E.L.F. Rundown: The Best, The Worst, and The Wishlist Products

I just wanted to share with you all some of my favourite E.L.F. products, some products I want, and also a few products that just didn't work for me.

BEST/FAVOURITES

False eyelashes

I love these inexpensive lashes!

Eyeshadow Brush 

Although this isn't the best on the market, but it's worth more than what it cost

Clear Brow Mascara

Another good value for your money

Mineral Powder Brush

I would re-buy this again and again. Superb quality

I would re-buy any of these in a heart beat.

WORST

These all were complete failures for me. Some just didn't work, and others were poorly constructed.  Either way, for one reason or another, I highly advise against purchasing these.  I understand they are very cheap, but save the money :)

Eyebrow Stencils

They are poorly constructed pieces of plastic. Save your money, and you can make your own stencils at home.

Slant Tweezers

It was a horrible tweezers and barely picked any hairs

Smudge Eye Sponge

This is not a soft sponge, it is quite hard and actually hurt my eye lids

Eyeliner Brush

The bristles were too synthetic and just didn't evenly apply my liner

Total Face Brush

I wasn't a fan of the poorly constructed bristles

Nourishing Cuticle Pen

It was not nourishing at all, and the actual pen is quite hard so it's not pleasant to put on your cuticles either.  

Cuticle Pusher

The plastic on the tip wore down after 2 uses, and it wasn't sturdy enough to push back the cuticles.

WISH LIST

Definitely looking for to trying these products sometime in the future.

Studio Stipple Brush 

Large Brush Holder

Eye Crease Brush

Studio Contour Brush

Studio Blush in Tickled Pink or Peachy Keen

So that's my list.

What do you love, hate, and want from E.L.F?

E.L.F. Mineral Lipstick Cool Coral

This is my first time using an E.L.F. lipstick, despite having tried several other ELF products. I just don't know how this company does it.  They provide dirt cheap products, and truthfully their packaging and products aren't bad at all.  I recently got this in a swap box, and what better time to review this range than now :)

Reddish (slight coral) hue with warm gold shimmer

The lipstick applied very smoothly.  It was unscented, which works for lots of people, but I love it when lipsticks have a slight scent to them.  I really couldn't knock this product, considering it really only cost £3.50.  I also like the sleek black packaging. This colour is slightly too warm for my cool skin tone (wonder why they cool it Coral Cool? The gold shimmer definitely makes this a warm colour), but now that I tried this range, I won't hesitate to pick up another colour sometime in the future.

ELF's website states...

" All our mineral makeup is 100% mineral based with no parabens, no preservatives and no chemical dyes."

That's definitely good to know.  These lipsticks run £3.50, but ELF constantly runs great sales, so wait until then to pick up these lipsticks.

On a completely different note...

As I write this, NYC is getting torrential rain, and dealing with hurricane like weather.  My thoughts are with all my friends and family (that includes all my online peoples!) a safe safe Sunday. I'm thinking of you all xx

E.L.F Nail Polish in Lilac

ELF has a range of colours and honestly I haven't really tried them, until now.  They cost $1 USD or £1, so of course there's no reason to have not tried them.


Lilac is a sheer lilac purple colour.  It takes 3 coats to make opaque, so it is buildable.  You get 10ml for $1.  This is a nice feminine and delicate colour for those who like that.

E.L.F. brush haul

This is a continuation of my inexpensive drugstore/lower end product hauls.
Thanks to my friend, brainwiggles, I was able to obtain 3 E.L.F. brushes and I'm so happy I got these.
I have been breaking my bank purchasing some hefty priced brushes from Chanel, MAC, and Dior and it's been hurting me lol
I heard about E.L.F. and in the past have tried some of their items, but never their brushes.

I got 3 brushes, the eyeshadow brush, the smudge brush and the powder brush. The first two brushes are both $1 each, the powder brush is the brush from their higher collection and cost $3.

As you can see, the $3 brush is bigger and sturdier construction.  The $1 brush is well....$1,so sometimes it falls apart, but you can just put it back together and it works.  I like the eyeshadow brush, it's great for applying powder all over your eye, but the smudge brush is hard and I don't like it at all.

The powder brush is very soft and picks up powder extremely well.  I can't believe I'm about to say this, but I bought a similar Dior brush and it's not as good as this elf brush (GASP)! For $3, I will continue to keep this brush in my brush collection and will be gifting it as well - it's just THAT GOOD!
