An e.l.f. Haul

Studio Cream Blush in Tease, Vixen and Seductress

I love e.l.f.'s make-up. They're one of the first cruelty-free brands I bought from and got me into make-up in the first place. Their entire line is vegan, apart from a few brushes made with horse hair. Also their one shop in the U.K. is in Cardiff, close to where I live, which meant I could always pop by and test things out whenever I wanted.

So I was very sad when the U.K. site announced last week that they're closing down! The U.K. distributors are moving on and for the moment it doesn't look like anyone else is taking on e.l.f. here so we may be without it for some time. Maybe forever! Obviously, I had to grab everything I'd been wanting in their closing down sale. I'd also gone on a big spree the week before when they held a 50% off sale, so this is two hauls combined.

Edit September 2015: e.l.f. have returned to the U.K.! I've linked to everything that's available on the new site, and hopefully the other products will be added soon.

Essential Flawless Eyeshadow in Party Purple and Golden Goddess

Baked Eyeshadow Palette in Seattle, Eye Enhancing Eyeshadow in Brown Eye 2

Studio 11 Piece Brush Collection (all taklon)

Here's the entire haul - I got multiples of some of my favourites in case I don't get the chance to get them again. This lot should last me a while! If you've not tried e.l.f. before I'd really recommend you grab some bargains now before they're gone, the quality is just excellent for the price. I will really miss this brand and now I wish I'd blogged about them more. I reviewed a few e.l.f. lip colours here, the nail varnish here and here's a guest post from my sister Tessa where she used lots of e.l.f. make-up.

Come back on Thursday when I'll be holding my first ever giveaway - a few e.l.f. goodies!
