ELF; pink passion. lip primer

After my recent elf haul I decided I needed to try more products from the Studio Line. At just £3.50 for most items I was amazed at the pigmentation and quality and the wide range of products! If you haven't heard of ELF yet, have a browse of their website eyeslipsface.co.uk/

E.L.F Studio Blush in 'Pink Passion' - £3.50
After falling in love with 'Candid Coral' this was the next blusher from E.L.F I had my eye on. The colour is a gorgeous, vibrant Barbie pink, completely matte and incredibly pigmented. I can see this lasting me months as you only need a teeny tiny amount on your brush, the swatch below is from just one swipe of the product.
The blusher itself feels really silky and finely milled and blends really well into the skin. The packaging is sleek, yet simplistic and even has a little mirror as well as keeping the product securely in place.

E.L.F Studio Lip Primer & Plumper - £3.50

This really interested me as I love lip balms and always blank out my lips with a nude shade to intensify the colour of lipsticks. As you can see one side has a transparent balm which claims to 'plump' your lips in preparation for the primer and then your lip colour.
The primer smells quite strongly of menthol and cinnamon which is a refreshing change to the usual fruity scents most products have. As soon as I popped it on my lips I could definitely feel it tingling away, I didn't notice a huge difference but it plumped out the fine lines.


The primer should be applied onto exfoliated, smooth lips with the primer beneath as it can be slightly drying then blend with your finger. Just as an eyelid primer would, it blanks out most of the colour and gives your lipstick a good base to stick to increasing longevity.

  8. I've only recently started getting into ELF but I agree--their blushes are pretty good. I recently learned that their Fuchsia Fusion blush is a dupe of NARS Angelika.
