Recently made an order with ELF cosmetics after waiting for the eyebrow kit to come back in stock in the shade I wanted. Obviously I got a few other bits too! I've used stuff from their normal range before - we're talking a good few years ago now - but I never really thought anything was that great except the nail polish (keep your eyes peeled for another post with them!).
I used most of the products the other day in place of the things I usually use and I must say I'm pretty impressed. Although at first I thought the colour was off for the brow products, it's probably just because I'm used to using a warmer brown, and I feel they look a lot more natural now. I've wanted to try a wax brow kit for ages (namely Benefit's one) so it's nice that cheaper companies make them too!
The brushes are super soft and I wouldn't say they are awful quality or anything even compared to Sigma ones! A few people on Twitter recommended using the Powder Brush with foundation and I couldn't agree more. I have found myself having to use more product as it seems to soak it up (?!) but it does leave a lovely finish. I've switched from using a big fluffy face brush for my powder to the Fan Brush as it's less heavy and sets everything properly without giving me too much coverage. I hate the feeling of powder on my face so it's perfect!
I'll do some more in-depth reviews/swatches if people want to see them but I'm guessing lots of people have used or seen these products before anyway? Also any other ELF recommendations are totally welcome, I won't feel as guilty when I order compared to when a parcel from MAC arrives!

I will be honest never used Elf! Oops such a make-up virgin, i tend to stick to what i like, these pallettes could twist me though xx :o)
ReplyDeleteI would definatley reccomend the mineral lipsticks! My most used is "Runway Pink", which is a dupe of MACs Creme Cup. Lasts for ages too :)
ReplyDeletewould love to hear your thoughts about the blush x x
I love the studio line brushes. great quality for the price.
ReplyDeleteI also tried the powder brush with my foundation and found to have the same problem! Did leave my skin looking smooth, but a little scared that i may be 'wasting' fondation.
I love so many of their products, you really can't go wrong for the price. The tinted moisturiser is only £1.50!!

I love ELF goodies! I've wanted to try the eyebrow product, too. What do you think of the stippling brush?
ReplyDeleteI've never bought from ELF, but I would if you really rated them, or recommended things compared to highstreet/highend alternatives, so let me know what you think!
