HELLO GUYS!
Firstly, if you read my post yesterday, I promised that I would write a review later in the day but my internet broke so I couldn't write anything. I will upload a review either today or tomorrow:)
Anyway! It's Fridayyyyy! I'm back with another Friday Favourites!
I wasn't sure what I was going to do for this week's Friday favourites but then I decided to do make-up setters and powders:)
I have 5 products to include in this post. Four setting powders and the fifth is a setting spray:)
Four out of the five of these products are by e.l.f. Cosmetics and one is by 17.
This is the 17 Pressed Powder - Neutral.
I have been using this product a lot recently and it is really good!
For a cheap, drugstore product this is amazing quality.
You get a very nice and natural finish with this powder and when swatched it is very smooth.
It has a very sheer but natural shade to it and offers a tiny bit of coverage aswell as lasting for a full day.
This also comes with a sponge and there is a mirror in the compact.
This retails for £3.99 for 10g from Boots stores and is available in 3 shades. You can also purchase a shine control version of this powder.
Next are the e.l.f. products:)
This is the e.l.f. Studio High Definition Powder. This was one of the first products I ordered from e.l.f. I ordered this product in January this year.
This has quite a bulky packaging but looks quite posh. As this is quite big, it wouldn't be the best product to take with you for touch-ups.
This comes with a powder puff which I sometimes use and then blend it in with a stipple brush.
This also has a sifter for you to get the product but not a massive amount of it. It is a fine white powder but when transfered and blended into the face it is translucent.
This isn't as natural as the 17 powder and doesn't give any coverage but does give a very nice look:)
This retails for £6 for 8g and is now also available in shimmer and corrective yellow.
This is the e.l.f. Studio Complexion Perfection. This is a powder designed to even out your skintone using for different shades; pink, yellow, blue and green. However, when blended together, they create a white and translucent powder.
The shades are very sheer when swatched, especially the pink so I wrote which colours they are on the swatches:) |
I use the yellow and pink to set concealer when I don't use my e.l.f. eye brightener.
This is a great product and really does work to even-out your skintone and set your make-up but if you have an area you want to even-out, you might find it best to use the colours separately.
I think this is a really great product but you may have to touch up during the day.
The size of the compact is great for travelling and comes with a very reasonable sized mirror.
This retails for £3.75 for 13.5g.
This is the e.l.f. Mineral Booster - Sheer. This is a very raved about product from e.l.f. especially from their mineral line.
I use this with my e.l.f. kabuki brush and lighting blend it over the face which gives a very natural look.
When swatched, this has a slight tint but looks very sheer when blended into the skin.
This sets make-up really well and looks really nice. You only need a light amound to cover the skin but again it might be a little big to take with you for touch-ups during the day.
This also has a sifter but it doesn't have a puff. When moving this product around, some of the powder does collect in the lid but you can still use that powder to set your make-up:)
This retails for £7.00 for 17.8g which is great value but you can buy a small pot for £5 which contains 5.1g.
Finally is the setting spray!
This is the e.l.f. Studio Makeup Mist & Set. This is an overall make-up setting spray.
You can use this just to set your face make-up or all of your make-up.
I personally use this after I have applied my face and eye products but before I applied my lip products:)
This really does make-up a difference to the length of time that my make-up stays on.
I used this a few days ago when it was about 30 degrees and where my make-up usually disappears during the day, it stayed the same as when I originally applied it!
This retails for £3.75 for 59g which is amazing value and also an amazing product!
Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed this week's Friday favourites:)

DeleteI love all of the ELF setting products! Although I do have yet to try the setting spray - one of the next things on my wishlist! I was wondering how it extended the life of my makeup, which is something I'll need with school coming up soon.
ReplyDeleteI found you on the BBU Blog Hop and completely fell in love with your blog!
