So I finaaalllly got my online ELF order in the
mail. You know how it is when
you order something online and keep
checking your mailbox every day
with anticipation. Well I was excited to finally get it because
I’ve never done a
big purchase from them.
And big to me is anything more than a few things.
I filmed a haul video, but also wanted to blog about the experience.
Let's just say it didn't all go as smoothly as hoped... So lets get started shall we?

Bad impression #1
It took
so long to receive my order. I don't know if that was due to the postal
service or elf’s shipping. It came from NJ. I ordered 10/22, and
received 11/5 (14 days). That may not
seem like a long time, but I've ordered from other retailers from NY and
received my items in as little as 3 days just using priority mall.
Everything showed IN STOCK online, so it couldn't have been due to a
backorder. But oh well, my panties aren't in a twist anymore, no biggie,
but it doesn't stop there.
Bad impression #2:
There was a dead smashed bug inside the
packaging of the blush brush that I ordered! :(( I was not happy. It had
me looking around to see if there were anymore dead bugs anywhere. Picture
below.
Bad impression #3:
I didn't receive my Candid Coral blush
I ordered. The packing slip showed "shipped", but it was
not in my package :( So frustrating. I've emailed them,
so if they send me out another one I'll probably have to wait another couple weeks----not
too pleased.
Im
normally not a complainer, but I share my experiences with
you guys good or
bad. That's my motto "keepin' it real", right :)

guys know what I think either on this blog or on my channel.

I
did email the company just now about the last 2 issues, so it all
depends on their response if I use their website again for ordering.

//UPDATE//
So
I did email elf right away about the missing blush and bug in the brush
packaging. They emailed me back that
same day or the next day and sent out a new brush and my missing blush. I checked the tracking they gave me and of
course it’s sent regular mail with an expected delivery date 8 days away. So that makes a final total of 23 days from
order to receiving my package in full.
Long story short- I am doubtful I’ll be using their website to buy their
product again.
Disclaimer: this blog has
nothing to do with how I feel about their products. I have yet to try out any of the items I
bought. This was primarily about what I
purchased and my shopping experience with them.
