e.l.f Studio Duo Shadow and Liner Stick




I bought all the colors during a sale for $1.50 each. I was very pleased with them. This is my second shadow stick product, the first being Cover Girls Smokey Eye Stick which was hard/waxy, little to no color payoff and faded in minutes.

Pearl/Glow
Glow defiantly did not have pink tones like what I saw on the website. It's pretty much an off white beige with a  pearl finish with specks of glitter. I was weary of it being both white colors, but I love it!
The shadow part is a GREAT color for highlighting the inner parts of the eyes, cupids bow, and face highlight. It's my favorite out of the bunch. I like it more than elfs all over color/shimmer sticks, shimmer pallete ect.
Basic/Brown
I was expecting more of a buttercream than a buttery gold. It's a nice color, very pearly. I like soft golds. The liner is metallicy but not too much.
 Really soft and but smudges. Fades and is really glittery.
The texture is decent. I plan to play around with this more.


Smoke/Black

Dark grey with lots of shimmer and pearl. Feel's oiler than the other colors and faded the fastest on me, yet "stained" my skin in a way. The liner is matte and smudges, however I find it lasts longer than the other eyeliners I've tried from elf.



Pros:
True to color(Exception being "Glow")
Pigmented
Lasted me a good 3 hours.
Non-creasing
Better than I expected

Cons
Smudges/ messy
Finish has glitter while being pearly or metallic
"Smoke" faded into oil.
Not much product

e.l.f Essential Plumping Lipgloss

I bought these in nearly all colors, and frankly they are almost all the same color! All are either shimmery/metallic/glittery, I did not expect that. I'm still trying to figure out which one I like, however the clear plumping gloss smells terrible.
