NYX glitter eyeliners are better than ELF.

I loved the colors until I tried to apply them.. =( They were not very pigmented. I am still experimenting with hopes of them working!

Urban Decay is probably the best, but it's really too pricey for what it is. e.l.f. is a nice substitute. They have a really pretty iridescent glitter liner but it's always sold out. The Copper featured above has stayed on 7 hours now so it should be a good bet, plus it's only a dollar! Definitely better than Wet & Wild (which I have used and disliked as well). Good luck and let me know if it works for you!

Working clockwise
Quad pallet featuring Ivory, Golden Glow, Moondust and Mocha.
First off, the pallet is a genius idea. It’s a great size and the magnets are wonderful for swapping shades. It’s constructed well (sturdy plastic) and I have no complaints with the pallet. I do, however, have complaints about the eyeshadows. The colors were true to the swatches online but they have poor pigment. After applying it looked as if I had nothing on, even after using the primer and applying a few “levels” the pigment was poor. Thankfully each pot was only $1. Maybe I’ll save it for those days at the beach where I do not want to wear a lot of makeup but need some color.
Liquid eyeliners featuring Copper, Coffee, Plum and Pearl.
The Copper was great, it’s pure glitter with a clear base. Works well with summer tones to add that extra sparkle. Wait a minute or two before blinking your eyes otherwise it will smear and spread causing you to have glitter all over. The Coffee was disappointing, it was almost as dark as my standard black eyeliner and I could not tell much of a difference. I was excited to try the Plum since it had such a great shade in the bottle, however, upon application it was runny and did not have a good consistency. The Pearl was a terrible disappointment. I was happy to finally have a decent white eyeliner with a bit of sparkle. Upon attempted application the product was thick and dried out, almost like expired nail polish. Maybe I just got an old bottle. I would only purchased the Copper again.
Super Glossy SPF 15 Lip Gloss in Candlelight.
Caution: Color swatches online are not true to the product that you receive. In saying that I am satisfied with this product. I’ve read reviews of the gloss being too sticky, having a bad taste or smell. I experienced none of these. It was a little sticky, no more that other glosses though. The color was great, actually better than the swatch online and lasts for a few hours. Overall I would buy it again and maybe try another color. The SPF 15 is an added bonus as well! Compares equally in quality to Victoria’s Secret Beautyrush Lip Gloss ($7 vs $1).
Eyeshadow Quad in Drama.
This was a freebie included in my first order from e.l.f. and thank gosh it was free. I experienced the same poor pigment as the other pots. I tend to use eyeshadows with a bit of sparkle to them, but these had too much. They almost had chunks of glitter in them at ended up all over my face and in my eyes. The only bonus to this freebie was the white, it worked well for highlighting my upper brow. Maybe I can save this for Halloween makeup..
Sharpener.
As a lover of NYX cream eyeshadow pencils, this sharper has saved my life. I could not find one large enough to sharpen my NYX pencils until this. The sharpener tends to be on the cheaper side in material and may not last too long, but for $1 and saving my NYX pencils, I cannot complain.
Liquid Eyeliner Pen in Black.
Disappointed. The liquid was too runny and did not cover consistently. It was almost like a water color. The tip is cheap and started to fuzz after a few attempted uses (it was actually a little fuzzed upon opening). The only bonus to this pen was the shape. It was easy to hold and draw with. I would certainly not purchase this again.
Mineral Eyeshadow Primer.
This primer applied easily and blended well with my skin tone. It helped my Physician’s Formula Shimmer Strips (which I use for eyeshadow frequently) stay on a few extra hours and did not cause any creasing. Save yourself the money and purchase this instead of Urban Decay’s primer.

This was my first e.l.f. purchase and I am neither impressed or disappointed, just a mix of the two. I will certainly try purchasing e.l.f. products again, after all they are only a dollar and there are still a lot of products to explore.
