e.l.f. Studio 83 Piece Essential Makeup Collection


   

This is pretty much my first time ever using elf makeup, and I had an all right experience with it. 
The swatches show the bronzers, the blushes, and one row of eye shadows. 

Good:
There's a lot of great things about this makeup kit. I love how many different shades of everything it comes with. It has 64 eye shadows, 8 lip glosses, 4 blushes, 4 bronzers, and 3 brushes. If I need a specific color eye shadow, I go to this kit because it has so many different shades. I love the blush colors! Especially that orange one. It's perfect for summer!
The colors stay on pretty long. Probably not 12 hour wear, but long enough that I don't feel like I need to reapply often.  It folds up nicely into a relatively small carry case. 
The best part is how affordable elf products are! This kit sells for $20 online. 

Bad:
The lip glosses. I'm not sure why, but when lip gloss comes in a palette like this it grosses me out. I won't ever use it. (That's just a personal preference though.)
The second main thing is that this makeup is super messy. When I get eye shadow there is a lot of fall out. This is true for the blushes and bronzers as well. 
The brushes in this kit are so bad. I don't know any other way to describe it, which is strange because I own quite a few elf brushes and I really like them, but the brushes in this kit are really cheap! 

Is it worth the money? Yeah! You get so much makeup for such a small price!

  8. I usually like Elf products, but every now and then I come across one that just doesn't work for me at all. That kit offers a lot of variety for quite affordable price, too bad the lipgloss didn't work for you!

  10. Wow, I love the selection! I get bored so easily so a fantastic array of colours and products within one box is awesome ;-)

    Completely relate to you not liking those type of lip glosses-- I've always felt the same way too! Even though I buy mostly all of my products on a budget basis and don't really go in for higher end products, I just can't do those sort of lipgloss; there's just something so cheap and gimmicky about it that makes me feel as though the product will be no good whatsoever. I've tried a few before and the colour hardly shows or even seems like anything other than a mess.

    Saying that it's fab there were lots of parts you liked, and even better you found it worth the value! The blushes and eyeshadows look heavenly and so diverse (:
