Jessica here, and today I'm going to give some details and a mini review on my recent online E.l.f. haul. There was a promotion going on if you spent a certain amount of money you got a free 3 piece kit and free shipping with the purchase of 3 items from the summer playbook section. So here goes..
Products I have swatched and/or used already:
Lip Lacquer in Natural ($2): Pretty color, a lot more nude than I expected but great to put over a nude lipstick or liquid lipstick, it's a little sticky but that doesn't bother me,
On the Spot Blot blotting papers ($5): Blotting papers are pretty much all the same but I have crazy oily skin so they're pretty much a necessity. It comes in a little plastic case with mini puff (like an old school powder puff) that is stick on one side to pick up the papers and blot with. Genius!
Poreless Face Primer ($6): It has a pretty strong smell (can't pin point it) but it goes away after applying it. I didn't see a huge difference in my face after using but I have very large pores and have yet to find something to completely fill them but it did make my skin look smooth. Pretty decent primer over all.
Ultimate Blending Brush ($6): Super soft! Super silky! Love this brush. Simple.
Baked eyeshadow in Enchanted ($3): Gorgeous gold color (on my tan-ish skin). It has pretty good pigmentation dry but of course baked products pop when you wet them but either way this color is gorgeous! For best color pay off use a primer AND wet the brush.
Eye Refresh ($3): Just your typical roller ball eye treatment. It's not too sticky and rubs into the under eye well. I haven't seen much of a difference in my under eye yet as far as helping with my dark circles but it did make them feel good.
Wrinkle Refiner ($3): This stuff is absolutely terrible. I generally don't like to talk junk about a product because everyone's skin is different but holy crap this stuff is bad. It's extremely hard to rub in because it dries almost immediately. It makes the under eye look smooth (as smooth as it can as I have terrible under eye wrinkles) at first but then after a second my under eyes looked exactly the same as before I applied it, super wrinkly. Then as soon as I started to blend out my concealer it started to get patchy and chunky and would not blend out at all! I had to take a make up wipe to my under eyes and start over without it. I don't recommend if you have fine lines or wrinkles under your eyes.
Products I have not used/have not used enough:
Daily Face Cleanser ($7): This was one of the free gifts, I have yet to use it because I have certain cleansers I use already but I will try it out in the future. And it is HUGE! 3.71 fl oz.
Acne Fighting Foundation in Buff ($6): I swatched this and it had pretty good coverage but the color seemed to be a bit too light for me so I have to get a different color. Stay tuned.
Daily Moisture Stick ($6): This was another one of the free gifts, I haven't used this at all and don't plan to. I have super oily skin (as I've said) and this will probably make it even worse. I am iffy about using new moisturizers because I can go from oily to grease bucket very quickly.
So there you have it, I might do an update when I'm able to use the products more so stay tuned. Thanks for reading! Hope you come back again!
