Dear e.l.f., please stop tempting me with your wares!

Hello crumpets :)

A few days ago, e.l.f. were offering shipping for £1 which is practically a third of the price that they usually charge. Figuring there wouldn't be free shipping for a while, I ordered, especially as they'd got some gorgeous new shimmer eye liner pencils in which had caught my eye over on Jasmine's blog. I needed some more brushes, so an order was quickly placed.


What did I get?
A second e.l.f. Studio Blush Brush (not pictured) as I loved the first one, and needed one to contour with and this is perfect for the job! See how I marked the packet so I didn't mix them up haha!

e.l.f. Studio Eyeshadow 'C' Brush
 I hadn't tried the Studio one and wanted to see the difference between this and my eye shadow brush from the normal range

e.l.f. Studio Contour Brush
 I was going to get another GOSH Round Shadow brush but I figured why bother when I can get this for almost half price?

3 Shimmer Eye Pencils
Top to bottom: Plum Passion, Teal & Gunmetal

Have you picked up anything from e.l.f. recently? Got any recommendations?

  2. Hey!

    i love ELF brushes, but only tried the 'cheaper' range ones. They are such good value! (must buy some more, I seemed to have lost my eyeshadow one :-()

    Will you do a review of the shimmer pencils please? i would be really interested to see what they are like!

  3. Hi! I haven't ever made an order for Elf yet, but I'm now going to... :P And I'm wondering what I should order. I think I atleast try the mineral foundation and some of those shimmer Eye Line Pencils, but I dont know wich ones to pick. So could please do swatches about yours? And do you think they are good btw? :) thanks! -Your follower from Finland<3

  5. Sherrie - I'd definitely recommend the Studio range - all of the Studio brushes which I've tried are fabulous!! xx

    Kat - Hiya! Try the Studio Eye Shadow 'C' brush - it's brilliant and there's no stray bristles falling out unlike the the cheaper range. They feel softer too. I'll pop a review up in the next few days :)

    Chantele - They're brilliant, totally recommend them. I've not tried the teal one yet but I can't imagine it'll be any less fab than the other two! xx

    Shiny - Hi! Oo you'll get hooked ;P They're brilliant! Keep an eye out for my Swatch Sunday post which is going up on Sunday with swatches of the e.l.f. shimmer pencils :D Yes, they're fab! A review will follow shortly. If you want any product recommendations for e.l.f., please don't hesitate to drop me an email :) xx

    Hannah - They're fabulous!! I was surprised at how good they were for £1.50! xx
