e.l.f Cosmetics Haul!

Bonjour People,

Wow. Wow. Wow.

I had the spur of the moment beauty haul the other day, I was on the e.l.f Cosmetic website in search of just one thing, I should have realised that wouldn't be the case. I just couldn't stop myself, they had loads of wonderful products I just had to try!

Opening a parcel and seeing it full of makeup is one of the best moments in life. I'd like to say thank you to my packer Andrew for doing such a lovely job!

This is everthing that I ordered to add to my mahussive collection. I was like a little kid at christmas, didn't know what to open and try first!
I love the neutral colours and softer shades of red/pink/coral so the majority of my order reflect that.

Let's begin with these Jumbo Eyeshadow Sticks. I love eyeshadow sticks, they're so easy to use and give a noticeable effect without being 'too much'. I chose the colours 'Like A Boss' which is a dark blue/grey and 'French Lace' which is a golden rose colour (love it, blends so nicely with my skin). The product itself has a lovely creamy feel making it easy to apply and perfect for blending when creating a smokey eye effect. An added bonus is it's 'twist up' feature. (£2.50)

In the colder months of the year, I suffer from dry lips and always have a gazillion lip balms however, none of them provide any colour. I found this soothing lip balm 'Strawberry Creme' and my heart skipped a beat, I knew it was for me. Not only does it provide treatment for chapped lips, it also gives them a pop of colour. What makes this product that little bit special is the smell of the balm! Yep, you guessed it, smells like strawberries :P (£1.50).

 I never used to be a fan of lipglosses, they used to get everywhere! On my clothes, on my work, on other people :P But back then, I was jeuvenile and didn't appreciate my makeup as much. Anyway, these Plumping Lip Glaze products are brilliant. It is double ended, one with a clear glaze which gives an instant fuller lip look and the coloured glaze. The application brush works perfectly in the sense that when you go to apply the glaze to your lips, there isn't a massive gunk on the end of it. The test mark on my hand to the left is the colour 'Fire Coral', to the right is 'Baby Doll'. These glosses provide the right amount of moisture and colour without your lips looking like they're covered in glue! A definite must.(£1.50).

 My lipstick collection is quite unbelievable. When I was younger, I remember saying to my mum "I will never be a girly girl and wear lipstick"...
For my fair skin, these colours a fabulous, really compliment each other. From left to right, 'Flirtacious', 'Seductive' and 'Charming'. Perfect considering Valentine's Day is tomorrow! The product has a smooth conditioning feel to it making the lips all lovely and smooth and when I tried kissing my hand, there was hardly any residue! So pucker up people! Surprisingly, there is a subtle minty smell to the lipsticks making them all that more appealing. (£1.50).

 These All Over Cover Sticks are genius. Definitely be taking these on a night out! The far left is 'Light Beige', I use this to treat my dark circles underneath my eyes and the odd blemish on my cheeks, works like a charm! It provides great coverage without being heavy or cakey. 
The two on the right are 'Pink Lemonade' and 'Spotlight'. These are used to brighten the eyes, lips and face. Personally, I would only use the Pink Lemonade as a blusher. The contrast between it's colour and my fair skin would be too much for my eyes. As a blusher, the product gives a soft rouge colour, you don't need to apply a lot, just a small hash tag (#) on the cheek and blend.
Spotlight is a god send. I recommend for the fairer skinned ladies out there! I used it under my eye and instantly you could tell the difference. It was like an immediate eye lift! Sorts out those dark circles no problem. With the smooth texture, it's really easy to blend with a brush or even your finger.(£1.50).

This 32 Piece Eyeshadow Palette is perfect for people on the go or to take on holiday. It has a sleek compact design and contains a mirror and dual ended eyeshadow applicator. The colours are gorgeous; there are shades for everyday simple looks and shades for a more dramatic impact (I cannot wait to try out the light aqua colour on the bottom row!) Each one has enough shimmer for that little bit of sparkle around the eyes and you don't need a lot on the brush to get the colour onto your skin which means they should last a fair while! The only thing I would change about this product is the brush. I prefer to use a bristle brush rather then a sponge applicator for eyeshadow but that's just me. (£6.00).

Overall, I am majorly impressed with e.l.f cosmetics. I will definitely making another order for summer time products! The prices are very reasonable, they often have sales/discounts and the range of products is absolutely fantastic. Something for everyone!

I hope you have all had a lovely day!

Love love xx
