Hello everyone! I apologize I haven't been blogging on a regular basis lately. After moving, I really just had no motivation. I hadn't blogged in so long (or so it feels), I forgot how much I enjoyed it. Also, my *new phone is a cheaper alternative to my galaxy, which in terms, means it's much slower ::sigh::. I promise, after the holidays I will have internet on and I will be posting on the regular again!
Now that I got that long intro out of the way, let's get to the fun stuff!
**I still have yet to find a place to take pictures, so the scene in the next few posts may change. For now, I'm using my vanity. Also, the lighting is poor, until I find the right bulbs!

This month ia a holiday theme, of ocourse!
Have a Happy Holidy Glow!
"Happy holidays elfettes! Sparkle at any celebration with our Essential Glitter Nail Polish and Mineral Glow. Indulge in the rich shades of our Studio Matte Lip Color and our Studio Blush Palette that features four winter-perfect shades! It's time to celebrate the end of another beautiful year, and a beautiful one to come!"
First in this months bundle is the Studio Prism Eyeshado in Smoke. This palette retails for $10, almost half the price of the box! I forgot to take pictures of swatches, but the pigmentation is so gorgeous!
The next thing I received was the Shimmer Eyeliner Pencil in Black Bandit. Although the color says black, in person I couldn't help but think that it looks brown. Oh well, I'm not complaining!
The last product I got was the Cream Eyeliner Black. So far this was the only product I've tried and let me say, this is true to it's name. Sooo creamy and soo black!
This is the second time I recieved false lashes in my bundle. I don't wear false lashes and I don't have any friends or family that do, so unfortunetly these will be tossed. These are the Essential Dramatic Lash kit and even though they only retail for $1, I still would have preferred something else. But I guess they do fit the theme.
The Glitter Nail Polish is another dud for me. I don't wear nail polish, hardly ever and when I do, I typically stray away from anything with chunky glitter. Thankfully though, I have a sister who loves it!
For lippies, these were definitely a hit for me! I've been wanting to try their Matte Lip Color, especially the one in Rich Red, which is what I got! However though, when I swatched it on my hand, the color was more pink than red. But still beautiful none the less!
The other lip product is the Studio Lip Stain. I found these to be interesting because as you can see, it has two ends. The first being shown, the lip stain and the other side being the gloss. Be warned though, these do not smell good. At all. But on the plus side, the smell does go away after being applied.
One thing I really love from e.l.f are their Studio Brushes. They are not the greatest quality, but for someone just starting with either makeup or getting a feel for brushes, these are a great start. This one here is the Studio Complextion brush. The bristles are sooo soft on the skin and very easy to use.
The powder is from e.l.f's Mineral line, featuring their Mineral Glow powder in Shimmer. This powder is sheer and lightly pigmented that is supposed to leave your skin healthy and radiant. I definitely can't wait to try this out!
The last product I recieved in this months beauty bundle is the Blush Palette in Dark. I actually already own this and the light, but considering the fact I love them so much, I am completely okay with a back up! I tried getting a good view in the first picture but the colors were off. The second picture is more true to what the colors actually are. The cool part about these palettes though, each individual square pops out so you can interchange them between this and the light. I hope they come out with more palettes for this reason!
All in all, I was very pleased with this months bundle. I did have plans on cancelling my subscription after this month, but I think I may actually wait! Thank you guys so much for reading, I hope you enjoyed!
Have you tried anything from e.l.f?
What are your favorite products? !
Oh wow I am jealous! These look great. Really liking your lipstick! The only thing of elf's I have is some of their makeup brushes and eyelash curler, which I can't complain about either. I bought their fake eyelashes (at $1 a piece, I couldn't resist), however I cannot for the life of me put them on! So I guess it's just layers of mascara for me! haha. I was so happy to see a post from you, I really missed them :)
ReplyDeleteI love e.l.f because they are so cheap! I just started getting into brushes, and e.l.f are my favorite until I'm able to buy more quality ones! I've never tried false lashes, I'm always afraid I'll get glue in my eyes lol and thank you! It feels to good to have a real post up, I've missed yours as well! 😊
DeleteYou got some great stuff!!! That's awesome you got another blush palette and the eyeshadow palette looks pretty!! I kind of want to subscribe to this box now haha!
ReplyDeleteI was so excited about the blush and eyeshadow palette lol and you definitely should give it a try! The only bummer is that it is every other month, but it's really not that bad!
