Tried out 2 of my ELF cosmetics products yesterday.
The first is ‘
ELF mineral eye brightener in buff‘
£3.95 and you can purchase it from this link:

What is it meant to do?
‘Perk up those tired eyes and diminish the appearance of dark shadows
with the Eye Brightener. Infused with Chamomile, Green Tea, Mulberry and
Vitamins C & E to nourish, tighten and refresh! Great for using as
an eyeshadow base or around the nose, lips and anywhere you want to
brighten and revitalise.’
My experience:
The directions say to use it to brighten your eyes by applying it in the
corners, however I found it amazing at helping to blend the edges of my
eyeshadow to lessen the harshness. All I did was use a little of the
product with my eyeshadow blending brush and proceeded to blend the
edges and up to the brow bone as well as under the lower lashes. The
product is light and colourless which is perfect for what I used it for.
Overall opinion:
It does what it says and more. Multi-use cosmetics are always a positive.

The second item I tried out was the ‘ELF zit zapping concealer’ £2.95 in fair and you can buy it from this link:
http://eyeslipsface.co.uk/en/restofworld/concealer/zit-zapping-concealer/invt/23160
What is it meant to do?
The 2-in-1 Zit Zapping Concealer fights and prevents
acne with the unique blend of Salicylic Acid, Tea Tree Oil and Camphor.
Safe and gentle formula minimises pores while hiding and concealing
blemishes.
My experience:
I used it a few weeks ago on a full face of make up and it has complete
coverage. I’m officially in love with this item after yesterday though.
The weather was really warm for England and I didn’t fancy a full face
of foundation so I thought to apply some of this concealer to a few
blemished on my chin and the redness on my cheeks, in between my
eyebrows and the dark areas under my eyes. It completely covered all
redness and blended so well. It is a heavy product but you don’t need to
use much so it feels like you have nothing on your face. Plus it smells
of tea tree and doesn’t make me break out.
Overall opinion:
A new must-have in my personal make up bag. When opening a salon I will be purchasing the other shades.

The image below shows what my skin looked like with just the concealer and a bit of bronzer/blusher on my cheek bone.
I also used the eye brightener to blend out the eyeshadow.
