My haul looks small because after picking up my package from the post office. I took off all the cardboard packaging at the bus stop and threw them away in one of those sidewalk trash bins.
Brushes:
e.l.f Eyeshadow brush - When I took it out of the packaging and ran my fingers through the brush, powder was coming off of it,so I'm not sure if it is like that when it's manufactured or if someone used it before I did. There was some shedding while I was washing it but just a few hairs here and there. It did pick up eye shadows nicely.
e.l.f Defining Eye Brush - The same thing powdery thing happened to this brush as the eye shadow brush. There was less shedding on this than the eyeshadow brush. This brush is great for the crease and blending colors out.
e.l.f Studio Kabuki Face Brush - This brush is sooo soft. I was so surprised by the quality of this brush because I didn't expect it to be that good. Although I though it would be a bit denser but it is still great for all over face powders. This did shed a lot, even before I washed it so beware of that. I like using this all over my face to blend my foundation after using a stipple brush.
Nail Polish:
I ordered eight nail polishes but one came broken (Sea Escape) so I immediately emailed ELF when I found out. They emailed be back less than a day later saying they would be sending a replacement soon.
The packaging on these are impeccable which is why I didn't understand how one of the polishes could break. They individually bubble wrap each polish and then put those into another bubble wrap packaging. Names of the colors are listed below the picture. I will be doing a separate post showing you guys the swatches of these nail colors.
From left to Right: Dark Navy, Copper, Smoky Brown, High Tide, Misty Haze, Plum, Garnet
Eyeshadow and Palettes:
e.l.f Essential Brightening Eye Palette in Day 2 Night - I was so surprised by the quality of these shadows because the previous quads I got were either too chalky or not pigmented. I chose this palette because the entire quad are dupes for MAC eyeshadows. The shadows in this quad are pigmented and smooth. They are not chalky and applied beautifully.
e.l.f Custom Compact - I got two compacts because I wanted to put my own shadow pans in it. The two eyeshadows I got from e.l.f are called Taupe and Aubergine. i thought taupe would be more brown but it comes off as a gold with green undertones. I thought Aubergine looked like Raspberry Truffle from the studio line so opted for the 1$ one instead.
Primer and Tinted Moisturizer:
e.l.f Eyelid Primer - When I first opened it, I thought it was empty because of the opaque packaging and its light feel. I got this primer mainly because I didn't have any liquid eye primers and I've read reviews of people saying this was similar to Urban Decay's Primer potion. So far, it has held my shadows pretty well.
e.l.f Tinted Moisturizer in Apricot Beige - I would say this is the thing I disliked the most out of everything I got. The moisturizer is sticky and orange-y as you can see in the pic below. It didn't even my complexion or cover any redness. I don't understand how so much people can like this because I read that people were stocking up at buying tens and tens of it because it was their favorite product.
Concealers and Powder:
e.l.f All Over Cover Stick in Apricot Beige - Apricot beige is actually fair for this concealer. I totally ignored the parentheses on the side when I was adding this into my cart. This is very creamy and smooth. I did not expect it to cover match but I think this would be a fantastic concealer if I actually got the right color.
e.l.f Under Eye Concealer and Highlighter in Light - The coverage for this concealer isn't so great but I like using it when Im going for a more natural look and want my dark circles to show. It brightens my undereye area which helps make me look more awake and my skin more vibrant. The highlighter could look a tad white if you use a heavy hand but overall I realky like this product.
e.l.f Clarifying Pressed Powder in Light Beige - This is an average powder. I have nothing much to say about this. It does its job but does look a bit cakey of you have a heavyhand.
