Elf
is one of the few high street beauty brands that I haven’t
tried, but after reading numerous reviews and blog posts about it I was
intrigued to check out their website and see what they had to offer.
There is a detailed description and a selection of photos provided
for each product on the site so you can see clearly what the item looks like
and have a good idea of the colour, there is also an option to read other
customer’s reviews which I always find helpful.
Elf stands for eyes, lips, face so as you can imagine there
is a wide selection of products to choose from and they all come in cute, chic
packaging which I love. The brand really defines the term budget beauty as
prices start from as little as £1.50 and most products are under £5. The
shipping and delivery costs are also very reasonable which is something I
always look for when shopping online.
My favourite buy has to be the Shimmering facial whip. I
don’t usually use a highlighter when applying my make-up base but after trying
this it will definitely be part of my party make-up routine. It creates a
gorgeous glow – especially when applied on the apples of your cheeks along with
a peachy-pink blush. I also love the Eye shimmer palette. I adore make-up with
shimmer and sparkle and after lip gloss; eye shadow is my favourite product. I
love trying new looks and blending different shades and colours, the shades in
this palette are so pretty and blend really well to make eyes pop out.
Shimmer palette.
I was slightly disappointed with the Mineral lipstick. The
packaging and texture of the lipstick are both fabulous, and the stick is moisturising
and easy to apply but the colour disappointed me. I chose shade ‘Party Pink’ –
which on the website looks like a medium pink tone somewhere between baby/nude
and bright pink which is the shade I was looking for. Unfortunately it’s duller
and darker than I was expecting so I’m not too sure about it, but I guess this
could change after I wear it out with a full face of make-up? I wish I had chosen
another shade now as there are so many pretty ones! Ah well there’s always next
time…
As
a whole shopping with Elf beauty
was a good experience and I certainly enjoyed the (pretty
long) time I spent looking through the pages on their site and being spoilt for
choice over what to buy. This is always a good sign as variety is the spice of
life! I was impressed with the fast delivery, low prices and the fact that the quality
of the make-up is just as good – if not better than some more expensive brands
that I have tried. I strongly recommend Elf and I will definitely be shopping
with them again.
Have you tried any Elf products before? Can you recommend
any other good beauty brands to try?
