elf haul

Hey Dolls! :)
I have an Elf Haul for you all today. I had been waiting for Elf's facebook page to hit 350,000 likes because when it did they were going to allow us all 30% off for a few days. This happened, yippeee! So I placed my order. I placed it on the Thursday evening and recieved it on the Saturday morning, one full day later as I expected. The shipping is very quick with eyeslipsface.co.uk! :) Delivery was £2.95 which I think is very reasonable and not over-priced at all. All Studio products retail at £3.50, any others retail at £1.50. Onto the products I bought..


Some Elf Brushes. The eye defining brush, which is amazing for the crease and outer V, I highly recommend it! :) Then two brushes from the Studio Line, the Elf Stipple Brush and the Elf Powder Brush. The powder brush I am a huge fan of, it's really great for applying my liquid foundation!
However the stipple brush sucks, do not buy it, it is far too flimsy..




-Elf Conditioning Lip Balm SPF 15 in Romantic Rouge. A beautiful, sheer everyday-wearable red!
-Elf Mineral Lipstick in Barely Bitten. A gorgeous reddy/browny lipstick perfect for nights out, very moisturising!
-Elf Super Glossy Lip Shine SPF 15 in Malt Shake and Party Peach. Both lovely, I adore these tubed glosses and cannot wait to purchase even more!



-Elf Eyshadow from the Studio Line in Rasberry Truffle, a purple/brown colour, in my opinion only to be used in the crease.
-Elf Nail Polish in Passion Pink. At first I HATED this as Im not a fan of bright, garish pinks however I soon realised it had speckles of gold shimmer in it as you can see from the picture, and once applied it dries to a lovely colour, very similar to how it is shown on the website.
-Elf Brightening Eye Colour in Day 2 Night. Four lovely colours, resonably pigmented (well what can you expect from a £1.50 eyeshadow quad!? Not a lot!) and im super excited to try out some looks using this!
-Elf Studio Blush in Mellow Mauve. A gorgeous deep pink/mauvey blush. A beautiful colour and one I will get a lot of wear out of.




Some swatches. The first four are the lip products. Working from the top downwards they are Romantic Rouge, Barely Bitten, Malt Shake and Party Peach. The last picture is blush/eyeshadows. Working from the top downwards is firstly the Brightening Eye Shadow Quad, then Rasberry Truffle and finally Mellow Mauve blush :)

I hope you all enjoyed this post and that it is somewhat helpful! Just keep in mind that the colours on the website are not always exactly how the product appears, so be sure to check out lots of different swatches before you purchase anything!

Love Sophie x
