First E.L.F Cosmetic's Haul

Hey guys, so lately I have been getting into watching different YouTubers than just sticking to the two or three I religiously watch, and one in particular BeccaRose use's a lot of E.L.F products in her tutorials, so I thought I would have a look on their website. I couldn't believe how affordable the brand is, I only got a couple of things just to try out, to see whether I like E.L.F or not, so I thought I would do a mini haul/review.

The first thing I brought was the matte eye shadow in the shade #D29, this comes in a little pot, with a small brush applicator. This is a nice nude colour, great to use as a base or just for a quick tool if you're running out of time to apply full make-up. This is a matte eye shadow that has no shimmer but is still really pigmented, which was £.188

 I also ordered the eyelid primer in the shade sheer, this is just a creme, clear formula used for priming the eyes before applying eye shadow, it locks in the shadow and works and making it last longer on the lids and making the colour much more pigmented. This retails for £1.50, and comes in a variety of shades.

I find it really difficult to find my favourite concealer which is the lasting perfection one by collection, it seems to sell out everywhere, so I thought I would try one from this range as a sort of back-up when I cant find my favourite. This is the Tone Correcting concealer in the shade Ivory, and this was £1.50.

Next was the Waterproof eyeliner pen in the shade Plum, which is a nice deep purple colour, I always think its nice to go for something other than black, and purple, for me, is still quite a safe colour without being to bold. This goes on very smoothly and last's for ages, even better that its waterproof, and cost £1.50.

Lastly, the product I am most looking forward to using, is the Make-up mist and set, which has Aloe, Green Tea, Cucumber and Vitamins A,C & E. This is in a handy sized bottle, great for your handbag and travelling, especially in hot countries where your make-up needs help to set. This just sprays on the face and keeps your make-up looking fresh the whole day, and this was £3.75.

I am really looking forward to properly trying out these products, and hopefully I have found another Make-up brand I will go back to, because I love their products.

Have any of you used E.L.F products? If so what did you think?

Mini Beauty Haul

So recently I have been pretty stressed out with exams and coursework, after handing my last piece in yesterday, I decided to head into Boots to pick up a couple of things as a reward for completing everything. I thought I would do a mini haul just briefly going through the bits I brought, hopefully giving you guys some inspiration to treat yourself too.

The first thing I brought was the Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation, in the shade 52 vanilla. I absolutely love this foundation, it goes on so nicely, with a medium coverage and is really easy to blend. This is now retailing for £9.99 (which I'm pretty sure has gone up from what it was) but I know I will always re-purchase this as it is my every day foundation. 

                                                     

 As Boots where doing a buy one get one half price on Bourjois I opted for the Felt-tip/ eyeliner called Liner Feutre Ultra black, 24 hour lasting. I haven't tried this yet, but I am a big fan of felt liners, and I am running out of my old one which was a Barry M liner, and thought I would try something different. As this was half price instead of being £6.99 it was £3.49, which in my opinion is a complete bargain, so I am looking forward to giving this a go.

The next thing I brought was a real bargain in the clearance section, and it was the No7 Lip crayon in the shade Singing. This is already a favourite of mine, as when I purchased it I didn't realise it was an actual crayon (crazy I know) and it is brilliant. It comes with a sharpener in the lid, which is really handy, and its really moisturizing and super rich in colour, a complete bargain for only £2.

Lastly, the item that I actually went to Boots for was the Loreal Paris Collection Privee lipstick in the shade Cheryl's nude. I have seen a lot of beauty bloggers rave about this and after the stressful week I had I thought I would take the plunge and buy it. It was quite expensive for a lipstick, costing £8.19, which I think seeing as Mac ones aren't much more, its a lot of money. However I am glad I purchased it as its a beautiful nude colour that goes great with any outfit day or night. I would 100% recommend treating yourself to this lipstick, it will now stay in my bag with me forever.

What beauty bits have you brought recently?
