E.L.F haul


When i heard about the 60% sale on elf, i had to go and have a look and of course i ended up buying a bit. I bought 9 things for £14! so here it is, my elf haul :)

All over Colour Stick in Persimmon

I already have one of these in Spotlight which i use as a highlight. i love it so much i decided to buy another one to use as a blush. I have used this a few times and so far i like it although it is very shimmery. 


Mineral Lipstick in Beautiful Berry
From the name you'd think this would be a true berry colour. No, its a sheer purple colour. It's hard to explain what colour it is but it is nothing like the colour on the box or the website. I wasn't too pleased with this but i do really like this lipstick.



Jumbo Eye shadow Stick in Turkish Coffee
I really like the look of brown eye liner so i thought i'd pick one up. I know it is an eye shadow stick but i have used it as both eye liner and eye shadow and its great either way. It blends lovely too.


Jumbo Eye Shadow Stick in Like A Boss
Lately i find my makeup is really neutral and boring, so i wanted to add a pop of colour to my eyes. In the photo below it looks almost black but i can assure you it is bright blue. I can't wait to try this out.


Shimmer Eye Liner Pencil in Twinkle Teal
In this little haul i went a bit mad on bright colours. I don't actually know why i bought this but i'm sure i will find a use for it.



Baked Bronzer in Los Cabos
I wanted a new bronzer as i'm getting a bit bored of my normal one. This is okay but its very shimmery and you cant make a mistake with this buy i'm sure i will learn to apply this right.



(top to bottom) Lipstick - Beautiful Berry, All Over Colour Stick - Persimmon, Jumbo Eye Shadow Stick- Turkish Coffee, Jumbo Eye Shadow Stick - Like a Boss, Shimmer Eye Liner Pencil - twinkle teal.


Lash & Eyebrow Comb
I just needed a new one of these so i picked one up. simples


 I also got an angled contour brush and a small angled brush. They were both from the eye section so i thought the contour brush would be good for the crease or to blend but it is way to big for eyes but way too small for face so i'm a bit stuck on what to use this for (if you have any ideas please let me in the comments below). I have used the small angled brush for filling in my eye brows, it's is just what i was looking for.



So that is it for my ELF haul, hope you enjoyed it.
