ELF Goodies

OK I said I'd placed an naughty little order with ELF the other day well in typical ELF style it didn't take long to come :)
The major reason I decided to place the order when I did as well as being weak willed ;) was that at the time you got a free lipgloss kit with any purchase - hurray!
They came in a little clear pouch which contained 3 of the £1.50 Super Glossy Lip Shines SPF 15 -From Left to Right - I got Angel - a clear / silver duochrome sparkle, Candlelight - a nice nude peach (I already have this one but I am happy to have a backup) and Malt Shake - brown /pink

If you like quite sticky glosses you'll like these - they also taste of bubblegum which has to be a good thing:)
On to the things I bought - To be honest I stuck to my wishlist and picked up a few things I wanted from that. The first thing was the Studio Kabuki Face Brush - I use a lot of mineral based products so I need a good kabuki brush - at the moment I am using an old Elizabeth Arden one, I do sometimes use the ELF kabuki brush from the mineral line but to be honest I find that one a bit scratchy. I am already a huge fan of the ELF Studio brushes so when I saw that they had realised a kabuki I wanted it - Like the other Studio brushes it is made of a synthetic fibre - Taklon - It feels super dooper soft too - I haven't tried it yet but I can't wait to - thumbs up so far from me (Oh I forgot to add that the lovely Jo from Beautylicious Love has recently bought and reviewed this brush too - don't forget to check her review out x)

I also bought a much talked about lipstick from my wishlist the Mineral Lipstick in Runway Pink - I already have Nicely Nude and Natural Nymph and love them so this colour seemed a nice neutral one to go for - I am very pleased again with this :)

I also picked up another eyeshadow from the Studio range this time in Pebble - again this has a lovely texture, and it well pigmented. It's a gorgeous neutral brown taupe colour :)

Finally I picked up a back up of something that I have, I love and I appear to have lost - also from ELF Studio the Concealer Pencil and Brush in Fair - This is such a useful item and I've really missed mine - it has a pencil concealer at one end with a sharpener lid and at the other end a studio style blending brush - Don't think by being in a pencil format that this is hard and chalky it's not - it's super soft, creamy and blendable - it's a really good product for on the go because everything is there for you and there is no danger of anything leaking - love it :)

So there you have it a tiny ELF haul - yeah I'm weak and I've gone over this months limit but I have some things that I think I am going to like and I've knocked some items off my wishlist xx

  1. Do you think that Pebble would be a good dupe for anything?
