Just some notes: All these products were bought with my own money. The opinions in this blog are my own. This shipping on this product was pretty average for standard shipping. The package arrived eight days after I ordered, including processing. Nothing was broken or damaged.
E.L.F Studio Flawless Finish Foundation:
My favorite thing about this product, other than the incredible price of $6, is the smell. I'm a person who is huge on scent. I don't care how expensive or amazing a makeup product is, if I don't like the smell I'm not going to put it on my face. This, however, has a great smell, so plus points there. I bought the porcelin shade, and it blends with the skin really well. Usually the lightest shade, for me anways, is too pale but the next shade up is too dark. So I was really pleased when this blended perfectly in my skin. The formula is really creamy and smooth; it doesn't cake up too much. Another plus for me is it's container, it comes with a pump, a huge love of mine! Plus the container itself is fog glass, which feels so cool when I press it to my skin. My negative on this is that it isn't an all day long lasting foundation. I found that it fades about seven hours after application, more so when you're sweating. But other than that, it's great. I would give this product 4 stars out of 5.
E.L.F Mineral Eyeshadow Primer:
I would have to say that this shadow primer is my favorite of all these products. It goes on creamy and keeps my eyeshadow lasting all day long, it even makes it hard to take off at night. I am in love with this primer and it's price. I have tried alot of different eyeshadow primers, even bigger names like Urban Decay Primer Potion and Two-Faces Shadow Insurance, but I must say that this primer matches equally if not beats all of them. The colors show up and brighter and more pigmented with this on. With mineral eyeshadow, which is what this was designed for, it is twice as good. With a price like $3 I have to give it 5 out of 5 stars.
E.L.F Studio Complexion Brush:
This has definitly become one of my most versatile brushes. I use for my foundation, blush, bronzer and more. The brush has some of the softest and fullest hairs ever. A quote from my haul video that included this brush "like heaven on my face"--which is true. I adore this brush. The handle is one of my favorite parts, it's shaped perfectly so that my hand fits around it. It hate when I find great brushes with pathtic handles. This is not one of those brushes. I have washed it three times and not a single hair has fallen out, that's a another major good point. I have nothing bad to say about this brush, so another 5 out of 5.
E.L.F Studio Powder Brush:
Like the Complexion Brush this brush has three things that I like; soft hairs, can withstand three washings without any damage yet, and the handle with a great grip. This was my first time using a flat top brush and I must say I am so in love with it because of the springy shape and how "bouncy" it is. I was terrified, when I first washed it, that it would lose it's shape after I was done but it maintained it perfectly. My only problem is that while it's a powder brush I don't like to use it for powder foundation. It nice and all, but I don't think it covers a big enough space. I like to use it for blush. So, because of that small problem, I give 4.5 out of 5 stars.
E.L.F Essentials Eyeliner:
I just noticed that my eyeliner I received looks nothing like the picture on the website, oh well, it doesn't bother me. I think this is an okay everyday eyeliner. It has a thin brush that is good for applying it and winigng out your eyeliner. The formula isn't thin, I don't have to go over it twice to get a good color. The color is dark the first time you apply it. My only complaints against this are that it does fade out after a while, you'll probably half to re-apply every six hours or so. The other complaint it that when you first put it on it takes a whiel to dry. My old eyelienr dried really quickly so when I first start using this I smeared it the first couple days without meaning to. Other than those two things it's great for everyday use, and you can't beat the price. So I give it 3.5 out of 5 stars.
E.L.F Studio Contouring Blush and Bronzing Powder:
I love this stuff. It's honestly one of the best dupes I've ever found. This product is a great dupe to the NARS Laguna and Orgasm duo. I'm so glad I saved my money and went for this cheap alternative. Both of the colors are highly pigmented and easy to apply. At first I thought the bronzer was going to be a bit too dark for my skin tone but as long as I apply it with a light hand it's okay. And the blush is the prettiest pink with light shimmers I have ever seen. I wear these two things every single day. So 5 our of 5 stars for it.
