Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag..





Free shipping/delivery always pulls me in.
Elf is a cosmetics brand which generally only stocks cheaper make-up. Some of its products featured in the studio line and a bit more than what I deam "cheap" but are a bit less than many of the main stream highstreet products. It has three sections, the main line which every item is £1.50, a mineral line where products vary around £3 and a studio where most are £3.50 with a few exception a bit above.
Ive ordered from Elf several times over the years and know a bit about the lines they carry so when they over free delivery on their facebook page, I already know what kind of things I want to go for. This little lot came to £11.50 and I think its quite a lot for that. This actually came on Saturday, taking only one day to deilver so each product has been tested enough for a mini review:)
  • The Elf studio brush( the only brush purchased in this order) in a densly packed flat top brush. Its bristles are extremely soft and ive had no shedding what so ever.
  • The Mauve luxe lipliner appeared nude on the website( do not trust website swatchs, always check blogs) but is actually a metallic browny red. It serves well as a lipliner but is not what I really wanted.
  • The Blush and bronzer duo is nice. Its nothing spectacular but does what I want it too. It would be nicer if the bronzer was matt as at times it can look like you just shoved shimmer on your face.
  • The two lipsticks are both pigmented and creamy. The red broke during first use as the packaging is to be for the actual lisptick but other than that, it is lovely deep red.

I haven't been buying much recently, trying to limit myself and not spend anything. Its hard.:(
