I got my first Elf fix ;)

Forgive this short and unnecessary post,
my excitement from opening the Elf carton box can't be described and I wanted to share it with you!

So, my Elf order is here, yayyy!!!
It was my first-ever online purchase and I gotta say,
it can be addicting...

Paying by debit card, forgeting about it and then getting the box delivered days later, it almost feels like you're getting a present by a secret admirer!

This is what I got:

All over colour stick in Pink lemonade
Brightening eye colour in Brownstone
Hypershine gloss in Bubblegum
Blush and bronzer duo
Cream eyeliner in Coffee
Mineral lipstick in Runway pink
Studio powder brush



A little talk about delivery and customer services:

After I made my order, it took 9 w.days for it to arrive. Considering the Sign-for delivery service, which I opted for, supposedly takes only 3-5 w.days, it was a significant delay.

That said, the customer services were brilliant; I got 3 replies in total, the guy who wrote them was very helpful and kind so, despite the delay, I can't fault them...

Oh, and another thing:
I thought the Sign-for service meant that the postman would deliver himself the goodies to my doorstep, hence the increase in delivery costs. Instead, I got a notification to pick up the package from the Post office... Oh well, I've still got a lot to learn about online shopping :(

I'll do a proper review of the products after I've played with them for a good amount of time...

Do you own any of the above?
What was your experience from shopping at Elf's website?

  1. Hello!!!
    I had the Mineral lipstick in Runway pink at my last order from E.L.F. as well!!! It is great!!! But if you have dry lips put some balm on first!;)

  3. woohoo! Εγώ διαλέγω την πιο φθηνή επιλογή και μου έρχεται ειδοποίηση να πάω να το πάρω. Ίσως να ήρθε και να μην ήσουν σπίτι γι'αυτο να άφησε ειδοποίηση.
    Enjoy your goodies, I'm sure you'll love them all!!

  6. @nataliedouka, α ωραία!! Απλό shipping την επόμενη φορά ;)

    @Arietta, αχ τι καλά! Χαίρομαι που τα προτιμάς γιατί αυτό σημαίνει ότι θα είναι τέλεια. Και στο κάτω-κάτω, τι ελάττωμα μπορείς να βρεις όταν είναι τόσο φθηνά; Ναι, δοκίμασα στο χέρι μου το cream eyeliner και δεν "έβγαινε" με σκέτο νερό! Απίστευτο για 4 ευρώ!

    @afro, εννοείται ότι θα γράψω reviews για όλα τα προϊόντα!

  9. @Stavroula drugstoreandbargainlover, μην ανησυχείς κοριτσάκι, θα το κάνω μόλις κατασταλάξω στο αν μου αρέσει τελικά ή όχι. Χα χα, οι Έλληνες ταχυδρόμοι είναι ό,τι να'ναι...

    @Cel, α ώστε έτσι, δεν εκπλήσσομαι που καθυστερεί στην Ελλάδα κι όχι εξαιτίας του Royal Mail... Την επόμενη φορά θα ξέρω τι να κάνω. Σ'ευχαριστώ πολύ για τις πληροφορίες!!!
