E.L.F Cosmetics are one of my favourite affordable makeup brands so when I saw the retro paradise collection online I knew I had to get it and I could not wait to get testing this stunning collection.

On the E.l.F Cosmetics website it says, "Introducing Retro Paradise - A unique story of creation & innovation at our Beautyscape contest. This limited-edition collection is infused with the essence of the tropics and inspired by sun-soaked beaches, paradise hues and beautiful Bahamian vistas."
(https://www.elfcosmetics.co.uk/retro-paradise/)

What I got from the collection:
- 18 shade eyeshadow palette
- Dream on lip glosses in 'a moment', 'strawberry daquiri', 'tropical fruit punch'
- Liquid glitter eyeshadow in '24k gold' and 'disco queen'
- Multi dimensional face and body shimmer in 'luna'



''Retro paradise is at your fingertips with this vibrant, Bahamas-inspired eyeshadow palette. High-shine metallics and ultra-pigmented mattes in bright and neutral shades allow you to create your own tropical fantasy!''

The star of the show - the eyeshadow palette features 18 shades - a mixture of mattes and shimmers and warm tones and colourful shades and retails for £14. 



Swatches
Top Row L - R: Canvas, Sandy Bum, Rise And Shine
Bottom Row L - R: Dijon, Sea Salt, Fuego 

Swatches
L - R: Caliente, Cacao, Fortuna

Swatches
Top Row L - R: Spiced, Paraiso, Coconut
Bottom Row L - R: Sip Sip, Baja Mar, Tropicana

Swatches
L - R: Royal, Disco, Nightlife

I really love this palette the mattes are pigmented and blend nicely and the shimmers are also beautiful. The only shades I have a little difficulty with are the shimmer shades 'disco' and 'sea salt' as I have to add quite a lot of the shade 'disco' on a wet brush and with my finger to get it as intense as I would like it and the shade 'sea salt' was very crumbly and chunky so I wasn't a huge fan of that shade but they are both stunning colours. Over all I am super happy I have this palette in my collection it is stunning to look at and it is very versatile in my opinion so even though this was a summer themed collection I can still use it all year round .


Retro Paradise Liquid 
Glitter Eyeshadow

''Our best selling Liquid Glitter Eyeshadow shades in NEW Retro Paradise-inspired packaging.
Get your groove on with these Retro Paradise Liquid Glitter Eyeshadows. Its opaque, gel-based formula will last you from day time to disco time. High-impact, multi-dimensional glitters and pearls in a quick-drying gel base will take you to Retro Paradise.''


The shades I got:

- 24k gold 
- disco queen


These liquid glitter eyeshadows are so stunning and really make the eyes pop. They are really easy to use, last all day on the eyes and are super sparkly and pretty. I find using both the applicator and my finger or a brush works really well and they are extra nice used as a topper over a shimmer shadow.



''Nourishing, creamy lip gloss with sheer, iridescent shimmer – basically, what lip gloss dreams are made of. This lip gloss gives your lips a kiss of colour with an irresistible tropical scent.''

The shades I got:

- A Moment - Clear gloss with peach, pink, and gold glitter.
- Strawberry Daquiri - Nude pink gloss with iridescent pink shimmer.
- Tropical Fruit Punch - Soft peach gloss with warm gold and peach shimmer


Firstly these lip glosses smell so so delicious I cannot stop smelling them. They are also so lightweight and smooth on the lips with no stickiness or grittiness from the glitters. They give a nice hint of colour and sparkle and make your lips look so juicy. They pair nicely over lip liners and lipsticks as well as on their own on bare lips. I'm in love.




''Let’s be honest, you were born to shine. This face and body shimmer is packed with multi-dimensional sparkle for a reflective, wet-looking effect head to toe. The bouncy-textured formula delivers stick-free shimmer for comfortable wear and a tropical scent transports you to paradise.''

The shade I got:
Luna - Topper with white and yellow gold flecks



I got the shade Luna and it looks white in the pan but comes out quite a bright yellow gold on my skin so it is a little dark for me personally. The formula is a little powdery and chunky but it is definitely very blinding and metallic so it depends on your personal preference.

A look I did using:
- the retro paradise eyeshadow palette
- the 'luna' face and body shimmer
- 'strawberry daquiri' gloss

'Strawberry Daquiri' gloss

'Tropical Fruit Punch' gloss

'A Moment' gloss

So my final thoughts are I do think this collection is definitely worth a try as it looks so beautiful the packaging is gorgeous in my opinion and the glosses smell soooooo good. The products perform really well, are very versatile and are also such a reasonable price for such amazing quality. My favourites are definitely the glosses followed by the liquid eyeshadows and I wear them so often.

Lots Of Love
