Elf Bite Size Beauty Palettes Acai You + Rose Water Review
Elf Bitesize Eyeshadow Palettes have been the talk of the beauty industry this summer and how could they not? They are affordable (only £3), they come in 8 shades and they are easy to buy. I initially didn't want to pick these up and I was more interested in the Elf Bitesize Blush Palettes that didn't yet launch in the UK unfortunately, so eventually, I gave in and got these two mini palettes.
I got the shades:
Elf - Bitesize eyeshadow palette - Rose Water - RRP £3
Elf - Bitesize eyeshadow palette -Acai You - RRP £3
Elf - Bitesize eyeshadow palette -Acai You - RRP £3
Elf - Bitesize eyeshadow palette - Rose Water - RRP £3
The Rose Water palette is a cool-toned rose champagne eyeshadow palette with one matte shade, two shimmer shades, and one shade that seems to be somewhere in between.
The first shade is true Champagne shimmer shade that is amazing as inner corner highlight, brow bone highlight, or just all over the lid. It is pigmented and super smooth on the skin, it blends well and gives a lovely dimension to the eyes.
The second shade was the reason I was so drawn to this palette, the shade is somewhere between cool-toned brown and pinkish-mauve that I found super unique and interested. It is the only properly matte shade on this palette and it applies nicely, it is pigmented and for £3, I would have only bought this shade.
The third shade is a warm rose shimmer shade that is neutral enough to be my liking. It is smooth, nicely blendable and adds shine to the lids. While I really like the shade I don't think it is that unique in the end.
The last shade is dark brown that has light golden shimmer on it, but when applied to the eyelid the shade looks matte.
Overall the shade range is gorgeous and you can easily create gorgeous beginner-friendly looks with this, without trying to think too much. The palettes only downfall is that the matte shades are a bit patchy and really hard to blend, it is such a shame as the colour story is so beautiful and the price point so good that I really hoped this would be the next cult eyeshadow product.
For £3, do I think it is worth it? I think for anyone looking to play around with new colours definitely, but if you own a lot of palettes with these shades already you don't really need these in your collection in my opinion.
