ELF Cosmetics Mini Haul


Hey Boos, I recently purchase these two lovely palettes from elf cosmetics. I have to say I was always not so impressed with elf eyeshadows, usually they are very powdery, and chalky, but that was a couple years ago and there formula could have change, so since spring is right around the corner (well, for Florida it is lol) I thought to get these two palette for the pretty pinky and rose colors, which I love during spring.

ELF Studio 83 Piece Essential Makeup Collection Review (Cruelty Free Company)


Hello Boos, Back with another Cruelty Free review on ELF Cosmetics. This product is cruelty free and endorsed by PETA. Hope you enjoy this review, any questions feel free to comment below!

Product Info:
This 83-Piece Studio Makeup Set is an all-in-one palette that includes all of the must-have makeup essentials, so you can create the perfect look that reflects your own personal style.

The Studio 83 Piece Essential Makeup Collection includes:
64 Eyeshadow Shades, 8 Lip Gloss Shades, 4 Blush Shades, 4 Bronzer Shades, 1 Lip Brush, 1 Eye Brush, 1 Face Brush

Eyeshadows
My Review:
This set is very affordable and has lots of choices and great colors, but with makeup, you normally get what you pay for. This Makeup collection was a pleasant surprise though!
Eyeshadows: Some of the more matte colors have good color payoff. However, some of the purples and pinks are more translucent than I would like, but the colors are beautiful.
Bronzers and highlighter: The bronzers are actually really nice. They had three, one matte darker brown, shimmery medium brown, and one slightly more orange color.

Where to buy: $20
Comes in white or black palette

ELF Haul & Review! (Cruelty Free Company)



Hello Boos, Back with another Cruelty Free review on ELF Cosmetics. ELF was having a 50% off sale. So I pick up a few to do a review on. These products are cruelty free and endorsed by PETA. Hope you enjoy this review, any questions feel free to comment below!

Shipping & Processing:
Processing after payment of order was very fast and the next day my package was shipped. It was sent by FedEx Smartpost. Shipping time was horrible, my package ended up getting lost in transit and its was reshipped the next day. It took me about 2 weeks to get my package. Packing of the makeup was very secure and nothing chip or broke during transit. 

e.l.f. Essential Lipstick

Product Info: 
 Indulge your lips with long lasting color and shine. The moisture rich formula hydrates, conditions and softens on contact for silky smooth lips. Instantly beautiful, healthy-looking lips designed, formulated and tested by our professional team of makeup artists. 
 
Colors I purchased: 
Flirtatious
Sociable
Posh
Voodoo
Captivating
Classy
Seductive
Charming
Fearless

Review: 
I love these because even when they fade away, they stain the lips so you are left with quite a bit of color if you did not reapply. But be careful with colors as some are better than the others, packaging may come flawed in some, so get a replacement before assuming that all are the same terrible packaging. All of them stain the lips, all of them has no glitter except Sociable.
 
Where to Buy: $1 

e.l.f. Studio Blush Palette - Dark

Product Info: 
This beautiful blush palette holds 4 gorgeous shades to mix and match throughout the year for a custom blended color. Great for contouring, shading, sculpting, and highlighting, these silky smooth blushes create a beautiful pigmented glow. With a mixture of complimentary matte and shimmer finishes, you can achieve a professional look every time. 
 
Review: 
Holy pigmentation!!!! There are 4 shades total and one has glitter in it but I did not see it on my face (even in sunlight) or my arm swatch. The lightest of touch is needed with these. The colors are all like butter. I personally will wait until summer is in full swing before I bust this palette out. It is gorgeous and I highly recommend. 

Where to Buy:$6

e.l.f. Essential Eyelid Primer

Product Info:
Preps your eyelid for smoother, longer-lasting and crease-proof eyeshadow. The lightweight liquid formula quickly absorbs into the skin for comfortable wear and increases eye color longevity.

Review:
 I was very pleased to try this product that is so inexpensive and have it work so well! I have tried several pricier eyeshadow primers and they have not worked nearly as well as this product.
This primer is easy to apply and dries very quickly. A little goes a long way and it doesn't leave any residue on the eyelid that would effect the color of your shadow.
I would definitely buy this product again!
Where to Buy:$1
 

e.l.f. Studio Lip Exfoliator

Product Info: 
Gently exfoliate lips to remove dry, chapped skin with our Lip Exfoliator! A sweet sugar and smoothing sensation, infused with Vitamin E, Shea Butter, Avocado, Grape and Jojoba Oils to nourish and protect. This Lip Exfoliator treats and smoothes lips for a conditioned and revitalized feel.

Review: 
It improved the look of my lips after about three uses. This exfoliator smells like warm vanilla sugar. Great to put on before lipstick to get a smooth lip. I'm not worried if I accidentally eat some because the ingredients are pretty much natural and it tastes yummy.

Where to Buy:$3
