Elf Makeup Review

Mondays are all about product reviews on my blog. So here is another post featuring some affordable makeup plus my opinions. 

I have heard a lot about ELF and the main piece of information which I kept on my mind was that of ELF makeup being a good quality super low price makeup. However, I also knew I could not get this brand in my country, as most other brands, so I never thought about it. I was happily surprised and very excited to discover a corner in one of my favourite supermarkets selling a small selection of ELF makeup at very low prices. The first things I grabbed were a hypershine gloss in 012 blossom and a duo eye cream shadow in sugar cookie. Because I liked these 2 products so much, at least when considering how cheap they are, I also bought a brightening eye colour eye shadows quad in nouveau neutrals and a second duo eyeshadow cream in coffee & cream. 

This brightening eye color quad in Nouveau Neutrals (2004) is very nice. The colours are soft but neither too cool or warm toned, which is why they are great for both warmer as well as cooler skins. You can get various eye looks from this quad by using the 2 shadows on the right together in 1 look and the other 2 shadows in another look. But you can also mix one colour on the right with one on the left. It all depends on your skin, your hair and the colour of your eyes. The quality is very nice too. These shadows perform well in terms of pigmentation (although they are quiet sheer they can be built up), staying power and they do not crease especially if you were them on top of a good base.

This duo eye shadow cream in coffee & cream (7108) is amazing. First the colour are gorgeous. The white colour is iridescent and has gold particles in it. It is great for highlighting your inner corners and your eye brow bones but also as a base to make colour stand out more. I used the white one together with the pink in sugar cookie cream duo and the result was gorgeous. I also used the brown one under some taupe powder shadows and I got a beautiful eye look. The staying power is good (at least on my lids which are not oily) and the pigmentation is great. 

This other duo eye shadow cream in sugar cookie is very versatile too. You can use the two colours together or on its own both as a base or as your main eye colour. The gold is very pretty and not too loud. All of these cream shadows are iridescent and have shimmering particles in them. Plus, they blend easily.

Finally, but certainly not least, is this great lip gloss in a beautiful warm pink called blossom (012). It applies nicely, is not sheer and the colour is very visible. It also lasts for few hours if you apply 2 coats. Is a great Summer lip colour for both mornings and evenings. 

Each of the above Elf product only costed 1.99 euros at my local GS supermarket. So far, I haven't had any problems with these products in terms of breaking out or allergic reactions. Another great aspect is the fact that they do not have a strong scent and therefore they won't bother you if you wear them all day long. I really recommend this products and I am looking forward to purchase more of them.
