Where are all my old school beauty addicts and beauty bloggers at?
Do you recall when twitter used to go into sheer melt down every couple of months due to an E.L.F 50% off discount code and when we all had a border line obsession with E.L.F bronzers and blushes? Those were the days, weren't they? Seemingly over the years E.L.F is a brand some of us have all but forgot the exists; this could be due to the UK hiatus E.L.F had not so long ago but the good news is that not only is E.L.F easy to get thanks to a Superdrug expansion but there are so many new and exciting product additions that you really need to try at least once. As E.L.F skincare is often overlooked, I thought it was only fair that I shared five must try items.
E.L.F Hydrating Gel Melting Cleanser £12.50/40g
Why are gel or balm cleansers so pricey? If like myself you enjoy such texture of cleanser but not so much the hefty price tag, then you may want to try out the E.L.F Hydrating Gel Melting Cleanser. Like many of its kind, the soft balm like gel quickly and effectively removes make-up, sunscreen, and of course dirt/general grime with ease, all without stripping the skin of moisture (and it is gentle enough to use on and around the eye area). As it is infused with Argan oil, rose extracts, seed oils, and vitamin C it gently nourishes and softens the complexion with each use. If that isn't enough to convince you to add a pot to your bathroom shelf, E.L.F Hydrating Gel Melting Cleanser is both vegan and cruelty free, as well as being free from Parabens, Sulfates, and Phthalates.

E.L.F Water Droplet Balm £12.50/50g
If the balmy weather has you wincing at the thought of applying a heavy moisturiser and yet you know your skin can't survive without a layer of moisture, or maybe you simply enjoy trying new and innovative products, if so the E.L.F Water Droplet Balm is for you. This solid, vitamin e enriched balm, quickly transforms into a cooling, water-like liquid, that quickly hydrates and plumps the skin - the effects are instant, making it perfect for travel or for applying after a long day in the sun and as it is a balm, it is so easy to transport and decant into smaller tubs should you so wish. Much like any balm product this is multi-purpose and can be used on the hands, elbows, cuticles and anywhere else that you have dry skin. Find it here - link.
E.L.F Beauty Shield Daily Defense Makeup Mist £9/80ml
If all your setting spray does is prolongs your make-up and offers you no other additional benefits then it is time to reconsider what you are using. For city slickers or those just general concerned about pollution and environmental aggressors, the E.L.F Beauty Shield Daily Defense Makeup Mist is what you have been waiting for. Not only is this an utterly refreshing facial mist that can be used to set make-up, perk up the complexion, as well as cooling, refreshing and calming the skin - all with skin protecting ingredients that protect against skin damaging qualities such as pollution, smoke and general grime. You need this. Get your bottle here - link.
E.L.F Beauty Shield SPF50 Skin Shielding Primer £14.50/30ml
It's primes, it protects the skin against environmental aggressors, it optically blurs skin imperfections, it offers a gentle tint and an SPF50 - do I really need to convince you that you need a tube of E.L.F Beauty Shield SPF50 Skin Shielding Primer. I don't actually use this as a primer but rather a tinted sunscreen with added skin saving benefits for days in which I'd much rather have next to no make-up on. The light but non-greasy texture is not only a joy to apply and wear but may just help to sway those who are SPF sky to finally cave and make a product of this nature a daily occurrence.

E.L.F Beauty Shield Vitamin C Pollution Prevention Serum £19/28ml
As someone who lives and works in two major cities, my skin is very much prone to dullness and as such I do have quite the affinity towards products that are heavy in Vitamin C - especially oils and serums. If you are looking for a lightweight, effective and cost efficient Vitamin C product that you can use both day and night, then may I recommend E.L.F Beauty Shield Vitamin C Pollution Prevention Serum.This silken, light serum is formulated with key antioxidants, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Pomegranate Extract, to help refine, brighten skin tone, and protect against the effects of everyday environmental aggressors. To make it work a little overtime, mix a few drops into your foundation or base product and enjoy the extra barrier and glow it creates! You can find it here - link.
