Elf Products Review!

Hey guys!
So some of you wanted to know some more about elf products and what to get in this range!

So Elf Cosmetics is found in Kmart for those in Australia or for those in New Zealand, they are found in Farmers I believe. Or online at www.elfcosmetics.com.au

Elf is an Australian brand so cannot be found in America or ship internationally on their website, sorry guys!

I love elf cosmetics because they are so so so cheap and such good quality for the money!

Okay, onto the products!

This product has been an absolute love of mine lately! It is definately becoming a holy grail. I dont have too many holy grails so it has to be preeeetty good to be one!
So it is the Elf Mineral Face Primer. 



It comes in clear, tone adjusting green, brightwning lavendar and radiant glow.
It says on the bottle it "Fills in fine lines, and creates a flawless finish" and it really does!
I got the tone adjusting green one, because i have a lot of redness on my cheeks and above my eyebrows (weirdest place!) and to get rid of red you get something with a green undertone to conteract that.
When i put the primer on I had to go check my food in the oven and when i came back I was so shocked that there was hardly any red on my cheeks anymore! It is so soothin to out on. It has a similar texture to my Mac Prep + Prime,  which is sort of a greasy type feel you could say? But not in a bad way! It feels moisturising too.
Not only do I use this as a primer, but if I plan on not wearing make up out somewhere but want to get rid of the redness, I just pop this on and it tones down the redness really well! Even though it is green it does go on clear to your skin so dont worry!
I also love to mix. So I sometimes mix the tone adjusting green, brightening lavendar and radiant glow. It makes your skin look amazing! And is also an alternative for the Stila One Step Correct, and you save around $20-$30.

The downside to this though is how much product you actually get! If you buy just one, there is only enough product to last you 2 weeks if you use it everyday like I do. But the good thing about it is that its only $12 each!

My next almost becoming holy grail is the Elf High Definition Undereye Setting Powder and mine is the the colour? Sheer.



This little pot is great for setting your concealor! I think its only about $5? And it looks like a tiny bit of product but I have been using this for four or five months, every single day and it still doesn't look like I have made a dent in it.
The only small problem, that some of you may not like, is that it has really small glitters in it. I use a shimmery highlight and blush anyway so it does not bother me at all! But for those who like a really matte make up look with no glitter, I wouldn't reccomend this but the glitters do dissapear through out the day.

Next up elf Eyebrow Kit! Mine is in the colour medium.
If you do not have this in your kit, you are missing out! I love this. I am almost hitting pan! Its very exciting for me haha. Its so compact, so it fits in your bag so easily, also comes with a tiny little brush that fits into the package. A lot of beauty gurus will have this in the make up collection! And its only $8!

There is a gel side, and a powder side.
I don't normally use the powder unless ai am having a bad brow day and i have gaps ill fill them in with the powder but most days just the gel side! Both really opaque, you don't need a lot of product which is awesome!
The gel is really creamy and just glides on! So definately go out and get it! 



Okay next is eyeshadows..
I have a lot of elf eyeshadows, i bought one and i loved it and i bought all of them and now i dont like them anymore.
Elf eyeshadows are not something I recommend. I'm also going to toss in another product into this one too, and kts the elf eyelid primer. Just cause its all about eyes! 
I had these eyeshadows for two weeks and they dried out so quickly! I don't even know why I have them when they are useless but yeah!

I have only used the eyelid primer once since ive bought it. I mainly use my two faced shadow insurance most just because i like it better to be honest. It makes your eyeshadow stick better. Theres nothing majorly wrong with this primer, it does crease but not heaps.




So that is it for my current elf cosmetics products review! Thanks so much for reading guys and there will be a part 2 coming soon because i do want to try out some blushes and foundations! (They didnt have any at the store last time so i couldn't pick any up).

Have a lovely day/night/week/weekend and I shall talk to you guys soon!
