E.L.F Brightening Eye Colour

I bought this eyeshadow compact along with loads of other e.l.f products in an attempt to cut down the amount of money I was spending on cosmetics. Like most e.l.f products it costs just £1.50. It comes in a neat little compact with a transparent plastic lid so you can see the eyesahdows through it. It's fairly easyt o open as long as you get your finger in just the right place on the catch, but otherwise it will take forever to get into. In the compact are 4 eyeshadows, which unlike the picture above, are rectangular shapes in mine, and a sponge applicator. I chose the 'drama' set, which includes white, light grey, dark shimmery grey, and black ...  Read the complete review

Another Elf product here, and yes of course as with all their others this one costs just £1.50! After my little snag with their New Moisture Care Lip Color (although they were excellent at replacing it VERY quickly and so far, so good) I am pleased to report that this ticks all the boxes. The "Brightening Eye Color" is Elf's fancy way of saying...eyeshadow. There are nine quads available ranging from "Nouveau Neutrals" to "Drama".

~The Company~ Eyeslipsface.co.uk is the sister site to american eyeslipsface.com. It is an online shopping site for makeup and cosmetics, and is sometimes referred to as ELF (eyes lips face). Its main claim / attraction is that (almost) everything is £1.50! In america it is cheaper still at $1 per item! The ELF company has only been shipping to the UK since November 2007, but is already very popular. ~What the website says about Brightening Eye Colour~ Luxuriously smooth, corn silk formula provides eyes with a neutral base and an awakened brightness. Directions Apply to upper lid; gently glide on powder. Blend as ...  Read the complete review

For £1.50 these are great value considering you get 4 eyeshadows, however, I find the sets quite hit and miss. After loving "Drama" with its strong blacks, whites and greys that created the perfect smokey eye on a budget, I decided to buy some green colours called IVY and blues called BLUE MOON. I am quite disappointed with these ones as the colour pay off and pigmentation is nothing like DRAMA and I find them quite chalky. This has put me off buying any more but I guess they would be okay for someone who didnt want vibrant and strong colours - such as a beginner. The sponge tip applicator is also quite bad - I recommend using their eye shadow brush to apply ...  Read the complete review
