Postman Pat delivered a parcel Wednesday containing my ELF order. I ended up purchasing Mint Cream and Mango Madness nail polish and Runway Pink (Mineral) lipstick. Let me quickly remind you (as I mentioned the other day) the mineral line from ELF is free of parabens, chemical dyes and preservatives. The nail polishes are free of toluene, formaldehyde and DBP.
Firstly, I am impressed with the speed of delivery as I ordered on Sunday and it arrived on Wednesday (bearing in mind Monday was a bank holiday). I am not a fan of buying make up online because the swatches can be different to when you have the product in your hand. The lipstick is the classic case of this. I am a little disappointed as it appears pink/brown but seems to be baby pink on my lips. Anyway, the lipstick is creamy and a pleasure to apply. It lasted a few hours before lunch but then again I would not expect it to last all day for the price.
I like the nail polishes although they are not odour free as I might expect considering they lack certain chemicals. I found two coats were needed to get a strong colour otherwise they are streaky and sheer. I love the colour of Mango Madness it really pops but I am not sure about Mint Cream (but maybe I just need tan). I cannot comment on how well they wear as I only ever use polish on my toes and it always last longer on feet than hands. In my opinion for £1.50 each you cannot grumble if you need to re-apply more frequently. Overall I think you get what you pay for if you are someone on a budget these products are great but if you like high end brands you will probably hate them. The choice is yours!
