e.l.f Haul #8

As you may or may not know, e.l.f stopped stocking their products in the UK some time ago and their website had a big sell off and closed down. But, it didn’t last long and I found out that you could order again via their website. I didn’t go crazy because there wasn’t really anything new and I don’t really have the excitement about the brand anymore. I bought a couple of necessities and a new product for me to finally try.

I decided to get a Large Makeup Holder, so I could decorate it and use it to store my make-up brushes. I am thinking of spray painting it brown. I also got a back-up Blending Eye Brush. This is my favourite e.l.f brush and is perfect for applying colour to your crease. I got two more pairs of Slant Tweezers and lastly I decided I wanted to try the 3-in-1 Mascara because I have heard good things about it and before e.l.f stopped stocking in the UK, I would go to buy it but it was always sold out and then they didn’t stock it anymore for some unknown reason!

I’m glad I will finally get the chance to try the mascara and I am excited to DIY my make-up holder. I also have a little warning about purchasing from the e.l.f UK website. They are selling to the UK, but are actually shipping from the USA. I didn’t realise until after I made my order. The shipping cost is surprisingly still £2.95 or free if you spend more than £25.00 and you shouldn’t get charged custom fees (I didn’t anyway). The only downside is that it will take a little longer for your order to arrive, but I can live with that seeing as though the shipping fees are cheap, also considering it is flying from the USA.

Any suggestions for other products to try?

Jouer Skinny Dip Palette

I first saw this palette when Jouer released their Skinny Dip make-up collection and I nearly bought it, but I changed my mind because I already have a million palettes. As you can see, I have changed my mind again and I am very glad that I did. The packaging is quite compact. It is made out of reflective foil gold cardboard and the typography is simple. It has a magnetic closing, which you lift to reveal a small rectangular mirror on one side and then the six eyeshadow pans on the other. The shade names are written underneath each pan. You get six ultra-foil shimmer eyeshadows in blinding shades with a net weight of 7.5g. The sixth shade is actually described as more of a glitter shade. STAR LIGHT - platinum BIKINI - champagne pink SKINNY DIP - champagne gold TAN LINES - antique bronze MAGIC HOUR - warm taupe MIDNIGHT SWIM - cocoa bronze The eyeshadows should be highly pigmented, have an intense shimmery and metallic finish, be long wearing and cre

KALEIDOS Space Age Highlighters

A few posts ago I mentioned that I purchased a Kaleidos Space Age Highlighter from Depop and I said I really wanted the whole collection (8 highlighters) and was considering purchasing the whole bundle. The bundle was and is still out of stock, so I caved in and went for the second best option. I ended up purchasing The Six Highlighter Bundle, where you choose six of the shades and you get their Precision Highlighter Brush, all for $76.00 (£60.70). With this option I would only be missing out on one shade. My order was shipped from China and took 10 days to get to me. The shipping was FREE as I spent over $70.00 and I wasn’t charged any customs fees. Inside the main package is the bright bundle box, it looks like a present/gift. When you open this up, the highlighters and brush are inside the metallic padded envelope. I already own the shade Ray Rider (N03) (champagne sheen with a peach hint).
