ELF Under Cover HAUL


My ELF hauls continue. I still have a lot to post. And I keep ordering more.
I have not even started posting my ELF Nail Polishes.
Except ELF Mango Madness that I did a NOTW post about.
Should I keep doing Nails of the Day/Week posts with the elf polishes
or do you want to see all the polishes (bottles) in one post?

Now on to the products I am posting about today.
Under cover - so mostly Concealers and Tinted Moiusturizers.
But also a few other things.
Doing a little comparison between some elf
concealers and the two tinted moisturizers. 

Under Eye Concealer & Highlighter - Glow/Fair


Under Eye Concealer & Highlighter
Use the “conceal” side under the eye area to correct under eye problematic areas such as dark circles and bags easily and effectively! Also help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and puffiness while helping the skin around the eyes look firmer and rejuvenated.
The “highlight” cream gives eyes an instant brightening boost with light-reflecting pigments that work like an instant eye lift (can also be used as an eyeshadow base). Dot the formula and blend in under, around and ontop of the eye as needed for a youthful glow.
Contains vitamins A & E, chamomile, caffeine and green tea to moisturize, soothe, and tighten the skin around the delicate eye area. Blends in easily and evenly to provide a smooth and natural finish.

Net Weight: Concealer: 0.17oz (5g)
Highlighter: 0.17oz (5g)

Under Eye Concealer & Highlighter

The highlight side has subtle shimmer,
maybe you can see that in the swatch above.
Works best under eyes, not so much on spots.
Dot the formula on to your skin and dab for the best result.

Under Eye Concealer & Highlighter - Slightly blended out.


Concealer - Ivory


Concealer
Conceal acne spots, discoloration, under-eye darkness
or any other place desired with this twist up concealer.
The creamy lightweight texture blends evenly for a natural full coverage
that lasts. Convenient for fast and effortless makeup touchups.

Directions
Apply to areas that need additional coverage.
Gently pat onto skin and blend with fingertips or a concealer brush.
Net weight: 0.11oz (3g)

I don't like it for concealing my under eye circles.
It feels cakey under my eyes. I think this works best for spots.



All Over Cover Stick - Ivory


All Over Cover Stick
Achieve smooth and flawless skin easily! The e.l.f. All Over Cover Stick
is infused with active natural ingredients and skin polymers to soothe
and protect the skin to camouflage those problematic facial areas.
Getting a clear fresh face has never been so easy!

Directions
For all over flawless coverage, apply to face using clean finger-tips
or an e.l.f Professional Foundation Brush for perfect results.
To cover up problem areas - for best results apply and blend using an
e.l.f Professional Concealer Brush.

Tip - Apply sparingly to eyelids for a fantastic long-lasting eyeshadow base.
Net weight: 0.14oz (4g)



Honestly I have not been using this a whole lot.
Becasue it is a bit too yellow for my skin tone. I guess I could
try it out as an eyeshadow base. I have not done that yet
as I soooo like the Eyeshadow Primers elf has.

All Over Cover Stick - Ivory slightly blended

Tinted Moisturizer SPF15 - Beige and Light Beige

Tinted Moisturiser Spf 15
SPF 15 formula helps combat premature aging and protects against
sun damage while leaving skin radiant and lightly hydrated. 

Directions
Blend a pearl-sized amount into skin and neck daily.
Net weight: 0.42oz (12g)

Again too yellow for me. But as it is a Tinted Moisturizer and does
not give full covarage I can use it if I blend it out properly

I bougt the Light Beige a while ago. And I wanted to see if the next color (Beige)
was as yellow. And yes it is. I will not be using this one. I have not even opened it.

Tinted Moisturizer SPF15 - Beige and Light Beige

I swatched the below products along side each other
to compare the colors. All are the lightest shade.

Eyebrow Treat & Tame - Dark

Eyebrow Treat And Tame
Create manicured and styled brows that are beautiful and defined.
Treat your eyebrows with a hair re-growth, vitamin infused gel 
ormula to help stimulate hair follicules so your once thin and
sparse brows become thicker. Tame eyebrows with a fiber enhanced
eyebrow mascara formula for fuller and more natural looking brows.
The special fiber  nfused mascara grips onto even your finest brow
hair to create a beautiful healthy and enhanced look.

Directions
Use the “tame” mascara to brush onto eyebrows to define and keep them in place for a fuller and more tailored look. Use the “treat” gel to condition, repair and restore the eyebrows. Use  alone or underneath makeup.

Net Weight: Treat: 0.17oz / 5g
Tame: 0.17oz / 5g

I don't know how to use this Tame thingy. It just smudges all over
when I apply it. I'm thinking of switching the applicators. So that I will
use the "Mascara wand" fot the Treat side and the "Eyeliner" side for
the Tame side. Maybe I get more controll over the application that way.




Mechanical Eyelash Curler
This innovative eyelash curler has a special curved design
which angles to suit all eye shapes. Its silicone rubber pad
applies the appropriate amount of pressure to curl lashes naturally
and allows for damage-free heating. Get long-lasting curled lashes
both easily and safely. Add a swipe of e.l.f. Water and Earth Mascara
and curled lashes remain in perfect shape all day.

Nope the e.l.f. Water and Earth Mascara Duo did not keep
the shape of the curl. But the lash curler works perfect. And remember
to NEVER curl your lashes after applying mascara.

I got a weird brush and a great brush from e.l.f
Can you spot the weird one?!?

This is how wonky the Studio Kabuki brush
looked when I took it out from the package.



What is that?



I have had my kabuki for a while now. My sister just got hers
and I compared them. Guess what?!? Hers is so much more dense than mine.
Not at all uneven or weird.



But my Kabuki - Look at it... haha!
It is all uneven and weird still after washing it.


Blush Brush

Luckily I got a great brush. The e.l.f Studio Blush Brush. So soft and nice.
I have been using this for touch ups with my Translucent Matte Powder.


It's great that is is flat like that. Fits perfect under the eye area.
This brush works great. I have to get an other one of these.

Studio Makeup Mist & Set
Keep your makeup in place all day with a radiance boosting invisible hold. The invigorating mist moisturizes and soothes the skin with key ingredients Aloe, Green Tea, Cucumber and Vitamins A, C & E.
The lightweight, comfortable and alcohol free formula improves makeup wearability and prevents color from running or fading.
Spray a light mist 12-16 inches from your face with eyes closed after makeup application to set makeup in place
or during the day for a quick touchup to refresh.  Let it dry naturally or blot with a tissue to help speed dry.



Ingredients: (60ml)
 Water (Aqua), AMP-Acrylates/Allyl Methacrylate Copolymer, Propylene Glycol,
Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe) Leaf Juice, Green Tea (Camelia Sinensis) Extract,
Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vc),
Tocophryl Acetate (Ve) Retinyl Acytate (Va), Phenoxyethanol,
Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Butylparaben, Propylparaben, Isobutylparaben.

The thing about this one is that it actually works.
Some times my eyes water up when it is windy.
And my eye makeup end up on my cheeks.
This kept it in place.

What am I gonna think about all the parabens?


I wonder if it is too late to contact e.l.f about the wonky Kabuki???
I mean I have been using it. But I had nothing to compare
it with untill my sister got hers. I had no way of knowing.

NOTW - Mango Madness Konadicure


e.l.f Nail Polish - Mango Madness
This polish goes on really smooth. It's a bit sheer so I did 2 or 3 coats. 
But it is nice with just one coat, because it goes on with out beeing streaky.
I was surprised with the quality of this polish - better than some of my "High End".
 I wanted to add something "Springy" so I chose Konad Image Plate M74
And did the print with Konad Special Polish in white.
Then I added foil glue to adhere some glitter. I used  Iridescent glitter
- Mandarin Frost from Dollar Nail Art. I did a haul you can check out HERE

 Now on to Pictures take with different camera settings - all taken outside



Sun Light




This is a new color for me.
But I fell in love with it right away.
It feels so fresh.
