Review - Eyelid Primer

Hello!

Last part of the ELF trilogy (for now).

This is an eyelid primer in the shade 'sheer' (not much of a shade as such lol) and it retails for £1.95. Yes. £1.95. So good I had to repeat myself!

Now, if you know me/read my blog you'll know that I don't really need an eyelid primer. But I wanted to get this for my friend who does like using an eyelid primer and I somehow got one for myself too :)

This is another item that is hyped up in the beauty blogger community so that may be why I ended up with one myself. I've been using it for a few weeks and honestly, I can't tell you if its helpingmy eye make up last longer because mine already lasts for about a week lol but it doesn't make it last any less time which I was genuinely worried about. I remember the first day I put it on and was worried all day my indestructible eye make up might slide off my lids or crumble, but I'm glad to say that me and my eye make up made it home safely that day, and every day since :)

The eyelid primer is presented in a typical concealer like tube and has a doe foot applicator. As with everything I pop it onto my clean finger or the back of my hand. I never apply directly from the applicator if it can be avoided. 

Apologies for the awful camera quality but it was kind of hard to photograph. In the tube it looks like it would be a typical concealer like consistency but the name is actually a good pick - it is what might be considered 'skin coloured' but it is definitely sheer and has a slight (teeny tiny I don't even want to mention it) shimmer. Once you pat it onto your eyelid it doesn't really offer much coverage but from the texture I imagine it works well. People compare it to the infamous Urban Decay's primer potion so for £1.95 you're laughing innit!!

I'm definitely not going to repurchase it for myself but if I get good feedback from my friend (and my mummy, I got her one too!) then I'll update you guys. I'm strangely excited even though I have no real use for this product lol

Review - ELF Powder Brush

Hi Guys!

The other day I shared with you my love for the ELF Flawless Concealer Brush and today I'm sharing with you one of ELF's bestselling brushes - the Powder Brush.

This retails for £3.95 and as the name would suggest, is a powder brush (!).

The online community love this brush and i cannot believe I waites so long to get my hands on one. 

Its dense and has a completely flat top. Its great for patting powder on to set make up, and I also find it useful to give my face a brush to get rid of evidence of my heavy applciation and any streaks/harsh lines.

There's not much to say here because this is as simple as it gets. Just believe me when I say its great. I have a $50 MAC kabuki brush which I've been using since 2009 but I much prefer this now. Also,  I didn't mention this about the concealer brush, but ELF brushes wash really well. No shedding and dries really fast.

Thumbs up from me!

Haul and Review - ELF Flawless Concealer Brush

Hi Guys,

I made an ELF order a while back and will share three of my favourite products with you in the next few posts.

First up, let's talk about ELF. Eyes, Lip, Face. An online make up line (with a new lone physical store somewhere that isn't London....) I've liked this brand for a long time. They are affordable and have some real good stuff, and they often do great promotions like 30-50% off codes.

FYI - 50% off orders over £30 until April 22nd using code 500414

Something I've been trying to get my grubby mitts on for ages is the Flawless Concealer Brush. RRP £3.75 and I love it. 

(Sorry it's dirty - not make up brush laundry day until Sunday!)

Its nice and dense and slightly dome shaped. I use it to sort out my under eye area and for me its the perfect size to get every bright and tidy without taking up too much time and messy up the rest of my face. 

I usually use some powder to dust under my eyes and depending on what I'm Looking like that day I might also use this to apply liquid products.

The only tiny tiny 'bad' thing is that the brush could be a tiny bit softer - sometimes I feel its a bit scratchy? But tbh, for £3.95 of which I paid half, I need to shut up!

I'm fighting the need to bulk buy.....
