Product Review: E.l.f. Cosmetics

So just a few days ago, I went to my local Target and picked up three E.l.f. products. This is my first time using any product from the E.l.f. line other than their brushes.

E.l.f. is such an inexpensive product line and the quality of the products, in my opinion, are great. You're getting more than what you paid for when you get these products.

I picked up the 1). E.l.f. Beauty Book in Neutrals 2). E.l.f. Cream Eyeliner in Black and 3). E.l.f. Studio Contour Brush. Below is a mini review of each product:

E.l.f. Beauty Book in Neutrals
This beauty book includes 12 eye shadows with shades of browns, golds, and champagne colors, as well as a brown eyeliner pencil and an applicator brush. It also comes with step by step instructions on getting flawless eye makeup. I've used this palette once. I used concealer as my highlight, primed my eye with NYX eyeshadow base in white, and applied gold tones and browns to my lid and crease from the beauty book. So far so good. I really don't have complaints about this palette. It photographs well, especially on a camera with lots of pixels! Lol. As far the eyeliner pencil and applicator goes, I love the consistency and the color of the brown pencil eyeliner. I don't use sponge tip applicators, so I wouldn't know how that one works. Lol!

E.l.f. Cream Eyeliner in Black
Love, love, love this product! This cream eyeliner gets a 5-star rating from me. It was only $3 and very well worth it! Lol! The consistency is very creamy and glides on very nice and even with angled eyeliner brush! Once it dries it DOES NOT SMUDGE! Which is great! These product has become my very new favorite eyeliner hands done. Before I was using NYX liquid eyeliner in black, but I believe cream eyeliner is so much better. I also love how this product looks on my water line. It really defines my eye shape and color, and makes my eye shadow POP! This is must-have product!

E.l.f. Contour Brush
I've only used this brush once so I don't really want to give a complete review on this yet, but so far I like it. I use it do define my crease a little more, and it works! I'll start to use this product more and will give an update!!!

Product Review: Wet N' Wild Color Icon E/S Palette in Vanity

Hey!

So I picked up the Wet n' Wild Color Icon E/S Palette in Vanity at my local CVS the other day, after watching youtube videos about this product. There are six shadows in this palette (3 matte and 3 shimmer). Its a neutral palette that includes different color combination's to create the perfect neutral eye. I have used tihs palette twice so far. I love it, but I'm not in love with it. I consider myself to have a caramel skin tone, and this palette, in my opinion, has a better color payoff on lighter skin (even lighter than my skin tone). I would probably only use this palette when I don't feel like doing much to my face.

Below is a pic of the Vanity palette, and two youtube videos from makeup guru's who have posted tutorials, using this palette. Enjoy!

Product Review: CS 26 Shadow Blush Palette

Hey dolls,
This product review is looong overdue. I got this palette for Christmas, and have been wanting it for a while now. I already have Coastal Scents 28 Eye Shadow Neutral Palette, and this palette is similar to that only because the shadows are neutral in color. I love this palette a lot. If you were going away on a trip this would definitely be the only palette you'll need. Not only does it come with eye shadows ranging in color from golds, corals, grey's, purple's and browns, but it also comes with blushes. The textures include matte and shimmer. Below are pictures of my palette and the actual palette from Coastal Scents, so that you can see the color better!

LOTD: Look of the Day

Hola Dolls!!!

So here is a look I did a few days ago, using samples of eyeshadow I received from work. The brand is Cargo and I love their color palettes. I'm not sure how many color palettes they have, but I know my store only carried four of them. The two palettes that I sampled eyeshadow from were Tahiti and Vienna. All the palettes are named after cities. These colors are very vibrant, pigmented, and go so smooth. Love It.

So below is the look I came up with and the products I used. Hope you enjoy! SN: The eyelashes are Ardell #111.

From the Tahiti palette, I used the two second color on the bottom row, which is a nice teal color. And from the Vienna palette, I used the second color on the top row, which is a nice navy/gray color and I also used the first color on the bottom row, which is a nice caramel color. Check out Cargo for more products including their liquid foundation. Love it!

NEW LOOK: Jet Black & Red

Trying something different for the winter time! Did something dramatic (well not really, but dramatic for me)...so used to having sandy brown hair, but I'm getting used to this new look. Thinking about switching up my hair look and color every season. Will def go back to a brown/honey for the spring/summer!

Sample Product Reviews

Hey dolls,

So I have some more product reviews for you of products that I received samples of at my job. Hope you enjoy!!!

*NARS BLUSH IN LUSTER*I absolutely have fallen in love with this blush. NARS has the best blushes by far from any product/brand we carry in my store. In my opinion the color is a peachy taupe with gold bronze shimmer to it. It's not to much and it does wonders to help bring life to your face. No complaints here. When I used it I added a darker bronzer to contour my cheeks and another lighter bronzer as a highlight on my cheek bones. Consider trying this! It retails for $26. Not bad!

*LORAC TANtalizer BAKED BRONZER*If you have skin of color this is the perfect bronzer for you. It's gives the perfect glow to color skin. I love it. I plan on buying the full-size product, which retails for $32. According to Sephora's website, this bronzer is baked in terra cotta (and i love terra cotta as a blush), and it gives a radiance to the skin.

*URBAN DECAY E/S IN RUSH*At my job we have a variety of gold/neutral shades from Urban Decay. As soon as I swatched this project I fell in love, and knew that I would have to make a sample of it. It is the perfect gold. Not too much but not to little. I'm waiting to use it for a special occasion :)

*SMASHBOX PHOTO-FINISH OIL FREE LUMINIZER FOUNDATION PRIMER*I've used this product a couple of times and I actually like it. I wear it under my liquid foundation and it gives your face a luminous glow. I've also used there regular foundation primer which has no color to it. The texture is smooth and you only need about four-five dots to prime the face.

SN: If you haven't noticed from my other product reviews, I love the color gold and love to glow and for my makeup to look flawless. These products definitely do the job!!!!

Check out Sephora for these and more great products!!!

Grown and Sexy Fragrance: Beyonce Heat

Hey dolls,

I know this fragrance was released a couple of months ago, but working at Sephora I am forever making samples of it, and I just fell in love with its scent. I definitely think it has a womanly, sensual smell to it that is perfect from the grown and sexy!

I'm getting this for Christmas and I can't wait to go out wearing it! The second option to this fragrance is the Ultimate Elixir. The fragrance is the same, but because its an elixir it will stay on the body longer then the original formula. Go to a near by Sephora and check out the scent!
