I love a lot of ELF products but this little palette is not one of them/ I have it in the shade sunset, warm shimmer tones.
The colours are pretty and the packaging is decent, aside from the super cheap dual sponge tip applicator.
The colours are decently pigmented but that's about all they have going for them. They are very powdery have major fall out. And they fade like crazy rather quickly. I tried using them wet, with different primers, packing them one, nothing seems to make them last more than a couple hours. And blending is impossible. They are up muddy up together.
This palette is a hard pass for me.

I've tried in a few shades and the light shade is the best for fair skin. It has excellent coverage. I'm pretty sure it could cover tattoos. IT certainly takes care of under eye circles. It can be on the heavy side and a bit drying so I save this fr special occasions. If you have oily skin, you could probably use this everyday. -

I received a set of caryl baker brushes several years ago as a gift and they have served me well. The set was pretty basic; a powder, contour, and blush brush along with three eye shadow brushes (a shader, a flat applicator and a liner), a spoolie and a long handle sponge tip applicator (which was the sole loser in the bunch).
At the time I was a beginner to makeup and found the set and quality of brushes to be perfect. The handles are well made and sturdy. The bristle. don't shed even after 7+ years of regular washing. The brushes are natural hair, so I can't use them with cream products, but that's fine.
The set was everything I needed as a beginner, they are easy to maintain and still useful even now that my brush collection had grown significantly.

I have this in the shade fairyfloss. It is a nice semi-sheer pink with a pearly shimmer. The formula is pretty good. It is comfortable, not over sticky and lasts for at least 2 hours. It has a fresh strawberry scent but it's very nice and doesn't linger long. It has a regular doe foot applicator and the tube has a super convenient little mirror on the side. If it weren't so difficult to find, I'd have a lot more shades. -
Clean & Clear Deep Cleaning Astringent Oil-free

This product is too harsh to use as an all over toner product especially if you have dry to normal skin. But when used just in problem spots, I find it really helpful. I use it in my t-zone during that time of the month when my skin gets congested and it helps keep any little breakouts from becoming big breakouts. If I over use though, it makes my skin super dry and flaky, so be careful. -

I have this in shade 994 punch. Itis a beautiful dark to light pink ombre. IT has a lot of shimmer to it so it works better as either a highlight or a blusher topper. Used either way it looks beautiful on the skin. It is possible to customize the colour be focusing your brush on one side of the pan or the other, so that's pretty awesome.
The first layer is really hard and needs to be scraped off with a spoolie to make the product work at its best, but it's so cheap I didn't mind wasting a little bit of product to make it easier to pick up.

The pigmentation and lasting power on these are stellar, but the formula is so drying I can't wear it for more than an hour. Some of the shades crumble a lot after about 90 minutes. It isn't terrible in the lighter shades, but in the dark shades is very obvious and not pretty. -

I really like the formula of these. I have a few different shades and I find them all to be well pigmented and comfortable. They don't dry down like most liquid lip sticks, but they are matte. Because they don't dry down, they don't dry out my lips so I can wear these all day.
On the flip side, because they don't dry they do transfer though they do stay put on my face. I haven't noticed any migrating outside the lip line even with the darker shades.

The gloss is pretty comfortable, though it is pretty thick. Its got a lot of pigment and it lasts a pretty decent amount of time, 2-3 hours before I need to reapply. It has a tendency to migrate if I try and build up the coverage with more gloss, so it's best to keep it to one thin layer.
It is scented with a light vanilla. It doesn't bother me, but it may bother people who prefer unscented product because it can linger a bit.
