E.l.f. Cosmetic Haul & Review

Hey dolls!

So also before Christmas I placed an order with E.l.f. Cosmetics. I received free shipping because my order was over $25 (that was the promotion they were offering at the time). I wanted to continue to build my professional makeup kit, so here is what I purchased...Enjoy!!!

BLUSHES
(left to right: Blushing Rose, Berry Merry, Mellow Mauve & Candid Coral)

I absolutely adore these blushes, and plan on buying more!!! They are so pigmented. I purchased these particular blushes first because I felt that they would work best and compliment any skin tone. They are $3.00 each, which is not bad for the quality and pigmentation you get. I have worn three out of the four (excluding Candid Coral) blushes and can't wait to buy more!

SUPER GLOSSY LIP SHINE
(left to right: Mauve Luxe & Iced Latte)Love these glosses! They were $1 each and are pigmented and smooth. I also own Candlelight, a nice nude, champagne shimmery gloss, but that gloss was out of stock of the website, so I couldn't get a picture for it :(...but for $1 I say these glosses are worth it!

FEATHER PROOF MOISTURIZING LIP LINER
(left to right: Spice & Mauve)I got these two lip pencils, because I thought it would compliment the lip glosses I purchased from E.l.f. and also the lip quads I purchased from Coastal Scents. I haven't used these yet, but when I swatched them on my hand they were smooth, creamy and pigmented! And they were only $1.

CREAM EYELINER IN BLACKThis is my second time purchasing an E.l.f. Cream Liner in Black. This time I purchased one for my kit. I love this stuff! It glides on very smooth and doesn't smudge. Right now I'm in love wit this product as well as Wet n Wild's cream eyeliner. This product was $3 (PERFECT!!!).

SPF 45 SUNSCREEN UVA/UVB PROTECTIONBefore purchasing this setting powder, I was using Cover Girl's Translucent powder...I decided to purchase E.l.f. powder for my kit. I've used it everyday I've put on makeup and I like how it sets my makeup. I think I prefer E.l.f.'s setting powder to my Cover Girl. This was $6.

SINGLE EYESHADOW IN SADDLEI'm not quite sure how I feel about this product just yet...I've swatched it on my hand and its a very pretty color and pigmented. But when I put it on my eye the quality just isn't the same. It could be the primer I use. On a daily basis I use MAC's Paint Pot in Groundwork which shows up like a neutral taupe on my lid. I probably should use my NYX eyeshadow base in white so that I can get more color payoff. But for $3 I would say its worth the buy.

DUO EYESHADOW CREAM IN BUTTER PECANI have yet to use this product but I'm not really to sure how I feel about it either. I purchased this product based off of a haul video I watched on youtube. It was extremely pretty. And I wanted to try out other makeup brands cream eyeshadow. So far I've used Benefit Cosmetics cream eyeshadow and I love it!!! So I thought I'd give this one a try. When swatched on my hand the colors don't even show up! Maybe I should try it with a base and a brush...maybe the results will be different! I HOPE! But it was only $1, so I can't complain too much! Lol

BLENDING EYE BRUSHI love a good blending brush! It just completes an eye look so well. So far my favorite blending brushes is this E.l.f. brush and Coastal Scents blending brush. I prefer to use the Coastal Scents blending brush to blend neutral colors into my crease area, and the E.l.f. blending brush I prefer to use in the outer corner of my crease to define the crease area a little more. This brush is $1 and very worth it!

LENGTHENING AND VOLUMIZING MASCARA
I love this mascara. It goes on great! The consistency is nice and I can really see the difference in how it lengthens and volumizies my lashes! I also purchased this for my kit.
Retail Price: $3.00


Hope you enjoyed this haul/review.
