E.L.F. 40% Off Haul

Hey there beautiful people. I went to see In Time last night at the cinema and I really enjoyed it. Have any of you loves seen any great films lately? Now on to today's post. I have been meaning to show you this E.L.F. haul for a while. I got some fantastic products and here they are.




Left to Right: Studio Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 (Porcelain), Link :), Studio Flawless Finish Foundation SPF 15 Oil Free (Sand), Link :) & Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15 (Ivory), Link :)




Swatches As Above




Blended Out A Little


Studio Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 (Porcelain) - £3.50 for 0.7 oz/19.8 g


The information:


This lightweight and hydrating formula is breathable and provides anti-aging sun protection with UVA/UVB SPF 20. Achieve even skin tone and naturally radiant skin with this moisturizing sheer tint of color. The smooth formula enhances your complexion with the nourishing key ingredients Aloe, Cucumber and Vitamins A, C & E.


This tinted moisturizer has a light mousse type of texture to it. Tinted moisturizers don't usually give me enough coverage, but I will give this a chance.


Studio Flawless Finish Foundation SPF 15 Oil Free (Sand) - £6.50 for 0.8 oz/23 g


The information:


Achieve a flawless complexion with the silky smooth e.l.f. Studio Flawless Finish Foundation. The lightweight formula blends in naturally for a beautiful semi-matte finish. This liquid foundation applies easily and lasts all day for visibly brighter and radiant looking skin. Using our Flawless Finish Foundation not only restores uneven skin textures and tones, but most importantly, the SPF 15 protects your skin against harmful sun damage!


I really like this bottle. It looks chic and has a pump dispenser which saves on product. I haven't tried any foundations to date that claim to have a semi-matte finish so this will be interesting to try. I hope this means it will be great coverage without being cakey. It would be great if it has a dewy finish also with it's claims of making your skin look visibly brighter and radiant. It also claims to last all day which will be interesting to test out.


Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15 (Ivory) - £1.50 for 0.42 oz/12 g


The information:


SPF 15 formula helps combat premature aging and protects against sun damage while leaving skin radiant and lightly hydrated. 


This is very pale in comparison to the other two above. Even for me I think perhaps too pale, but I will try it out. I usually try foundations at beauty counters where I can be colour matched as I find it so hard to pick my own, especially online.


I do really like that all of these products have an SPF element to them. I think it's almost becoming expected with most tinted moisturizers and foundations now and that's obviously a good thing.




Left to Right: Studio Blushes in Fuchsia Fusion, Tickled Pink & Mellow Mauve, Link :)




Swatches As Above


Studio Blushes - £3.50 for 0.168 oz/4.75 g


The information:


The soft sheer texture blends into the skin for a silky finish. Designed to be worn alone or layered for more depth. Highlight your complexion with a subtle healthy glow!


Fuchsia Fusion


I love this shade. A sparkly shade with great pigment. A real Barbie blush. I would even use this on my eyes.

Tickled Pink


This shade is very, very subtle. It's light and wearable, but not great if you are like for real pigmentation. I would probably prefer this as a highlight.


Mellow Mauve


This shade is very natural. Great for those looking for a subtle every day blush. I would not consider this to be a mauve shade so I am a little confused by the name?


These all have great packaging that is very sturdy and sleek looking. They have a cute little mirror too for top ups.


 


Left to Right: Studio Makeup Mist & Set, Link :), Studio Kabuki Face Brush, Link :) & Studio Complexion Brush, Link :)


Studio Makeup Mist & Set - £3.50 for 60ml


The information:


Keep your makeup in place all day with a radiance boosting invisible hold. The invigorating mist moisturizes and soothes the skin with key ingredients Aloe, Green Tea, Cucumber and Vitamins A, C & E. The lightweight, comfortable and alcohol free formula improves makeup wearability and prevents color from running or fading. Spray on after makeup application to set makeup in place or during the day for a quick touch up to refresh. After you have applied your makeup spray a light mist 12-16 inches from your face with eyes closed to set your makeup in place or use for a quick touch up throughout the day to refresh your makeup. Let it dry naturally or blot with a tissue to help speed dry.


I have been using this product for quite some time. I believe this is now my third bottle. This definitely helps my makeup last longer. It does have a bit of a weird smell to it which is not that pleasant when you first spray it, but that disappears within seconds. Make sure you do not spray this product too closely as it does feel very wet when you first spray it. When I first tried it I expected my make-up to start running down my face, but this does not happen. This dries within minutes.


Studio Kabuki Face Brush - £5.00


The information:


This new anti bacterial, synthetic haired Taklon brush is softer and more absorbent and can be used with wet or dry products. Be a professional makeup artist and create a flawless look with this e.l.f. studio brush! Our handy and easy to use Kabuki Brushes provide a light to full coverage on your face or body to ensure a flawless finish. The compact brush is perfectly sized to allow for precise and controlled application of bronzer, powder, or a highlighter on your skin.
*Vegan Friendly


This does feel soft, but I am a bit disappointed that I seem to have this weird dip in the middle of my brush. It would be nice if this came with a cover of some sort as this is too short to slot into my make-up brush bag. How do you store your kabuki brushes?


Studio Complexion Brush - £3.50


The information:


This new anti bacterial, synthetic haired Taklon brush is softer and more absorbent and can be used with wet or dry products. Be a professional makeup artist and create a flawless look with this e.l.f. studio brush!
-Creates an even and natural finish
-Expertly sweeps all types of powders across the entire face and sculpts features beautifully
-Use with pressed, loose, or translucent powders, blush or bronzer


This does feel extremely soft and it comes with a cover. I think this will be a great all round brush for blush, bronzer, highlighting and contouring.




Left to Right: Plumping Lip Glazes in Baby Doll, Fuchsia Fanatic & Wink Pink, Link :), Studio Matte Lip Color (Tea Rose), Link :), Studio Lip Stain (Red Carpet), Link :) & Hypershine Lip Glosses in Berry Cherry, Fairy & Joy, Link :)




Swatches As Above


Plumping Lip Glazes - £1.50 for 0.06 oz/1.8 g


The information:


Forget costly Collagen injections, or those painfully stinging glosses, stimulate your senses to a refreshed full perfect pout with e.l.f. Plumping Lip Glaze! e.l.f. proudly presents a revolutionary lip plumper, infusing Natural ingredients that awaken your senses for fresh, volume enhanced, and moisturized lips. This dual sided Plumping Lip Glaze has a tinted color for a subtle plump or a clear gloss that power plumps your lips, use together and instantly feel the lip enlarging effects!


Baby Doll
 

This is a lovely shade, but on the website it looks more pink. This is more of a coral shade.


Fuchsia Fanatic


This is a pretty shade, but this arrived broken. When I went to swatch it it detached itself from the applicator. A bit annoying.


Wink Pink


This is a pretty light pink shade.


These appear to promise bee stung lips so I will see if they live up to the hype.


Studio Matte Lip Color (Tea Rose) - £3.50 for 0.06 oz/1.8 g


The information:


This convenient jumbo sized lip pencil creates exact colour application with twist up ease so you never have to sharpen. The pigment rich colour glides on effortlessly and easily to provide long lasting matte colour. The enriched Vitamin A, C & E formula moisturizes and hydrates lips for beautiful healthy looking lips.


This is what I would describe as a semi-matte lip product as it is still quite creamy. I think it's a nice autumnal shade, but great to wear all year too. An excellent every day colour that you don't have to think about. I think it would suit pretty much any skin tone.


Studio Lip Stain (Red Carpet) - £3.50 for 0.2 fl oz/6 ml stain & 0.2 fl oz/6 ml gloss


The information:


Achieve full coverage that lasts for hours with this long-wear formula. Enjoy silky matte color or layer on the moisturizing clear gloss for a shiny look. With key Vitamins A & E your lips stay smooth all day long.


WOW! This is a very creamy true red colour that dries to a matte finish. I think this would look great with or without the gloss. A fab two in one product. I did not apply the gloss to this swatch.


Hypershine Lip Glosses - £1.50 for 0.05 oz/1.5g


The information:


Hyper, glass-like shine infused with micro-mirror technology to reflect light. Conditioning shine lasts for hours.


Berry Cherry
 

Sorry about the extra thick swatch here, but I didn't realise how thick the formula was. This is an okay shade, but a bit muddy. I thought it was more of a rosy brown shade looking at it online, but this is more of just a brown.


Fairy


This is more of a thinner formula for some reason. A lovely sheer and pretty pale pink.


Joy


I love this shade. It's an almost holographic golden, pinky mauve colour. This one is a thin formula too. I think it would nice layered over the top of the Studio Matte Lip Color Tea Rose.


The Hypershine Lip Glosses are twist up pens with a brush applicator.




Mineral Eye Liner (Coffee), Link :)




Mineral Eye Liner (Coffee) - £3.00 for 0.21 g


The information:


Create definition that's soft, natural and brilliant. The natural based formula provides gentle coverage for even the most sensitive eyes. The twist up applicator is easy for instant use, no sharpening required. 100% mineral based with no parabens, no preservatives and no chemical dyes.


As it is described above this is a twist up pen. The formula is very smooth and creamy. This is a really nicely pigmented brown eye liner. The top swatch was drawn using the pen side on for a thicker swatch. The lower swatch was drawn using the nib only for a thinner line.


I am really pleased with this haul. The prices shown in this post are all full prices, but as I bought these products in the 40% off sale I paid a total of £31.80 for everything with no delivery charge too. Bargain central me thinks :)


I love most E.L.F. products that I have tried and I have tried A LOT! I have since placed another order too.


What are you favourite E.L.F. products and why? What products have you been disappointed with and why? Enjoy the rest of your weekend.


Love to you all
