Hi everyone!
Just thought I'd share some photos and thoughts on the stuff I ordered from elf last week.

Nail Polish - Innocent
All Over Colour Stick - Pink Lemonade

Studio Small Precision Brush
Studio Small Smudge Brush

Studio Small Smudge Brush
I think my favourite things have to be the brushes!
Blush Brush: This is the perfect size for me, really good for contouring blush as it is quite flat and you can really get under/on your cheekbone depending on the look you want to achieve. Very soft too!
Eyeshadow C Brush: Great for working and blending colours in, love this brush!
Small Precision Brush: Fantastic for applying shadow when you want "precision" e.g. in the socket line, or outer corners.
Small Smudge Brush: I have been using this with my Bobbi Brown Gel Liner, and it works pretty well, not at all scratchy.
As for the cosmetics....
Studio Blush Pink Passion: I love this colour, it pretty much applies as it looks in the pan! You could achieve a subtle look, but you really would have to pick up a very small on your brush to achieve this. I love bright blush anyway, but if you prefer the more natural look, I wouldn't recommend this particular colour. The texture is OK, not too amazingly soft, feels a little chalky, but for £3.50 I cant really complain!
Here is a piccie of what the blush looks like on when I went out in Liverpool on Saturday. (Sorry for the weird expression, I don't know what I was doing!?)
Nail Polish Innocent: I had to apply about 3-4 coats to get a good solid colour, it applies very streaky and quite wishy washy, I would describe this as a dirty nude, and wouldn't particularly recommend, or try any of the other colours. (Plus the bottle had leaked and I had to run under hot tap for ages to get it off!!)
I haven't had chance to use the bronzer yet, as I'm trying to use up the Rimmel one I have, so I will probably post on this in the future. I also haven't had much chance to use the colour stick either, although it smells fab!! Its not that soft or easy to apply, but I will keep trying with it.

What do you guys think?

Have you ever bought anything from elf? What are your faves and maybe not so faves? Would love to hear what you guys have tried!
