Hello ladies!! (:
I was clearing my makeup a few days ago & i came across the ELF makeups which i've been using since i first started makeup. But somehow i stopped using them & it's already been more than 3 years. They're most probably expired, but i wanted to do some swatches before i throw them away. (I know, i'm wasting money! T.T) HUGE post ahead!!!
EYESHADOWS

Purplish eyeshadow quad, good for soft smokey look. The colors are matte and slightly chalky, not very pigmented, need a few swatches to get the colors out (especially white).

Pretty colors! Good for creating soft, romantic look. This quad is less chalky & more shimmery as compared to Silver Lining.

Eyeshadow quad for creating smokey look! The black & whites are matte, silver & charcoal are more shimmery. They are chalky & not very pigmented, need a few swatches.
Pros
- ELF has wide range of colors, good for people who like to experiment with colors.
- Cheap, quality considered good for the price paid.
Cons

Their eyeshadow creams are quite good! Pigmented and easy to apply! The colors are pretty too!

The color doesn't come off easily, it smudges & fades off. I don't like it :(
