I brought my 1st ELF products a while ago and i can't even remember how i found out about the sitebut i though i would let you all know about what i thought of the products. All their items are around £1.50 and £3.50.
I got: a Candy Shop Lip Tin in Candy Fix. Nail varnish in Chocolate. All Over Colour Stick in Toasted, Concealer Brush, Shieldong Hydro Tint SPG 15 in Tone 3, and an eyeshadow in Moondust. All these are from ELF standard range, none are from the mineral or studio collection, which i can't wait to try next.
The candy Shop Lip Tin is a gloss, the colour was pretty sheer and the texture wasn't great, i feel bad complaining when they are such cheap items but i personally wouldn't reccommend it.
I went for the nail varnish in chocolate as i thought it would be a colour totally different to ones i already have. The shade is a chocolaty brown which you may like depending on your taste personally i don't like it and havn't used it properly to comment on stayng power, however when applied to my nail (to test the colour) it did go on smoothly and i think 2 coats would be required.
The all over Colour Stick is a good product it can be used on eyes, lips and cheeks the colour toasted does look pretty on the eyes but if too much is applied it does crease, however it is great for quick colour. Toasted doesn't suit my lips but does have a nice creamy texture. For my cheeks id use this colour as a highlight rather than blush, and when used sparingly it does create a nice bronzed glow on the cheek bones, blends easily and adds a suttle shimmer. Overall my favorite product of my ELF collection so far.
The Shielding Hydro tint blends easily and adds colour to the face, it doesn't provide much coverage and is similar to a tinted moisturiser. Dry on the skin nicely howver i can't imagin this lasting through a long day at work, but for a quick bit off colour at £1.50 isn't to bad it just depends what you want from a foundation type product.
The concealer brush bristles are very small and are not suitable for under eye concealer but are better at precision concealing. I personally prefer this as a lip brush. Haven't used it a lot but so far no shedding.
Lastly the Eyeshadow in Moondust is a shimmer brown with a hint of bronze. At 1st the colour appears quite pigmented but easily blends to almost nothing, it is possible to pack on the colour to keep the pigmentation but this wont last all day, this eyeshadow works best over a base and looks nice over Toasted. (Sorry there's no pic, i just couldn't get it to photograph clearly)
That was my 1st expeience of ELF i used a free shipping coupon code which they seem to do quite often and it arrived within a good time, i am now looking forward to try their Studio and Mineral range. :)
