I finally try eyes,lips and face...and hate it.

So after months of debating whether or not to try the range of 'elf' cosmetics i finally buckled and decided to dabble in some of their most raved about items, I went for the studio bronzers. My collection is lacking in bronzers so i thought this would justify my purchases...

maybe?

Although they are affordable i still played it safe! How boring, and went for just two products. Anyhow here's my verdict!

I went for the warm and golden just because these are the two I've heard the most good things about. Now as you can see they each consist of four different shades. Great right? WRONG!!
For someone who gets a little brush happy i ended up picking far to much of one colour each time and ended up with different colour cheeks, nose, chin and forehead. I use bronzer to 'pull' all my makeup together so having it all different colours patched on my face was a no no. Obviously this problem is just me and my clumsy application so it didn't effect my opinion.

The fact that it was packed full of shimmer however did! I just found them both very cakey and shimmery. I've come to the conclusion that maybe a matte finish is best when it comes to bronzers. I've just swapped my foundation to avoid the disco ball look so do i really want to put a product all over my face that gives me this?






I hate to rule out an entire cosmetic company by having a poor opinion on just a few of their products. Maybe I'll try a couple of their mineral lipsticks before i completely dismiss the brand altogether. I've had my eye on Runway pink, Natural nymph and nicely nude for a while so maybe this could be the perfect excuse to get my mitts on them!! For research and review purposes only of course:) pah.

Until then i hate to say it but my opinion of elf so far is a bit blah!

Lips, cheeks and face bargain buys!:)

As you guys know I'm a bit of a slave to fake tan ( st moriz & xen-tan ) which are great!! Just one problem...Makeup. For foundations i just mix a few different ones on the back of my hand to find the perfect match for my colour at that time. However I've always had to pay out for single concealers which is just really irritating considering i can range from an nw20 - nw35 in m.a.c and ivory to bronze in drugstores such as boots and superdrug which as you can imagine can be a little pricey!

Hitting pan! help!!

Today was a sad sad day for me... I've hit pan on one of my favourite everyday eye shadows.

Not only have i hit pan but its one of the beautiful shades and what appears to be a rare shade that came in my 28 neutrals palette.

I'm sure you can work out which one it is!:)

I say rare because despite it being what you would think would be an easy shade to find absolutely anywhere it turns out that its not. I'm thinking of taking the palette out with me and trawling up and down the isles of boots and superdrug before i find something that is similar enough to satisfy me...but to make life a little easier i thought id ask for suggestions on here first. I know macs bare study paint pot is quite similar but i would prefer a powder formulation.
