Elf Haul!

I recently purchased a hauls worth of products from ELF with their 60% off sale.
I only spent $36 on all these products including the shipping cost, a great deal!



Essentials Lipstick in Sociable
I really enjoy the essentials lipsticks. They are very creamy and pigmented. The Sociable shade is quite bright, and stains the lips a bit, which is a bonus in my book. 
Essentials Lipstick in Captivating

Studio Matte Lip Color in Tea Rose
The matte lip color is my new favorite lip product. It does not dry the lips, leaves great long lasting color, and is a wonderful buy for 3 dollars max. 

Studio Blush in Blushing Rose

Essentials Tinted Moisturizer (blended in second photo) order left to right, Ivory, Light Beige, Rosy Beige
I wear this tinted moisturizer every day during the school year. I swear it helps keep my skin relatively acne free. It gives very light coverage, and blends very well. It also of course gives the "dewy effect". For a tinted moisturizer it does photograph well. I really recommend this product!

Essential Cream Eye Shadow in Olive

Essential Cream Eye Shadow in Sugar Cookie
These cream shadows are honestly not the greatest quality, but with the proper primer and a shadow to set, really do have a nice effect. I love the olive set, it is much more pigmented than sugar cookie. 

Mineral Lipstick in Rich Raspberry
These lipsticks are wonderful. They are quite pigmented, and last long. I plan on buying all the shades, as I have not been disappointed once with them.  The color is a nice, rich, rosy color. I only use one coat, as it is very pigmented.

Studio Radiance Enhancer in Sunrise
I am not sure the real purpose for this product, it is too thick for a highlighter, and too liquidy for a cream blush. The pigmentation is wonderful, and it blends well. Maybe it will work well on the eyes...?

Essentials Nourishing Cuticle Pen
This product does what it says, nourishes the cuticles. I use it every morning now, and I see a difference after 4 days. The cuticles are somehow...brighter and much softer.

Essentials Bronzer in Matte
I really needed a matte bronzer for summer and to contour with. This bronzer builds quite well and lasts. I do not think this is completely matte, but I see no shimmer on my face when I use it. 
  
Mineral Booster (Large) in Tinted
I love this product. My skin feels like silk after applying it, and the tint is just enough color. This is one of my top summer products. 

Let me know what you think, any feed back is greatly appreciated!! Thanks for reading.
