i tried out the beauty creations in store and they are SO gorgeous! elf is not readily available in Mexico but i'm honestly fine with that regarding this release 😅
Those earrings are looking so good on you. It feels these eyeshadows are probably for people who don't love much makeup, those feel like K-beauty style, very subtle! I like shine and sparkles ✨✨✨😅
@@sophieisyerin I know. But I live in a country where there's import faxes and fees for products outside the EU. Which means I end up paying 5x the price of the eyeshadow.
I think these are a great addition to the drugstore! UD Decay Space Cowboy and Cosmic are some of the most used makeup in my collection, so I love seeing more accessible versions available, even if they aren't quite as sparkly. ✨✨
I have 4 of them and love them for what they are, but I definitely agree that these are not as similar to the UD Moondust shadows as I thought they would be. They’re very sheer, with tiny, fine sparkle particles. I like them for very light makeup days. My favorite is definitely White Hot! Ian partial to Filthy Rich as well. I’d like to try Straight Fire, but my Target didn’t have it. I haven’t tried It’s Glit either, but idk if I really want to.
I swatched these in store earlier and Straight Fire looked pretty nice, but they look and feel like eyeshadows from 20 years ago. Although, I love the subtle flash of light in the look you are wearing. Will check out Beauty Creations, thank you!
@badtothebrow hey Milly, did you see that BeautyBay released a 9-pan of duochrome shimmers? I bought it because it was €10 and it should arrive tomorrow or day after. I will let you know if it is ass or weird greasy like their last one, but vids I have seen look good.
Hi. Thank You for the detailed video. I've been waiting for a video of these new E.L.F. eyeshadows to come out, so I know which shades I like before I go to the store
Can you do more videos featuring shadows you already have? I love the your favorite one and dones, duping a certain palette or reimagining palettes, etc just stuff featuring shadows that you use consistently. I know we all love the new releases, and I can't speak for everyone of course, but it's just not always relatable when some people can't buy every new release, ya know? Videos on new releases in a sea of other new products can get really overwhelming at times, to me personally obviously it's just an opinion and not everyone feels that way of course. Your "looking into my collection" videos are so refreshing and interesting to me!
They should have put these in palettes and called them a new wet effect formula for their bite size palettes. Trying to hit a double dupe for UD and ND. They would have more leeway there for not 100% duping either.
Not really! blushing lizard feels squishy/wet, has more shine and a reddish brown base. Straight fire is very sheer and dry. I’ll post a swatch in my IG stories today!
Thanks for the review! They all are super sheer except for the filthy rich one. People who don’t wear eyeshadow (a lot) and who doesn’t want to spend a lot of money, this will do fine. But when you have as many eyeshadows, especially from Indie brands, this is very underwhelming.
Yes. Moira or Colourpop (CP) or Beauty Creations (I haven't tried Beauty Creations tho). If u want singles that are duochromes, Moira is much better than CP, but their flips are still not as strong as Juvia's Place's, which only has palettes. Juvia's chromes are also not as strong as an indie brand's. CP Supershocks have that bouncy formula that sticks to the eye better for all day wear (tho I still prefer the guarantee of staying power w an eye primer if I'm not in a rush). CP Supershocks also have different formulas from satins to medium sparkle to glam sparkle, but often label them all "ultra glitter". CP's "Ritz" is known as a close dupe to UD Space Cowboy to start tho.
They remind me of ColourPop, and CP shock shadows definitely apply too sheer, and usually dry out immediately. The first and especially that last shade are the only ones that I plan on trying. The others are way too sheer, but then depends on skin tone.
For aging eyelids, the ELF ones are nice and smooth. Sometimes we don't want the added texture. Just a viewpoint from someone in their mid 40's with very hooded eyes. I will say pop off pink did look not much different than a silver in one of my old Kaleidos palettes. Both had a very similar sparkle on the eye and almost looked like one shadow ✨️
I personally dislike the exxagerated pop of glitter from UD and Moira. I prefer a more subtle finish like e.l.f. shadows. It's still playful and fun, but you can wear it modestly, without people staring at you. At least that's how I wear makeup and most indie brands are too much to wear on a normal day for me.
Meh. Except for White Hot, I think Moira outshined elf. They aren’t awful, but they aren’t impactful enough for us indie lovers. Besides, Moira occasionally has sales too so I think I’ll pass.
The comparisons showed me that Moira ate and gave UD and elf the leftovers lol.
came here to say the same thing. the best bang for your buck for sure
Moira will be my next purchase
Screw UD
I’m kinda loving the olive undertone of Filthy Rich. I love a bronze shadow. I can add it to the other 412 bronze eyeshadows I own. 😊
Love love love these detailed sparkle videos!!! ❤ so so so helpful to compare these all
I bought three- White Hot, Filthy Rich and Champagne Showers and I really love them all! I think they’re great for the price.
These were the most helpful swatch comparisons! ❤️ Love your detailed descriptions.
Thank you so much!!

Where is Beauty Creations sold in store?
Also, I wrote off Moira... but man.... you're making me want to buy the Moira shadows again.....
Theressaaaa ❤
They’re pretty nice! I wish they would make palettes with them
Why Hello! Come here often?
Love them. I don't own any moon dust but these would suffice for me. You look extra beautiful today. Very natural!!
Those earrings are looking so good on you. It feels these eyeshadows are probably for people who don't love much makeup, those feel like K-beauty style, very subtle! I like shine and sparkles ✨✨✨😅
I think Straight Fire is the only one I'd pick up if ELF still was sold in my country 😏
Thank you for this detailed review 😊
elf ships worldwide
@@sophieisyerin I know. But I live in a country where there's import faxes and fees for products outside the EU. Which means I end up paying 5x the price of the eyeshadow.
@@AnetteL.Nielsen which country is that? like mine is unfair but yours sounds terrible
@@sophieisyerin It's Denmark and yes really sucks...
@@AnetteL.Nielsen oh i wanted to go to denmark for erasmus though as a nurse, your hospitals are so much more advanced. pros and cons!
I want all the sparkles!

Love your hair Milly!
Thanks 🤣 I over toned it by accident
Love your hair ❤thank you for the comparisons and the detailed observations. You are so thorough ❤
Very thorough, very mindful, very demure ❤

Will check out Beauty Creations, thank you!
😹 they could have been shinier for sure, it’s kinda half way there.

Just received my ELF - they are absolutely gawgessss!!!? ❤

I second this :)
THANK YOU FOR THIS

Oooo that’s a great idea! A lil quad of these would have been amazing
My only sparkly shadows I have are Ritz by colourpop and space cowboy. Would love to add more colors. Thank you!
Just a tip for a beginner..go for multi purpose colors
And buy ones that will look different, from a distance
Half Magics blushing lizard is stunning and worth its $13 price point plus some.
Pop Off Pink is sooo disappointing. 😩 Thank you for saving me a few bucks!
I laughed when i first swatched it 😹 like someone swept up the dust from the floors where they make these and pressed it into an eyeshadow
Would you say Straight Fire has similarities to Half Magic Blushing Lizard? But less shiny?
Not really! blushing lizard feels squishy/wet, has more shine and a reddish brown base. Straight fire is very sheer and dry. I’ll post a swatch in my IG stories today!
Thanks for the review! They all are super sheer except for the filthy rich one. People who don’t wear eyeshadow (a lot) and who doesn’t want to spend a lot of money, this will do fine. But when you have as many eyeshadows, especially from Indie brands, this is very underwhelming.
Yep. But that Filthy Rich shade looks EPIC 🔥💯 Bet it will sell out of stock compared to the other shades.
I know I really want it for certain.
I was considering the Urban Decay Moonsuat quad butttttt should I just get Moira instead?
Yes. Moira or Colourpop (CP) or Beauty Creations (I haven't tried Beauty Creations tho). If u want singles that are duochromes, Moira is much better than CP, but their flips are still not as strong as Juvia's Place's, which only has palettes. Juvia's chromes are also not as strong as an indie brand's.

CP Supershocks also have different formulas from satins to medium sparkle to glam sparkle, but often label them all "ultra glitter". CP's "Ritz" is known as a close dupe to UD Space Cowboy to start tho.
I think these will look good on mature eyes, they seem less sparkly so won't show as much texture.
They remind me of ColourPop, and CP shock shadows definitely apply too sheer, and usually dry out immediately.
The first and especially that last shade are the only ones that I plan on trying. The others are way too sheer, but then depends on skin tone.
The Elf shadows don’t feel wet at all like Supershocks. They’re dry like a regular shimmer eyeshadow. Supershocks are much shinier than these 😅
@@badtothebrow Supershocks feel wet to you? I guess the ones I've bought were just bad batches then 🤷🏻♀️
Great video 👍👍 beautiful 💙💛❤💚💜
These are kinda underwhelming for Moondust shadow dupes, I think I’ll stick with Moira or Joocyee for my affordable sparkle fix
For aging eyelids, the ELF ones are nice and smooth. Sometimes we don't want the added texture. Just a viewpoint from someone in their mid 40's with very hooded eyes.
I will say pop off pink did look not much different than a silver in one of my old Kaleidos palettes. Both had a very similar sparkle on the eye and almost looked like one shadow ✨️

These are actually so disappointing. I hope they add more shades that have more of an impact
🖤
👍🏻
Thank you for doing the lords work haha
🫶🏻
❤❤
They didnt really try
Meh. Except for White Hot, I think Moira outshined elf. They aren’t awful, but they aren’t impactful enough for us indie lovers. Besides, Moira occasionally has sales too so I think I’ll pass.
I'm surprised there is no glitter as it looks all glitter.
Mica is so much prettier than glitter!
@geraldford2377 True. That's, of course, what I mean. Lol. Not actual glitter particles. To me, mica is glitters because it sparkles other colors.
It is microglitter absolutely. Love it.
