We all know that even though I love my high end beauty products but high street beauty brands are literally where my heart is. The fact that you can get incredible products right on the high street for a fraction of the price. I’ve actually talked about E.L.F a lot on my blog, however this is the first time I’ve done a dedicated blog post for it because I really feel like the brand needs to be talked about a lot more. Not only do they have incredible make up, but incredible brushes too!
E.L.F Blemish Control Primer
I’ve talked about this primer a lot, mainly because it is one of my favourites and especially when I’ve had a massive break out it is one of my go to products and really helps the application of my make up on my spots! It’s an amazing consistency, melts into the skin and not only that it keeps your make up in place all day so perfectly!
E.L.F Prep & Blur Stick
I use this mainly around my nose, because I have pores the size of craters and this really helps to fill my pores and smooth the skin, it blurs and allows your skin to look absolutely flawless! If you’re looking for a stick that is really easy to use, doesn’t feel heavy on the skin and mattifies your face, then this is the primer for you!
E.L.F Flawless Finish Light Ivory Foundation
A good foundation goes such a long way in my opinion, this one is an absolute holy grail, it doesn’t oxidise on my skin, it gives a very smooth finish and not only that even though it is quite thick, it doesn’t feel it on the skin. I get a lot of redness on my skin, especially around my nose and this really does cover and diffuse all the redness around my nose! It’s such a good foundation!
E.L.F Make Up Fixing Mist
I always need a good setting spray, this one from a drug store is so affordable and so good on the skin. It really does work well to keep it in place, I’ve tested it and it has lasted about 13 hours on the skin, without my make up budging! The other thing I love about this is it doesn’t feel sticky on the skin, some that I have tried previously honestly feel like glue on my face, this one is one of my favourites for that reason! It leaves a demi-matte finish and leaves the skin feeling so good!
E.L.F Natural Glow Lotion
On days where I don’t want to wear a lot of make up, I use this product and honestly it is an absolute dream come true! It is a super hydrating lotion, I personally find it soothes the skin and leaves your skin highlighted and glowing! I also use this under a light foundation or a BB cream, and it looks incredible, you are left with the dewy glow that looks absolutely incredible!
E.L.F Total Face Make Up Palette
We all know when it comes to a highlighter, my heart beats a little faster, so this palette even though it is a total face product, it has the most gorgeous highlighter in it. The palette is really pigmented, and the contour shade in the bottom right is absolutely perfect for my skin tone. As I am very fair blends perfectly into the skin, don’t use too much as I found these powders are pigmented!
These shades blend out really easily on the skin, so if you’re a new to this palette or you’re wanting a subtle look, then this palette is incredible, and the highlighter honestly has such an incredibly special place in my heart, it is subtle and perfect for the brow bone, however if you want to intensify it on your cheek bone, use some setting spray and see that glow intensify!
E.L.F Instant Lift Brow Pencil
I love looking after my brows and I am very lucky to have quite bushy brows naturally, however I have sparse areas on my eyebrows, so using this is such an easy product, to fill in, to thicken certain parts of my brows up and it’s cheap! It’s £3.00 and so easy to us! If you’re looking for a brow pencil that lasts a long time, doesn’t wear off and leaves your brows looking incredible, then this is the product for you!
E.L.F Moonlight Pearls Baked Highlighter
Since this highlighter was released, I’d put it back at least 7 times, however as soon as I picked it up, I tried to figure out why I kept doing it, because honestly this highlighter is stunning! It’s such a gorgeous glow, and it looks slightly like glitter on the skin, but it shimmers and glows so incredibly! I love it so much.
It looks slightly like a wet glow, but as long as I shimmer and glow, I honestly don’t care, this highlighter is stunning! Being a highlighter addict, I feel like we all need this in our collection!
E.L.F Precision Multi Blender Massager Makeup Brush
This is probably one of the oddest brushes I’d ever used but honestly it one of my go to foundation brushes right now! It really helps to spread the foundation evenly all over the face without removing all your foundation and leaving you with streaks over your face. Not only that it helps to get the most coverage out of my foundation! One thing that I do know about this brush is the fact that it helps to get the foundation into ever corner of your face, especially around your nose!
E.L.F Ultimate Kabuki Brush
I love a kabuki brush especially this one! It allows you to create the greatest contour and you don’t have to worry about loose bristles, chunky contour and the brush makes everything really easy! The bristles are super soft on the skin too, which is always something I look for in a brush!
So that is my ultimate E.L.F cosmetics favourites! What are your favourites? Let me know in the comments!

I have heard amazing things about the highlighter!
Honestly the highlighter is gorgeous! xxxxx
I adore their products too. I’ve been ordering off them for so long, in fact, when I first started ordering I had to get it shipped from the US as it wasn’t available here. They do some really great products. One of my faves is their HD Under Eye Powder. That stuff is BRILLIANT! I haven’t actually bought anything from them in a while though and after reading your post, I may need to have a look-see lol 🙂 x
I only properly started using them when they stocked in the UK but I adore them so much! xxxx
I haven’t ever heard of these but they look an sound fabulous! xxx
They’re amazing! You can pick them up in Superdrug! xxxx
I have loads of elf eye products xx
They’re literally an incredible brand! xxxx
I used to love ELF products x

I love the things you mentioned.

I love the sound of the primer, it sounds perfect! The prep and blur stick sounds like something I need in my life haha.
Cora | http://www.teapartyprincess.co.uk/
The primers are perfect! I’d definitely recommend you giving them a go! xxxx
I haven’t come across ELF before I’m not sure where to buy but they sound very reasonable and I love a good setting spray. Your description of the blemish primer is great as this sounds just the thing I need. Fab review!
You can get them from Superdrug or on their website! I’ve linked everything in for you my lovely! xxxx
There are so many e.l.f. products that I want to try. I’ve heard their selection of primers is amazing. This highlighter also looks beautiful! I’m so glad more and more US brands are making their way to the UK.

I know, I love it so much! Colour Pop would be the next one I’d love to come over here! xxxx
Oooh the highlighter looks so pretty! x
Honestly the highlighter is stunning! xxxx
I always see elf products in my local Superdrug but I’ve never tried any of them! This was a great review and I’ll definitely have a look at their products next time I’m out shopping, in my opinion you can’t beat drugstore products!

Honestly they’re so worth it, and the quality is just amazing! Let me know if you pick anything up! xxxx
Love this post! I love Elf, I’ve only tried a couple of their products but I definitely want to try more. Their undereye setting powder is seriously amazing xx
Oooh I don’t have that! Will have to pick it up! xxxx
I love that you did a dedicated post on this brand! This brought me back to memories, back when I first started really getting into makeup, I used E.L.F! I remember going into my local grocery store actually and seeing their makeup all for just $1 here in America! So I bought them all, and started playing around with makeup, it was surprisingly great quality for the price. I’m not sure how much it is now here in America, but nevertheless, great brand!
Chelsea ♡ http://www.thedailychelsea.com
It’s such great quality, I’m in love with their brand! xxxx
I’ve never used any E.L.F products, but after reading this I might just have to invest in some! I especially like the sound of the foundation; most foundations oxidise really badly on me, so you mentioning this one doesn’t for you sounds positive 🙂 xxx
Jade | jademarie.co.uk
The foundation is so good! I’m so impressed, it didn’t oxidise on me and gave fabulous coverage! xxx
Yes, I love E.L.F.! Affordable and cruelty free :). And their branding is SUPER cute. Packaging is major to me.
I adore their brand so much and they offer so much, I’m in love with the brand! xxxx
ok girl you KNOW how much i looooove elf! i think we have the exact same collection haha!
I was so close to buying some ELF brushes on sunday and i didn’t and now i regret it soooo much!
Rosie
You need to! The brushes are just so good! xxxxx
Love this review! I will definitely have to try the setting spray, as 13 hours is so good!
Jas xx | https://thoughtsfromjasmine.co.uk
It’s amazing! I’m so impressed with the setting spray! xxxx
ELF is one of my all time favourite brands babe so I really enjoyed reading this blog post. Your pictures are so beautitul too, 💗
With love, Alisha Valerie x
Awh thank you so much my lovely the products just speak for themselves! xxxx
I love how simple ELF products look. Glad the products worked well! Big plus with the mist lasting over 12 hours. I need to check that out! For the amount you paid for the brow pencil, you got a great deal.
Nancy ♥ exquisitely.me
It definitely was a great deal on the brow pencil and the mist is honestly incredible! xxx
ELF has so many amazing things! The highlighter sounds amazing and I really want to try out the precision makeup brush, it sure looks unique and I want a change!
Melissa 🌙 | Moonlight Mel
The highlighter is amazing, and gives the most gorgeous glow! xxxx
I love ELF and I have that palette and use it ALL the time! x
It’s currently my go to palette! xxxx
im a bit meh about ELF, i tried the foundation for a while and it has wonderful coverage and felt good on my skin but it caused me to break out really badly.
Oh my gosh that is awful! There’s a few more products that you would love my darling! xxx
I’ve always wanted to try elf products, I’ve heard such great things about them but just never got round to buying anything. These products sound amazing though, especially the blur stick and the setting spray, I’ve been after an affordable one of those for such a long time! Might have to make a few purchases. Loved this post xx
They’re one of the best brands, their products are incredible and not only that for the price they’re so worth it! xxxx
I’ve wanted to try ELF for the longest time but I still haven’t got around to it! Love the look of the highlighter!
Alice Xx
You need the highlighter, it is gorgeous! xxxxx
I love ELF too!! I’ve not been wearing makeup recently but when I do they’re one of my go to brands! I’ve not tried their brushes yet though (maybe next time I see them I’ll give them a try!) x
Their brushes are incredible, super fluffy and soft! xxxx
This isn’t my strong point but how you’ve described them, they all sound great! Maybe I’ll do some shopping and treat my girlfried, sure she would love them!
Your girlfriend would absolutely love them! They’re such a good brand! xxxx
I’ve never tried ELF – I remember looking on their website ages ago and thought everything was super cheap! I think I may have got put off because I never put an order in – Sounds too good to be true right? I may give their brushes a go in future. I think I have gotten to a point with makeup where I try to only buy what I actually need and when I do I like it to be either things I already know I love or high end treats. I find I end up purchasing too many things that I just never use.

I’d definitely recommend trying elf my darling! Their products are absolutely incredible and I think you would love it! If you’re looking for something specific or something you would use everyday like a contour or a foundation I’d definitely recommend them! xxxx
Ooh! I have never heard of this brand before but there stuff sounds really good. I also have really open pores around my nose and have tried so many different products. Looks like I need to hunt this one down – thanks!
I have huge pores and I use the blur primer and the blemish one and it works wonders! xxxx
I love ELF! They definitely have some fantastic products for great prices! Thank you for sharing!
Their quality is incredible too! I love them so much! xxxx
I haven’t tried E.L.F. since they came to the UK strangely. I’m definitely gonna have to try out the highlighter!
Jemina || http://www.jeminamarina.co.uk
The highlighter is amazing! Let me know if you try them darling! xxxx
I’ve heard so many great things about Elf Beauty but have never given their products a try. I love the sound of their prep and blur stick, sounds like the perfect base under make-up. Lovely blog post!

The prep and blur stick really does work as an incredible base and feels so good under make up! xxxx
I don’t think I’ve ever tried anything from ELF! They’re not really a brand I hear a lot about, although they used to be. It’s great that you’ve found so many affordable products that you love. I think the Glow Lotion sounds amazing for my dry skin. I’ll have to finally get around to trying something x

I feel like they don’t get the talk that they deserve, they’re an amazing brand and deserve so much hype! xxxx
I’ve heard of E.L.F but never used their products, it’s amazingly affordable. I have awful dry skin in the winter, so Glow Lotion will be perfect for sorting it out.
Amy | hookedonthemusic.com
The glow lotion is amazing! I love their products and there are so many amazing options that they offer! xxxx
I’ve never tried anything from Elf before but I’ve heard such good things! They are so affordable so I’ll definitely have to pick a few bits up soon xx
Tiffany x http://www.foodandotherloves.co.uk
You should definitely try them my darling! Their products are so worth it! xxxx
Love ELF, my go-to. Good value brand.. and find it better than Superdrug’s own B. But.. ELF are huge so obv 🙂
They’re such an amazing brand, I adore them so much! xxxx
I’ve never tried this brand before, I’ve heard such good things, and after this post I’m really eager to try them!
Charlene McElhinney / @blogabtnothing1
They’re such an amazing brand, you should 100% check them out my lovely! xxxx
I swear by my ELF Foundation – I love it! The highlighter looks incredible as well as the brow pencil. Got to give these a go!
It’s such a good foundation isn’t it? The highlighter glows perfectly and the brow pencil is amazing! xxxx
Love the look of the natural glow lotion, might have to give that one a try! This is a great review

They’re such an amazing brand, I love their products! xxxx
Super intrigued by the Primer. That’s always been a product that I’m clueless about, as I never truly know when it’s working… I’ve tried a couple ELF products that were really not that good but I’m definitely open to trying out a few more.
jenny x | http://www.jennyrosee.com
The primer is amazing, I use the blur one around my nose and the blemish one around the rest of my face!! xxxx
I love elf! I’m a huge fan of that primer. I need to try more products though.
Siobhan x ~ Vegan Babe Life
Their products are just incredible! xxxx
I love the packaging! As if the name alone doesn’t make me want to try it. I’m loving your post so much, highlighter looks fab and those brushes 😍 I just want to buy it all.
