At first, please apologize me for being very - very late with this post but I´ve been waiting for a package, which arrived the next day I have gone away from home (I haven´t spent weekend at home).
It was a very important package, because it contained the needed stuff for my post. As the title suggest, I ordered some stuff from e.l.f cosmetics and I would like to share with you my first impressions on it.
A few days ago I´ve been searching for American cosmetic brands and suddenly found a website offering e.l.f. I have heard a lot about this brand and I was quite impressed by the price of the products.
So today I opened the package and I was impressed, but after taking the products into hands I realized why do they cost approx. only 2 - 3 euro. I can´t make an opinion on them as I haven´t tried any of them yet, but I know which will belong to my favourites and which don´t.
My order contained these products:
1, Mineral Lipstick in Royal Red and Rustic Brick
2, Glossy Gloss in Merry Cherry and Ballet Slippers
3,Nail Polish in Smoky Brown and Cranberry
4, Eyeshadow C Brush and Contour Brush
5, Natural Lash Kit
The first thing, which I took in hands were the nail polishes. I can definitely say that I am not satisfied with their packaging, Smoky Brown´s bottle can not be properly closed and its bottle is dirty from the polish.
I am a little bit weird, but I smell everything, their smell is very harsh, I don´t like nail polishes, which are very smelly. But I am satisfied with the colours - Smoky Brown being the colour I´ve been searching for and Cranberry with a little shimmer in it, which made me happy because I just looove shimmery nail polishes.
The Mineral Lipsticks were little more expensive than other products, but at the first sight I am very satisfied with them. They came in an elegant packaging. I love the black packaging of the lipsticks and even the colours are very decent. Even though I thought that Royal Red will be more reddish I am very happy I got this colour, on the other hand Rustic Brick is the same colour I thought it will be.
The next lip product I ordered are these glosses, which are the same quality and texture I have been waiting for. Merry Cherry will be one of my favourite colours as it is a very deep berry colour and those are the ones I love wearing. Ballet Slippers came to me as a little dissapointment, I have been waiting for something more nude than pink, but still it is a wearable colour. I will use these glosses also as top coats on lip sticks to add them gloss as they are super glossy - I love it.
(the colour of Ballet Slippers is more pink in reality)
Other products, which I found in the package were the brushes, which are of a very good quality. I can´t wait to try them tomorrow. I think I will get a lot of use of them.
And the last thing from my order were these faux lashes. I am still very unhandy in putting on eyelashes so I hope I will get a use of them, but it depends only on me ;)
To sum it up I am satisfied with the products and my first impressions are good. I am sure I will make another order as I didn´t wanted to order a lot of stuff for the first time because I was a little bit afraid because of the quality. I can´t wait to try all of these products, mainly the brushes and lip sticks. I am pretty sure there will be a review of them :)
Until then, I am wishing you a great start of the new week and hope I will come with a new post soon.
Kisses, ...Carina.
