Eyes Lips Face (ELF Cosmetics)

Looking back on my previous posts, my love affair with ELF can be traced back to as far as 2007 when I won a competition for some free ELF goodness.  I usually buy from the Australian store but the US store often has the better deals.


The goodies start from $1.00 and many of the cosmetics can rival the big brands in terms of quality. And since everything is only a couple of dollars each, I tend to go a little crazy when ordering.

Here is a breakdown of my latest order:

Plumping Lip Glaze:  Plum Pout

I will never try another lip shade, this is the one for me!  Also one of the most popular shades as it frequently sells out.  This is suitable for olive skinned lasses with cool undertones.

Shimmer Eyeshadow:  Metal

Sparkly, sparkly eyeliner.  I figured this one was worth a try.  It has now become my everyday eyeliner, beating Natio and Revlon.

Studio Pigment Eyeshadow: 'Naughty Noire'

Continuing my sparkly kick, I wanted something wildly dramatic for 'smoky' eyes.

Essential Brightening Eye Colour: 'Silver Lining'

I have been using this combo since '07.  Perfect for hazel/brown eyes.

Natural Radiance Blusher: 'Flushed'

I usually buy 'Shy' rather than 'Flushed' but it is so popular that it is seriously never available.  'Flushed' actually turned out to be a winner, but I'd still prefer the subtlety of 'shy'.  As soon as it gets back in stock I'm getting a whole bunch.

I also got therapeutic lip creme in 'strawberry creme', an Essentials Total Face Brush, Essential Brightening Eye Liner: 'Black', another 'Plum Pout' lipgloss and Essential Shimmer Eyeliner Pencil - Iconic Ivy and the order still came in under $50. 

I received a free gift for being such a wonderful customer too:

Sparkly nail polish in 'Golden Goddess'.  They know how to make a girl feel special.
