Product Swatch: ELF Beauty Manual Face Edition

I got this as a gift last Christmas and this ELF Beauty Manual was given to me by a classmate because she knew I love makeup. (Thanks, Kim!) Good thing, I didn't give in to the temptation of buying something like this because, even though it is affordable to many, it may not be that budget friendly for a student like me. Naubos na ang baon sa kakapaphotocopy ng mga cases. :P Money Saved! :P

I like the idea of a makeup notebook. It's very handy and at the same time it conserves space in 
your bag. No one would really recognize this as a makeup "kit". Kudos to ELF!

Makeup Guide for Beginners

I'm really glad my classmate bought this for me. I love illuminating creams. My favorite ELF all over stick in Golden Peach has been discontinued and these creams can be great substitute. 

Above: 4 Shimmery Creams, Bottom: 4 Cream Concealers

The concealers are creamy and I like the fact that there are different shades included in this manual. You can mix the colors to match your skin. 

Left: Blush, Right: Bronzer

I think the blush and bronzer are just right for my warm skin tone. I can't wait to try them out. 

Direct Sunlight, Not blended

With Flash, Not blended

Concealer Creams

Blush and Bronzer

I will try to make a product review soon. I haven't really used this manual so I can't say so much about it yet. It looks promising though. :P If you have tried this product, feel free to share your experience.

Have a great day!

Review: E.L.F Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder

ELF Healthy Glow Bronzing Powders: 2401 Sun Kissed and 2403 Luminance

"Brightens skin with a healthy glow"

Directions: 

Using an e.l.f Professional Blush Brush, lightly brush over powder, tapping off any excess. Apply to cheeks and across bridge of nose and forehead. Blend with Total Face Brush to insure seamless application. 

Tips: Best when used along with Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15 and Superglossy Lip Shine SPF 15 for maximum sun protection.

I SUPER LOVE THESE PRODUCTS. I haven't tried Sun kissed but I know it will work well as Luminance. I love how it highlights my face and this definitely gives me a healthy glow- day time or night time. If I were to choose just one, I'd pick Luminance. Sun kissed has a darker tone so it'll probably work as a blush bronzer. Luminance on the other hand is like a face highlighter. I love how it emphasizes my eyes as well. 

From Left to Right: Sun kissed, Luminance

Price: Php 129.75. 

Worth it?

Beyond Worth it!!!

For a price that is quite cheaper than products available in the market, this delivers what it promises. I'd definitely repurchase this product. ^__^

Here are my looks wearing Luminance Healthy Glowing Bronzer:

Thanks for reading my short Review! 

Anyway, I just wanna share that I bought a new mascara from my officemate. :)

Maybelline Cat Eyes Mascara.

I'm loving this product too. :) 

Have a great day, ladies!
