Yes, I'm talking about E.L.F. cosmetics again! I told you I was addicted to the stuff! I got such a great deal on some of the new stuff I had to blog about it! They (ELF) made me an offer I couldn't refuse you see. They were offering me 50% off! Every female should be able to relate to that, right? I purchased (on line) the five Super Glossy lip shines, the five Summer ready nail polishes and the five Shimmer Lip Gloss collection.


(from left to right- Mango Madness, Candlelight, Pink Lemonade,pink kiss, and Trendsetter.)

These lip glosses are very pigmented and thick. By themselves they are great. Using them over a lip pencil or lip stick is really great too. I've used them all three ways and just love them! They won't 'bleed' on mature lips like many other lip glosses tend to do. I'm wondering to myself why I didnt' get more than one collection at 50% off!

The ELF Shimmer lip glosses are not as pigmented and I've found they are more shimmery in the tube than on the lip. I much prefer the Super glossy lip shines.

For the swatch I had to go pretty heavy with the application to get them to show up in the picture. They looked more sheer on my lips.

I've not swatched the ELF nail polishes yet, however, I'm wearing the Mango Madness and its the only one I've used so far. I've applied two coats and used a nail strengthener as a top coat. I'm finding after washing dishes, hands, and bathing that its got good staying power. It could be due to the top coat but then again I've used the same top coat with other polishes that have not endured for more than a couple days. The ELF polish has lasted me a good week so far and the picture was taken only an hour before uploading it here. Hopefully you'll be able to tell from the picture that it could last for maybe a few more days and still look good.

I'll be posting another blog entry featuring the other colors of the ELF nail polish collection.
