elf is having a large sale in an effort to clean out their warehouse. Because of this, I am doing an elf haul 4 to help them with the task. I am pleasantly surprised to see some items included in the sale that that I have never heard of. Also, I am trying some newer products. I will be doing reviews and swatches of everything, so let’s get started.
elf Brightening Eye Color
I am starting this elf haul 4 with the Brightening Eye Color. Unfortunately, these eyeshadows have very poor color payoff. However, the formula is soft. If you are someone who is not interested in a dramatic eye, these are for you.
Luxe
Drama
Butternut
elf Flawless Eyeshadow in Party Purple
Second is a Flawless Eyeshadow in Party Purple. This product has better color payoff than the Brightening Eyeshadow. For the $1 price tag the quality is not bad.
elf Luscious Liquid Lipsticks
Third are the Luscious Liquid Lipsticks. Formula wise they look and feel like a sticky, sheer lip gloss. They stay sticky and wet over time, meaning they will transfer. Also, it takes forever to prepare these for first use. You have to keep twisting the end for some time before the product dispenses. Raspberry has the best color payoff.
Pink Lemonade
Baby Lips
Nude Pink
Ruby Slipper
Strawberry
Raspberry
elf Essential Lipstick
Fourth are some Essential Lipsticks. These lipsticks appear to be as good as your average drugstore lipstick. They are not incredible, but they will function as a basic lipstick, which is their purpose. Color payoff is what I would expect. A caution with these- the lids do not actually snap on, meaning they fall off easily.
Posh
Nostalgic
Fearless
Flirtatious
Sociable
elf Matte Lip Color
Next are the Matte Lip Colors. These products have great color payoff, and are effectively matte. Also, they do not dry out your lips! They have good staying power. I can eat and drink with them on, and only do a minor touch-up afterwards. Seriously, you need to get these things. I am digging Praline and Natural right now.
Fuchsia
Praline
Rich Red
Natural
elf Pressed Mineral Bronzer in Baked Peach & Caramel Cabana
First, I love the packaging of these bronzers. They give a more high-end feel. The pigmentation is pretty good. Caramel Cabana is a darker bronzer, and I am just obsessed with it. Overall, these are good and worth your money.
elf Baked Bronzer in Maui
You have to keep rubbing your brush in the Baked Bronzer a lot in order to get any pigment on the brush. It does work and look fine…eventually. The baked bronzers and highlighters are not my favorite elf products.
elf Blush with Brush in Innocence
This Blush with Brush in the shade Innocence is perfect for more natural/nude makeup looks. Very soft formula as well.
elf Blush in Giddy Gold
I am not sure how much use I will get out of this blush, since it is a gold shade. It reminds me more of a bronzer than a blush. However, I do not want to discredit it without giving it a try.
elf HD Blush in Showstopper
While swatching the HD Blush I am only using one pump. Let me tell you, a little goes a mile. Check out the photo below as proof! In an attempt to blend the product with my finger, the pigment is still intense. Honestly, it is not easy to wash this stuff off either. Overall, I am not sure if I will ever use this, because the color is overly intense (even when blended), and does not wash off easily. My recommendation is to try using only half a pump, or less.
elf 3-Piece Nail Polish Sets
elf nail polish tends to chip pretty quickly, but I am a nail polish collector, so I am purchasing everything I can get my hands on. I do like the colors and the themes. I am super excited for the natural colors to beef up my collection.
Beach Party
Mysterious
Nice & Natural
Beautifully Bright
Party Peach
Yellow
Teal Blue
elf Nail Polish Set in Jazzy Berry & Meadow Mist
I am intrigued by the stickers that say “new formula.” I am hoping this means they will not chip as fast.
elf Sculpting Face Brush
The last product in this elf haul 4 is the Sculpting Face Brush. It appears to be a knock-off of some other new, high-end sculpting brushes. Its slanted design improves my bronzer application. Of course, the brush quality is just as good as the more expensive brushes. You should buy this brush.
This concludes my elf haul 4. Tell me in the comments which of these products is your favorite, or even which ones you own. Also, if you like hauls such as this, give a shout out in the comments. Have a question about any of these products? Let me know. Until next time, continue to let your true beauty shine.
