One thing I love that Elf’s done on their website is to make it easier to choose concealer and foundation shades. I already have this concealer in Fair Beige, but it’s too light to use as a concealer on my face, so I often use it as my light contour color. “ They have seven kuelshades in this concealer” It has a big doe foot applicator so I’m going to put some on my hand-so I don’t get too much– and then dot it on with my concealer brush. I got the “Light Peach” shade since I wanted to see if it would work as a color corrector under my eyes.
So next, I’m trying out the Camo Hydrating Concealer which costs $6.00. In fact, I was recently describing what my ideal palette would look like to my daughter (who happens to be a Beauty Editor for the online site Who, What, Wear, so this kind of conversations isn’t all that unusual for us) and I mentioned these very same qualities I mentioned in this Elf palette that I’d love to see in most eye shadow palettes. I also love the variety of light, mid-tone and dark colors in both warm and cool tones.įrankly, these are qualities I wish most eye shadow palettes would have. And the dark colors are fantastic to use to deepen the outer corners of our eyes. The light matte is great for blending out the edge of eye shadows in the crease so there are no hard eye shadow edges and for lightening other colors. Also, it has both light and dark mattes as well as some mattes which are pops of colors.
“ I love the variety of light, mid-tone and dark colors in both warm and cool tones.”įirst, it has 12 mattes and 6 shimmers and I know many of us really appreciate having more mattes than shimmers in a palette. And there are several other things I love about this palette. I just couldn’t resist the gorgeous colors. It’s $14-which is still a great value for an 18-pan eye shadow palette. This is the one product that costs more than $8. In the video I’m going to go ahead and try out the Elf Retro Paradise Eye Shadow Palette. And by the way, the Elf Putty Eye Primer comes in five other colors as well: White, Cream, Sand, Clay and Black. Since I almost always use the Urban Decay Eye Primer underneath eye shadows I wear, I wanted to test out the Elf Retro Paradise Eyeshadow palette using a primer on one eye that I normally wear under my eyeshadow so I can evaluate it fairly in comparison with other eye shadows I’ve tried. I also put on the Elf Putty Eye Primer in Rose (which costs $5.00) on one eye and my Urban Decay Primer Potion in Eden (which costs $24.00) on the other eye. In the video I’ve already put on my Elf Instant Lift Eyebrow Pencil. The Elf products I’ll be focusing on today in the video are: the Elf Putty Eye Primer, the Retro Paradise Eyeshadow Palette, the Monochromatic Multi Stick (in two different colors), Hydrating Camo Concealer, two of the Bite-Size Face Duos, and 3 brushes-a blush brush, highlighting brush and a bronzer brush. “ I couldn’t resist trying out a few more Elf products.” The Elf Products: Obviously I can’t try them all out today, but I’ll check out quite a few. In fact, I ordered 13-but the total price I paid was what I would have paid for only four or five high end products.
So I couldn’t resist trying out a few more Elf products. (And One $14.00 Eye Shadow Palette) I recently discovered a drugstore eyebrow pencil and a cream contour palette from the brand Elf which I really love and I feel they actually perform better than many high end products.
