E.L.F | Haul

Ok. I'm sure you all know about ELF. For those who have been suck under a rock for the last few years, ELF (eyes, lips, face) are a company that specialise in makeup.
cheap. makeup.
good. cheap. makeup. 
those are three words i like using together ;D

Anyway, i decided to make my first order from them & here are the products:
*note that i didnt buy any of their foundations as I've heard those are awful*

Shimmering Facial Whip ( £1.50)
I bought these after watching a highlight tutorial and these really do live up to their name. The colours are beautiful and the shimmer is also lovely. Perfect for a highlight on the cheeks. Swatched below, sorry for the awful pictures haha. So excited to use these. What i also like is that there is so much product and you dont need to use a lot to get a great glow.

Spotlight & Pink lemonade

 Lipstick: Classy (£1.50)
this is one thing i wont be repurchasing. Although i like the colour, its a gorgeous pink, i just dont think it goes on too well. It almost feels like a product you'd get as an eight year old, just getting into makeup. It defiantly has that cheap feel. I would say if your on a budget, go for it, theres nothing wrong with the colour and it was only £1.50. Maybe im just being picky. I would like to see the other colours from the range and may buy some more to see how those fair.

Contouring  Blush & Bronzing Powder: Antigua (£3.75)
This was the most expensive item on the list as its from the studio line; which you can see by the black packaging. I think the blush is a gorgeous colour but unfortunately the bronzer is waaay to dark for me. I will 100% use the blush as i think it applies really well and also blends effortlessly. Unlike the lipstick, this item doesnt have a cheap feel to it. It can be slightly powdery, but, cmon, its less than £4!

 Custom Compact ( £1.00) 
I LOVEEE palettes and decided to buy two of these custom compacts to fill with eyeshadows and blushes of my choice. Below you can see my choices. I love the mirror size but the one thing i hate with a passion is those cheap "brushes" throw those out immediately and get an eyeliner brush or two! those sponges are horrible :')

 I also bought this Driftwood eyeshadow but i dont have a palette for it so for now, it can stay in its packaging.
All eyeshadows / blushes were £1.
I also bought two pencil sharpeners 

Hope you enjoyed this honest review / post.
