I found this one online at crush cosmetics when I was buying the Contour Palette reviewed here and since it was only $AU4.95 I thought I'll give it a go.
I bought it in the colour Apricot Beige, which is the lightest one available. It looks really light in the swatch above but it blended away invisibily on my skintone, which is a MAC NC25.

I would definitely purchase this again! And I do hope that shops in Sydney start stocking elf products too because if this concealer is anything to go by then I want to try other products too.
Have you tried elf before? And Aussie readers, if you know of a shop that stocks elf let me know please!
You can't get ELF in Australia at all as far as I'm aware, but you can buy a lot of it online pretty cheaply from Nonpareil Boutique. There is an ELF website as well, but they don't ship internationally. :-(
ReplyDeleteI've tried quite a lot of their products and they're very hit and miss - some are fantastic and some are rubbish. Off the top of my head, the ones I really like are:
*Liquid lipsticks - swatches of the ones I've got if you're interested..

*Studio blush
*Studio single eyeshadows
*Loose powder eyeshadows
*All In One sticks
*Mineral lipsticks - swatches of mine

*Blush & Bronzer combo
The things I personally don't care for (others may disagree) are the Eye Beauty Encyclopedia thing (I have Sparkle Eyes and it's chalky and dusty and kind of horrible), and the little triangular eye shadow quads (not much pigmentation). Oh, and I hated the eye primer. I tried it a couple of times and threw it out.
I should really swatch the rest of my ELF stuff. That might be a project for when I'm on holiday next week. :-)
Okay, that was kind of a novel - sorry about that!
ReplyDeleteI have been meaning to try the E.L.F. All Over Color Stick. It looks so great! And I love the coverage it gave for you. I have horrible dark circles myself, I may just give this concealer/foundation a go :)
ReplyDeleteYes definitely give it a try Alina, it might be too heavy as foundation but great under the eyes.

ELF cosmetics launched itself in Australia late last year.
ReplyDeleteThey're bringing in more products in Feb 2011 and their shipping is from Melbourne and is quite cheap.

ReplyDeleteHi! I love ELF cosmetics, I have ordered approximatley 20 products from the Australian website, and i'm very happy with the quality of them so far. I will be reviewing them soon on my blog, because ELF definitely deserves a lot of beauty love!
