If you remember a few weeks ago, my
cute little apartment was robbed! But weirdly enough, they only took my
makeup bag! Crazy right!? All my wonderful makeup was gone. I'd say about $100 worth, just gone. I was so sad and confused...
and you could say scared out of my mind that
someone a
complete stranger was in
my house!! Well, enough about that because as I'm writing this, I am alone in my apartment, and I'm just freaking myself out... door locked, check!
Ok, so since I had no more makeup, I went to
Target and bought the cheapest, but pretty good stuff to hold me over. A friend, a few years ago, bought me a bunch of e.l.f. makeup for my birthday. I had never heard of it before, but she said it was great and a majority of the products are $1-$3 per each item. Awesome! I've been hooked ever since. I grabbed the few essentials they had there at Target, and then went online for the rest. And I found out when I registered on their
website, they sent me an email for a code to receive 10 free items if I spent $20 or more. Pretty sweet, huh?
Well, seeing that I've been really tight on money lately, and I remembered that my
Super Mom and Hard-Working Dad never got me a birthday present...hmmm. So I called Super Mom up and asked if she would be willing to spend about $30 on me, and she said yes!
Which brings me to today receiving my package in the mail!
(Sidenote - I ordered my e.l.f. products on July 29, paid $6.95 for standard 5-7 day shipping, and I finally got it today, August 12! Two weeks! That's the only downside to e.l.f. online ordering.)
1. Mineral Infused Face Primer [
buy] - I saw that the Lindsey @
The Bargain Blonde bought and
reviewed this and since she loved it, I just had to get it too. It goes on before you put on all your makeup so your makeup goes on evenly and gives you a satin finish look.
2. Pressed Powder [
buy] - I wear
foundation, but sometimes I need some extra coverage on certain areas.
3. Dramatic Lash Kit [
buy] - sometimes you just need some extra lashes!
4. Concealer Stick [
buy] - perfect for concealing blemishes while on the go.
5. All Over Cover Stick [
buy] - I swear by this stuff! It is amazing at covering up
little blemishes big pimples that you don't want seen.
6. Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder [
buy] - I've never used bronzer before, but hey, for only $1, why not?
7. Hypershine Lipgloss [
buy] - I got this as a free gift by referring 3 people to e.l.f. Thank you very much e.l.f. :)
8. Toe Separators [
buy] - I always use kleenex and toilet paper to separate my toes, so I figured it was time to step it up and buy the real deal.
10. Eye Widener [
buy] - I saw that Imogen @
Imogen Foxy Locks wears this and her eye makeup is gorgeous.
11. Smudge Eye Sponge [
buy] - to get that smokey eye look I thought this would help.
12. Blending Eye Brush [
buy] - this will help blend all the colors on your eye or can be used as a concealer brush.
13. Fan Brush [
buy] - you know how when you put eye makeup on and a bunch of it falls below your eyes, well ta-dah! This will help sweep it off your face without smudging it under your eyes!
14. Bronzing Brush [
buy] - I bought bronzer, ergo a bronzing brush.
15. 100 Eyeshadow Palette [
buy] - 100 eyeshadow colors for only $10!? I was sold!
I can't wait to use all of it!
Do you use any e.l.f. products?
Love it? Hate it?
