I received a code in my email from ELF that saved me about $9 on their brush kit. It is originally priced at $30 and I was already planning on getting them. I could not resist! I got some things that I wanted to get the first time around.
Elf is perfect for a gal like me. I enjoy make up, but I don't go out of my way to spend a ton of money on it "/ if I could, I probably would? Who knows. Anyway, unto my haul and reviews on some of the products.-----------------------------------------------------
Again, the shipment got here earlier than I expected it to. It said I'd receive it on Jan 7th but I got it on the 6th. I was so happy :) Like the other shipment, not everything was bubble wrapped. But, this time around, I wish everything would've been, because a palette was damaged. Not to the point that it's trash, but.. see for yourself:Name: Natural
I didn't even have to do a swatch, you can see how pigmented it is here. I was cleaning it and got some of it on my hands.Same palette, different colors. Name: Party Some swatches. I am really loving the black! It's so shiny :)
ItsJudyTime made a tutorial one day, I think right before NYE and I actually did that look for NYE, a mermaid look (link) I believe it was. But I used the 120 palette, and I loved the ELF one she used. Which is the one above. It's the 32 piece eye shadow collection.These swatches aren't that good, but you get the point right? Don't mind my hairy arm and fingers "/ Im latina!
This is the brush kit. It's the 11 Piece Glittery one. I think they say that they are "Limited Edition" on the website. I like that they come with their own brush guards which help to keep the brush hairs in their natural shape, I guess that's the best way to put it. The brushes were surprisingly soft. I have eco tools brushes as well as coastal scents. Although these are softer than both of those brands, the other brands feel less, plastic? They feel more.. Real? I am happy with the quality though, they pick make up pretty well, and notice the little booklet it comes with, it tells you what each brush is for, which makes this kit perfect for any beginner, which is what I am : ) Oh! And a huge con to the brushes, is that when I opened the box the smell was VERY strong! I don't know what smelled though, because the brushes themselves didn't but the waterproof case reeked of chemicals. Air that sucker out! Mine smells fine now. Either way, I recommend to wash any brush you buy before you use them. Whatever the brand.
I hope this helped, since the last time I didn't really-- Okay, okay I didn't review the products at all! I have another review coming up for a drugstore purchase that I made. Have a great week!
I apologize, I have been slacking! But, I have a good enough excuse. I have been super duper lazy lately lol. And I have mostly been updating on my livejournal account. I get more personal in that journal/blog because after all, it is more private. No offense to any one of you lovelies!
My Christmas was a good one. It was relaxing, and spent at home with my family. It was just us and my grandmother. I gave my parents money for Christmas, since you can never have too much of that lol. I received one of the vanity tables that I shared with you guys a while back ago under a previous "Obsession Tuesday", post.
I had also ordered some things from the ELF site and it got delivered 3 days earlier than I expected it to! I was very excited, it was Christmas eve, and wow, FEDEX you rock! It really made my morning. Here are some photos. I ordered again today, I think I am addicted to make up haha, or for the sake of today's post, I am obsessed. But, screw it, you can never own too much of it, but there is a thing as wearing too much of it. And that's no bueno in my book.
Oh! I finally saw The Black Swan, and if I understood it, I would rate it lol. I have to IMDB the spoilers and see what others got from it. I was left scratching my head, like what? Huh? I have my own theories on it, but it would give it away to those that have yet to see it. Go!
Enjoy the pics!----------------------------------------------- 1 eye shadow is out of stock, so, I have to wait -_- Those lip glosses are great! I think I will order dupes just in case they discontinue them or something at one point lol I hope not! And that brush is very soft! I was surprised that for $1 the quality was that good. This was a free gift Colors: Mod Mauve, Smoky Brown, and Royal Purple. This is the brown one.
That's all for now! I'll probably update on Friday, I have been slacking on my BB Fridays, smh! But, I've been snapping a lot of pictures : ) Have a great week!
The video that I promised! Like I said, I am sorry if I come off as nervous, but, this is the first Haul video that I ever make! I'll get used to : ) Hope you enjoyed!
