E.L.F. Haul #2

This haul has taken me twice as long to post, because I received the wrong order! Luckily, E.L.F.'s customer service people were very helpful and helped me receive the correct stuff. This was all ordered during their recent 50% off weekend. 

Apologies for the awful light!

I picked up four new Jumbo Eyeshadow Sticks. I love these, the colours are fantastic, and the formula is so creamy and easy to apply. 

After swatching these, my favourite is currently Bali Bound. I love that shimmery green, beautiful! Like a Boss is way more blue than I thought it would be, I think I could end up looking pretty eighties. Turkish Coffee is a great neutral brown, with some lovely shimmer to it, and Check Me Out is a gorgeous purple. I'm really looking forward to trying these out! You can get the Jumbo Eyeshadow Sticks here for £2.50 each.

I also picked up another Jumbo Lip Gloss Stick. This is Sangria Starters, and I thought it would be quite a nice autumny colour, but it's actually quite natural looking. I was hoping for a darker pigmentation really. You can get the Jumbo Lip Gloss Sticks here for £2.50 each.

Finally, I nabbed this cute little beauty book. This contains 48 eyeshadows, and comes with a mirror and an applicator. Normally this is £8, but I got it for a bargainous £4. The eyeshadows in this are pretty tiny, but there are so many of them, and they all seem really pigmented. It also means that the book is the perfect size for chucking in your handbag on a night out. 

I've swatched a selection of the eyeshadows so you can see the kind of colours in this palette. It mainly contains neutral shades, but the other festive palette available features a wider selection of the more colourful shadows. 

As you can see, we've got browns, greys, greens, and even some shimmery golds. The festive palettes are available here.

 

E.L.F. Eye Shadow Sticks and Mineral Eye Liner

Time for an E.L.F. haul update! These Jumbo Eyeshadow Sticks were my favourite part of the haul overall, and I have since bought four more...woops.

Rock Out

Rock Out is a great silvery grey shade. A decent primer is a must for these as they do tend to smudge and crease throughout the day! However, if you're short on time, they are pretty easy to just blend back in to your eyelid.

Forest Nymph and Ash

Here I've gone for a bit of a rock chick look! I don't wear eyeliner like this to work anyway. Forest Nymph is a gorgeous shimmery brown shade, really neutral and easy to wear. The Mineral Eye Liner in Ash was really easy to apply, and is a very dark grey, almost black.

These are definitely a firm favourite with me, and I can't wait to try out the new shades I bought in the recent 50% off weekend! You can check out the Jumbo Eyeshadow Sticks here, they're a bargain at £2.50 each, and the Mineral Eye Liner is available here for £3.
