Price and Availability:
This was $3 at Target, but you can also purchase the blushes on the ELF website.
If you have seen ELF products, then you will know that they look a bit similar to NARS packaging. They come a in a sleek black compact with a small "window" so you can see what color the blush is. The packaging is a little cheap, but then again, ELF is a cheap, affordable brand.
Product Review:
As for the blush itself, I really love the color. It is a bright pink that is super wearable. It is not super dark or too light. The only problem I have with ELF blushes is that when you use the blush, the blush in the pan starts to get a weird texture. The blush becomes a bit rough and bumpy. You can see in the picture below what I mean. See how one spot looks very weird? It looks bumpy. Although that does not change the way the blush works or looks on the skin, I hate that it looks like that. It is so unappealing and gross.

Product Comparison:
When I first bought this, I thought it was a dupe for MAC 'Pink Swoon' [which I love]. But when I swatched them together, I realized that they were pretty different. 'Pink Swoon' is much lighter. I think that "Pink Passion' is just a brighter version of 'Pink Swoon.'
PROS:
~Really cheap
~Good quality
~Amazing color
~Good for light AND darker skin
~Easy to find if you have a Target nearby
CONS:
~The blush gets a weird texture after a couple uses
~Might be not easily accessible if you don't have a Target, then you have to buy online
