— June 1, 2026 — Fashion
e.l.f. Cosmetics has introduced the Soft Glam Cream Blush Stick. This portable makeup product is made available to consumers in seven shades and priced affordably at $9 CAD.

The Soft Glam Cream Blush Stick delivers a natural, diffused flush of color with a satin finish. The brand maintains that the cream stick format allows the user to swipe the product directly onto cheeks and blend effortlessly. The formula is designed to glide on smoothly and melt into the skin. It boasts two percent shea butter and one percent sunflower seed oil, enabling the product to double as a light moisturizing treatment that helps maintain skin hydration throughout the day.

The buildable pigment offers control from a subtle hint of rosiness to a more pronounced glow.
