I purchased this palette so that when I travel, I won't have to bring so many separate cosmetics. I never went wrong! All the contents are very, very useful for me. Not only that. The black case is very sleek and it fits a small bag or purse. 

The eye shadows include a wide-array of colors that are matte, highly pigmented and versatile. They can be used for smokey eyes, bold/striking, and everyday make up. They can also be used as substitutes for eyeliner pencils.

I tried using the white or off-white shade on the upper left corner of the eye shadow palette for the brow bone but it turned pinkish. The face shimmer can be used instead.

The face shimmer is in cream form but it serves its purpose very well. It's not greasy nor sticky.

I like the bronzer even though it's quite orange. It fits darker women but for us who have fair skin, just a little amount will do. I also use it for contouring my nose and cheeks but I discovered that the brow powder is much better for this purpose.

My most favorite is the brow cream. The color is just right for my hair color. 

The blushes are also nice! The colors fit me. I use the lighter shade when my lips or eyes are bold in color and the brighter one when I want to give emphasis on my cheeks.

I also like all the colors of lip gloss. I use each as is or combine a two or more to make new shades depending on my mood. They also last longer and give moisture to my lips. 

What I don't like about the packaging is that the powder goes to the lip gloss. It's a little messy but it is tolerable and manageable. I also wish that it has a separate brush for the blushes and bronzer.

To sum it all, I love it!  They are highly pigmented, long-lasting, and versatile! The pros outweigh the cons.For aspiring or amateur make-up artists, this is a best buy!  :)


All E.L.F. colors that I used here are found in the E.L.F. Make-up Clutch except the eyeliner. A black eye shadow may be used as a substitute for the liner.

On the photo above is my best friend, Heidi, during her daughter's birthday party. I used two shades of brown eye shadows on her eyelids, black eye shadow as substitute for the eyeliner pencil, brow cream, brow powder for contouring the nose and cheeks, bronzer for the cheeks, face shimmer as highlighter, and red lip gloss combined with red Avon lipstick to make the lips standout! I also used E.L.F. concealer as an eye primer. I used different brands of foundation and powder.

  1. I saw this make-up clutch at Watsons SM City Manila. It's P800 + but worth your money. Pag-iipunan ko ito. I think it's sulit talaga.
