ELF goodies

Hi Beauties 

Apparently I wasn't quite done making reviews for you guys today ;) 

Recently I've bought myself some ELF goodies. I'm having a real cheek and lips period so of course I had to try the cream blush and conditioning lip balm! 

First off the blush. It's the first from the right on the pic in the color 'heart breaker'. When it's in the pot it feels like a dough, but on the skin it blends really easy and like a mousse. It's a very true pink and perfect for those 'I've just been out running' looking cheeks. It stays on quite a while and reminds me a lot of Top Shops cream blush in Flush (only this is a bit more yellow/peach). I think they come in around 6,5£ (kind of expensive for ELF, but they are good).

The conditioning lip balm has an sph 15 (which is essential at this time of year) and is in the color 'Mellow melon'. It's second from left at the pic. The color is pretty close to the inside of a water melon so the name is quite fitting. Some people compare this to Korres Lip Butters.. I think they're quite right! The only thing I can point out where the Korres is better, is the smell. The ELF smells like a mixture of vanilla and .. clay? But this isn't really a big deal for me. So I will definately pic up some more of these! They come for around 3,75£ (a lot cheaper than Korres!)
.
Similar for the lip balm and the blush are the irritating glass jars. They are huge, square and not really glass. It's annoying and a huge minus. You can't bring them along in a small bag. Please ELF change the packaging!

The next three are there Hypershine Glosses. I have shown the colors (starting 3 from left): Vixen (no shimmer) - a true red, Berry cherry (no shimmer) - Your lips but better, Blossom (subtle sheen) - gives a nice suttle sheen and pink tint. 
 I LOVE these! I have for a long time.. They are easy with the twist up funktion, they give a nice easy tint (nothing too opaque - which I prefer). My biggest love is the Berry Cherry. It gives my lips just enough to look naturally pretty. And for 1,5£ ?! What's not to love? 

Hope you love ELF as much as I do, 

xoxo
