Review: E.L.F. - Mineral Lipstick Cool Coral

Hello Beauty Junkies ~





I love E.L.F. products. Well, not all of them, but a few are just gorgeous! So I got me a lipstick from the mineral line. Actually I don't like mineral cosmetic that much, but this color looked amazing, so I gave it a try.

First things first: DON'T TRUST THE SWATCHES ON THE WEBSITE!











On the website Cool Coral appears lighter, but in reality it's darker and higher pigmented. It's a rosy-redish coral with some golden shimmer in it.
Because this lippie is mineral oil free it's very moisturising and last at least 4 hours. The packaging is simple, a basic black with the logo on top of it, but I like it.
The quality is really great for the price (£3.50) and I will definitely buy some other shades in the future.
Like I said before: if you want to purchase them online you should look for some swatches online, otherwise you will be surprised (and disappointed?).

Review: E.L.F. - Tone Correcting Concealer

Hello Beauty Junkies~





When I purchased the first time from E.L.F. I also bought this concealer. It was only £1,50 so if it won't work it would be okay hence I didn't wasted too much money on it.
I got it in Ivory, actually I was surprised that they offer so many different shades. Hence it was pretty cheap I was sceptical whether it would work for me. After I tried it on I was really disappointed.



(before)

(after 3 coats/ the lighting has changed)

My dark circles aren't that bad, but I need an average coverage to be satisfied and this product didn't cover them at all.
Perhaps it is because of the liquid, thin and watery consistency that it won't work as I hoped it would. Furthermore the concealer is very oily. Back then I used it to cover some blemishes but it broke me out.
It also creases a lot, when it dried you will see the product hence it darkened a lot. It might work as a highlighter for some, but as fas as I know is Ivory the lightes color they offer so I can't use it to brighten my skin. The concealer also has some orange smell which I don't mind but think is unnecessary unless you apply it under your nose area.

I don't recommend this concealer, cheap in price and quality.
