An e.l.f addiction is forming


e.l.f Haul 
 
First impressions – The unveiling of the products I ordered on the 10/2/12

Apart from the sheer excitement to my package coming the next day, I was dying to open it and check out the products.    

I’m still very new to e.l.f this being my 3rd time purchasing small hauls at the end of the month from their site, but have loved the items received so far.

As always the items were packed nicely by the Distribeauty team, I can never fault the fantastic service they provide. 

If you’re not familiar with who the Distribeauty Team is... well you should ;-)

I’ll be reviewing the products that I have tried so far, and I will add more e.l.f product reviews next week. I’m currently working on my second test paper for my MUA course (the written part) so I am writing up reviews when I have free time.

Lipsticks


The e.l.f Mineral Lipsticks in my opinion are absolutely wonderful, beautiful pigmented colours that just glide onto the lips, it’s hard to believe they are only £3.50 each! Also they have good staying power and are moisturising on the lips. My personal favourites are Cheerful Cherry and Cool Coral, I found Natural Nymph did not suit my skin tone but I still love the colour.



Fantasy from the regular line was a bargain at £1.00 I liked the colour and my only negative thought on this lipstick would be that it never applied as smoothly as the mineral lipsticks.


Below are pictures of how they look on the lips:

Cheerful Cherry



Cool Coral

Fantasy




Natural Nymph







Eyebrow Treat and Tame



If you like a more natural looking brow then this is a must have
I normally fill in my brows with a medium brown power and an angled brush, but sometimes when you are in a rush to get out the door with two young children at the early hours of the morning, you just want something that makes you look presentable but less time consuming.  

I brushed my brows into shape and then applied the Treat gel to my brows and waited a few seconds before applying the Tame to the brows. I would advise doing this before setting your foundation as   this will allow you to clean up any product that is not on your eyebrows.




e.l.f Studio Stipple Brush





On myself I normally use my hands to apply foundation as I find it more quick and easy when I’m in a rush, But after trying this brush I actually got my foundation on in half the time and used less product than I would have done if I used my hands. The brush is super soft and of good quality, I was very pleased with airbrush finish it produces. 

I’ve seen a number of ways of how to use this particular brush on YouTube i.e. - Stippling then buffing it in, but I found it worked best using only a stippling motion. I don’t think I will ever put foundation on with out my e.l.f Stipple Brush from now on  :-)


I would love to know what are your favourite e.l.f Products are?




Thanks for reading

Take care
