Nars casino VS elf turks & Caicos

I'm comparing the bronzers nars casino and the bronzer from elf turks & Caicos 

The compacts are the same size and both have a huge mirror in the lid. both compacts have 8g of product but elf turks & Caicos has a blush and bronzer so the bronzer is only 4g but nars casino is the full 8g

Nars casino price £27 from selfridges

Elf turks & Caicos £3.95 from eyeslipsface.co.uk

Without flash: nars casino left, elf turks & Caicos bronzer right.

They are really similar but casino has a gold shine running through it that you can see with the light.

I love both bronzers and I think the elf one is amazing for under £4 

Enrapture heated rollers

Enrapture extremity heated rollers

£59.99 from boots

They sell it other places aswel just type in 'enrapture extremity rollers' in google

This set of heated rollers includes 20 rollers, 10 small and 10 large and 20 clips that also heat up with the rollers.

 They take 2 mins to heat up and they heat up from the core so it releases the heat slowly into your hair.

I usually put these in my hair then do my makeup, then once I'm done it's time to take them out and it makes getting ready a lot quicker.

 

I rushed putting the rollers in my hair so it looks messy but this is literally how I would do it on a daily basis when i use them and it only takes me about 5 minutes to put them all in my hair. I pick a size at random really I don't just stick to big at the top and small at bottom I like having small ones at the front and big ones on top of my head and at the back but just put them anywhere really.

I only left the rollers in my hair for about 15 minutes because I'm inpatient and they felt like they had cooled down enough.

I love how easy it is, spend only 5 minutes putting them in, you can do other things wile your waiting for them to cool, then take them out and it looks like you spent ages curling your hair :)

Without flash

There's a matte bronzer an highlighter and a bronzer with a bit of shimmer so it's perfect for everyone I personally like both matte and shimmer bronzers so I'm happy with the whole compact.

The Marvelous moxie lipgloss in 'party starter' that comes with it is a gorgeous coral colour perfect for summer and will look great with the bronzer and smells delicious and minty.

 This whole set reminds me of a summer holiday and love the bronzy-gold packaging.

  The Light Stroke Fan Brush with custom colour handle

I tried using it with the bronzer but it doesn't pick up enough product for me so I tried using it with a highlight and I love it for that so it is now my highlighter brush, and it's my favourite brush for highlight.

I was exited to see peaches and clean deep purifying cleanser in this set because iv heard so many good things about it but it never see it in my local boots, I haven't tried it yet but it smells amazing.

 A product I wouldn't have purchased before trying it in this set is heel genius amazing foot cream, I never buy foot cream but last night after walking around most of the day my feet felt a bit dry and my heels were hurting a bit so I thought perfect opportunity to try heel genius and it made them feel more moisturised straight away and in the morning felt completely better so although it wasn't a product I was excited for, it will be useful  for when my feet feel a bit dry

MAC vs E.L.F eyeshadow palette

Elf elements eyeshaddow palette £1.50

Mac eyeshadow palette £6.50

Elf elements Eyeshadows £1.50 each

Mac Pro palette refill pan £10 each or mac single Eyeshadows are £12.50 each but then you will have to depot them wich is quiet easy if you watch videos how to do it, I depotted 3 of my mac Eyeshadows and some blushes and haven't damaged any yet and hopefully never will.

Elf palette on left, mac palette on right

Here's what the palettes look like empty, both palettes fit both mac or elf Eyeshadows so you can swap and put the elf Eyeshadows in the mac palette or mac Eyeshadows in elf palette 

Here the mac Eyeshadows are in the elf palette and elf Eyeshadows are in the mac palette

Here the elf Eyeshadows are in the mac palette if you use the Eyeshadows a wile the eye stamp will fade away leaving plain eyeshadows that look like the mac Eyeshadows.

Without flash. Top left to right: E.l.f. Ivory, driftwood, wheat, aubergine

Bottom left to right: Mac. nylon, sable, woodwinked, crandberry.

Top left to right: E.l.f. Ivory, driftwood, wheat, aubergine

Bottom left to right: Mac. nylon, sable, woodwinked, crandberry.

As you can see elf ivory and mac nylon are quiet similar and are nice highlight colours, and elf wheat is very similar to Mac woodwinked

Elf says: Luxuriously smooth and silky mineral formula provides eyes with a neutral base and an awakened brightness for a long-lasting wear. Choose your favorite colours that best compliment your unique and beautiful look. 1.5g

Mac says: Highly pigmented powder. Applies evenly, blends well. Create a customized palette of shades. Fits into Pro Palette case for easy storage and transport. Please note - Eye Shadows weight vary slightly based on the density of the product. 1.5g

I love how the elf palette had a big mirror and the quality if the palette feels amazing for £1.50 so I sometimes use that palette because the mac palette doesn't have a mirror and I also love that you can fill a palette for only £7.50 including the palette from elf but to fill a mac palette including the palette costs £46.50 so there is a big difference but I also love the look of the mac palette because it has a clear lid so you can see the colours when the palette is closed and I love mac Eyeshadows because there is so many to choose from and I do prefer mac Eyeshadows but E.l.f is a nice cheaper alternative.
