When E.l.f. first released their matte lip colors, I didn't initially understand the hype. YouTubers and bloggers were raving about them, but when I tried them--in Natural and Tea Rose--I was thoroughly underwhelmed. They didn't look great on me, but I later realized the problem was color selection. I chose two of the palest shades … Continue reading E.l.f. Haul Update #3: E.l.f. Matte Lip Color
This post was supposed to review multiple E.l.f. products, but I've decided to devote it entirely to E.l.f.'s new line of clay eyeshadow palettes. I am so torn on this product--if I'd combined this review with other products this post would be ridiculously long. So I'll get to the Studio Blush and Undereye Setting Powder soon, … Continue reading E.l.f. Haul Update #2: Clay Eyeshadow Palette (Review)
I mentioned in a post earlier this week that I added two foundations to my recent E.l.f. Haul. Umm, make that three--I have no self-control on my quest for the perfect drugstore foundation. First I bought the Beautifully Bare Foundation Serum, which I really disliked. I have a review on that one here if you'd … Continue reading E.l.f. Haul Additions: Flawless Finish Foundation (Review)
Two weeks ago I posted my E.l.f. Haul, so this week begins the product reviews! I've had a blast trying out so many products from one of my favorite brands, and of course, I must start with the strangest-looking makeup brush I've ever seen. E.l.f. Beautifully Precise Multi-Blender Massager Brush ($12): When I saw a sneak … Continue reading E.l.f. Haul Update #1: Beautifully Precise Multi-Blender Massager Brush, Illuminating Palette, and Perfect Finish HD Powder
So last week I posted my recent E.l.f. haul, but since then, I purchased two new foundations, both very different, but highly recommended for my skin issues. After a week or two of using each, I can say that I love one, and truly despise the other like I've never despised a foundation before. With … Continue reading E.l.f. Haul Additions: Review of Beautifully Bare Foundation Serum
Rose Gold is a universally-flattering shade. It works on just about every skin tone, in every season, for any purpose. For this reason, both drugstore and high-end makeup companies have been releasing rose gold themed makeup palettes over the last year, and today, I'm putting four drugstore palettes to the test. So without further ado … Continue reading Battle of the Drugstore Rose Gold Palettes
This is a tough month for favorites. Not only have I been trying a lot of new products, but I was also traveling for about a month this summer and when I got back, I just wanted to play with all the makeup I'd left behind! So there aren't too many things I've been using … Continue reading September Favorites
I recently received a sample of the Anastasia Clear Brow Gel in my September Play! by Sephora box. First, kudos to you, Sephora, for including such a popular item in your subscription box! I was really excited to see that. I immediately knew I wanted to test it against a few other clear brow gels … Continue reading Worth the Hype? Anastasia Clear Brow Gel v. Drugstore and Affordable Options
