Make Up | ELF All Over Colour Stick

ELF ALL OVER COLOR STICK IN LILAC PETAL AND PINK LEMONADE £2.50 EACH

I love the concept of these. One product that you can use on your eyes, cheeks and lips. Great concept but does it live up to it?

Personally I'm going to have to say no. I love these on my cheeks. A quick sweep, blend and voila. Done and looking great, natural and understated. Lips aren't too bad either, I just find it a bit harder to apply as it's a rather large face, but it can be done and again, looks really nice. Eyes on the other hand was just a disaster for me. Sorry but it just didn't work.

Really I did get these for the cheeks mainly so I'm not too disheartened. Lilac Petal is the lighter of the too, not very lilac at all I don't think, just a very pale yellow toned pink with a touch of shimmer to it. Very pretty but not too pigmented. Pink Lemonade wins it for me. It's a gorgeous rose pink that has just the right amount of pigmentation for a gorgeous glow on your cheeks.

For the price they are really nice little products. I've not used Lilac Petal an awful lot as I don't really think it does a lot, but Pink Lemonade is really cute.

Make Up | ELF Lipstick in Sociable

ELF LIPSTICK IN SOCIABLE £1.50

Another from my ELF haul. This lipstick is another one of my favourites. Now at £1.50 I wasn't exactly expecting an amazing quality lipstick and if I'm honest it isn't. It doesn't last too long and it's not the most comfortable of lipsticks, however it's a nice lipstick for the price you pay.

Sociable is a very blue based hot pink with a LOT of shimmer to it. The colour does disguise a lot of the shimmer though. It's a gorgeous colour, a beaautiful warm pink that warms up the complexion and is good for a quick shot of bright colour.

The packaging is cute, but cheap as you'd expect, it's very stiff twisting it up and down but for the price you really can't ask for anything more. If you're one a budget and need a hot pink for your collection this should be your number one port of call.

Make Up | ELF Contour Kit

ELF CONTOURING BLUSH & BRONZER KIT IN ST LUCIA £3.75

Probably my favourite out of everything I got from ELF is this little kit here. I have wanted to try the Nars version of this for a while but can't really justify the price, so when I saw this at the price I jumped feet first. Mine!

It's got two lovely creamy shades, one for contouring and the other for blush. Both perfect for my skin tone. The contouring one is quite dark so apply sparingly or you end up with huge patches of brown on your cheeks - not pretty trust me. Both blend together really easily and nicely creating a nice natural contour. I'm not an expert on contouring, or that bothered most of the time, but this makes it so easy and pretty.

I use the brown in the hollows of my cheeks (very little bit and blend up) and then the blush on the apples of my cheeks and blend up to the hairline.

A really nice product - one that will be on my repurchase list when I run out! A bargain product at such good quality.

Make Up | ELF Jumbo Eyeshadow Stick

ELF JUMBO EYESHADOW STICK IN LITTLE MISS THING AND BALI BOUND £2.50 EACH

I'm a bit curious about this new wave of make up products that centre around crayons. First lips and now eyeshadow. I've used the Rimmel Scandaleyes Eyeshadow Crayons so was curious when I saw these on the ELF website. I've had a bit of a haul of ELF products so be prepared for many reviews to come!

Little Miss Thing is a pale champagne that is the perfect eyeshadow base and highlighter. I've been using this on the inner corner of my eyes and a base as I said above. Bali Bound is a gorgeous sage green. Both have a shimmer finish to them. I've found these really easy to use and blend. At £2.50 each I wasn't expecting them to be fabulous quality but was pleasantly surprised. They didn't last all day but they did last a good few hours without really creasing. They are a creamy formula so I was expecting some creasing but these are really good.

I would definitely recommend these, especially the gorgeous green. I love the colour and for a night out to dinner or something similar it's the perfect colour boost.
