e.l.f. Cosmetics Studio Matte Lip Color, HD Blush, and Blending Brush

Hey guys. I've missed you all! It's been a while since my last post because I kind of took a "Birthday Break." I've a lot of things lined up in the coming days so stay tuned. Today, I'm taking it easy by sharing with you my mini e.l.f. Cosmetics haul. I got these products on sale from their website so I actually didn't spend much.

e.l.f. Cosmetics are way overpriced here in the Philippines. I checked their prices at the department store and the blushes retail for almost Php 350 while the lipsticks are at Php 250. R-I-D-I-C-U-L-O-U-S.

I got the shades Cranberry, Praline, Coral. Cranberry is a deep berry-red, Praline is a brown-based beige nude and Coral a light-medium peach. I got them on sale at 50% so just $4.50 for three fantastic lipsticks.

These award-winning blushes were also on a 50% discount so I grabbed three shades: Headliner, Superstar and Diva. I was really tempted to buy all 5 shades but stopped myself. These blushes are really good: smooth, creamy and very blendable and a little goes a very long way.

While I like this brush in theory this wasn't as effective in practice. I think the brush is too large for my eyes so when I tried it out, my eye makeup resulted to a messy blend of colors. I wanted this brush to be more precise.

Except for the brush which was a disappointment,I really liked everything I have here. I used the blushes at a wedding last weekend and they turned out really great. I also liked the colors I picked for the lipsticks. They swatched true to color and were really smooth and pigmented. They were not true mattes but I could live with. e.l.f. products (Studio line especially) almost always do have good quality for the price (if you consider the US price). They have now branched out to skin care but I have yet to read reviews on them before I take the plunge of trying them out. I will doing reviews of these in the coming weeks.
