Beauty LAT: elf Complexion Perfection powder review

I thought I ought to do a quick review of this powder, as it has appeared in every FOTD I've done!


I LOVE this powder. I was worried about the colours, because it looked a bit odd on the website pics! But when you use a brush over it, it all sheers out into this beautiful pale sheer powder.

It's perfect for setting foundation, and the mirror is great for those of us who never remember to take one with us anywhere (I seem to use the back of my Ipod a lot instead. Fail.) You can even see the pan. This never happens with me!


In short, this is cheap and works brilliantly. My HG powder!

10/10, I adore it.

This retails for £3.50 on the elf website.

Beauty LAT: elf Liquid Lipsticks Review

This, for me, is an example of how not to name a product.

When I ordered these, the idea of them being 'liquid lipsticks' gave me a certain level of expectation, particularly about how pigmented they would be. Which is annoying. Because they're a bit lacking in the pigmentation department.

It comes in a twist up tube- I like the idea, but it took so so long when I first bought it to get the colour up, I think I twisted for about half an hour!



It's a shame because these are perfectly nice products- like a lip balm or non-sticky gloss, they give a nice sheer wash of colour. Here is Ruby Slipper (I have 2 but I've no idea where the other one has gone. Also sorry for my hideous non-made up skin!).



You can just see it on my lips- lovely sheer hint of colour.

As a light lip balm then, this is a lovely product. As a lipstick though, this fails for me. The colour payoff is nowhere near high enough, and doesn't particularly last that long.

5/10, good for a sheer colour and for the price.

This retails for £1.50 on the elf website.
