Elf Makeup Mist and Set spray - Review

Hey! So today I have a review for you on the ELF Makeup Mist and Set Spray, which is £3.75 off the studio line on the ELF website which I will link below. The studio line products used to be £3.50 but they went up, but they are still really cheap.



So, this product contains 60ml in each bottle, which is pretty small but you don't need a lot and I have had this a couple of months and I haven't used much. The purpose of this, is that when you finish your makeup application, you spray this, about 1-3 times onto your face and it's supposed to lock in your makeup and keep it from sweating off, smudging and fading away in the middle of the day. For that purpose it does it's job very well, I put it to the 24 hr  test and without this on my makeup lasted around 9 hours, which is not bad, but with this product sprayed 3 times all over my face, then it lasted a total of 12 hours on my face which is really good!

However, I did notice that it did leave a dry, red patch on my face so if I'm going to use it then i have to make sure I apply a thick moisturiser before applying my make up and after taking it off. The smell of this product is the same as the brush cleaner as in that I can't out my finger on what it is except that it is a very sharp scent but, unlike the brush cleaner, the scent doesn't linger on your face and it isn't as strong.

I would definitely recommend this product as I absolutely love it.
Hope this helps!

Ebay 15 Colour Concealer Palette Review

Hey! I'm BACK! I know I haven't been posting anything for months but I was just too busy with school work etc....
Anyway, I'm here with a review of the 15 Colour Concealer Palette which can be purchased for a range of prices depending which seller you buy from.




As you could have guessed, this palette consists of 15 shades of concealer - 1 highlight shade, 3 correctors (green, lavender and yellow - a very pale yellow which I can get away with using as a regular concealer), and 11 shades of skin toned concealer.

All the shades are very creamy once used, when I recieved this they weren't as creamy as they could have been but now that i have used them a couple of times they are very creamy. These are all amazing concealers! They are very light weight and have a buildable coverage, but with once light layer I would say the coverage is between a light - medium coverage. The correctors do the job amazingly, i especially love the green one as a tiny bit can go a very long way and it covers up the redness until it is just green - hence why you have to put a skintone shade of concealer over it to hide the green-ness.

I would highly reccomend this product as for only £2.77 (p&p included), you get alot of product (I don't know the exact amounts as they are not written anywhere and I threw away the black coverslip/box that it came in but I would say they are around 3g). I will link the place where I got it below!

Hope this helps!

Pure Essentials Eye Cream - review


So, in the bottle of Pure Essential Eye Cream, you get 15ml of product for £2.29 which, is ok i guess. But, it is a bit steep for an eye cream. The texture is very silky but it feels and looks like jelly on your eyelids. Although, it only feels like jelly on your eyelids until it has sank in which doesn't take a long time to do.

You put this under your eyes (your lower lashline) and on your eyelids, all the way up to your brow bone. It is supposed to moisturise and reduce signs of ageing. I am not old, i'm still quite young, so I dont have signs of ageing so I don't quite know if that part of the product actually works.

The smell is very, very faint so you can hardly smell anything. You can tell that there is a scent there but it is such a weak scent, that you can't make out what it is, so it's perfect as sometimes the scent of some creams,I find, can tend to sting or irritate your eyes.

The colour is clear, which I found very interesting as I thought it would look like your average, white moisturiser. It is quite thick but when you put it on it feels very fresh and almost like you have splashed cold water onto your eyelids. It is very refreshing and makes your eyelids feel silky smooth, almost like there is no bumps or wrinkles on your eyelids when you run your finger over your eyelid, or where ever you applied the product.

Your eyelids feel amazing after use. The amount you need is very little as, like the OCC lip tars, a little goes a long way, so I would say just as the product starts to come out press it down onto your hand and that will do for 1 eyelid, well it does for mine anyway.

This product is amazing and I really love it. You can use it on a night and on a morning but, I only use it on either the morning or the night, depending on how much time I have on the morning and if I think I don't need it,(which almost never happens!)

Hope this helped!
