ELF tone correcting concealer vs MAC moisture blend

When I first got the tone correcting concealer, immediately I thought it looked like a dupe for MAC's moisture blend. And it really is a good dupe for the MAC's moisture blend. The packaging is the same, comes with the doe foot applicator and the size is the same. I don't' know how much product the ELF one comes with but MAC comes with 5 mL.
They both have a liquidity formula and is very light weight. I know a lot of people don't like the ELF one because they can't find the right shade, but luckily for me Light Beige is the perfect color for a NC20-25. The color is a way better color match then my MAC one. In my opinion, I'd buy the ELF one any day. Compared to $1 or $20 bucks, which one would you pick?
As you can see, the MAC one is wayyy more orange (just noticed that its NW20...and I'm a NC, argh) then the ELF one. Frinking love the ELF one wayyyy more. Both of them are non-drying and are easy to blend. Thumbs up ^^

ELF nail polish

Dayum...I love these nail polishes. They're only a buck each and the colors are GORGEOUS! LOVE LOVE LOVE THESE. I think I might collect all of them.

ELF company claim: "This color-lock formula with chip resistant shield gives long lasting nail color with high shine. The aerodynamic bristle design glides color on flawlessly, while the quick dry formula gives perfect application every time. Key nutrients give nails that natural shine, infused with Vitamin E for stronger, healthier nails. Our formula is FREE of: Toluene, Formaldehyde, and Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP). "

Most of the nail polish names do match the colors, so props to that.

I only have 12 of them right now. Sad I know but i can't really use nail polish in my upcoming culinary arts program because its a health hazard. :'( But i can use them for my toes =).

The only down fall about these are they aren't as good as OPI or essie nail polishes and only last about 3-5 days. If you have a good base coat and top coat, they can survive about 4-7 days max. But for me, all is forgiven for the fact that it doesn't smell toxic, are only a buck each and have fabulous colors

The only problem I have with these are the lids. A lot of them when you twist, the lid doesn't always match to the bottle.

Definition of my description:
Flat finish: no shimmer, no glitter, no nothing. Just a flat color with a shiny finish.
Sheen: contains fine shimmers causing a nice sheen when the light hits.
Desert Haze (creamy nudeish color with the light grey/brown twist; no shimmer->flat)-top fav. COLOR!! The picture doesn't do the beautiful color any justice. =(
Mint cream (pastel light mint cream color; no shimmers->flat color)- This one I was most excited but most dissapointed too. The color is really nice and very trendy right now with thee fashion world, but mine came with a messed up bristle, making it impossible to be not streaky.

Chocolate (dark chocolate broown color;->flat color)- This really surprised me. Although this does make me think of poop color, all you need is one coat for the true color to be revealed. This is also a nice alternative to black. =)
Dark Navy (dark royal navy color; sheen)- Really nice color even though I'm not really into dark colors. Do like this color a lot.
Mod Mauve (Berry mauvey color; flat)- This also is another color I love. The perfect mixer of a darkish color with that little twist.

Champagne (Light peachy color with silver shimmers; sheen finish)

Bubblegum Pink (Barbie neon pink; flat finish)
Passion Pink ( Neon pinkish orange; flat finish)- Kinda reminds be of the 80's XD. Burgundy (Burgundy color with a golden sheen; sheen finish)- This one reminds me a lot of chinese lanterns and red pockets. Its the perfect shade of burgundy (its not a red though) with the beautiful hint of golden sheen.
Fire Coral (neon orange; flat finish)Coral (more pink color with hint of golden then a coral; sheen finish)
My babies on my shelve stacked nicely on my DIY nail polish stand. Looks like girl's eye candy with all those beautiful colors. =3

ELF shimmer eyeliner pencil

Automatically when these came out not too long ago, I was totally attracted to them. The beautiful colors and its only a buck? Why not...so I got 5 of them. They all come with a built in pencil sharpener on the lids, but the lids are basically useless because they come off all the time.

ELF company claim: "Instantly brighten eyes with e.l.f.’s shimmering metallic liners that put the spotlight on eyes. The smooth formulation glides on effortlessly without tugging at the delicate eye area. Choose from an assortment of 9 delicious and essential shades designed to add depth, definition and a special sparkle to create a very glamorous look! Pencil includes a convenient sharpener cap for easy use!"

NOT TIGHT ENOUGH!! ELF FIX IT! Love this product but hate the lids. Also they don't have a printed name or any sorta sticker on each of them so i basically don't know the names. Twinkle TealGrassy Green
Precious Pink

Blissful Blush
Gunmetal
Although I do really love these because they are creamy and pigmented, the staying power isn't that good. They sorta do work on the waterline though. If I really wanna use it on my lids, I'd either set it with powder or just use it as a color base. Either way, these are a good buy.

88 color palette

Yet another thing I was introduced by Youtube. This comes with 88 colors with a mixture of shimmery, frosty and matte colors. Most people buy from coastal scents, but I bought mine on ebay. It is the exact same thing, just it doesn't have the printed label on the packaging.I had the impression that the palette would be much bigger, so it was surprising to me that this is actually quite small. Each eyeshadow is the size of a CDN dime (around 0.5 cm in diameter). The palette comes with a nice quality mirror and two sponge tip applicator but those I threw away.

As you can see here, the palette is a lot smaller then a regular sized paper.

Swatches from the left to right, top to bottom.

A lot of the lighter colors are not pigmented and are very hard to the touch. Most of the shimmery and frosty color are the most pigmented. So whether if this worth almost $30 from coastal scents or $20 (both included shipping), that would be your choice.

Make up forever 12 flash color case

I have been eyeing this pallette for a while now because of the beautiful bright colors and the pure white. I had always longed for the Nyx jumbo eye pencil in Milk, but sadly we never have it here in Canada even though there is a small selection of NYX products in Save on food. This palette consists of 12 regular flash colors: Gold 004 (metallic gold), Coral 002 (vibrant coral), Turquoise 000 (light turquoise), Fuchsia 005 (bright fuchsia pink), Yellow 013 (vibrant yellow), Brown 023 (dark brown), Silver 003 (metallic silver), White 010 (pure white), Red 017 (bright red), Bright Blue 014 (bright royal blue), Leaf Green 008 (bright green), and Black 011 (pure black).
Not to scare you or anything, but the price tag for this product is pretty...WOW! If you buy each color seperatly, it would cost you $216 but if you buy this palette all together, it would only be $95. 95 bucks for this product? Is it really really worth the money? Haha dont' worry, I bought this at IMATS Vancouver so it was only $65. I do have to say though that....THIS WAS WELL WORTH EVERY PENNY!

Bottom Row

All of the colors are very creamy but the white is so creamy, that I seriously only need to use the littlest amount to get the effect I want. You can use each color soley or mix them together to get new colors just like painting. Not only are these good as color bases for eyeshadow, but you can also use them as cheek stains or on your lips too. Heres an example of mixing color.
Plum color=Red + Bright Blue and the Bright Yellow= Coral and yellow

Lets do an experiment--> an idea from my wall of inspiration.

I'll call this..."Sunset Eyes".

If that's not bright, I don't know what is.

AND drum roll plz......

If I didn't use the MUFE flash color, I swear nothing can be as bright as this. Btw I used the red and a little bit of coral for this eye look. Absolutely AWESOME!
