e.l.f. haul

Hey loves -

This is probably the most exciting haul I've ever had. I ordered from e.l.f. online for the first time and it was like Christmas. I actually got this package a while ago because I ordered a gift for another friend's birthday back in June.

Let's get into the goods (clockwise):

Eyebrow Gel / Eyelash Gel ($1)
Lip Brush ($1)
Matte Lip Color - Pralene (Free gift)
Corrective Concealer Palette ($3)
Lipstick - Gypsy ($1)
Mineral Lipstick - Natural Nymph ($3)
Lip Lock Pencil ($1)
Blush - Mellow Muave ($1)
Custom Compact ($5 total; 4 shadows and palette holder)



I can safely say I'm obsesseedddd with e.l.f.! Their products go from $1-$15 and they're actually pretty decent. If I had to pick a favorite out of this, it would be the "Natural Nymph" that the internet has been buzzing about. Amazing amazing nude lipstick. Another must have is the Lip Lock pencil. It's a primer for your lip stick or gloss and let me tell you, its made a huge difference when I wear a bright red lip.

Things I'm not so crazy about: the corrective concealer. I was so bummed that this wasn't very good because I get a bit of redness on the very top of my cheekbones and wanted to neutralize it with this palette.  The concealers are very waxy and even with a decent concealer brush (Smashbox), I couldn't get a decent pick up to put on my skin.

If you have a chance to check e.l.f. out, do it! They also carry it at Target. They are always offering special gifts with online orders and the shipping isn't too crazy. With each product usually $1-$3, it's worth the exploration.

Picked up some stuff today:
** Bright Color Palette (e.l.f.) $5
** Shadow Quad (e.l.f) $1
** Party Pops Palette (Revlon) $8
** "Speak Louder" Cremesheen (Mac) $10 -- picked this up at CCS.



Better pictures of my small Haul from Cosmetic Company Store:
*** "Speak Louder"
*** "Straw Harvest" (Veluxe Pearl)
*** "Steamy" (Frost)

After purchasing "Steamy" I totally realized it's a perfect dupe for "Shimmermoss" from the Back to the Beach collection. Perfect!







For anyone who has never seen or shopped at Cosmetic Company Store: It's awesome! It's an outlet store run by Estee Lauder - the parent company to MAC and many other awesome brands. All products are around 30% and they carry leftovers of past collections that stores or counters stop carrying. If you have one near you, definitely check it out because the products are always changing. They also carry: Clinique, Bobbi Brown, Prescriptives, Estee Lauder, Origins, among random others that come up.
