E.L.F Custom Eyeshadow- REVIEW

This is part of the order that I brought from the Eyes Lips Face (E.L.F) American website. They were having a 50% off everything for eyes. I have heard some good review about these eyeshadows and the build your own idea is really cute. I brought 16 eyeshadows and four custom compacts. I don't have any other eyeshadows besides my 88 and 120 eyeshadow palettes.   

 

E.L.F Essentials Custom Compact with Mirror 

This is a cute and sturdy compact that holds four of the E.L.F Custom eyeshadows. It's is magnetic and have a full mirror which is always handy. These compacts only come in one colour and are really slim so they are great for traveling.

 

I have swatched these for you girls and I first swatched them bare and then with an eye primer.

I used the Etude House Proof 10 Eye Primer, which is really good.

Suisse Programme Cellular Revitalizing Toner. REVIEW

While browsing SaSa.com one day I saw this toner on sale, I have never heard of Suisse Programme and have never seen it in any other shops. But begin the skincare junkie that I am, I just had to try it out.  

What SaSa.com says-  Suisse Programme was founded in 1996 by a group of biologists, chemists      and cosmetologists aiming at the creation of a new concept in Swiss made skincare treatment products. Dedicated to provide the best skincare products with the most advanced technology, originated and successfully developed in Switzerland.

This brand is slightly on the more expensive side, but almost all of the products, that SaSa.com sells, have a five star rating. This high rating and the price that this toner was selling for just made me want it even more, and I'm glad that I brought it because right after I completed my payment the toner was 'out of stock'.  

Weekly Masks Review

I have an addiction to face masks, especially sheet masks because they are just so easy to use and most of them don't need to be rinsed off, which is a bonus for me. I try and use a mask 3-4 times a week but when I have university and I'm busy as hell I just don't have the time to do them. So since I'm on holiday now I have the time to pamper my skin everyday and for the past week I have been using one overnight. Some people recommend using them 2-3 a week, while others say that you can use them everyday. I personally have never used them everyday, so this was my first time and so far my skin has not broke out (knock on wood), actually my skin has never looked so radiant and healthy looking. SO lets Take a look at what masks I have been using.

E.L.F Blushes Reviews and Swatches

Since I bought quite a few things from the E.L.F US website I thought it would be better to review them for you in different parts. Today I will be talking about the blushes, I got one baked blush and four of the Studio line blushes. I will be stating what each product cost in both Australia and in the US. I will be stating the retail price according to the official US E.L.F website and the Australian  E.L.F website. I did buy these while the US site was having a 50% off the Studio Line, and used hopshopgo.com to ship them to me. Read more about my post on hopshopgo.com here.

Lets start with the E.L.F Baked Blush in Passion Pink.

What they say- The soft and shimmering color of our Baked Blush creates a natural healthy glow. Baked in an oven, these blushes offer rich pigmentation for a beautiful effect. The long-lasting formula provides a gorgeous, smooth and even application. Infused with active key ingredients Jojoba, Rose, Sunflower, Apricot and Grape to nourish and hydrate the skin. Apply this shimmering color dry for sheer pigmentation, or use a damp brush or sponge for a more vibrant effect.

What I say- I wanted to get this in different colour but they were all sold out. This is a really nice product, it does give a healthy glow but is not glittery. Easy to apply and does not have a lot of fall out. This makes it very easy to blend out.

Price- USA $3.00
           Australia- not available

Weight- 6 grams

Recommended- Yes                       

          

Next up are the E.L.F  Studio line blushes.

What they say-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!
 

E.L.F Studio Blush- Tickled Pink

What I say- While I tried my best to get the true colour of the blush this was the best I can do, its a tad pinky in real life. I would say this is a pinky-peach colour, a great spring/summer colour. It has the tiniest hint of shimmer but you really don't see it on the face. The texture is soft and velvety and quite pigmented.

Recommend- Yes

          

E.L.F Studio Blush- Fushia Fusion

 What I say-  A bright mauvey-pink with micro-glitter, again soft and velvety to the touch but I really don't like this as it's very shimmery and I personally don't like it, because when I apply it the shimmers go all over the place on my face. I will be giving this to a friend.

Recommend- No

         

E.L.F Studio Blush- Twinkle Pink

What I say- A peachy colour with loads of gold micro-glitters, unlike the Fushia Fusion blush the shimmers in this blush are quite nice they add a nice shine to the face and they do stay just on the cheeks.

Recommend- Yes 

          

E.L.F Studio Blush- Candid Coral

What I say- A coral colour with very fine gold shimmers, I love this blush it just adds a nice colour to the cheeks very wearable and just a colour you don't need to worry about.

Recommend- Yes

Price- USA $3.00
           Australia $9.99

 Weight- 4.75 grams

Swatches

Overall, I would recommend you try these blushes out they are cheap, if you buy in the USA, but quite pigmented, soft and velvety to the touch. These blushes have been compared to the NARS blushes but I don't own any NARS blushes so I cannot compare.   

Love,
Sakura
