My last online shopping package of the summer finally came in!
One of my most favorite makeup brands is Eyes Lips Face (e.l.f.). I love them because they're cheap, affordable and mostly very high quality items.
Anyways, they were having a 50% off sale last week and I couldn't help but get myself a number of products before school starts! So lets get started.
Note: many of these products are repurchases so I can actually review them for you guys!
Signature Makeup Bag - $8
I saw this bag online and it had a bunch of good reviews so I really wanted it! I'm happy with it so far, it holds a lot of makeup (pretty much all of my daily essentials) and it has a separate compartment to hold your brushes. I really like the feel of the faux leather and it doesn't have an annoying plastic scent.
Only thing I'm not happy with: I selected the bag in pink, but they gave me silver instead. I would usually return it, but I only have 3 days at home and I don't want to go through all of that hassle.
Cream Eyeliner in Black - $3 each
This is a repurchase. I absolutely LOVE this eyeliner. It's probably the best potted eyeliner I've ever used and it's the only one I use on the daily. I currently have one pot, but I'm almost done with that one so I repurchased 2 more to stock up. They also added more product to the pots, so I am very happy right now!
Note: Do not use the brush it comes with, just buy another eyeliner brush.
Flawless Finish Foundation in Porcelain - $3 each
This, here, is another repurchase. I usually shy away from e.l.f.'s skin/complexion products since I've had some pretty bad experiences with a few items, but I always go back to this foundation. I love it. It matches my skin perfectly in the fall/winter/spring and it really does leave a flawless finish if you prime your face and then use a loose powder. The consistency is just perfect -- not too thick but it's not watery, either -- and the coverage is pretty full. I also really love the smell of it.
Note: the amount of product in the container is kind of disappointing. But for $3, I really shouldn't be complaining.
Concealer Pencil & Brush in Fair - $3
I decided to get this because there were some pretty good reviews and it was 50% off. I haven't use it yet, but the pencil part comes off very thick and creamy (what you expect from a concealer) and the brush end is super dense -- which I really like! I can't wait to use this.
Small Tapered Brush - $3
I bought this to use for contouring under my cheekbones. The size is perfect and, like all other e.l.f. brushes, the bristles are super soft!
Flawless Concealer Brush - $3
I actually didn't buy this (maybe it was to make up for sending me the wrong color makeup bag?). But I'm sure I can put it to some use! It's a bit big and not dense enough to use with concealer, but I am thinking of using it for highlighting under my eyes and the bridge of my nose.
Professional Tweezers - $1
These tweezers had superb reviews and it was only $1, so I decided why not. Plus, I lost my old pair. These feel really good in my hands, but the tip is not as fine or pointed, so it might not be able to grab the stubborn small hairs.
Mineral Lipstick in (left to right) Nicely Nude, Cool Coral and Royal Red - $3 each
e.l.f.'s Mineral Lipsticks have always gotten great reviews. I have one that I got as a gift in Party Pink and I REALLY love it! The texture and consistency is great and it lasts almost all night. The color is super pigmented too. Because of the 50% off sale, I decided to get three of the most popular colors (these three). I really can't wait to try them out! Although, Royal Red isn't as red as I thought it would be.
