E.l.f Mineral Eyeshadow | Elegant, Celebrity & Natural




Firstly I must apologize for these appalling pictures, I wanted to retake them but by now the boxes are long gone and the packaging isn't that pristine - must try harder! These eyeshadows are from my very first E.l.f haul which was quite a while ago now, there's been another one since then but as that was made up mostly of Birthday and Christmas presents I had to keep it under wraps but there are a couple of reviews in the pipeline!

I am definitely a neutral eye kind of girl and my eyeshadow collection is minuscule so when E.l.f had an offer on that was too good to refuse I thought it was the perfect opportunity to stock up on a few eye products. I went for 3 mineral eyeshadows and I haven't really used loose pigments on my eyes since I used to over do it with the multicoloured Barry M Dazzle Dusts when I was in college! The three colours that I chose were Celebrity which is a lovely beigey bronze, Natural is nude and Elegant is a light champagne and is also perfect to use as a highlighter - all three shades are a shimmer finish but not scarily glittery.

I absolutely love all three of these and will definitely be going back for more - for £3 the colour pay off is so strong and they just last and last with minimal creasing and that's even without a proper primer, the only thing I've been wearing underneath is MAC Bare Study. I can't even say that they're messy because I never end up with the pigments half way down my face, it's literally a few specks under my eyes and that's on a bad day - I use the Real Techniques Duo Fiber Eyeshadow brush to apply these and it seems to pick up the perfect amount of product. I couldn't recommend them more if you're looking to expand your eyeshadow collection without breaking the bank as they're as good as any other higher priced shadows that I've used!
