I'm Gen X so to me Elf is like the "new Wet n Wild" lol but I've always thought Elf was overpriced for quality and overhyped for pricing smh. Here in the US I find it at the Dollar Tree often and Big Lots even has a dedicated Elf display lol. Just like Wet n Wild.. I'll only pick it up at Dollar Tree for $1 😬
@@kyky8862 I'm in Tassie and Kmart stock elf and I've watched the price escalation since tt vibed it up, purchased a few things and wasn't sure of the hype🤷♀️🤷♀️🤔
I legit see no issue with that base. Obviously you’re the pro but I think personally you look amazing. It looks nice and healthy, glowy from where I’m sitting💕
ahhh thank you!! i think i've realised recently that i'm just SO bloody picky with bases hahah 😂 i think i'm lucky because my skin is generally pretty good so when it doesn't meet my expactations i'm like WAAA hahah xx
@@stephanietoms kinda shook that u replied lol💕!! Yeah it’s whatever you’re comfortable with but from an outside perspective your makeup always looks gorgeous and I’m jealous hahah xx
Honestly the best products I've tried from Elf were the putty primers, the primer infused blush and bronzer, the chocolate mint bite-size palette from the mint melt collection, and the liquid glitter eyeshadows! 👍🏻
I swear it’s cause you’re hungover! Any time I try and do my makeup after drinking the night before it looks sooooo dry. I would definitely try them again!
Superdrug has a range called trichology for scalp problems like eczema, psoriasis, general dandruff etc and the rebalancing tonic is a game changer. You apply it to wet hair and leave it in and it makes such a difference to psoriasis, especially round the hairline!
The halo glow powder is the best setting powder I’ve ever tried. I’ve got dry skin and I’ve been through many tubs of it. I think you need to try it again over your favourite foundation. 💕
The halo glos doesn't like my skin at all. I wanted to love it so bad, but my face turns into a cakey mess inside of 2 hours. But everyone I hear mention it absolutely loves it..
@@LishaMaria2009 I’m so sorry it doesn’t work for you. Do bare in mind that everyone preps skin differently and I do feel it makes a big difference? And also what foundation you are using too 💕
I got my notification. Can't wait to watch the video! Edit: I can't use the concealer. I'm 51 and it makes me look like I am 101. I do like the powder but I use it very sparingly. I'm trying out the blush and bronzer cream. I tried the liquid glitter once. Nope. Not only did I have lots of fallout but again and made my eyes look worse. I use the other mini eyeshadow and do my eyes first. I have not tried the mint one but I've seen reviews that say it is not the same quality as the regular mini's. Most of the other stuff I have not tried so I can't give an opinion on it. But you tried! I think you had the same experience as a lot of people. Hope you have gotten rid of your hangover! Love your videos! 💓💓💓
Every time i've ever tried the "spray the brush with setting spray" technique with eyeshadow, it turns into a chunky curdled mess that slides off my eyelids within an hour.
I'm iffy about elf products as well, I do however love their hydrate concealer. And it's affordable, BUT again I'm matte girl but love a dewy look that looks hydrating not dry and caked. And Steph loves her dewy hydrate look.💋 Love the review 🙂
I have the camo cc cream and I don’t love it by itself, however, I mixed it with a different foundation that was too oily for me and I absolutely love the combo. Lasts all day and looks amazing 😊❤️
I had the exact same problem with the foundation. It didn't stick to my nose and highlighted dry patches I never knew I had! Been really enjoying ELF skincare though. Particularly the cleansing balm and face wash x
I got a notification, don't like you, I love you!!!!! Lol Thought you carried the look pretty damn good 😀 I also get psoriasis in my hair, and won't use the cream in hair, but I will watch all the advice people give you (I know I'm a cheeky mare!) Lol. Lovely to see you as always xx
tried the putty bronzer in bronzed belle and thought it was going to be a lot darker/more pigmented because it looks hella dark in the pot, ended up being quite light.. blends nice tho
omg YAYYYY! i think whatever we're doing is starting to work haha. i'm having a meeting with youtube soon though to find out what's going on! thanks for being here friend xxxx
Happy Tuesday Steph, I think that the cc cream looked fantastic, but you could see when you put the concealer on, it start d to look dry. Love the vid 🥰
You did well to save it! I would have took a hissy fit washed my face and never spoke of the video 😂 so good for you for keeping it real and embracing when things don’t go to plan
Hey Steph, absolutely love you, your just so natural in all your vidoes, and your always entertaining to watch! 🤗 Even though these products didn't really work out like you wanted the end look was still really beautiful 💖 thanks for sharing this with us
I’m late watching this, but the Amika reset shampoo is good for the scalp. Because it clears any product from your skin. Apple cider vinegar can help too, if it’s itching. Or apply aloe Vera, put it in over night and wash your hair in the morning xx
so, i worked with adults with developmental disabilities, when one of my clients had psoriasis behind his ears and on the top of his head, he was bald, but we used a combination of jojoba oil and coconut oil and it cleared it in a day or two, just be sure to use it regularly with a flair up.
Steph! 😱 I get a notification of your video but it doesn’t show up on the feed even when i refresh 😒 stupid TH-cam! Love you so much & even with bad makeup you always look gorgeous 🥺🌸
first thing i wondered was if you had any moisturizer on and second thing was your base could look the way it is because you're hungover, drinking dehydrates you and draws moisture from where ever it can in your body so it would make sense that your skin would be dehydrated. as an esthetician that's where my mind went.
Oh babe ELF let you down hun! Not to hot! But I liked the face pallet... and your awsome 😍 as always! Love you Steff and hope you're hangover goes soon. P.s I get all your notifications now xxx
I have oily to normal skin and that CC cream looks caked and dry on me! BUT try the camp concealer as a foundation. I love how it looks on my face. Medium coverage and a nice glow. Doesn’t work under my eyes though.
Psoriasis scalp suferer for about 20odd years, ingesting tumeric daily can help, but im the same with creams etc as its on my scalp. Found anxiety and stress can make it worse but best shampoo iv found is Shea Moisture - Jamacian black castor oil. Doesnt lather up much but iv found its calmed things down and i dont have big scales now ❤🖤
Beautiful as always! I would say my body was 70% covered in psoriasis, I tried all the creams, lotions and positions then I went to see a dermatologist who recommended consentyx. Now I don’t have ANY psoriasis, I don’t know if you know but it is actually linked to arthritis and you may start to get symptoms of that if you haven’t already and the medication actually helps with that too 💜
Mixing the camo cc cream with some moisturizer is how I apply it. It doesn't look near as cakey and I lightly set it with powder and setting spray. I have oily skin and it works well.
My husband uses Nizoral cream for his skin and it’s a life saver, plus you can get it in shampoo form. When he uses the shampoo he rubs the excess over the issue areas on his face too and it clears it all up so this would be perfect for you to use on the hairline. Literally the only thing that fixes his skin.
I bought the CC cream and regretted it almost instantly. Looked nice for 5 mins then separated and went really textured. Tried w and without primer but does not look good on my skin at all. Glad I’m not the only one who has struggled with it!
For psoriasis people- the Kristen Ess bubble scalp mask is great, and the Philip Kingsley Flaky Itchy Scalp Toner is good for top ups until the next wash. I also have been using Dr Organic Coffee Anti-Dandruff Shampoo from Holland and Barrett and it's been holding up well.
arghh thank you emily! i think youtube basically sends notifications if people watch/like/comment etc so that might be why! i don't think it's gonna be an overnight fix but fingers crossed we can get me back in the alghorithm haha! appreciate u xxx
I use scent, colour and fragrance free shampoo and conditioner. I also use a shampoo scrub when my scalp is OK it helps keep at bay, but make sure the scrub is good for sensitive scalps. Hope it helps. I'm having issues at the moment too xxx
For psoriasis on the scalp, I use a foam with betamethasone in it. The name here is Deflatop. I'm from Germany so unfortunately I don't know what the product is called in the UK but it's amazing. You put it on your scalp after washing your hair and it will not influence the texture of your hair or make it more greasy. It's only available in pharmacies though. Another tip is using heel balm on the areas where you have psoriasis outbreaks (not on the scalp obviously) and trying different shampoos until you find one that doesn't irritate your scalp too much. Also taking skin health supplements (folate, selenium, etc.) can help as well.
I tried that foundation and I think it was too heavy for my skin type as I looked like I was shedding within 20mins of putting my base on. I'm now in love with a random No.7 one that I bought on a whim x
I agree that the CC Camo makes the skin look cakey on me too, although so many people love it and compare it to It cosmetics CC cream. In my opinion it is not compareble, the It one is my favourite and looks great but the elf does not. Overall though I do like Elf in general and use a lot of their makeup! I think you looked great as always! Big hug to you 😘
I have nothing but good experiences with elf products and a lot of my everyday/holy grails are elf items😅 I have very dry skin so I use an extremely moisturising primer and the elf putty primer before the CC cream and I don’t go in with too much since you only need a little because of how full coverage it is and it doesn’t look cakey at all. Hate the elf camo concealer but looove the elf hydrating concealer!! I fill in my brows with an elf brow kit that has a wax and a powder in it but I don’t really use the powder. I think if you bought the elf bite size eyeshadow pallets in different shades you would really enjoy them because the quality for the price is amazing!! You should also try the bite size blushes, they’re soo good! Something I do to make sure my base doesn’t look crusty no matter what products I’m using is spray my face with setting spray in between layers of powder, so after I’ve set my base with setting powder I go in with setting spray and after applying blush, bronzer and highlight I go in with setting spray again and do mascara last
I LOVE E.L.F. but I have the exact same issues with the cc-cream and the translucent powder as you do. Dry-ness with the powder and the foundation just won't stick to my skin, no matter the primer (or without). WIth a foundation that actually works for me, the putty bronzer and blush look beautiful though! I really recommend those!
Oh my dear Steph, honestly it’s not that bad I promise. I do not like a single thing ever when I’m hanging either. I definitely do not like staring at my own face for ages like you have here!
For me it was 20:51 in when you could literally see the eyeshadow rising through the air like smoke because the formula is so dry and dusty. Steph is good but nothing was going to save that eye palette!
I enjoy this cc cream mixed with the auric glow stuff or the Charlotte tilbury Hollywood flawless filter stuff. It makes it less matte and you use less to cover your face so it's not cake face.
I have really bad psoriasis my self and I’ve found that the Philip Kingsley itchy scalp tonic works really well along with the shampoo as well hope this helps you xx
Elf’s CC is so full coverage. I applied too much and wasn’t a fan of it at first…but then I did only half a pump and paired it with light concealer. It also needs a silky powder; it gets a bit flaky on me too.
If this is what terrible base makeup looks like then I’m straight up screwed.

oooh thank you mate! i'll give anything a try at this point ha!x
I have combo skin and I love that primer and halo powder, but I hate the CC cream!
Elf’s CC is so full coverage. I applied too much and wasn’t a fan of it at first…but then I did only half a pump and paired it with light concealer. It also needs a silky powder; it gets a bit flaky on me too.
