e.l.f lipstick - gypsy

I haven't even had this lipstick two weeks yet, and it's already up there in my top five. E.l.f describe it as "deep cool pink sheer", which I totally disagree with. For one, it's not sheer. I also don't think it's pink, it seems more purple toned to me. Anyway..

it actually looks a deeper colour on my lips in real life.

Sorry about the creepy smile haha. The lipstick is £1.50 here and it smells like blackcurrant, nom. It also feels very moisturising, quite like a lipbalm. My packaging is really nice and chic, completely different to the one on the website for some reason.

Overall, very impressed with this lipstick! Definitely going to try out some more (she says as if she hasn't already placed another e.l.f order..). I'm also impressed with e.l.f, they delivered it really quickly. My second order hasn't came yet but I ordered on the weekend and it's been bank holiday so that's to be expected really :).

Anyone indulge in the e.l.f sale?

What's your favourite e.l.f product?

P.S, am I the only one messed up from bank holiday? I get so confused what day it is!

hello!

I bucked my ideas up yesterday and stopped moping around feeling sorry for myself hah. My boyfriend came over, I got dressed (properly, instead of staying in pyjamas/comfies like I normally do when he comes down) and generally made myself feel better about myself.

top: primark, new.

shorts: asos, v. old.

lipstick :e.l.f - gypsy

(yes I do have a poster of Audrey Hepburn)

What do you make of this top? I was a bit unsure whether to get it but then I did the usual thing one does when in primark - "it's only primark, may as well" haha. I think it was £7. It came in another colour too, which I think was navy (don't quote me on that though) but I have enough blue clothes so thought I'd go for this shade!

Anyone end up watching the x-factor? I forced my boyfriend to watch it *evil laugh* & he repaid me by telling me he plans to fatten me up & give me spots ready for when I go to uni to "ruin [me] for all other men" hahah. He was joking, I think. Anyway, I digress. What did you think of Janet Devlin? I thought she was alright, but I hated the way everyone was like "oh em gee she's amazing" - she was basically Ellie Goulding, yes?

The lipstick I have on in the picture is e.l.f - gypsy, which I seem to have worn constantly since I got it! Must remember to review it!

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

e.l.f lip balm

Hello! I didn't think I'd be posting today as I expected to be devastated by my results hah; but I got the grades I needed for uni! I'm a bit miffed as I know I could've & should've done better, but I got into uni so that's all that matters :) Hope everyone else got what they wanted/needed!

Anyway, the other day I ordered e.l.f conditioning lip balm spf 15 in Peaceful Pink. I ordered on Saturday and it turned up on Wednesday, rather quick yes?

I have a love/hate relationship with the packaging. It does look quite chic, but it's a bit chunky to be carrying around all the time. It's also at a bit of an awkward angle to get the lip balm onto your finger.

And this is how it looks on:

Overall, I'm really pleased with it! It's a lovely colour and works really well; it also has a weirdly nice smell! It's not too strong on the lips but you can smell it in the pot. It costs £3.50 from here.

What do you think of e.l.f? Any recommendations on what products I should try next?

Hope everyone's having a lovely day!
