These swatches are from ELF's Eye Beauty Books Brights. It's sorta unfair reviewing this after doing my review on NYX Runway Collection last week. I have to start off by saying...I do adore the concept of the beauty book. Really cute. Really original. I've never purchased ELF eye shadows before but I was game after seeing the unique packaging of the shadows. My very first experience with ELF eyeshadows and the quality just wasn't at all what I expected. I won't say they were horrific. They just weren't velvety or silky feeling which is kinda what I'd been used to lately. They did have some great color payoff. It also comes equipped with both satin and matte shadows.

I was very excited about a few of the colors in the palette. They are 2, 3, 4, 7, and 10. I highly highly highly recommend that you use a primer or some sort of base with these shadows because they do stain. That's something else I really hated. But at $5 a dozen, who am I to complain right? I just don't see myself re-purchasing another beauty book anytime soon.
