Just got in the first part of my elf order. Plenty of nail polishes, studio and mineral lip balm, shadow sticks, and mineral eye shadow, soon to be reveiwed.

e.l.f Makeup Mist & Set

With Aloe, Green Tea and Cucumber.
I've heard countless people complain about how it smells. Honestly I didn't smell anything!
However I did not notice it making any different and the spray is not a mist, it sprays. it says to hold it out 10-12 inches away from you face, but still took off some on my makeup.
This is from the studio line($3) and I bought this on sale.

Would I reccomend this? Nope!
I will, however, continue to use this and see if my opionion changes.

Elf Essential $2 Blush in Flushed

  As you can see its a pinky pink. It might be a little ashy on darker skin tones. This came in a kit I got, and I kinda like it. It's texture is really powdery and kinda messy, but blends well. 

  This was my first blush from elf's essential line, so I can't really compare it to what they had before. Seems like it's the same(I have used blushes in their pallets) except much better packaging, and includes a mirror and brush.

  This is how it looks as a swatch. You can see ho nicely it blends :D It's kinda was a pearly satin finish but looks matte after applied. It can feel a little heavy and even oily despite being a powder.

e.l.f Beauty On the Go Pallets


I bought 3 of the pallets and the 3 pallete case.

The case arrived cracked in half! I emailed customer service, and got a replacement! They've been very good in the past about reshipping my orders. Very prompt and fast.

The three colors I bought were

Tuscany Retreat

Day on the beach

Pretty picnic

The colors were not pigmented and had a horrible texture! I am SO glad I didnt buy a haul from Target! They are very true to color on the site. The blush/bronzers are a nice touch, so for $1.50 each it wasnt too bad. Not sure what I am going to do with a yellow blush though. The lip colors arnt even worth mentioning.

I wondered what would happen if you didnt buy a case but it comes in a thin plactic container, so if youre really cheap and dont use it on the go you can keep it in that!

When applied wet, these colors are amazing! Though it kinda defeats the "on-the-go" if you need to use water.

The small case is very hard to open. I have to use a bobby pin or tweezers to get it open. The mirror does get dusty from the eyeshadows.

Elf 11 peice makeup brush collection

Ive bough better/denser brushes that included more brushes for $20 and $30.
I bought this on sale once for $3(so with shipping that made it near $11) and again for $15
A lot of the brushes included are way to small to use! Though it's rediculously soft <3 I see myself using only 5 of the brushes included though. The brushes were shaped in a "flat" way, probably to make it affordable and dense.




Eyeshadow "C" Brush - A very nice brush. Softer than the Essential line and has not shed for me, even after washing. I use this brush often.


Complexion Brush - I use this for blush and powder foundation. Very soft, pretty dense. Haven't decided if it's my fav or not. It's never shed for me and is still soft after washing.


Small Angled Brush - A nice angled brush, I use this for filling in my eyeliner or lining my eyes.


Small Smudge Brush - Nice for lips IMO but I have different brushes I use, this is a tiny brush.


Fan Brush -  Small fan, I really like the size. It's not dense, nor is it too thin.


 Blush Brush- So cute! its soft and pretty dense. It's small-ish.


Angled Foundation Brush - I dont really use brushes like this. But it's really dense!


Concealer Brush - Too small for me.


Small Precision Brush - Don't know what to use it for, I sometimes try to apply lipstick with it, but I mainly use the tube anyway.


Powder Brush - I have a better brush for buffing, but this brush is pretty nice.


Contouring Brush - for your eyes. It's to hard in my opinion.

e.l.f. Studio Endless Eyes Pro Mini Eyeshadow Palette in Warm

This was a product I've had my eyes set on for a long time! The colors are beautiful, though some are extremely powedery/hard to work with and some not pigmented at all! I bought this on sale for $2.50 instead of the full $5.

It's full of taupe, pinks, neutrals, warm purples, and gorgeous browns and blacks; with a variety of pearls, shimmer, mattes and glitter.

I will list the colors as the appear vertically, from left to right.

First shade is a white. It's the only shade of white in this pallet. It was EXTREMELY hard to use and not really pigmented. Matte.

Nude Taupe. Silky but faded quickly for me. Very nice color though. Matte.

Neutral Rosy Pink. Matte with flecks of glitter. Powdery, but cute color.

Appears to be a smokey grey, but when swatched came out a beautiful Taupe Purple-Brown. Pigmented,matte, gorgeous.
