e.l.f. for Fall 2012 Swatches, Photos & Review
e.l.f. has some new makeup out this fall and the shades aren’t really your typical “fall look”.
Some of these items are really new and I don’t think they’re out yet. Forgive me for not knowing some of the names, they weren’t labeled and I can’t find them online yet,
Take a peek.
Flawless Eyeshadow in Party Purple
Base, Lid, Crease, Line (over primer)
As you can see the Party Purple palette comes in pink and purple shades and tells you what to put where on your eye. I wasn’t too impressed overall with the texture and payoff though. They felt a little rough and even over a primer I didn’t get huge, even payoff.
Blush in Flushed
Blush in Flushed
Loose Eyeshadow (sorry I don’t know the name and can’t find it online anywhere)
Jumbo Lip Gloss Stick (sorry not sure of the name)
Shimmer Lip Gloss in Fantasize
Flushed Blush, Loose Eyeshadow, Jumbo Lip Gloss Stick, Fantasize Shimmer Lip Gloss
Flushed is actually a really nice texture and has great payoff. It’s a really pretty medium pink with very slight golden shimmer.
The Loose Eyeshadow is a bright blue with metallic finish. It has kind of a smooth almost creamy texture and ok payoff.
The Jumbo Lip Gloss Stick is a very pale nude. It’s basically completely sheer.
Fantasize is a light mauve shade with golden shimmer. Fairly pale, not a lot of color impact.
Overall: Well there are things to consider. Overall I would say the payoff and saturation wasn’t what I would normally want, except for Flushed Blush. However, for the price, it’s not a huge loss.
Availability: Target and where-ever else e.l.f. is sold.
Pricing: $2-3.00 each.
Are you willing to take the gamble with less expensive makeup like e.l.f. or do you prefer a heftier price but better payoff?
-Kelly
Note: e.l.f. is cruelty free.
Do you like this product?
Ahh this is sad. I’m willing to tolerate minor flaws for the price, but lack of pigmentation is usually a bit annoying to work with so I think I’ll pass!

I use all kinds of make up I just love it all
i have quite a few e.l.f. products in my stash but agree that their shadows due tend to lack pigmentation. however, i’m still not completely confident in my artist skills so they’re nice for me to have on hand when i want to experiment. no great loss when a look doesn’t work because they are so inexpensive.

Not nearly enough pigmentation for me, although the blue is interesting.
Excited for the lip gloss sticks! e.l.f. looks like they’re hopping on the labeled shadows band wagon like Wet n’ Wild’s pallets. That’s great, IMO.
I’m hoping they will offer some deeper colors of the gloss sticks online
Thanks for reviewing some e.l.f. products! For those of us on a strict budget, these are really in our price range – so it’s helpful to know which e.l.f. products are worth our time, and which aren’t. I have e.l.f.’s eyeshadow primer, and it doesn’t last as long as the more expensive primers, but for a good 6 hours or so, it’s as good as gold, and it’s very easy on the wallet. More e.l.f. reviews pretty please! : )
Cannot wait to get our hands on the Jumbo Lip Gloss Stick. The best thing about these products is that they are so cheap and they are cruelty free unlike other cosmetics! Do you suggest these products for people with oily skin?

I voted No only because I didn’t care for anything other than the blush. That blush is a very pretty color and one I think I’d be able to wear.

I just got my first order of e.l.f. products last week. Some of the items are pretty darn good, others not at all. So, it’s definitely a crap shoot but sometimes it really pays off!

I love the blush! Btw, I read the previous post, Kelly. I hope things improve.

When it comes to eye shadow I’d rather go for the more expensive (except for wet n wild color icon). It takes too much time to make crappy shadows work, especially when you’re not an expert at applying them.
I do like how the pans on the eyeshadow palette are rectangle now. I didn’t like the triangle set up. I wonder if you layer them over a creamy base like a Maybelline eye tattoo they would work better.
I have all different price points in my makeup collection. I tend to spend the least on blush because my cheeks are naturally very rosy, the most on foundations, and run in the middle for everything else.
One thing though it has to be good and pigmented. $1 or $50, if it’s not being used, it’s a waste!

Wishing you well Kelly – hugs xxx
I have very recently tried ELF for the first time and have been quite pleased with what I tried – eye primer, a free bright blue eye shadow which is great as an eyeliner, a four colour face powder and a concealer. Great for the price xx
I like the blush, but otherwise…eh.
Thanks for the review! I like their brushes but haven’t tried the makeup. It looks pretty in the pan but with the texture & lack of payoff, I think I can pass on this.
e.l.f. Usually leaves something to be desired but most of their products are good for the prices. “You get what you pay for” doesn’t always apply to them. I really like the blush and loose eye powder. Simply lovely
That blue is rockin!

I like the way the eye-shadow packaging looks – so luxe in your photos!
But the colours don’t really move me, so I won’t be purchasing it.
The other products also aren’t calling out to me, which is good because then I can save my money.
Thanks for taking the time to show us swatches of all these products. It’s a lot of work, and it’s greatly appreciated!

wheren did you find these products? ( the pigment eyeshados and the gloss stick)???
Thanks for the swatches. Their products always look so pretty, but I am never truly satisfied with them. Better to save my money for something I really love.
