e.l.f's Best sellers | Cruelty Free

After my post a few weeks ago....well about a month now...I've been thinking about how it's really been bugging me that  I didn't get on with elf's products. It bugged me because I don't like writing bad things about products and I didn't want to write them off after only trying two products. I wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt and order some of their best sellers to try. 

e.l.f Matte Lip Colour | Tea Rose (left) | Wine (right)

I'm not 100% on these, the colours are beautiful, the pigment is amazing and they go on like butter  but they smudge easily and they don't last long if your eating or drinking. A factor about them that I love though is that they have a built in sharpener at the bottom on the stick. I feel like all lip colour sticks should have a built in sharpener! It is very practical and because it slot into the bottom you wont have a sharpener in your makeup bag making everything mucky! I'm going to keep them and use them but I defiantly wouldn't buy again as there are much better cruelty free lip colour sticks on the market. 


Okay so, I am on board with this eye shallow palette. They blend well, you can build up the colour and you can make it as smokey for subtle as you like. Now, you're probably looking at that photo of my arm and looking at the number two thinking ''There is nothing there'', I can promise you I did a sample test! Its basically my skin tone and the shadows aren't very pigmented (however very easy to build up as stated before). If I'm honest it would make a great all over powder. I would buy this again, unless I found a cruelty free shadow palette just like this one with more pigmented colour.


Here we have e.l.f's Prep & Glow stick (get it?), e.l.f's 16hr Camo Concealer and e.l.f's Flawless Finish Foundation. First things first e.l.f's Prep & Glow. This was a free gift that came with my order. I love the packaging and you get so much product but its not very useful for anything. When you apply it is cold and wet which is just unpleasant. Once you rub it in it just leaves fine little pieces of glitter which is very pretty but does nothing to highlight or give a glow. I would have been very disappointed had I bought this.
Next is e.l.f's 16hr Camo Concealer, again I love the packaging, it is very smart and sleek and looks as though it cost more than what it does. I did make a mistake and bought a shade too light for my face, however I have been using it to contour on my nose and check bones and I love it! It blends well and gives a medium to thick coverage which lasts.
And finally e.l.f's Flawless Finish Foundation, and again I love the packaging and how it looks like a higher brand of makeup . The frosted glass reminds me of the Estee Lauder Double wear foundation. I also surprisingly love this foundation and can not fault it like the other products. Its a light to medium coverage which can be built up, the pigment and shade (Snow) is perfect for my skin tone. It also blends well. I actually like this foundation better than other foundation I have tried and will buy this one again.

So to be different I've left the worst to last. This stuff just does not blend! I look like a character from a panto with rosy cheeks or like I have a bad rash... it looks lovely in the packaging so it's really disappointing... I can see why it was a free gift with the order.

So as conclusion my trys and buys I don't think I will be buying anything new from e.l.f.
I love the foundation (and I will probably buy the concealer and eye shadow palette again, unless I find similar products with a different brand) and will be buying that again once it has ran out.
I'm kind of disappointed I didn't like the products more and couldn't give them a more possessive review.
