REVIEW: ELF Beauty Encylopedia Face Edition
5:10:00 PM
While I was checking the ELF website, I found out that the Beauty Encyclopedia line is no longer available. But I saw that this has been renamed to ELF Essential Beauty School Beauty Book - Face Manual. So everything that's inside the Face Manual is pretty much the same as the Beauty Encyclopedia Face Edition.

What I like about it...
* inexpensive, you get all these for only five bucks, it's such a steal!
* nice packaging, I love that it's very light and easy to store
* the face shimmers, are perfect as highlighters. They're really great especially if I apply them in the cheek bone area before I put on my powder blush. It really gives nice glow.
* the shades of the concealers are perfect.
* the blusher and bronzer are pigmented.
What I don't like...
* I find the concealers too sheer and it only has medium coverage.
* the golden glitters of the pink blusher are not finely milled.
* I have to be careful in dipping my brush on the blush and bronzer as they tend to get powdery.
My rating: 3 / 5

I really do love the face shimmers or highlighters that came with this palette. Would I recommend this? I'd say yes, because I think this would be perfect for makeup newbies. Although, it's not that amazing, I think it's a good palette to have around.
This is it for now.
Cheerios!

Thats the one you got from Diane right? I don't think I can make a decent product review for makeup. lol. i'm still in the learning process. I love mine (the beauty encyclopedia ~ EYE)! I bring it with me all the time and I got a friend hooked on it as well. I haven't seen it any elf counters though..
ReplyDelete@Kai Sensei, yes, this is the one I got from Diane. It's available online at ebay.ph. don't worry sis, you'll find your own way to do your reviews. hehe
ReplyDeleteThe face shimmers look so pretty~ I dont think I would buy this though. I have had negative experiences with the ELF Beauty Encyclopedias :/
ReplyDeleteNice! I want to try the one for the eyes ;)
ReplyDeletethis is a must-have for newbie makeup enthusiasts! it's great that it comes with instructions na rin ;)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty :) I love these highlighters!
ReplyDeletegreat review sis! shall buy one when i see a stock because i think the highlighters seem gorgeous! :)
ReplyDeletelooks nice, I might have to try it just because of those face shimmers!
ReplyDeletethe highlighters are fab!
ReplyDeletei adore highlighters!
i haven't tried any elf face base yet because i'm thinking that since it's cheap it would be loaded with parabens & silicones...
i'll start with their mineral or studio line then i'll go on from there.
this is such a good deal because it pretty much comes with everything! i love the colors in it
