Elf Haul!

Yes another haul!

And, I went shopping today (again), and you know what that means?!

ANOTHER Haul tomorrow! Yay! If you don't like hauls, sorry! I promise it's not all I do! I've just been shopping a lot lately:)

So I got 7 things, and it only cost me £20!

So here are all the Products I got, (From L - R) Elf Blusher in Candid Coral, Elf Waterproof Eyeliner Pen, Elf eyelid primer, Elf Powder brush, Elf corrective concealer palette, Elf Luscious liquid lipstick in Baby Doll, and Elf hypershine lipgloss in the shade Bubblegum

Elf Blusher in Candid Coral
It's so pretty! It's lovely, it's such a nice blusher, and highlight. Buy it! I think this is definitely one of my favourite cheap blushers! It's about £3.50

Elf Powder Brush
I love this brush! This is probably my favourite thing that I bought from Elf, it's so nice to use when applying liquid foundation, it buffs it in lovely! This costs about £3.50

Elf Hypershine Lipgloss in Bubble Gum
This is lovely, it's a very pretty colour, and it's called bubblegum, and ironically it smells like bubblegum! I like this a lot! It costs about £1.50

Elf Corrective Concealer Palette
I don't like this. I used the green to cover up some redness, and it ended up giving me a spot! Don't like it, and won't be using it! This costs £3.50

Elf luscious liquid lipstick in Baby Doll
I don't like this! It looked so pretty on the website, and when it arrived it looked nothing like the way I wanted it to. It's not a "Lipstick" either. It's a bad lipgloss. Hate it. This costs £1.50

Elf Waterproof Eyeliner Pen
I like this a lot! it's very long lasting, and gives and intense black liner look! Very good for the money! This costed £1.50 too.

So all together quite mixed feelings about these products, and I don't know what to think about the brand as a whole. I think they're better for their eye and lip products rather than the face, as the concealer broke me out.

But, I mean for the price? I can't complain much :)

Another haul tommorow people!

Thanks everyone :)x

Oh, and as soon as I hit 50 followers my contest will start! :)

Make-up Haul/review! Part 2

Hi everyone,

This is going to be about the MAC products I bought recently, I was going to put them in the first blog post I did, but I rambled on so much about those two NARS products there was no room! So here's part 2...

Okay, so I bought 2 products. The first being the MAC Creme Blush in the shade Ladyblush.


It's a beautiful pinky colour. This was the first cream blush I have ever tried, and I honestly will not be going back to powder any time soon. It gives such a lovely glow to your skin, and makes it look really dewy. It looks really natural, and makes you look like you have a gorgeous natural radiance. I love this product so much. At first I was a bit concerned that it was hard to blend, but after a couple of uses that problem quickly disappeared. I would recommend this to anyone.

The next product I bought was the MAC Tinted Lip Conditioner, in the shade Petting Pink


Now, don't worry, I know the picture makes it look a little bit greasy. But it's really not. I bought this first of all because I had heard people saying about how good the MAC tendertones were, and a few people said this was pretty similar. At first swipe I was really disappointed because it looked like it had no pigment whatsoever, but after using it a bit more, more and more colour seemed to show when I used it. If you do pick this up, and you find that its just looking clear on your lips, don't worry! Press it a little harder and after that, the colour will be nice and bright on your lips!

These were my first two MAC products ever, and I have been very pleased with the quality. I'm definitely going to be buying a lot more from them. I have my eye on a Lipstick, and an Eyeshadow. So, you might be getting a quick review on that in the near future!

I have a couple more blog posts organised, and I'll put another one up later today.

Thanks everyone :)

Make-up Haul/review! Part 1.

I only actually bought 4 products all together, but I have so much to say... I thought I would split it into two blog posts :) I will start with the NARS product, and then the next post will be the Mac products.

So I only ordered one thing from Nars, but at the time there was a deal on that with every purchase you made, you got a free mini lipgloss duo. I didn't quite realise how "mini" it really was.

This is the way they looked when I took them first out of the packaging :

(I really like putting in lots of unnecessary photos:) )



It was quite a nice surprise when I saw the little lip duo product there, because I totally forgot about it.

The product I actually bought though was their Bronzer in the shade "Laguna". Why did I pick that shade? Because I thought the lightest looked a little light and the darkest looked a little dark. So it was a nice in between.

(Sorry for the blurry images!)

I'm really glad I did pick it. It does, though, have glitter in it, which a lot of people don't seem to like but to be honest I quite like it! I only apply the bronzer to my cheek bones, my temples, the top of my forehead area (Hairline area.) a very light dusting on the nose, and then on the jawline. Oh, and the neck. It's nice to be even :). So I think it looks nice, but some people might not quite like it. It stays on well, and is now, by far, my favourite bronzer! Highly recommend it!

The Lip Duo had two shades of lipgloss in it, the first being Dolce Vita, and the second Striptease.




(Striptease is on the left and Dolce Vita is on the right.)

Dolce vita is a dark red, with a kind of purple undertone. Honestly? I hate it. But that's just because it isn't really my thing. Striptease, however, is a lovely nude lipgloss that looks lovely against tanned skin. Now that's more like it! I am seriously considering picking up a full sized one, but I am really wanting Turkish Delight... what do you think? Comment below:).

This ends part 1, that was a bit of a ramble wasn't it? Oh well, I have a lot to say about only 2 products. I will put up Part 2 soon!

Thanks everyone!
