ELF Haul - some goodies!!

About a week ago I got an ELF haul delivered to me, I only ordered it a few days before so as always their customer service is great.

This is what I received:

Sorry for the poor quality!

Their prices are just too good to refuse, and with free shipping when you spent over a tenner, I was a happy bunny. All of the products above came to £11.45. Amaze.

I got the eyeshadow primer as my UD one I got with the Naked Palette is nearly out and I want to try a cheaper alternative before splashing out on Urban Decay. The blush brush was simply because I was a bit dissapointed in my Sigma one and wanted to try a cheaper version (and also I needed to get my basket to over £10!).


However, you can see the quality of the ELF brush next to my Sigma brush is seriously poor so I doubt I'll be using it.


Their lipsticks are an amazing price, £1.50 each, and I aready own a few so I know that the quality is pretty good for the price. This one is called Gypsy and looks like this:

Left - no flash, right - flash

The brush cleaner was what I was really wanting, it's for daily cleaning of my Sigma brushes. A little spritz on your brush and wipe off and it's decently clean until my weekly wash. Or as least that's what I'm hoping for.

I've tried it on a few brushes and so far so good!

I got this:
.. because I've actually been wanting to try a mattifying nail varnish for ages! Looking forward to using this.

The bronzer/brusher duo I got because I'd heard it was a dupe for Nars Orgasm/Laguna duo.
 Left with flash, right no flash

I don't have Laguna, but here is the blush compared with Orgasm:

ELF left, Nars right. No flash top, with flash bottom.

Seriously don't know who decided they were similar... they're not at all. ELF is a lot brighter and doesn't have the shimmery gold undertones Orgasm has.

Altogether tho, ELF is a pretty awesome place to stock up on cheap, decent quality make up. I know a lot of people love it!

Have you tried ELF? What is your favourite product?
Let me know!

  1. I haven't tried any ELF products but I'm very tempted! The prices are great :) I like the look of the matte finisher nail varnish and I could do with some of the brush cleanser! x

    1. It seems good so far, and it's good to use on eyeshadow brushes when swapping colours!

    1. It's no comparison to Nars, which is what I bought it for, but it's lovely in its own right!

    1. Omg seriously check them out! They usually have some form of discount code running too. I should have left the link in my post but I'm on my phone and can't do it right now... Just google ELF cosmetics or even Eyes Lips Face Cosmetics!

  9. I have the duo and I am not that impressed. The bronzer is way too dark for me! I like ELF in general though

    1. I've actually not really tries the duo yet, apart from the swatches. I imagine it'll be quite dark on me then too, but I like the blusher anyways!

  11. I have all these products apart from the lipstick, I've been buying the other lipsticks in the black case's!
    With the brush I use it to contour my cheekbones with the bronzer in the duo, it's angled and quite small so fit's in nicely :)
    I've just made another order as there giving away goody bags if you spend over a tenner and you get free delivery, I'll own all the products on there soon I think, addicted! haha :) xxx
