Best of E.L.F Cosmetics! (Review + Swatches!)

My Top 3! 

E.L.F is one of my favorite brands! There's so many things to try without breaking the bank and overtime I've fallen in love with their products, enough to earn a permanent spot in my makeup routine! :-)

Today I have my top three E.L.F products to share with you. This is what I was loving all throughout 2015 and carrying over to now! 

First off we have the E.L.F Baked Eyeshadow in Burnt Plum. Any of the baked shadows are amazing but my favorite is Burnt Plum! It makes a beautiful one shadow look since it can be worn wet or dry. You get tons of product and the baked formula is awesome!

Along the lines of baked products we have the E.L.F Baked Blush in Rich Rose. I loooooove this color! I'm surprised I still have so much left because this is a go to color for me. The veining turns this color into a warm peach-rose shade, so unique and beautiful when you wear it with a warm eyeshadow look! It's a great year round color.

Last but definetely not least is the E.L.F Contour Palette! <--------- You NEED this! This has to be my most favorite E.L.F purchase ever. I use it everyday, mainly for the banana powder to set my concealer. The highlight shade is alright so I don't get much use from that one. But the contour and bronzer shades are also amazing! The formula is very smooth and so easy to blend and for only $6... this is a steal!

Here is a swatch of the eyeshadow and blush! :-)

Hope this post was helpful if you've been wanting to try E.L.F and don't know where to start! I highly recommend these products and you can't go wrong because they are affordable but also great quality! :-)

Must Haves: E.L.F Studio Contour Palette!

Amazing & Affordable!

Right off the bat I want to let you know this palette is AH-MAY-ZING! :-) I've been testing it out and I'm truly impressed with this palette! The texture is really smooth and the pigmentation is awesome. The E.L.F Studio Contour Palette is available on their website and it's only $6... such a bargain!

I love their studio line packaging, it's always so sleek and compact! They have several other palettes in this style which is pretty cool because you can customize them. Each pan or square pops out and you can switch it out with one of their blush, bronzer and foundation pans!

Here's a closeup of what you get! The size of the pan is great and the color selection is perfect for light to medium skintones. Hopefully they release another one that's suitable for deeper skintones.

Here are the the swatches! The powders are super silky and easy to blend. The contour shade is a really nice shade, not too grey nor too brown...very natural! The bronzer is a beautiful color and it's matte which I prefer for year round. The banana powder is my favorite powder from the palette! It's so smooth and opaque, definitely brightens and helps prevent your concealer from creasing. Finally we have the white powder which is great to clean up my contour. Here's a picture of me wearing the palette.

Bottom line: I love this palette!! I own the Anastasia Beverly Hills and NYX contour palettes but I've been gravitating to this one more! The others are really good but there's tons of shades that I don't use. I find that this one has everything I need and that banana powder is so good! This is a gem for sure and the price is unbeatable. If you've been on the hunt for a contour palette this could be the on for you! :-)
