Unexpected Makeup Shopping

Hi Lovelies!

Last Thursday my hubby took me for some makeup shopping, which I did not expect at all :p
We went to Kmart and I really didn't expect to get a lot, but I was so surprised of everything that I purchased.

I remember Kmart didn't have great makeup selection, well at least not the one in my area. But lately I've been very happy with what they have. Before Thursday the only place i could find E.L.F cosmetics, besides their website, is Target; so when I noticed the large display i quickly checked it out

 

Here's the stuff I got from E.L.F.:

 

I got 2 brushes, the Eyeshadow C Brush, the Blush Brush and a blush in Peachy Keen.($3.00 each)

Next from Wet n Wild some trios in Silent Treatment, I'm Getting Sunburned, and I Got Good Jeans ($1.99 each)

I also got 2 singles: Penny and Nutty ($1.99 each)

 

Next up are products from Maybelline:

(counter-clockwise from upper left corner) 

 Stylish Smokes: Natural Smokes

Modern Metallics: Chai Latte

Modern Metallics: Sunlit Bronze

Chic Naturals: Tastefully Taupe

I got 3 quads and 1 single on a BOGO 50% off, the Quads were $5.99 each, single $3.49; but with the BOGO sale I got 2 quads at $5.99 another quad for $3.00 and the single for $1.75

Next up, is the Carbon Black Lineur Intense felt tip applicator, which I've heard good things about and looking forward to use it and compare to the brush applicator one I already have. ($7.99)

And lastly, I got 2 eyeliners from the Clearance bins: Revlon Luxurious Color Eyeliner in Antiqued Gold, and Almay Blendable Eye Pencil in Navy. I don't remember the original price, but i got the Revlon eyeliner for $2.37 and Almay at $1.79.

I spent total of around $51.00 with tax, which is not bad at all for all that I got. Hubby was impressed of all the stuff I got too hehe.

So after this mini "shopping spree", I bought the UD Rollergirl palette on Friday, and I'm putting myself on a  Makeup No Buy, my goal is a month...let's see how it goes :)

Happy Monday!

E.L.F. Blushes and Bronzer

Hey Ladies!
Here's another part of my haul/review of the E.L.F. products i got awhile ago. Next up are blushes and bronzing powders: Tickled Pink and Candid Coral Blushes, and Golden Bronzer.

First, Tickled Pink: It's a very nice rosey pink with just a bit of hint of shimmer.

 

  Next is Candid Coral, this is my favorite, it has a light golden undertone, which gives a very pretty glow.
       

  Here are some swatches of the two:

Tickled Pink (left) and Candid Coral (right)

Next up, Golden Bronzer: This is one of my very first bronzers i own, and this bronzer i actually use the lightest shades as highlight, which gives me a sheer glow.

 Here are swatches of the individual squares

 And this is how it looks like blended, you can't tell very much, but that's what i like, it's a subtle glow: (i circled the area where I applied it)

So pretty much I really like these products, the blushes are pretty and very inexpensive ($3.00 each) and I think the Golden Bronzer was $3.00 as well.
I am very happy with what I have purchased from E.L.F. so far.
Let me know of any E.L.F. products you would like to recommend me.

Have a great day :)

Neutral and Bright E.L.F. palettes review

Hi Girlies!
Here's my review of the E.L.F. Neutral and Eye Brights Editions. The Beauty Book Editions have 12 Eyeshadows, some are shimmery, satiny and one very shimmery black in the Eye Bright Edition.
First of all is the Neutral Eye Edition

Here's a closer look:
                         
And some swatches:

My favorite is the first row :)
Next is the Eye Brights Edition:

On this palette my favorite is the second row
I purchased these 2 palettes at Target for $5.00 each. All of the colors are very pigmented, the texture is very good, and I like the color payoff. Overall, very good product at a convenient price.

Out of the 2, my favorite is definitely the Neutral Eye Edition :)

There is more E.L.F. products I got for review soon! :)

Have a Beautiful day

E.L.F Haul

Hi Everyone!

So I recently bought a few E.L.F stuff from Target that I want to share with you. I'm still using them to do a review that will be coming soon, I will also include swatches :)

 I got a couple of beauty books, Neutral Eye and Eye Brights Editions.

 The blushes are Ticked Pink and Candid Coral, which I have been using almost everyday.

 I'm kinda new to bronzers, so I'll see how they work out on me.

Alrighty, until next time!
