Elf Cosmetics Review

Hello Everyone, 

I hope you are well & having a good week?

I have recently started using a new brand of make up which I haven't tried before Elf Cosmetics. Elf cosmetics was founded in 2004 to make luxurious, high quality beauty products. Who have become one of the fastest growing beauty companies especially in the United States. They are affordable prices which makes it even better!

I got a number of products to try:

Matte Oil Control Mask 

A Kaolin clay & tea tree mask, This mattifying clay mask helps to draw out impurities and excess oil to give a clearer complexion. It is infused with Kaolin clay, tea tree & willow bark, which leaves the skin leaving clear, smooth & shine free.

Prep & Hydrate Balm 

This is a clear, cooling balm which helps hydrate & prep skin before make up application. It is enriched with purified water, Shea & Vitamin E to help nourish & moisturise. It is perfect for daily use & can be used on areas such as the face, hands, elbows or knee's. 

Chromatic Eyeshadow Palette - Bird Of Paradise & Posh Peacock

This palette contains the most pigmented rich formulas which blend effortlessly. It comes with 7 colours from matte to metal. Enriched with Vitamin E & Jojoba Oil. The Bird of paradise palette is more nudes & purple shades, where as the Posh peacock palette is greens & a couple of nudes.

Colour Correcting Stick - Correct The Red

The colour correcting stick helps to balance & correct the skin tones. The green colour helps to reduce redness like Rosacea, sunburn or blemishes. It is also infused with Vitamin E to hydrate the skin.

Flawless Face Brush

A soft brush which lets you apply product with the lightest touch for a sheer natural effect. The slight point fits nicely in the contour of the face for a more precise placement. Also a beveled tip brush is perfect. Can be used for powders or blush or bronzer. 

Illuminating Face Primer - Radiant Glow

A multi purpose primer which preps your skin & fills in the fine lines so that make up applies evenly to give a long lasting luminous finish. 

Shimmer Highlighting Powder - Starlight Glow & Sunset Glow

A lightweight pressed shimmer highlighting powder which helps amplify your natural glow. Microfine particles blur lines to help create a soft focus effect on the skin. It is perfect for dusting over your cupid's bow, cheekbones or bridge of your nose.

Lip Exfoliator - Brown Sugar

This has to be one of my favourite products of theirs! It is a gentle exfoliate lips to remove dry, chapped skin. It is a sweet sugar which gives a smooth sensation infused with Vitamin E, Shea Butter, Avocado, Grape & Jojoba Oil to help nourish & protect.

Lip Plumping Lip Gloss - Champagne Glam 

This gloss helps plump your lips for a nourishing hydration. A high shine formula which gives a soothing sensation while volumising. It is packed with Vitamin E & Coconut oil help nourish & hydrate the lips. It helps give a natural shade of shimmering.

All of the products are amazing quality & give great results.

Mad Beauty

Hello Everyone!

Happy Monday! Well we can now say that as monday is over with.

My plan was to write a blog post over the weekend but on Saturday my body had other ideas & Saturday I came down with the worst headache & feeling under the weather that I ended up having to go to bed at half 9 on a Saturday night & then I didn't wake up till like 10am Sunday morning. But the headache & sickness was still there! What is that all about?! No way to spend a Saturday evening that's for sure. I keep suffering from headaches lately so I have booked myself in for another eye test. So we shall see if it's the fact I need stronger glasses or not.

As you may have all guessed by now I am absolutely obsessed with beauty products! As a qualified beautician I am forever wanting to find new brands that I love. When it comes to finding new brands to try out I love sometimes to find like something with an element of fun to the brand. But they are so far between I've found. So when I come across a company called Mad Beauty I fell in love with their products! Simply because they are SO unique & cute! 

Mad beauty puts the fun in cosmetics & beauty. They are a UK design led, award winning leading manufacturer of beauty products who love to make cosmetics fun. They have such a range of products which I think would suit everyone! Whether it's someone who is Disney obsessed, Vintage style obsessed, or simply loves unique beauty products! Then Mad Beauty is definitely for you.

I first come across their Alice in wonderland products in their Disney range & due to my own huge love of Alice in wonderland I was amazed by them! Simply because I had not seen anything like these products anywhere from any other company before & I love that when looking at companies!

SO due to my love of Disney I chose two products from their Disney collection:

Bee prepared Honey & Orange Blossom - Bee Good Hand Wash:
This hand soap is from the Winnie the Pooh collection. Which in the collection is also a hand cream, body wash, bubble bath, body balm & a few other products. But I chose the hand wash simply because hand wash comes in use all around the house & there is nothing more important than having clean hands at all times! 
It smells amazing! What is Winnie the Poohs favourite food?
Honey! So the hand wash contains honey which is considered to be an effective natural moisturiser & toner. 

Mickey Mouse Wash Bag/Cosmetic Bag:
This bag is of a smallish size but it is perfect for a small make up bag to put in your handbag & carry along with you or to put a few small bits in cosmetic wise when you are travelling & things. 
The bag is a canvas material & has a cute vintage style Mickey & Minnie mouse logo on it. It is so cute! I love it.

Another product I got was two of the moisturising hand sanitisers. As you may have seen from my previous posts before I always carry a hand sanitiser in my handbag because in public places I am terrible I have to use them a lot.The range from Mad Beauty come in such cute & colourful packaging! So these look great to have in your bag & are so useful! I have one which is coconut smelling & another which is 
Tuberose. They are pocket sized so they are light & small. Perfect size to carry around with you. 

Lastly the other products I got were from the Vintage Kellogg's range. I am quite a lover of the whole vintage look. I got:

Mini files- These are what they say mini emery boards. They are perfect to put in your bag & carry around with you. It is always handy to keep nail files on you especially in case you break a nail. The vintage style gives it a different look too.

Manicure Kit- Anything handy beauty product to have with you at all times. The kit comes complete with tweezers, nail file, nail clippers, cuticle pusher & small scissors. All in a pocket size case. Perfect size to pop into any pocket of your bag to make sure you have your tools at any time you need them on the go!

Lip Balm - Lemon & Mandarin - The lip balm comes in a small box which open up to reveal a small tin of lip balm. All with the vintage logo on them. Lip balms are also so great to carry with you especially in the winter & your lips become dry or chapped. They are always a must have! Plus the smell of this one is so lovely.

Bath Milk - Lemon & Mandarin - I love my baths & am a lover of bubble bath products. This bath milk is the same smell of the lip balm. It comes in like a milk carton packaging. You simply add a few drops to running water in the bath & enjoy! The scent is such a fresh fruity one. I love it!

There are SO many more products I want to try! 
I have to say the Alice in wonderland collection is definitely my next one to try products from. The ranges are just so eye catching, unique, cute & fun. They would make great gift ideas for people or simply just a treat for yourself.
