e.l.f ♥ Love or hate?

This morning I was so pleased to received my massive parcel of goodies from e.l.f but after opening the packaging and swatching, i'm not so sure.

I kept seeing e.l.f splashed over Youtube and figured maybe I should start wearing makeup properly again, so why not start with a brand everyone loves? That's when I realised pretty much 98% of makeup on their website it only £1.50 - BARGAIN...Right?

So, £32.00 later, lots of pictures and my first impressions...

Nail Polish

First impressions: I think they'll need a couple of coats as they don't look very pigmented.

L-R: Metal Madness, Nude.

L-R: Gum Pink, Blush.

Matte Finisher - Clear.

L-R: Metal Madness, Nude, Gum Pink & Blush.

Concealer, Eyeliner, Primers & Eyeshadows 

First impressions: The colours look natural/nude, so hopefully i'll like them once they're on.

Tone Correcting Concealer in Ivory

Liquid Eyeshadows in Cream Dream and Sultry Satin. Cream Dream arrived dry and isn't useable :[

Eyelid primers in Pearl, Sheer and Champagne.

L-R clockwise: Ivory concealer, Champagne primer, Sheer primer, Pearl primer and Sultry Satin eyeshadow.

Brightening Eye Colour in Ethereal

As far as i'm aware, each colour doesn't have a name but you get the general idea.

Waterproof Eyeliner Pen in Black

Swatch of the eyeliner, not very pigmented.

 Other bits & pieces

These are mostly tools and random bits :]

First impressions: The quality doesn't seem too bad, but i'll have to really try them before I can comment.

Blending Eye Brush

Balm in Vanilla Creme

Cuticle Pushers x 2

Nail buffer :] looking forward to using this!

Last item, Zit Zapper.. apparently this is good, so bring on the spots!

  

Overall thoughts?

For products that are £1.50 each, they're not that bad but I think I was expecting something different. All I can do now is try them out and see how I get on!

Has anyone else used e.l.f before? If you have, what were your experiences like? Please let me know!
