E.L.F. MINERAL MINERAL LIPSTICK SWATCHES PART 3

Oh how I love e.l.f.'s 50% off deals. Last week on 8/8, e.l.f. decided to have another one as part of their 8th birthday celebration. Lucky me ;] I thought I was going to wait until around the holidays to get the rest of the mineral lipstick. So I got the last 6 lipsticks to complete the collection ^__^ I'm in love with these lippies. They have this creamy texture and the pigmentation is buildable. Definitely try these out!

e.l.f. Mineral Mineral Lipstick

L-R: Bare Brown, Royal Red, Prime Plum, Rustic Brick, Natural Nymph, Beautiful Berry

E.L.F. MINERAL MINERAL LIPSTICK SWATCHES PART 2

Here's the next swatches of the 5 e.l.f. Mineral Mineral Lipstick that I recently purchased and the "Rich Raspberry" that I had gotten for free awhile back. Hopefully I'll be able to do a part 3 when I get a hold of the last 6 lippies, then that'll complete the collection :) I'm lovin' most of them so far <3

e.l.f. Mineral Mineral Lipstick
L-R: Fiery Fuchsia, Ripe Rose, Cheerful Cherry, Rosy Tan, Runway Pink, Rich Raspberry

E.L.F. MINERAL MINERAL LIPSTICK SWATCHES PART 1

Here's a quick swatch of the first 6 e.l.f. Mineral Mineral lipstick that I recently purchased. I'll also be doing swatches of each individual lipstick on my lips since there is a difference from swatching on your arm. So I'll do that when I have the time, but for now this will do ;] Next 6 will probably be posted by tomorrow.

E.L.F. HAUL

A couple of weeks ago e.l.f. had their anniversary, so everything on their website were 50% off. I've been waiting for this opportunity to get a hold of a few of their mineral lipstick since I'm in love with the only one I have in "Rich Raspberry". A few turned into 9, then my sister wanted me to order some stuff for her, so I added 2 more mineral lippies to her order since there was a couple that I really wanted to try. Now that I have 12 out of the 18 they have, I'm hoping to get the rest the next time they have another 50% off deal. Why pay the full price when you can get it half off right? Stay tuned for swatches!

E.L.F. FACEBOOK EXCLUSIVE 50% OFF SITEWIDE

I've been waiting for one of these. I love the mineral lipstick in "Rich Raspberry" they had sent me for free and been wanting to try out the rest of the shades. I know they always have some kind of deal, so I was in no rush in purchasing them right away. I wasn't about to pay full price when I could get them for 50% off! I bought 9 shades for under $30, shipping included. Not bad huh? Use code FBHALF on orders $20+ by 7/10 8am EST. Can't wait to play with them :]

I told my bf I was putting an order for 9 lipsticks. He said, "I don't even want to know how much you spent on them." lol I can be a smart shopper too!

E.L.F. MINERAL MINERAL LIPSTICK IN "RICH RASPBERRY" SWATCH

I cleaned out my makeup drawers & tossed out old products that I don't use anymore last month. I found so many products that I haven't even touched! That's why I decided to put a halt on buying makeup products and use the ones I already have. I found so many lippies I haven't used, one of them became my current favorite. This lipstick is from E.L.F.'s Mineral Mineral Lipstick in "Rich Raspberry". They sent me this lipstick awhile back, but I haven't had the time to play with it.

E.L.F. Mineral Mineral Lipstick in "Rich Raspberry"

I really love this lipstick! It goes well with a neutral eye look. I've been using it over M·A·C Cremesheen Glass in "Deelight", which I usually use with all my lipstick. The texture of that lipgloss is amazing! I'm thinking of purchasing more of this lippie in different shades, but I could wait until they have a really huge sale on their mineral line.

e.l.f. Studio Makeup Artist Brush Belt

I've had the e.l.f. brush belt for awhile now, but I felt that it was necessary to blog about it since it's in my giveaway. I decided to give this brush belt a try since it was very inexpensive and I was in need of one earlier this year. I wasn't expecting much from it since it was only $15, but when I got it, I was really surprised at how durable it was. I was expecting some flimsy type of material.

This brush belt is very convenient to have around when I have more than one client. I usually load it up with all the brushes I have, so I don't need to worry about having to use a dirty brush on the next client. And I usually load it up with extra disposable applicators since it has 4 large pockets (2 front, 2 between brush rows on each side). And I love that it's very easy to clean.

ROSS HAUL

I went to Ross a few days ago to see if they have any cute tops I could use for school, instead I came out with these:

• Simple Pleasures Nail Polish Assortments $4.99 - I saw this while standing in line and I just had to get it. Really great for nail polish and cupcake lovers or it would make a really cute gift.
• e.l.f. Mini Eyelash Curler $1.99 - I don't own a mini eyelash curler and it was the last one on the shelf, so why not buy it right? I have really short eyelashes at the corner of my eyes, which doesn't get curled with a eyelash culer, so I'm hoping this can do the job.
• Hello Kitty Cosmetic Pouch $3.00 - It was a set, but I guess someone stole the lip jelly, nail polish, press-on nails and hair clips that was suppose to come with it. Oh wells, I thought this would make a cute pouch for coins, makeup, etc...

AN ADDITION TO MY NEXT GIVEAWAY ;]

e.l.f. Studio 85-Piece Complete the Look Palette - Limited Edition

This took forever to ship! I ordered it on July 27 and didn't get it until August 12. I guess it was because of the heavy orders from their anniversary sales. One of the two palettes that I ordered was damaged during shipment. Don't worry, I wasn't planning on giving a broken palette away. I emailed E.L.F. the next day and they sent me a replacement right away. It took about 3 days for the replacement to be shipped and it was in one piece ;] I think the best way to contact E.L.F. is through email.

 The broken blush got everywhere! It was easy to dust it off from the eyeshadows, but I didn't even want to bother with the lipgloss.

The top part, near the numbers, of the swatch I used Urban Decay  Primer Potion as base and no base towards the bottom. There's a slight difference.

 The broken blush, it's such a pretty color too!

They're in the same order as the palette.

I know, I know...I've mention about my next giveaway, but honestly I don't even know when it's going to begin. I'm hoping within the next week though ;] I've ordered a few things and it still has not come in. I just want everything in my possession before I begin my giveaway so I could send it off to the winner right away.

E.L.F. HAUL ;]

I love receiving packages in the mail ;] Today, my mailman came to my door to deliver my e.l.f. haul during their 50% off Studio!

I'm pretty excited that they're here, but there are two things that I'm really bummed about though.

1. I didn't get everything I ordered since it went Out of Stock like the blush "Candid Coral" which I really wanted ;[

2. This cracked and it's probably my favorite out of the bunch. Well...not really too bummed since there's a whole lot of it and just a tiny portion is messed up.

 I got me:

3 - Matte Lip Color

2 - Lip Stain

1 - Cream Eyeliner

9 - Blush

9 - Eyeshadow

3 - Lip Balm

1 - Angled Eyeliner Brush

And a FREE Mineral Lipstick

I'm thinking of doing swatches, but I'm pretty sure there's a lot out there. But I'll think about it. I'm thinking more of doing looks with all the eyeshadows and blushes ;]
