Mini ELF Haul and Swatches

So I recently made a small order on eyeslipface.com because they had free shipping (6.95). This is post will show you everything I got, first impressions, and some swatches 

As you can see, some of the stuff are not in their original packages because I was too excited to wait until I got home.

So the first thing I opened was the HD blush in Headliner. I've heard good reviews for this product due to the great pigmentation. However when I opened mine up, there was some kind of oil all over the pumper thing. You can also see a line where the blush is dried out.

I a bottle of nail polish next to it for size comparison because the product looks so much bigger online. 

When I tried to get the product it, it came out very liquid-y and watery 

It is indeed very pigmented but something I noticed right away was the smell. It's pretty awful. I haven't tried this product on my face yet but from the liquid-y texture and disgusting smell. I won't be repurchasing this any time soon.

The next product I was

 excited for was the Conditioning Lip Balm SPF in Romantic Rouge and Nice & Natural.

The first thing I thought when I saw it was that it is very big. 

Here is a picture of it next to the Elf Cream Liner. That was actually the size I thought it would be similar to. The big packaging is pretty unnecessary because you can see that there is a lot of clear space.

 

Here are some pictures of how they look and some swatches.

Edit: just found out something

Not sure what the point of this is for but of you don't like the packaging you can just take the actual product out and put it in another container.

I really like the texture of these balms on my lips. They aren't heavy but is a bit tacky and is perfect for everyday use. They gave a good amount of tint for a balm but not as pigmented as the product Im gong to show next. One thing i didn't like was the smell. It isn't as bad as the HD Blush, but a smell I still would not prefer. They are also cery hard to open and close, theres like a 60% chance I break my insex finger nail each time i try to open them. Overall I might repurchase these and even try some of the other colors. 

The next product is another balm. This is actually what made me start browsing the ELF site. It is the ELF Essential Lip Balm Tint. I heard it when I was watching one of Emily Noel's videos and decided that I had to try it. So the color I got was grapefruit. I wanted to get Nude as well but from the swatches I saw, it looked really brown.

All I can say is Wow.

That was my first reaction when I swatched it. It has a very smooth jelly-like feel to it. It's also the perfect size for your bag unlike the Studio Conditioning lip balms. I can smell light hints of vanilla but some may say that there is no scent at all. The pigmentation is amazing. I honestly wish I ordered the other three. On my lips it feels smooth and buttery. It also looks like I put jelly on my lips, shiny and crease less. I definitely would repurchase.

The next thing I chose was the Elf Essential Lipstick in Classy. This was actually an impulse buy because its only a dollar and I've heard that its a dupe for MAC Angel. I don't own Angel but I love collecting colors that are dupes for high end products.

I don't know why the color looks so different from each other but here's a hand and lip swatch for a clearer look.

Natural Lip Color

Elf Lipstick Classy 

This lipstick is very smooth and easy to apply. It's pretty pigmented but still need a feel swipes to get it opaque. One thing I didn't like was the packaging. The cap was super easy to pull off. Like no effort at all so there's a possibility it may fall off if you put the lipstick in your big. It was also quite hard twisting the lipstick up. It was like squeaking as I twisted it up.

This lipstick color is not very flattering on so I would not repurchase this particular color but I may reconsider if any if the other colors interest me.

The last face product I got was the Studio Maximum Cover Concealer. 

This is how the opening looks. I actually thought that the opening would be smaller. Kind of like the shimmering facial whips. Because the opening is so big, it will be hard to control how much product you want. Sorry no actual swatch because the color I chose might be wrong for my skin tone. The sun also set so my yellow lighting will effect the swatches.

The last things I got was the ELf nail polishes in Green Machine and Desert Haze. Those two will be featured on another post for more swatches. And the ELF Studio Small Stipple Brush. I actually chose it to use with the concealer.

Desert Haze on thumb and Green Machine on pointer finger. One

Coat each. Super pigmented.

Great packaging on the nail polish!

This was a pretty long post. My favorite product out of everything was the Essential Lip Tint and my least favorite was the HD Blush and the Lip Conditioner in Romantic Rouge just because I thought there would be more pigmentation.

Thanks for reading! If you have any questions don't hesitate to email me. 

Sally Hansen Complete Manicure in Royal Blush

Nail Polish of 9/13

This is a very pretty light pastel orange color with slight tones of pink. It's very pretty in the bottle, but I don't really like it on my nails. It makes my nails tanner than it really is. A plus if you want to look tan.
