Hey gals! So I got paid the other week so I bought a bunch of new makeup from ELF. I ended up getting 20$ worth of products while they were doing a special so I got 20% off each product! They are still doing a special for those who missed the deal it's 50% off ELFs birthday favorites. Anyway I got 2 lipsticks, 2 powder foundations, 2 brushes, an eye palette, a brow mascara and a setting spray! Pretty good for 20 bucks don't you think?
Here is me UNBOXING everything immediately on delivery and REVIEW!
E.L.F. Studio Pressed Powder
I really liked this! It works well and keeps my face matte. The first one is Coco and it's the darkest powder that they have. It matches my skin really well which is great because I was afraid it wouldn't. The lighter powder is Almond and it looks a lot like ben-nye banana powder on me xD It's basically my highlighting powder.
E.L.F Studio Makeup Mist & Set
This smells pretty good not gonna lie, it's fresh and has a little aloe in it. It's supposed to seal in your makeup and keep it from moving it around. Personally I have a bad habit of touching my face a lot especially if I'm bored. It helped my makeup stay on longer even with me rubbing my face all day long. It also makes my powder look more natural because if I put too much I look like someone slapped me with baby powder. I spray my face 2-3 times and fan it in a little and it's makes everything flawless.
E.L.F Eyeshadow "C" and Angled Contouring Brush
I have no clue what to say about these. They're soft? yeah. I use the shadow brush for under my eyes by my water line. I could just use a small brush but this works really well. the contouring brush got me looking GUDDD. Both are pretty precise and good for getting small/detailed areas.
I'm gonna be totally honest, I only bought it for that purple shade and because I wanted the deal. The colors are not as pigmented as I had hoped or anticipated. It can be layered up to be really nice but in general, not so much. The primer at comes with it was just a nasty consistency imo so I gave it to a friend. the pencil is also not my favorite but it's a back up for when everything else fails.
E.L.F. Studio Eyebrow Treat & Tame
Ok, now this right here, is the bomb. because my brows aren't bleached it doesn't look as good as it could but the actually product works well. Earlier this summer i had shaved off the ends of my eyebrows and they seemed to not wanna go back. THE TREAT FIXED THAT QUICK! In maybe a week, week and a half my eyebrows were back. it was crazy! The color is pretty well pigmented as well, I got ash and it definitely shows up. I'm so glad I got it but next time I will try a color closer to my actual eyebrow color.
E.L.F. Essential Lipstick
I stated in the unboxing video that i actually hated the shades I picked out. These were the deepest colors they had and when I got them I thought it would be fine but no. Neither of these colors look even remotely like this and looked horrible on my complexion. I believe I tried it with lip liners in darker colors but it still wasn't really working for me. I'm just not a big fan of their lip products...

Mini Sephora Gets
I forget what happened but I think Samantha and I were hanging out and we ended up in sephora and of course I had to buy something.
These are also sephora products, and I'm in LOVE with the intensity of the color in these. the lip color is like a creamy lipstick and it's about the same intensity as Obsessive Compulsion Lip Tar. it's so good and it lasts a really long time even when I thin it out with lip gloss. The pencil it very good as well, I use it with a lip gloss and I'm set. I often don't even use a lipstick over it.
Overall I love what I got and I'm happy.

I needed new concealer so I got this one by Sephora and it's really good! It matches my skin exactly so I can use it on dark marks and pimples but I should have gotten a lighter color for my highlighting so i might need another :D
Overall I love what I got and I'm happy.
