e.l.f Cosmetics - Back in the UK

Unless you happen to be living under a rock, you might have see that e.l.f Cosmetics are back in the UK. Established back in 2004, e.l.f which stands for Eyes, Lips and Face, is one of the fastest growing cosmetic companies in the US and having been in the UK before, it disappeared from the shelves almost never to be seen again. Now, Superdrug have taken them under their wing and e.l.f is available online now right here and will be rolled out into stores from June 1st.
e.l.f Cosmetics - Back in the UK

There is an amazing range of products to find from e.l.f who have not only grown since I was last able to use them but the prices have stayed very similar to what I was used to paying and this is all due to the ethos behind the brand which wants to male luxurious beauty accessible for all women to play beautifully and with over 30 million fans worldwide, it is no surprise that they want to make it within the UK Market. So with prices such as £3 for the Instant Lift brow Pencil (here), Eye-shadow palettes starting at just £7.50 (here) and one item that I do really want to try - the Primer Spray which is described as being a weightless makeup primer spray enriched with Purified Water that is free of silicone and alcohol to help prime, refresh, and set makeup in (here) there is just so much to explore and try.


There will be a total of 124 products to choose from and it includes everything for your face, eyes, lips and brows to brushes and there is literally everything I can think of from Primers, Contour palettes, Concealers, Colour Correctors, Lipsticks, HD Powders, Lip liners, Mascara, Eyeliner gel, Lip Tint, Lip Primers, Bronzers, Blushers and just so much more such as the hugely talked about Precision Multi Blender Massager which is a unique, multi-directional brush that sweeps over facial contours to sculpt, shape and blend in foundation, powder or bronzer flawlessly. It has a custom designed triangular handle which provides ultimate control and the luxuriously soft, cruelty-free white fiber hairs show exact placement of makeup on the brush for optimal amount of product use for precise and even application. Again, this is another product that I really want to try.

In the meantime, I have kindly been given some products to try and I am very much looking forward to have some e.l.f back in my stash.

Inside you will find the Being In Spa Sanctuary Wash Bag which stands right out and it is exclusive to this edit.

MUA Luxe Ombre 3 Shade Shimmer Highlighting Stick - This melt-into-skin stick comprising three different shades of subtle gleam which works on any skin tone, and will give you killer cheekbones in seconds. 



Collection Speedy Blush Stick - One thing I love in the Summer are products on 'sticks' or anything crayon like so this ticks all the boxes. Designed for working on the go you only need a dab of one of these suit-all shades, patted in with fingertips to will flatter any suntan. Shades may vary in boxes.

Wet Brush Detangler - If you haven't had or used a Wet Brush before, then you definitely need one in your collection. Designed to be used on even the tangliest of hair it will leave you with a smooth mane in seconds.

Ladvidal DNA Repair After Sun - A brand I am seeing everywhere right now and quite a sensible choice of product for a holiday. This After Sun comes in super handy for the sun worshippers.

Palmers Coconut Oil Formula Butter Lip Balm - Possibly not the first item people think about when it comes to sun care for the skin, but your lips do also need sun protection and this Lip Balm not only smells of a holiday but protects the lips too with its SPF15.

Nails Inc Nail Polish - There will be one of two shades in your box, either Notting Hill Gate or Abbey Road but both are very summery shades and both perfect for the Summer.

Garnier SkinActive Moisture Bomb Multi-protecting hydrating mist - For me, a facial mist is a must have item all year old, more so in the hot weather and this one happens to also have an SPF30 which is really impressive and it can be used all over the body too.

San Tropez Self Tan Express Bronzing Sheet Mask - New to the market and something for those of you who live your fake tan but are never too sure what to do about your face, well San Tropez have come up with a sheet mask that leaves your skin not only hydrated but beautifully sun-kissed.

Eyeko Sport Waterproof Mascara - This fab mini mascara is perfect for those makeup bags for on the go and being waterproof it doesn't budge too easily. 

Merci Handy Lollipop Hand Cleansing Gel - I am a huge fan of these little bottles of hand cleansing gels and always have one on my desk, in my handbag and definitely something I would be taking with on holiday.

Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water - A handy 125ml travel size version of Garnier's bestselling Micellar Water is perfect for popping in your suitcase to take on your travels.

So there you have it, a fantastic little edit which includes some amazing products and it is now really making me want to go on holiday and it costs just £20 here!  What do you think?
