Elf Haul ♥

It's my birthday today! YAY, I'm 19 now.. I feel old :(.. I will put up a blog post during the week about about my day and the lovely things I have got, so keep your eyes peeled! <3
I recently took advantage of Elf's 50% off sale, I stocked up on old products that I have reviewed before on here such as their liquid eyeliner (review here) & a couple of other basics. Here are my favourites:

Elf Eye shadow Primer

Elf Eye Primer 'sheer' - £1.95

Hey hey hey! Can any of you guess what my most used makeup brand is at the moment... Elf.. I buy far too much from their website! I have been looking for a good eyeshadow primer for a while now. I love the sound of the Urban Decay Primer Potion but I honestly can't justify the price of it so I opted for something cheaper.. Elf to the rescue! I have tried loads of high street eyeshadow primers, none of which have lasted all day and haven't creased. This is the first one I have used that has lasted all day and given my eyeshadow a solid base & made the shades appear more vibrant and true to colour. I have this in the shade 'sheer' Elf do a couple more colours to which would be great for using on their own with some eyeliner if you wanted to. So if you are stuck for an eyeshadow primer then definitely try this one out, it is a complete bargain and my absolute favourite primer so far!

Elf Long Lasting Lustorous Eye shadow Collection (with swatches!) ♥

ELF Long Lustrous Eyeshadow - £3.95 each*

Hello! I was recently contacted by Elf and asked to review their Long Lasting Eyeshadow collection, I was super excited to try out these shadows, they're so pretty!

This collection has such a gorgeous colour range, each shade is wearable and there are no over the top, bright colours which I am really pleased about. They are cream based eyeshadows, each shade is highly pigmented and very shimmery. 

I applied these eyeshadows first thing in the morning with a flat eyeshadow brush and by the end of the day they were still as bright and fresh as they were when first applied, they don't crease or transfer onto my face either which is great. I have been using them on their own and also blended together with a flick of eyeliner to finish off the look. 

To recreate the makeup look above I used 'Toast' on the inner corner of my lid, with 'Soiree' blended into it in the middle of my eye. I then applied 'Gala' onto the outer corner of my eye and blended it into my crease, I used 'Festivity under my lower lash line to make my eyes stand out a bit more, finally I applied 'Confetti' onto my brow bone as a highlight, which worked really nicely! I then finished off the look with Elf's liquid eyeliner (review here). 

I hope you enjoyed this post, let me know what you think of these eyeshadows! 

Favourite Liquid Eyeliner | Elf Precision Liquid Eyeliner ♥

Elf Liquid Eyeliner - £3.95

THE BEST EYE LINER EVER. *ends blog post*

No, okay that's not quite the entire blog post but that is it rounded up in one tiny sentence, this eyeliner is perfecto. I have been using a Maybelline gel eyeliner for over a year, it works well but it is so so much easier to use this little bottle with the brush inside it. I didn't expect this eyeliner brush to be so precise, I can create tiny thin flicks or thick bold lines and it is so easy to remove with a tiny bit of makeup remover on a cotton bud if I make a mistake. The colour is really dark and lasts all day, it doesn't break up and come off if the eyeliner is reapplied on top which is brilliant. It has a lovely high shine finish which looks great when I create a matte eyeshadow look. This is definitely the best eyeliner I have used, it would be brilliant for a beginner, the brush is so thin and easy to use. I highly recommend this product and for £3.95 what can go wrong?!

Elf 32pc Eyeshadow Palette 'Everyday' Review ♥

Elf 32pc Palette in 'Everyday' - £6.95 (was £9.00)

Hellooo!

I have had this palette for a couple of weeks now and I am so happy with it! I have been using it every day and mixing and matching the shades. I have been wanting to try using more purple colours on my eyes recently, I can safely say that all the purple shades in this palette are divine! All of the shadows are highly pigmented and blend into my crease and eyelid perfectly. For the price of this palette I was really impressed with the quality of these eye shadows. There is a mixture of matt and shimmery shadows which all compliment each other nicely. The large variety of colours in this palette mean you can have a dark smoky eye one day, a natural earth toned look the next or if you are feeling a bit daring, a bright pop of colour for spring! This palette would be a brilliant starter palette for people who want to learn how to apply eyeshadow and create different looks all year round. I hope you like the look and sound of this palette, I recommend you grab one now while it is still on offer and add it to your eyeshadow palette collection!

Elf Cream Blush ♥

Elf Cream Blush - £6.50

Hey gals! I recently bought a few things from Elf and took advantage of their offer that gives you their spring collection worth £20 for free if you spend £20 or more! I'm not sure if the offer is still on but you should have a look! I got this studio cream blush as part of the collection, I'm really glad I did because I don't tend to buy blushers, never mind cream blushers. I love this shade, it matches my skin tone perfectly and gives me a nice rosy glow. It is more like a soft mousse than a cream, however, I like this as I find it easier to apply as it applies matt instead of shimmery.

Have you tried any of Elf's cream blushers? xo
