerals Lip and Cheek tint adheres really well on my cheeks, but it's hard to let it stay on my lips. I have apply several layers on my upper lip for the color to really show. So, I just apply the tint on the center part of my lips most of the time, since it sets easily on that area.
The bottle comes with a pump which is convenient. But sometimes it has the tendency to pump a lot of product, so do be careful with that.
Overall, it's not bad considering the affordable price (around $5) and you get 20ml worth of product. However, I think there are better options in the market with the same price range.
Until next time.
Cheerios!
