Elf Beauty Book Bright
Hello Beauties,
It is the party season right now and it is here to stay for quite some time.I decided to perk up my eye makeup a bit and play with glitter shadows in bold hues. In the process I came across Elf Beauty Book-Bright.It is a nice eye shadow palette and here is my take on it.
Product Details:
This high quality, yet affordable eye makeup set allows you to achieve everyday professional results while creating the look that best reflects your personal style. Each popular BeautyBook includes a step-by-step guide to flawless eye makeup. Whether you choose one edition or the whole collection, you’ll love these all-in-one palettes with must-have eye makeup essentials.
Price:
5$
Packaging:
The packaging is the most attractive part of the product. Unlike its counterparts it is not a regular palette but it opens and looks like a book,a book with eye shadows instead of pages.It is like those hard bound books, and has a shimmery outer covering. As you open it you will find a set of 12 colors, in a varied array of shades, it has a mirror embedded in it as well as a dual sided applicator and and a eye defining pencil.The left “page” comprises of a eye shadow application tutorial in easy steps and pictures.It is very cute but not very practical as it is brittle. Coming to the applicator it is of very average quality, the kind you would never want to torture your eyes with.The shades do not have any name or number.
My experience with Elf Beauty Eye Book in Bright :
The colors are extremely bright and can be used for creating a lot of looks. Though quite versatile having shades of copper,brown,black,purple ,blue ,green etc they don’t have a uniform color payoff.while some shades are perfect with only one swipe on your eyelids,while some might need repeated application.The texture is very powdery and a considerable amount of loose product falls under the eye,even on the apples of your cheeks. The eye shadows are absolutely of no good without an eye shadow primer. Though the word “Glitter Eye ” is embossed in bold letters on the cover, most of the shades do not live upto the name. has a nice eye pencil, though it is a sample size of the original product but it is good, except for the fact that such wooden pencils lead to a lot of product loss.
Pros of Elf Beauty Eye Book in Bright:
- Inexpensive.
- Good for beginners.
- Attractive packaging.
- Bright colors.
Cons of Elf Beauty Eye Book in Bright:
- Very loose eye shadow texture,can create a mess.
- Applicator not upto the mark.
- No names for shades.
IMBB Rating:
2.8/5
The product screams out loud that you get what you pay for. I do not see my self buying this again, however if you want to try and see how bright shades work for you without burning a hole in your pocket.

I know wt u r talking about and i skipped it in store itself looking at the glittery feel it gives.. 😛 for the price we can’t blame them but wen we have much better choices in elf itself in same beauty books then why not choose them and skip this.. 🙂 good review gal!!
Thanks Neetu…not only the beauty books from elf..the shadow duos are also fairly good..but this one is a dud… 🙁
It was soo reasonable for a book but i wish it was good.. actually the texture seems very bad.. seems like it falls out too much 🙁
Yes it does …but I bought it online and it had good reviews….I don’t know why…..
It started on such a promising note…turned out to be such a dud 🙁
Kadambari… I am crestfallen….
The colors are toooooooo pretty, but the texture and mess 🙁
The colors were perfect….I palette with all the right shades at this price…. is too good to b e true
The colors r sooo pretty.. With all essential shades in it… It seemed a must hav… And then this texture… Why Elf… Why???
Arpita…I feel like returning it… $5 gone down the drain
I always thought that this is a good buy for such an affordable price…..but now it doesn’t seem to be good enough 🙁
Swati…I would definitely suggest to skip this one….
