Brand: E.L.F.Name: Elements Compact
Size: n/a
Price: $1 USD for empty compact ($1 USD for each refill)
Colours Tried:
- Custom Lips in Earth Rose
- Custom Face in Flushed
- Custom Eyes in Periwinkle
- Custom Eyes in Dusk
The E.L.F. Elements Compact is a great little system. It's a simple white compact with a mirror and four magnetic circular areas where you can insert a mix of E.L.F. refills, including eye shadows, lipsticks and blushes. You can purchase a pre-filled compact or buy an empty one and customize it yourself.
The picture on the E.L.F. site is slightly different from the compact that I received - there's a slit in the middle to hold a tiny applicator.
To Purr About:- magnetic system is extremely easy to use and convenient
- lets you customize a whole bunch of different combinations easily and cheaply
- the eyeshadow refills are great! The pigments are rich and last for most of the day
- compact mirror is large and convenient
Claws Out:
- the blush size is small so it's hard to get a lot of powder on a large brush (and there's no blush brush small enough to fit in the compact
- the lipstick brush is so tiny it's hard to get lipstick on quickly
- the colours aren't true to shade when you see them on the internet. For example, Custom Eyes in Dusk looks like a dark coal colour, but when it arrived it's actually a deep purple (it's in the top left corner of the photo of my compact)
Final Comments:
All in all, I really like this system. It's easy to use and since it's customizable it works for everyone. At $1 per refill, it's easy to design more than 1 "set" and carry along several colour palettes.
I'm not crazy about the lipstick or blush refills, but plan to order 2 more eyeshadow refills to create an eyeshadow compact with my current element compact.
