So my order from E.L.F finally came... I'm moderately pleased. :P Then again, when things are a super cheap... really shouldn't complain. I also ordered some falsies and glue from Madame Madeline.
Here's all that came, and the card has an 8% off discount... which... since the lashes were only $1.99 I don't really need it.
Brush on gluuuue. <3 I love this already. It goes on clear, doesn't smell horrid, and there is no risk of a sticky accident all over my lashes.
Top lashes! These are SO nice for $1.99 just... wow they are so soft and I don't even feel them when I put them on. Cause you know there are those ones, those ones where no matter how long you wear them you feel them, not a good thing.
Here are the bottom lashes. I had to cut them a bit, but still really great for the price. :)
Now for the E.L.F items!
1. on the upper left is the Eyebrow Treat and Tame, works pretty good. The Treat end is much lighter than my eyebrows... but actually I'm kind of glad, it kind of makes them look a little softer. Good deal!
2. Below that is the eyeliner brush, love it. I've needed on of those so badly and it's good quality for $1... or at least it gets the job done.
3. Next is the eyelid primer, eh... it's okay. Does what it's supposed to *shrug* nothing to rave about.
4. Next is the eyeshadow quad in Nymph Dreams, pretty shimmery colors. Nicely pigmented... but they do crease after a while :/
5. Next to the eyeshadow is some cream eyeliner, it's good. Nice and creamy, not clumpy or messy.
6. Now for the liquid lipstick... which is more like lip gloss if you ask me.. but it's still nice, it's a pretty color. This one is in strawberry.
7. Super glossy lip shine in candlelight... I put this on this morning, and while it does smell amazing like candy it was friggin' STICKY! ewww sticky lipgloss. But I just thinned it out with some clear gloss and things were all good.
8. Next is the facial whip in persimmon... it smells yummy too like oranges :) but... It's a bit too frosty for cheeks in my opinion so I'll use it as eyeshadow or lipgloss.
9. This is the foundation brush, I used it to put concealer under my eyes... works good.
10. Blush in flushed... I was very disappointed with this, it looked a little bit more pink on the site :/ but it's okay.
11. Also a bit disappointed, it comes off more like a bronzer... not that it's really a bad thing...
For both 10 & 11 the packaging pisses me off :I I'm usually patient but these things took me a while to get open. They do not lift open like most blush, they slide out...which is a noble idea IF IT WORKS. They always pop out and decide to fly across the room or onto the floor. VERY annoying.
12. All over face stick in toffee, I used this under my eyes, pretty good coverage.
13. Mist and set spray stuff for your makeup, it smells like dirty dish water in my opinion :/ and kind of doesn't work for me... ah well it was cheap so I got what I paid for I guess.
14. This is eyeliner in stardust, the glitter is bigger than I thought it'd be but it's not that bad.
Over all I'm used to their products, they sell them at Target and I'm seeing it in Dollar General... so I kinda knew what to expect for the most part.
Here are some items I have bought from this brand before. The eyeshadow is in Drama, I really like this one :) the white is matte which I love, but the darkest silver has huge pieces of glitter so theres a lot of glitter to wipe off afterwards.
The plumping lipgloss... doesn't really plump. The clear end just tingles like plumping lipgloss would... but I love the color of the gloss end it's baby doll.
To the side is an angled brush, total face brush, and an eyeshadow brush, very good brushes I think.
Ohhh yes I got some for their body butter in milk & honey. This stuff is like HEAVEN it smells so good, all light and delicate.
After my order from AFW comes in I'll be taking a much needed ordering hiatus. The semester is coming to an end and I'll need money for books and more supplies for my upcoming classes in January.
Though... I would buy myself a camera... this one I got years ago is just utter crap now... but I guess I'll make due. Or I'll just use my phone.
