Review & Swatches - ELF Lipsticks

Hello Lovelies!!!

So today, I am doing review and swtaches for ELF lipsticks from their essential line.
Lipsticks are $1 each. There are 12 shades to choose from. I got 5 of them. When they first came out, i bought only one shade in Classy which is a nice sheer bubble pink shade. I loved it so much that when they introduce new shades, I thought i should try other colors.

According to the company:

"Indulge your lips with long lasting color and shine. The moisture rich formula hydrates, conditions and softens on contact for silky smooth lips. Instantly beautiful, healthy-looking lips designed, formulated and tested by our professional team of makeup artists."

My thoughts:

• Pricing, very affordable
• Packaging is OK, not very impressive
• Nice shades for everyday use, at least the ones i got
• Few of them broke when i first tried them on :(
• New ones are more creamy and moisturizing (Classy, first one i got was not that moisturizing)
• Not really long lasting (or maybe i just eat my  lipsticks :) )
• I would try them out again maybe in other colors (fearless which is nice Red shade)

On to individual swatches....

Not my shade, Not my favourite :(

Love this shade:)

Nude shade, a bit dark

Coral shade good for fall :)

Sooo pretty :) love this shade too...

I hope you like the review and swatches.

Disclaimer: I have not given these products by anyone or the company mentioned, I bought these with my own money. I am not being paid to do this review; this is my personal and honest opinion.

XOXO

Haul – Dollar Store Finds

Hello Lovelies!!

I was looking to get tiny elastic bands in black. First, I went to the drug store but they were a bit pricey (I believe $5 or $6) for a pack of the same bands I wanted. So I thought I should try Dollar Store, they probably would have them for a fraction of the cost. Well, I did find those but with other interesting stuff. J

There was a separate aisle for beauty related products. Not much of makeup but other beauty stuff. There were some Elf products too; like powder brushes, eye-shadow brush, mascara, clear mascara, and lip glosses (all from their $1 line). There were other Makeup products by Aziza. A whole lot of jewellery stuff, Shampoo, moisturizing lotion, and etc. So I browse through the aisle and got myself few things.

What I got:

·         Pack of elastic bands

·         Pack of bobby pins

·         One Step Nail builder by Aziza

·         Blistex Regular SPF 15 lip balm

·         And 2 bracelets

So on to the pictures….

Btw, I bought the mascara from the drug store.

Bobby Pins and Elastic bands

AZIZA care one-step nail builder

Blistex SPF 15 lip balm in Regular (there were other ones too)

Some cute Bracelets

I love this pearl bracelet (it’s not real pearlL, but oh well)

Coral bracelet

So yeah, that’s what I found at my local Dollar store. I got all this for $6 + from dollar store, not bad eh!

Extra Super Lash mascara by Rimmel London in Black (I got this from the drug Store for $6 I think)

So that’s what I found at my local dollar store. Have you found anything interesting at your local dollar store?

HAUL- ELF haul

Hello everyone!!! I I got some ELF stuff and wanted to share with you what I got. I bought all the stuff when they were having 50% off of their studio line. I took advantage of the sale as I missed their 60%off birthday sale before. ELF is very affordable brand, their products range from $1 to $6 which is not at all bad. If you missed any of their sales, don’t worry they always have some promotion going on their website? Right now they are having 50% studio with mini palette.

So here’s what I got……

I got most of the products from their studio line. The stuff in their studio line is mostly $3 but I got it for $1.50 (50% off sale!!!). Elf’s products might be cheap in price but they are definitely good quality (specially their studio line, amazinggg)

From Mineral line: Moisturizing Lip Tint SPF 8, I got it in all shades (^_^)….

From Studio line: Lip Liner & Blending Brush, I got it in Nude Pink, Pink Grapefruit, and Fuschia.

From Studio line: Matte Lip Color, I got it in all shades(^_^)(from top to bottom in order; Natural, Tea rose, praline, and coral).

From Studio line: Contour brush, angled eyeliner brush, and eyeshadow “C” brush.

From Studio line: Cream Blush in Seductress. Body Shimmer in Cosmic Coral.

From Essential line ($1): Lipstick in Captivating, Seductive, Fantasy, Charming, and Nostalgic. (From left to right)

From Essential line: Hypershine Gloss in Honey. I got this as a gift for referring three friends (^_^)…

That was my ELF haul. Reviews and swatches will be coming soon…..Let me know what you would like me to do the review of first.
