I don't want to focus 100% on nail polishes in my blog, I want to talk about makeup, skin care & other things as well!
So for my first non-nail polish related post, I decided to share with you swatches of some new products Elf has recently released, as well as my opinion on these products!
I love Elf products for a) their super affordable price, and b) their great quality! I'd say 90% of what I have ordered from them I am very happy with, and I have ordered a lot. These were included in my second (but huge) order from Elf, which I received early last week.
I love bright eyeliners, so I decided to try out their new Shimmer Eyeliner Pencils (which come in fantastic colours, by the way!). I also wanted to try out their new $1 lipsticks, but when I went to order, only one was left in stock.
Shimmer Eyeliner Pencils: Iconic Ivory, Precious Pink, Blissful Blush, Bodly Bronzed, Grassy Green, Twinkle Teal, Plum Passion
Lipstick: Voodoo
I skipped out on the gray and black liner pencils, since I already own enough grays&blacks
Iconic Ivory, Precious Pink, Blissful Blush, Bodly Bronzed, Grassy Green, Twinkle Teal, Plum Passion, Voodoo
I am very, very impressed with the Shimmer Eyeliners. I've worn these many times since they came in the mail, and they last all day. I've worn these with and without eye primers, outside all day in humid weather, and even in a hot tub. They don't budge. They fade a tiny bit if I wear them for the entire day, but they don't smudge on me at all!
They are a little shimmery, but not overly shimmery. Iconic Ivory, Precious Pink & Blissful Blush are definitely the most shimmery out of the bunch, while the others are more dull, yet still vibrant colours.
(I don't wear eyeliner on my waterline, so I haven't tried these on my waterline. If you're looking to use these on your waterline, I don't know how they hold up).
As for the lipstick, this colour is super pigmented! It applies really smoothly, and smells amazing. It reminds me of these little white candy dog bones I used to get in those really old Puppy in my Pocket toys.. does anybody remember those?? I used to be obsessed with them when I was little!! And the kitty ones! Those candy bones were so good!! Haha.
Okay anyways....
This lipstick wears well for $1 as well, it's not the longest lasting, but it doesn't smudge either. Once it fades, it gives a nice lip tint.
All of these products sell for $1 each on www.eyeslipsface.com
In the near future, I will post 3 lists of my top 5 favourite elf makeup products, essentials & nail products, so if you're interested in elf products, stay tuned for that! :)
