ELF Cream Eye Liner Review

2012-02-02T20:51:00.000-08:00

Aghh.. I Feel like I've been neglecting my blog! I've been super busy with things in my life and it seems when I sit down to write this review that I meant to have up at least 2 days ago.. So without further a do.... Here is ELFS cream eyeliner in black.

I bought this eye liner when I ordered my elf online, and the cost was $3.00 which isn't bad at ALL. I've heard this eyeliner to be compared to Coastal Scent's cream eyeliner, which I haven't tried yet but I defintely plan on it! the website states that this cream formula creates smooth lines that are defined and precise. I agree. I find this very smudge proof and once applied it dries fast which is always awesome. I did a swatch on my hand when i bought it and tried to remove it with a make up remover wipe and I had to sit there and scrub it off! thats how awesome this is!

PROS:
Smudge Proof
Sticks wonderful
Blends Well
Last's Long
Dries Fast

CONS:
NONE!

Pink Sugar By Aquolina Review

2012-01-30T07:41:00.000-08:00

I've seen this fragrance ALL over YouTube, But I was watching juicystar07 (Blair Fowler) on you tube the other day and she was RAVING about it in one of her videos, so I HAD to try it! I live in Louisiana, top of the boot, there's NO sephora around me. So I was already ordering Christian Audigier By Christian Audigier from fragnancenet.com so I decided to go ahead and pick up pink sugar while I was at it!

I paid 13.75 for a 1 ounce bottle of it. It came in a tubed container which I LOVE because it protects the perfume from hot temperatures and the sun. The packaging is so pretty with the pink stripes on the bottle although it looks as tho the stripes on the lid will easily wear off, which I don't like because I like to have my perfumes looking gorgeous in my collection! so thank goodness for the container!

when I first smelled it, I automatically was reminded of Britney Spear's perfume fantasy. I wore fantasy all through out my last few years of school, so it brought me back! but in all honesty, fantasy is better. I'm still trying to get into this perfume. I was very over whelmed when I first sprayed this because it was so strong, so you really don't need to spray that much. I'd say one spray would it. All I could smell at first was black licorice and I HATE licorice.YUCK I hated it, but after awhile of wearing it, I started smelling cotton candy and warm sugar. So the first little while wearing it, it's gonna smell awful if you don't like licorice, but after awhile it starts to smell good! So, I'm glad to have bought the small 1 oz. because I will not be purchasing this again.

PROS:
Pretty Packaging
Eventually smells like cotton candy. yum!!
great container to keep it safe from the sun and hot temperatures

CONS:
Smells like black licorice
too strong and overwhelming

WHERE TO BUY:
Sephora

E.L.F. STUDIO DUO CONCEALER/HIGHLIGHTER

2012-01-28T17:40:00.000-08:00

YAY! I'm finally back to my reviews! I'm in a little bit of pain from the chest wall crap, but I'm still able to post!

So this was requested from 3 different followers! So go check out their channels!

Lilys Mama
Colour By Makeup
Lip Gloss Lily

This is ELF'S Studio Duo Concealer / highlighter in my shade LIGHT. I bought this at wal mart for 3 dollars.
I've been using it every day this week, and I like it. Don't LOVE it, but It's a like :). I use the concealer to help cover up redness that I still have after I apply my foundation and it covers the red nicely. I like apply the high lighter on my cheek bones to give them a glow. It doesn't last long I've found and I've had to apply the concealer again after a couple of hours but that doesn't really bother me much and it seems like it sinks into my pours a little bit. Anyone have that problem with it? Lemme know in a comment!

SO over all, I'll give this a B !

PROS:
Blends Nicely
Highlighter is nice :)
Covers redness

CONS:
Wears off after awhile
Sinks into my pours

SHADES AVAILABLE:
Fair
Light
Medium

FIRST IMPRESSIONS OF COASTAL SCENTS GO PALETTE - LONDON

2012-01-24T00:00:00.000-08:00

-BANG, BANG, WE'RE BEAUTIFUL AND DIRTY RICH.

Am I the only one who likes to blare lady gaga for inspiration when posting a new blog? I am, helps me figure out what I need to write and keeps me focused!! LOL, ANYWAYS.

I FREAKING love coastal scents, I have the 88 shimmer palette, which I need to repurchase bc I've used almost all of the colors. THAT'S how much I LOVE that palette :) I also own one of the brush sets which are also amazing!!! And the brush cleaner and their hot pink kabuki that is my LOVE!!! okay..ON WITH THE ACTUAL MEANING OF THIS POST AHAHA

-BREAK IT DOWN AND JUST DANCE ....LALALAAAAAAAA

I just recently gotten the go palette in London and I've just been to busy to actually mess around with it (eeekk.. my bad) but I finally decided to open it and OH EM GEE it's so pretty!!! FIRST OFF, I didn't really play with it because it was so tiny and it was just one of those things I put in my drawer that's made for products I need to play with and I was digging around and pulled it out, and been looking at it and here we go with my thoughts on it!

-PROMISE I'LL BE KIND, BUT I WONT STOP TILL THAT BOY IS MINE

I originally bought this because of the light purple in it, because it's my favorite purple color EVER and I couldn't find it in anything other then the 88 palette so that's why I picked it and because LONDON, is what I want to name my daughter one day and my most want to visit places in the world.

I payed $8.95 for this, its super affordable!

I opened the box and was surprised at how small it was, it's like the size of a MAC SKIN FINISH but squared shaped, So it's definitely good for traveling and on the go it had 12 eye shadows and they are dime sized which is probably the only thing I didn't like about this. They are very pigmented, the shimmery ones are. I don't really like the matte ones too much, they were kind of chalky for me. ( 3rd row)

My favorites were the first light blue, all the purples, and the blacks. the charcoal looking black is actually pretty glittery :) it's super pretty! and the matte black is definitely good for setting your eyeliner!

I LOVE this and I think you should go freaking get it!

Here are some swatches! Got this pic from google, my camera batteries are completely dead and I needed to get this up tonight -_-

If you have this palette or any of them from the collection, please tell me what you think of it!

ELF COMPLEXION PERFECTION REVIEW

2012-01-23T12:18:00.000-08:00

Ok girls! I'm finally back into my routine so time for a review! This review was requested by the lovely http://melodylouise.blogspot.com/ go check her out , she is awesome! So, I'm gonna try something new because I wasn't like the way I was writting and designing my reviews, so please let me know which way you like the way I write them! go check out my reviews from before and let me know!

I bought the elf complexion perfection from target for $3.00 last week and have been playing with it, I have problems with redness , ALOT of redness so I always rely on a green concealer to help cover it, and I must say the green in this pallette works wonderful! I haven't quite figured out what the other colors are for yet, but i like to swirl them and lightely apply it to help set my foundation and it seems to work great! The only thing I DIDN'T like about this is it's incredibly messy, it has alot of fall out and it drives me insane!! But other then that, I think EVERY one should own this in their collection. LOVE THIS, I'll defintely be repurchasing this!

PROS
-covers redness
-good for setting foundation
-affordable

CONS
-too much fall out

PACKAGING:

Comes in a sturdy black container with a very nicely sized mirror inside, and comes with the 4 shades in pink, green, blue and yellow.

DOES IT WORK?

I would say yes :)

SO.. I went into wal mart to origanly get revlon's lip butters so I could review them but, when I got to the section the colors I wanted, were all gone! So I just began browsing and eventually found something similar to that in one of the colors I was looking for! which is listed below :) SO. for the exciting part, I was getting ready to leave the make up aisles, when I was walking down the last one and 2 ladies were setting up displays for ELF! I nearly had a heart attack, because on the way to wal mart, I was dicussing how I wished wal mart would sell it because that freakin drive to target is just annoying and there I was ... ELF in WAL MART. I gasped and the women looked at my like I was stupid. LOL so I couldn't get anything yet because they just started hanging up the brushes so I walked off and browsed a good 30 mins and returned. I asked the lady if I could grab some things, so I grabbed what they already had out and looked at the display to see what else they were putting out, which wasnt much and then my son, (9 months) knocked down all the rimmel lipsticks on the other aisle -_- FML. so embarrasing...so i grabbed what I had and LEFT.

ANYWAYS! SO OMG WAL MART HAS ELF! SO EXCITING! i dont wanna keep rambling on, so here's what I got....

ELF EYEBROW KIT IN MEDIUM REVIEW

2012-01-17T22:34:00.000-08:00

This review was requested by the lovely miss kristin, her blog link here: http://meetmeonthebrightside.blogspot.com/ GO FOLLOW HER!

I was very ehh on getting this product because I've never worried about my eyebrows other then plucking them when needed. But now that I've purchased this and been playing with it, I am SO glad I bought this product and CANNOT believe I've neglected my poor eyebrows, because this makes a world of a difference to my eyes! on to the review!

THE PRODUCT AND PACKAGING:

The product comes with 2 steps, wax and powder. The brow kit is housed in a small, lightweight, plastic flip casing. It comes with a small mirror and an impressive double-sided taklon brush. It has 0.07oz/ 2 grams worth of product or at least thats what the box says and it retails for 3 dollars. This product says it promises to create brows that are fuller, thicker, and more defined and goes on to say this duo provides lasting color definition for a naturally beautiful look.

WHERE TO FIND:

- TARGET

- WWW.EYESLIPSFACE.COM

HOW TO USE:

Use the angle sided brush provided or your own, and get some of the wax product onto the brush and apply to your eyebrows the way you like to shape them. After wards, use the fluffy side of the brush or use your own, and apply the powder over the wax. Believe me, the powder helps set in the wax!

SHADE AVAILAIBLE:

LIGHT

MEDIUM

DARK

ASH

MY REVIEW:

I LOVE THIS. It's freaking amazing. It does things to my eyebrows I couldn't even begin to describe, it feels sticky at first when applying, but after the powder sets in I don't even feel anything and I can't even feel anything there. It's great. I love the packaging and believe it's easy to carry any where you go. FOR ME, it lasts all day and I've only had to touch up just one through out the day. I DON'T like pencil form for eyebrows because I feel like it looks like you have just drawn on your eyebrows, while this wax and powder makes it look natural. I give this an A+ and recommend it for everyone! OH and i'm the shade medium! LOL my bad!

(please excuse my no make up look, I was just experimenting with this product!!)

On the left, is the eyebrow with the product and on right, is without.
Can you tell the difference? I sure can, I CANNOT belieeve how much better my eyebrows look and how much it makes my eyes pop and gives them more color!

E.L.F. LINE IN TARGET? - A HAUL

2012-01-16T14:13:00.000-08:00

So, my microwave blew this morning and I went out to get a new one at target. While I was there I decided to take a stroll through the make up aisles and see if anything caught my eye.. I was about to get a new lipstick from maybelline when I turned around and saw a whole entire rack of ELF! I about DIED because I was already in the process of ordering a huge order from the website. Target had eveything I was going to order!!! These things that I have been wanting to get for over a year now! I only piccked up 3 items this trip because I didnt bring much cash on me but I will be going back next week or so and will be picking up more so look out for that haul! for the time being, go to target and stock up!

Below are the pics of the items I purchased. If you would like a review on any of them please let me know!

TONE CORRECTING POWDER - 3.00

EYEBROW KIT IN MEDIUM - 3.00

HYPERSHINE LIP GLOSS IN FAIRY - 1.00

MUST HAVE HAIR PRODUCT :AUSSIE 3 MINUTE MIRACLE.

2012-01-15T08:20:00.000-08:00

This first came about to me in 2008, I just given birth to my son Collin and I wanted a fresh new look. So I went to my local hair salon and told my stylist I wanted to go blonde, Which wasn't my best idea because I was a brunette and it just turned out horrific and It came out sun kiss orange.. -_- It totally FRIED my hair and she recommended this product. I tried and it amazingly tamed the frizziness.. I FELL IN LOVE!

THE PRODUCT:

Comes in a purple container with a white lid. The product comes out when you squeeze the bottle. No need to open or shut! This product promises to deep condition your damaged do's and says it's a simple fix for dry hair! It also contains Australian natural ingredients! This also contains 8.0 oz. of product. It smells of coconut and pina coloda.

It comes at an affordable price of 2.99-3.99. varies by location and store.

WHERE TO FIND:

Just about any store that sales hair care products.

HOW TO USE:

After shampooing hair with Aussie shampoo of course :) Use a pea size amount and lather then into your hair, not so much to your roots. start from the tips and work your way up. Leave in for 3 minutes, then rinse and wah la!

MY REVIEW:

This is my favorite conditioner. I will not use any other conditioner. My hair is super thin and this works great for my hair. It's so easy to brush out my hair and it just smells great and I get so many compliments about it! I also love that its so affordable! I urge that every one tries this!

MY TOP 5 FAVORITE EYE SHADOWS OF 2011

2012-01-13T22:34:00.000-08:00

So here is my top 5 favorite and most worn eyeshadows of 2011. If you would like a full review on anything that is listed please leave a comment and let me know!

MAC PIGMENT IN TAN
This pigment is so amazingly beautiful! This shadow was the most worn shadow in my collection of 2011. This pretty pink brown bronze gold color is so easy to blend into your eye lids and it goes on so smooth.It's also long lasting. I Love to pair it with the next pigment below :) It retails at MAC for 20.00 US dollars.

MAC PIGMENT IN PINK BRONZE

Now alot of you are probably thinking, SERIOUSLY!!!! this color is so insanly ugly! but it's one of my favorites! I like to apply tan pigment lightly and then apply this color on top to tone it down a bit because this pinky-orange color is so bright, but it turns into an amazing look! It also retails at mac for 20.00 US dollars.

CLINIQUE PAIR OF EYESHADOW DUO IN BRONZE SATIN / IVORY BISQUE

I cannot even begin to fathom how freaking much I love this duo. This is my everyday go to look. The feeling of these matte shadows are amazing and they apply and blend so well! so gorgeous! I apply the light shadow on my lid and the bronze color into my crease and its amazing!!! LOVE IT! although, I heard this was discontinued? It retailed at 18.00 US dollars.

HIP STUDIO SECRET PROFESSIONAL DUO IN PLATINUM

This duo has been in my top 5 favorites in 2009 and in 2010. It's probably going to end up in alot of my monthly favorites and my 2012 favorites LOL. This duo is my favorite duo for a silver/black smokey eye. I cannot even count the number of these I have went through because I CANNOT find ANY other silver that AMAZING in this duo! its so easy to apply, just a little hard to blend! I THINK it retails around 8-9 US Dollars. (could be wrong)

MAYBELLINE EYE STUDIO COLOR EXPLOSION IN AMETHYST

Okay.. I bought this expensive ass pallette in October :/ LOL. but It quickly became my favorite purple pallette! I bought it because of the sparkling top coat color...its freaking amazing. and this is such a highly pigmented pallette for drugstore brand. it's a little pricy but it was SO worth it. Retails for 10.99 US Dollars.

WET N WILD TRIO - WALKING ON EGGSHELLS

2012-01-12T09:35:00.000-08:00

Wet N Wild has never really struck me as good products until I came across these trios. I also wasn't a fan of trios like this that gave you instructions on which shade goes where. BUT I must say, this trio is amazing in that department! With that being said, I decided to review this. I also have this trio in "Dont Steal My Thunder"

ABOUT THE PRODUCT:

These trios come in many different shades and packaging. Below I will list the other trios in the collection I found this trio in. This promises to enhance your eye color and also states to be an all-day crease resistant color. Product amount is 3.5 GRAMS. They are at a really affordable price of 2.99. . It has 3 shades inside with indicators of what shade goes where and comes with 2 applicators which is a sponge app. and a brissle like kind of brush.

THE PACKAGING:

The trio comes in a black rectangled shaped container with a plastic lid that clicks shut for reassurance it's contained. The lid is engraved with the logo of wet n wild. On the back of the product is a sticker with a detail instruction guide of where to put each shade.

WHERE TO FIND:

I'm pretty sure you can find them ALL over the internet if you can't find them in stores, but stores i've seen them in are:

Wal Greens

Rite Aid

CVS

Target

Dollar General

THE COLLECTION:

Don't Steal My Thunder

I Got Good Jeans

I'm Getting Sunburned

I Dream Of Greenie

Silent Treatment

Spoiled Brat

I'm Feeling Retro

On Cloud 9

Knock On Wood

Sweet As Candy

Cool As A Cucumber

MY REVIEW:

I bought this trio a couple of months ago and have been testing them out for awhile now and have found alot of pros and not alot of cons. I'm usually a bold kind of girl when it comes to eye looks, I prefer purple looks and smokey silver / black. Its just been real recent I've become interested in nutural looks. With two kids instead of one , sometimes I really do not like to spend alot of time on my make up ( I'm sure alot of mothers can relate!) so this trio has became my go to trio for nutural eyes!

Having brown eyes, I LOVE how it makes them pop and become beautiful! I feel that they are very smooth and easy to apply. They are shimmery which is awesome. They remind me so much of some colors in the naked pallette by urban decay.

To me they are easy to blend and I've only used them as the directions stated and I think they have done a great job as far as labeling which color goes where which I think is great for beginners who aren't too sure where to put what color. You don't have to put the colors where they state, it has just worked best for me.

They are very pigmented and have lasted me a good 12-14 hour day. I would def. recommend applying a primer beneath to keep from creasing and fading. Which for the lid I use MAC Paint Pot in Painterly and MAC Bare Study for the eyebrow just to give it an extra pop! It makes a world's difference in my opinion!

The only problem I had was fall out. It drove me crazy when applying this because it went every where and I had to apply this before my foundation and feel like after your get the product into your brush and your having to tap access away or blowing it away in your trio is waisting product so I just wish it wasn't so loose!

But over all, I give this product a B-

I recommend this for starters and also say, the shadows and pigmentation is amazing! You can't beat a awesome 3 dollar eyeshadow like this!

MAYBELLINE DREAM BOUNCY BLUSH

2012-01-10T22:46:00.000-08:00

Maybelline has recently released some new products, I've been hearing about this unique blush for awhile now and decided I needed to try and add this product to my collection! Cream blushes work best for my skin type because it seems to me powdered blushes ALWAYS cake up on my skin and leave nasty patches while cream blushes seem to go into my skin smoothly and perfectly!

THE PRODUCT:

This unique blush is available in 10 different shades! Below I will list the shades created!

It's oil free and promises to be light weight like a powder but melts into your skin like a cream. The amount of product you receive is 5.6 Grams and the price can differ by location, but at the store where I purchased mine was 8.00 and from where I've seen them, they are located at wal-mart and just about any drugstore that carries maybelline and also ulta!

It comes in champagne colored container with a plastic clear lid that pops open and closed. The product is dome shaped and I've heard from other bloggers that it reminds them of marsh mellows or peeps and I must agree!

SHADES AVAILABLE:

(in no particular order)

05 FRESH PINK

10 PINK FROSTING

15 ROSE PETAL

20 PEACH SATIN

30 CANDY CORAL

70 HOT TAMALE

40 PINK PLUM

45 ORCHID HUS

50 PLUM WINE

60 COFFEE CAKE

MY REVIEW:

The shade I own this in is the one in the picture above. I saw this in my local wal mart for the first time a couple of weeks before Christmas but totally did not pay any attention to it because I was busy Christmas shopping for my 2 sons! After a couple of days went by I started hearing more about this product via YouTube and that's when I HAD to try this! I'm a sucker for pink blushes, I've ALWAYS used pink blush BC I'm pale, CLASSIC IVORY and pink seemed to always work for me! I must say the ad of it being bouncy is was attracted me into buying this product. The size of this product for the price definitely had me at WHOAH , I'm a stay at home mom so if I'm buying any make up products for a high price it MUST last awhile and after playing with it for awhile it seems like it will def. last me awhile. I did see bouncy in it, but it wasn't AS cool as I thought it was gonna be, but all in all it was still cool lol.

It blended into my skin wonderfully but was very sheer which I LOVE, and it took me a good 3 coats to make it bright on my face but it could very well be just the shade I have gotten was too light for my liking, but of course I can make it work and build it up to the shade I'm looking for! It's not matte or shimmery, which I also like and it feels like nothing is on my cheeks! However, I did find it wears off after a couple of hours and I found myself having to reapply the blush through out the day but that's okay! But over all the pigmentation isn't that bad!

I wouldn't recommend using a any type of brushes with this product, I've found using your fingers is the best use. I would definitely compare these blushes to the dream mousse blush which I own and is my FAVORITE blush of all times and I'm really sad to hear it's being discontinued but this product definitely makes up for it! I do wish this product was a little big bigger because I have a hard time digging thru my drawer looking for this!

I rate this with a B because the only negative is the wearing off, wish it would last a little longer but all in all, a great product and I do recommend this. If you have any questions or feel I have left something out please comment and I will reply as soon as I can!
