Hi everyone. I completed a separate review on ELF
cosmetics in general in a previous article and said that I would give my
opinion on some of the products I bought from their website, www.eyeslipsface.co.uk.
You don’t have to go and read the other review but it might help in getting an
idea of what ELF cosmetics is all about, if you don’t already know. Right, I’m
going to start off with the ELF makeup that I love and then move onto the products
that have made their way into a very old makeup bag living at the back of my
wardrobe.
Studio Radiance Enhancer in “spotlight”
I love this multi-use highlighter so much! I am a big fan
of Benefit’s High Beam highlighter and this little one from ELF is almost as
good and only £3.50! It gives a distinctive sparkle to my face and I love
dabbing and blending it around my eyes; probably my favourite ELF product.
ELF Complexion Brush – studio range
No wait this is my
favourite ELF product. I actually have two of these brushes now because I used
my first one for blushers, bronzers and powders, as the website instructs you
to, but one day I couldn’t find my regular foundation brush, so I experimented.
I put spots of my foundation all over my face and with a light hand blended it
all in using this ELF brush. Oh my goodness my foundation went on SO well and
made my skin appear very even and smooth. I definitely recommend this brush for
both sweeping and sculpting and as a foundation brush.
Eyeliner and Blending Eye
Brush
Both brushes work really, really well,
especially the eyeliner one which I use to stroke my lids with dark eye
shadows. Only £1.50 each and great quality!
Studio Under Eye Concealer
& Highlighter
I really like the concealer part of this
duo because I think it definitely brightens up my dark circles! However I’m not
a massive fan of the highlighter end as I don’t think it does that much. Will
definitely buy it again for my tired under eyes though!
Waterproof Eyeliner Pen
Another one of my favourite products;
it’s so easy to use and the brush just glides the black over my eyelid with one
smooth stroke. Only £1.50 again!
Elf Shimmering Facial Whip
I got this product in both spotlight and lilac petal and
I can’t really make my mind up about it. Yes it’s good that the whip is for
your lips, eyes and cheeks and yes it does give me a certain shimmer, however
it is so sticky and so hard to blend! I really wish it was a lot creamier and
light; it would probably work a lot better if immediately blended in following
your face being moisturized if your just looking for a glow, but if it’s to go
on after your foundation, powders etc then it’s a bit trickier. It is only
£1.50 though so I say give it a wee go and see what you think.
Studio Corrective
Concealer
This palette of concealers works to an extent. I
definitely think that the green cream helps decrease the redness of my spots
etc and the blue tone seems to help with dark under eyes. Since it’s only £3.50
I would probably buy it again.
Studio Complexion Perfection
Doesn’t work, simple as! I was so disappointed with this
product and after doing a bit of digging on YouTube, found that a lot of other
people were too. It is supposed to “create
a balanced and radiant complexion that is beautiful and healthy”... it does
nothing! You can’t even see it. I think I might just go and bin it.
Studio High Definition
Powder
Same view on this product as the powder
above... didn’t notice a thing; definitely a waste of £6.00!
