ELF Haul!

Hey guys today I have my first EVER ELF haul for you! I have never ordered from ELF in the past but they recently had a offer on around 2 weekends ago. The offer was if you spent over £10, You got free shipping and a free mystery bag. The mystery bag had a value of £9. Amazing deal ELF! So I snapped up the chance of this amazing offer and ordered. The free delivery was the 'Standard delivery' option, and I was surprised at how quick it was. I ordered Saturday morning and it arrived at my house by 9AM Tuesday (31st Jan)! Anyway lets begin!  

My lovely goodies!

What was in my mystery bag?
The mystery bag had a value of £9 and I received 4 items! I was so shocked! Thankyou ELF! 

First in my mystery bag I got a 'Travel Mirror'. This mirror is from ELF's 'Gem tools' collection. The mirror retails for £2.50 and you can get it here.

One side of the mirror is magnified (The right) and the other is normal! This mirror is very compact and a great size for keeping either in a bag or school blazer! 

The second item is the 'Shimmer Eyeliner Pencil' in Plum Passion. This retails for £1.50 (Now just £1 while on  offer!) On the website. Buy it here.

A swatch of this gorgeous shimmery colour! 

I'm not normally a person to wear eyeliner, especially a purple shade! I have tested this out and the consistency is amazing! Its so creamy and glides over the lid/waterline very easily. Also as you can tell by the swatch it is very pigmented! 

Bonus! Also comes with a sharpener built into the lid!

In the mystery bag I also got two nail polishes! These two shades are so nice, I haven't tried them out yet on my nails but from the bottle I love them!

The first one is in '1570 Metal Madness'. 

This is a grey/charcoal shade with hints of silver and some sparkles in. A great nailpolish for parties/night time!

The second one I got from the mystery bag is '1565 Purple Pleaser'. 

This colour is a very deep/rich purple. I love it! 

Now onto the things I originally brought myself! 

First up is a 'Super glossy lip shine with SPF 15'. Mine is in the shade 'Party Peach'. This lipgloss is in the tube form and I love it so far. It doesn't give too much colour on the lips which I like. It is also a very portable size so I love to keep in my school blazer! This product smells amazing too! Its a very sweet smelling scent so it might not appeal to everybody's tastes but I love it. 

The lipgloss retails for £1.50 on the website and you can buy it here.

Another product I decided to try out is the Elf Therapeutic Conditioning Balm. Mine is in the shade 'Blackberry  Crème'. This product retails for £1.50 and you can buy it here. This balm is so moisturising for just £1.50! The scent is so nice, I wouldn't say that it smells of blackberry's but it definitely isn't a bad smell. 

Like I said it is very moisturising, but it doesn't stay for very long on your lips so you do have to keep re-applying it. Also the balm itself doesn't have a very big surface area. So it doesn't cover all of your lip in one use. This balm leaves no colour on your lips after applying which is good!

I also decided to add the ELF Natural Radiance Blusher to my 'Shopping bag'. This retails for a mere £1.50 and can be purchased here. Mine is in the shade' Innocence'.When I first opened the blusher, I was taken back at how small the packaging was! I always thought from the website picture that it was so much bigger. As it is so small it is a downside to the product for me. I can hardly get my blusher brush in to pick up enough product! 

Also what's kind of strange about this product is how you open it. I was there for at least 10 minutes trying to open this. I didn't realise to open it you just needed to slide the tray from underneath! 

- Sorry for the bad lighting! -

Here is the swatch, Innocence is a very baby pink shade so great for paler skin tones. (Like me!). But again this isn't very pigmented so you need to get a lot onto your brush.

I have heard such great things about ELF's lipsticks, I just had to try one out! And for only £1.50 I just had to try it! You can buy the product here. Mine is in the shade 'Seductive'. ELF are prone to having their swatches on the site different from the actual product, And here is a example. I picked this colour hoping for a nice pinky shade (Like the website shows) But instead I got a matt off-redish colour. 

It does have some hints of pink in but when on your lips its a matt red.

Here is the swatch it prove it. I suppose I'm not too disappointed with this, as it was only £1.50. But dark lipsticks just don't suite my pale complexion! 

I also brought two nailpolishes. So in total by the end I had 4! Result! This first one is in '1507 Gum Pink'. You can buy any of the ELF nailpolishes here. (They retail for just £1.50!).

This is a really nice vibrant pink shade, not one for school but I can't wait to try it out! 

My final nail polish is in '1503 Nude'. I brought this colour for school as I am allowed to wear pale colours. 

Such a nice colour! Can't wait to test it out! 

Finally I decided to order two of ELF's professional line brushes. All of the brushes retail for £1.50 and can be brought here. The first brush I decided to get was the foundation brush. 

This brush is so soft and feels such good quality! It doesn't seem to be shedding and also the bristles of the brush itself are very long so you cover more of your face faster! Overall I love this for just £1.50!

The second brush I decided to get was the ELF eyeshadow brush. I have heard such great things about this brush I just had to try it out. This again was only £1.50. 

This brush doesn't feel as good a quality as the foundation brush and is already starting to shed, But it picks up just the right amount of product you need and covers the lid very well! 

Well that's it for my elf haul! I hope you all enjoyed seeing what I brought!

Did you take up this offer? What did you get in your  mystery bag?
