Good evening :)

Since I live in Cardiff due to uni, it's hard not to pass through St David's shopping center and not pop into a clothing or cosmetic shop. However, I recently found myself walking back from the train station after a lovely weekend at home and noticed the new ELF shop in the Royal Arcade. I refrained from going in until I gave in today!

I have previously browsed ELF's website and was shocked at the low prices for the makeup and brushes, so I made my way down the newly opened shop. When i visited, I had a little browse around at the different products they supplied. The one thing I found really helpful within the shop was the price list that was stood up on every shelf, which listed each product and their prices. I also found the staff incredibly friendly which is always nice when shopping.

In the end, I picked up, an angled blush brush for £3.75 and the Contouring Blush and Bronzing powder in the shade ST. Lucia also priced at £3.75. I didn't swatch the shades in the shop, so I took a guess on the darkness of the bronzing powder especially. So far I have only used the blush, which i found a really nice change to my usual sleek 'rose gold' blush, which has a lot of shimmer to it. 

I also think the packaging is marketed very well as it reminds me a lot of 'NARS' packaging, which is a bit more high end than ELF. I am happily surprised at the quality of the products with such low prices.

Welcome!

I never know how to introduce myself in the first blog post but I'll go for it.

I'm currently a 3rd year undergraduate student at Cardiff University studying Geography. I've been um'ing and ar'ing over whether to create a blog for months now and thought I would just go for it. This blog will hopefully be full of my own thoughts about, well, anything, mainly beauty, products, clothes, all things girly. Even though I am studying the less than girly subject of geography, I spend hours reading beauty and fashion blogs, looking at the variety of makeup out there from high end to drugstore makeup and everything in-between and therefore thought i'd attempt to create my own blog about my thoughts on all things girly. I am no expert on makeup by far, so everything i write are just my own opinions. 

I want to try my best to write entries frequently, but between the ridiculous amount of work I will be given this year and trying to complete my ongoing dissertation, I cant promise anything haha

Love, Emma x
