ELF COSMETICS: Long Lasting Lustrous Eye-shadow REVIEW
Hey you guys! - So I have previously taken advantage of ELF's 50% off everything inc sale items + Free delivery (in Feb)... not once... but twice! Elf also held this promotion in early march as a lovely spring welcome... and I may have accidently on purpose placed a third order with ELF. (if you ordered the same time as me, you may have noticed products may have increased).So I wanted to do a small review on one of the products I had purchased, along with some makeup looks I did with it, so if you want to find out my thoughts continue reading!

This product has to be one of my favourite's from ELF COSMETICS simply because it's absolutely genius. I am not a great fan of some powder eye-shadows on the market because even with a decent quality primer, the pigment looks fantastic on the brush and on the eye for about a minute. After that, the pigmentation is lost even with more applications, and it goes down hill from there....
This however! The consistency of the product is rather damp and almost gel like. From the first photo shown you can see how I have tilted the product to show you the product is somewhat solid yet liquid as it doesn't pour out like a standard eye-shadow or pigment would. It also has marks on the product where I have intentionally pressed the product to show you how gel like/damp it is. - The genius in this? You don't have to use a primer, and because the product is slightly damp the pigment picks up so fantastically it stays on all day.
I am consistently let down with brands selling their products to the public as 'long wear all day'. This eye shadow will stay on all day. To test this: I applied this at 9am in the morning and the product was still there (and still pigmented) until 4pm until I removed my makeup.
I bought my eye shadow in the shade of TOAST. This is a very beautiful gold shimmer eye shadow and looks fabulous with any colour! Gold is a very versatile product colour to have in your makeup collection.
PROS:
- does exactly what it states on the tin - It has a brilliant lasting power! minimum of 7 hours for me.
- Extremely pigmented especially when you pack on the colour (only a small amount is needed)
- Very cute and compact - Travel friendly
- No primer is required - Effectively a 2 in 1 product.
- impeccable quality for money - very cheap!
- I wish this product was bigger because I LOVE IT SO MUCH!
Concluding remarks
10/10 product!
This is an essential for your makeup bag. I will be buying every single colour. Self explanatory to how wonderful this product is when the only negative remark is that there should be more product because I love it so much!
