ELF haul #14

haha yes I am insane, yet another haul. The only reason I went witht his haul was the pressed powders and concealer stick from the studio line. I tested it out in Winners, and I feel in love with them.

I know, I know, the ELF $1 face powder sucks, but i wanna do an experiment with rubbing alcohol to make it softer. It is possible you know =). I also wanted to try their $1 quads which was a pleasant surprise!! SO PIGMENTED! (btw I got nymph's dreams, which I will review in depth later on). Everything I bought, I will review later on in depth =). So far I'm loving everything I bought except for the liquid eye liner.

OMG ELF moment; new products

Just when i thought i have all the products from ELF, they keep coming out with new stuff. WHY!! WHY ARE YOU MAKING ME PLACE ANOTHER ORDER? Its going to be like my 15th order.

These palettes remind me of the Make Up forever camouflage concealer palettes, don't they? I wonder if these concealers are any different from their All over cover sticks eh?

88 warm palette

Yet another super rav on Youtube, the 88 warm palette is the sister of 88 color palette. This one I like a whole lot better because more the 80% of the colors are usable and aren't chalky or unpigmented. This is the first palette I got out of all the other ones, so this one is quite special to me.

*Tip: Don't get it from coastal scents because plus shipping is about $30. If you get it on ebay, its just $20 included shipping and its the exact same thing.*

Each color is about the size of a Canadian dime, so about 0.5 in radius which isn't big but it is big enough to last you a long long long time. The warm palette comes with a lot of browns, grays, white, purples and a whole lot more. The finishes are matte, frosty, and metallic. When you look at the swatches, you'll notice that there aer colors that you can't see at all. This is because a lot of the lighter colors are very chalky and isn't workable =S but the shimmery/metallic colors are super pigmented.

Swatches from row left to right:

Conclusion:

-price: C-

-packaging: C

-product quality: B-

-Overall quality: B-

-Buy again? maybe, if i ever run out of any of the colors

ELF Color 101 Hypershine lip gloss set

After getting my first hypershine lip gloss in fairy, I fell in love with it. When I was reading someone's blog on their hauls, they said that these were limited edition so I couldn't move my fingers fast enough to go ahead and buy this set.

These colors are fabulous! From left to right, it comes with a baby pink (5048-2), peachy coral (5048-1) ,grape purple with a lot of glitter (5048-3), apple red with sliver glittery (5048-4), and dark grape (5048-5).
purple color.

These colors are very very nice, pigmented and aren't sticky. I'd buy these again, but I have WAYYYY too many lip glosses. Thats why i'm going to share it with my sister and mom =).

Conclusion:
-price: A+ ($5 for the whole set; $1 each lip gloss)
-packaging: A
-product quality: B+
-Overall quality: A
-Buy again? Yes =), very happy with the purchase

New Vanity Set up

Just yesterday, I felt like my room needs change...yes again. So I rearranged my vanity table/dresser drawers. I try to keep everything in order, but those stacked up organizers make is so hard =(.The wooden box I got at Ikea for $12 I believe, but that was about a year ago. Now I don't think they carry it because I have went to Ikea a few weeks again, and every time I go there, they don't have it anywhere in the store. The light up mirror I got for $24 at Marshall last year.The little brush holder and the tray is a DIY thing I did last week when I got bored. The tray originally made into a lipstick holder, but I just took out the sections. Holders are made from cardboard boxes that were laying around in my house and the delivery boxes from ELF cosmetics. If your wondering why I have a Adidas watch wrapped around my eye cream, it's because in the morning, I'm quite in a rush and I need something to keep track of the time.
