More ELF

I was so happy with my previous purchase from ELF that I have decided to try some more products, I placed two orders lately (had some promo codes, so bought things for my sister, friend and myself). This time I decided to try studio and mineral lines. I also decided to divide the rewievs into 3 parts: First one face, Second one Lips and Eyes and third one brushes and other.

So today we've got Face

1. Mineral- Blush (Ross), Foundation (Light) and Booster ( Tinted)

 


Booster- colour Tinted- perfectly goes with my skin after getting some tan. I'm using Powder Brush to apply it, matt my skin quite well. Gives very natural look, stays around 4h. I've got Small 0.17oz (4.82g)
Price:  £3.50 per 5.1g

Foundation- colour Light- I wasn't sure about mineral foundation at all. And I was surprised in the nice way :) It's very light but still gives a nice coverage, even my under eye dark circles were less visible without concealer , it's just perfect for summer. Face looks very very natural, like you're not wearing foundation at all, and matt well (I've got oily skin) for around 6h (for me it's a good result). At first might be a bit difficult to apply, you need some practice. Price: £3.50 per 2.84g

Blush- Colour Ross- such a nice colour, looks lovely on, stays very long and you need just a small amount to get a look :) I will definitelly buy more shades :) Price:  £3.50 per 3.4g


2. Studio Complete Coverage Concealer






Colour Light- Nice package includes mirror and brush. According to the website should give you coverage during all seasons.Is not bad but not perfect needer, stays around 5h so quite long, but strangling with my under eye dark circles, mineral foundation was better to cover them. Price: £3.50


3. Studio Blush



Colour Berry Merry- really nice, stay long on, easy to use, very difficult to put too much, also package includes mirror. Price: £3.50

So again I have to say good quality for such a small money :)

What do you think about ELF cosmetics?

ecotools make up brushes

At the begginig I would like to apologize for such a long break in blogging, but all of you who are students should understand how it is when you're just about to complite your degree, I had exams, then dissertation and no time at all, so again I'm very sorry about that.

Today I would like to share with you my opinion about ecotools make up brushes. Previously I had some cheaper brushes, but I decided to buy something better as a birthday gift for myselfe. And I have to admite that those are exellent brushes, even my sister said those are the best ones she had ever use, normally she is buying quite expensive ones. Set I bought was Bamboo 6 Piece Brush Set ( £15 at Boots) includes

  • Blush Brush
  • Eye Shading Brush
  • Angled Eyeliner Brush
  • Concealer Brush
  • Lash & Brow Groomer
  • Hemp & Cotton Case
 Because I was so happy with those brushes, they're so easy to use and clean (I wash them in Baby Shampoo) I've decided to buy some more, yesterday I ordered:


Foundation Brush





Bamboo 5 Piece Brush Set 

which includes:

  • Mineral Powder Brush
  • Concealer Brush
  • Eye Shading Brush
  • Baby Kabuki
  • Hemp & Cotton Zip Cosmetic Case
I'll let you know, how do they work when I get them :)
