They're all nicely pigmented and blend beautifully!

Next we have elf's Eye Brightening Quad in Punk Funk! Can't have just neutrals here!!! ($1)

Beautiful Color & Shimmer

So this swatch does not do this color justice it is BEAUTIFUL!

 

 

 

Next, we half elf's Contouring Blush & Bronzer! I have been so excited to buy this because everyone says it's a dupe for NARS Orgasm & Laguna (?) And I LOVE Orgasm.... and I must say I think it's a decent dupe!

I love the NARS like packaging too!

So pretty!!!!!!

Once again, the swatch provides little justice for the beautiful color!

Next, we have elf's lipstick in Classy!

I'm not so hot on this packaging... a little cheap... But it was only a $1!
