So Today Just wanted to do a quick talk about my experience with E.L.F cosmetics and in particular the product I have which is this black beauty book.
This was brought for me as a present from America as E.L.F cannot be brought in stores in the U.K and is only available to buy online. This can be a bit of an issue as you cannot test products or swatch them before hand but as they are such low prices even if you realise you dislike the product you haven't lost a great deal of money.
I have no idea why the image is upside-down but I apologise for the fact my palette is quite messy. As you can see, one side is eyeshadows and the other side contains a mirror and a selection of lip glosses. This is the cool collection which is why its a variety of blues, greens, and purples. Now these are not colours I wear often if ever so this palette rarely gets used as far as eyeshadows are concerned - with the exception of the white which I hit pan on and is very well loved. I find they don't have the greatest staying power and arn't the best formula but considering they tend to be a low price I wouldn't complain.
On the other hand, the lipglosses are very used and I have hit pan on a few of them. There is a good selection of warm colours which are nicely pigmented and I used to wear a lot as a lipstick substitute. There are a few colours I haven't used much but mostly the colours are very wearable and also nice if to blend together.
Now this is a common palette problem when you have gellish and cream consistencies in with powders and that is that you find the powders break up and dust from them ends up in the other product. As you may be able to see, the black eyeshadow has mixed slightly with a few of the lipglosses where the book has been closed. Also the powder covers the mirror often so i find its easier to use my main mirror instead of cleaning the little one each time.
This is of course not a new palette, I have infact had it for about a year so that contributes slightly to that issue but as I doubt anyone would use this up quickly I would just say its a thing to look out for. If for example they had a plastic insert inbetween the two sides that would maybe prevent this.

Overall I love this product for its handy size and variety and is great for on a budget. I would definitely buy another.
