ELF 50% Off Haul (Pic Heavy)


Last Saturday, just as me and my boyfriend were heading out for the day to watch the British Super bikes, a post van pulled up outside the house with a big box of goodies that I had ordered off the E.L.F website!
As you will all probably know they held a 50% off sale recently and I tried to resist but it was just too tempting!

My order came to £22.95 including postage which means the contents was worth £40!!

So this is what I ordered........

2 Blending brushes from the basic range
An angled eyeliner brush
A stippling brush

Night to day brightening eye colour
Natural radiance blusher in Glow
Tone correcting concealer in Light Beige

Studio cream eyeliner in Black
Studio conditioning lip balm in Peaceful Pink
Studio under eye concealer and highlighter in Glow/Light
Studio matte lip colour in Natural

Nail polishes in Nude, Champagne and Fluorescent Pink

Studio mist and set
Eyelid primer collection

The only thing I am disappointed in is the nail polish in Champagne as it look NOTHING like the colour that they have in the website. On the website it looks like a light peach colour but in real life it is more of a muddy brown colour.

Here are some swatches of the things that I got!

Top - Conditioning lip balm in Peaceful Pink
Bottom - Matte lip colour in Natural

Tone correcting concealer in Light Beige

Natural radiance blusher in Glow

Natural radiance blusher in Glow blended out
Studio under eye concealer and highlighter in Glow/Light


Studio under eye concealer and highlighter in Glow/Light blended out

Night to day brightening eye colour


Eyelid primer collection - Nude, Pearl, Champagne

Studio cream eyeliner in Black
Nail polish - Nude, Champagne, Fluorescent Pink

So I am currently trying all these items out so that I can do some reviews for you all!
What would you like to see reviewed first??

NYX Swatches

After posting about my NYX find the other day a few of you asked me for some swatches,
so here they are!

First up......

Blushes:

Top: Natural
Bottom: Mocha

Both of these are so pigmented! A little definitely goes a long way with these.
They both blended out really well.

Blushes blended out slightly.

Eyeshadows:

Top: Violet
Middle: Flamenco
Bottom: Pretty Pink

This is quite a heavy swatch of Pretty Pink but it comes out slightly darker than it looks in the pan. The eyeshadow lasted really well and hardly creased while I was wearing them and that was without a primer!

Flamenco is such a gorgeous colour,
it has a gold going through it so it looks amazing when the light hits it

Lipglosses and Lip Pencil:

Left to right - Lip pencil in Mauve, Lipgloss in Whipped, Lipgloss in Strawberry

I LOVE whipped!! It is such a gorgeous nude gloss, I have been wearing it nearly everyday since I got it. It lasts well on the lips as well.

Lipsticks:

Top: Margaritta
Bottom: Femme

Femme

Both these lipsticks go on really smoothly and haven't dried my lips out at all.

Margaritta

After trying out the products I will definitely be going back to purchase some more! I would love to try some more of the creme blushes and lipsticks. They had some of the jumbo pencils in the shop but they weren't in colours I really fancied, tempted to try them though as all the things I already have are so good!
