I decided to make another ELF order (e.l.f stands for eyes, lips & face) as I have not found a better sheer setting powder that doesn't leave cakey skin - the mineral booster in Sheer is amazing. I am always amazed by the price of the products and am glad that for once 2 HG products are cheap!
Sometimes people criticise how the products are packaged but I purchased from the mineral and studio ranges and they are perfect to me. The mineral powders are in cases just like the Bare Escentuals ones and the sifter is the perfect size so you don't end up with too much powder flying out.
I also realised that the powder I had been using on and off for a year was the SMALL size! What good value at £3.50. I ordered the large size at £5.00 this time as I won't be repurchasing any other powders so this will my every day powder and I will obviously get through more of it if I am using it more frequently.

As everything is so cheap I also added to my cart a mini size of the shimmer mineral booster to see if it's a nice highlight and another flat top powder brush from the studio range as it is my favourite face brush ever - I prefer it over my Mac brushes for apply the mineral booster, loose powder and blending in highlight as it leaves you looking flawless.
The goods arrived the day after I ordered them and well packaged as usual. I had also forgotten that the mineral booster is chemical, dye and paraben free, dodge those parabens ladies!
How amazing it feels to know that the search for my HG setting powder is over, no need to look for another one. Now I just need to find my HG of something else, I have many 'really likes' but not one overall winner for a lot of categories. The search never ends when you're a beauty junkie!
In other news I have found a gorgeous lip combination for a wearable coral lip.

Hmmmm.... think Ill order myself that Mineral Booster. Like the sound of it. xxx
@Jo = it is amazing but you have to apply it with the elf brush or it doesn't work, if you apply with a fluffy brush the coverage is poo!
Is this powder used as a foundation or as a powder to set foundation?

I like the sound of the mineral booster too. I have a few of those brushes they are amazing. What was the highlighting powder like?
@Glitter and Love - I use it to set my foundation, I think they sell a separate mineral foundation but I haven't tried it x
@Nicolette

I STILL haven't ordered for E.L.F, though I've known of them for years. My one HG product is Playboy 'Peach Bunny' blush, I think it was £8, the perfect pink-peach. I wouldn't have expected such a great product from Playboy!
That lip combo looks beautiful!
I really like all the products I have ordered from ELF so far. The studio powder and complexion brushes are some of my favourites, I am amazed by the quality of products for the price. Will have to check this booster out once I get through my other powders.
I completely agree about the powder brush, it's the best face brush i've ever used! I may have to try the mineral booster now, though i have about 5 powders on the go at the moment :)
i have the mineral booster for ages and it is always one of my favourite ones.

@Becky got everything for under £15 including postage too!
@Zoe oh that's a shame, mine doesn't seem to show up as any colour on the skin at all as it's so sheer so it works when I am pale in the Winter and fake tanned in the summer. The shimmer one does look lighter though but the you might not want a shimmery face, I don't know x
@ Beauty's Bad Habit I didn't even realise they still sold Playboy makeup!
@Meeta thanks I was surprised how well they go together too. I am very much Love or Hate with elf some things are absolutely amazing and others are awful, it's very hit and miss! x
@Lillian Funny Face ooh yes hun use some of them up first! I don't want to be the cause of any unnecessary spending! x
@Kyanvi glad to see that more people know about the mineral booster, I really think it is an amazing product x
I love the mineral booster too.
that lip looks gorgeous. Wonder if its too late in the summer for more coral purchasing?!
I absolutely LOVE elf too. Their customer service is second to none. Next day delivery ♥ . How is the Mineral Booster Shimmer as a highlight?? What is it comparable too? Is it chunky or iridescent/sheeny? Sorry I'm obsessed with highlighters! x
Oh I love the Mineral Booster as well. I'm also trying Bare Minerals - mineral veil and Lily Lolo - translucent silk. But this just works so well with my foundation!

My current HG mascara is the Boots 17 Va Va Volume one - it's the most incredible mascara I've used in yonks! Other than that, it's the ELF powder brush which makes every foundation look amazing hehe.
I have tried the highlighter yet girlies but will do a review when I do, I only got it just over a day ago! x
My HG eyeliner is Urban Decay 24/7 in Stash! I think I'm yet to find my HG product for anything else :(
I should try the powder some time too!! I love the Powder brush but the head on my brush is falling off!! D=
