Updated Elf Winter 6 Piece Eyeshadow Set: Review & Swatches

If you've found yourself wondering the aisles of your local Walgreens recently, you've probably spied a ginormous display of Elf Cosmetic winter goodies. It ranges from a few item sets, to bazillion. Most are rather scary, and unapproachable, but this 6 Piece Eyeshadow Set seem to fit the bill. Especially at $3 a pop, and my recent good luck with the Halloween collection I figured why not?

Elf Disney Villians Evil Queen Look Box: Review & Swatches

More Halloween fun for you all! Apparently e.l.f. (Eyes Lips Face) had a collaboration with Disney Villains last year (which I totally missed), and they have done it again. Apparently there were only 3 villains last year- Evil Queen, Cruella de Vil, and Maleficent- but this year they added Ursula. My favorite is the Maleficent, but today we're going over the Evil Queen Look Book. Each of the 4 Look Books come with a multitude of cosmetics, and retails for $9.99 at Walgreens. Luckily I got it when it was on sale for $7.50, score!

e.l.f. Cream Liners: Review & Swatches

 Cream/gel liners are one of those staples that all gals should have (in my opinion). Of course you need your everyday shades such as the blacks/browns/greys, but sometimes you need a little splash of color.  Here comes in these little lovelies, the e.l.f. Cream Eyeliners. At $3 a pop, you can get nearly whatever color you want, including the basics (11 shades currently).

e.l.f. Kohl Liner: Rievew & Swatches

I received another code e-mail from e.l.f., and it occurred to me that I never reviewed the last few items from my haul. So I figure that I should start on that, beginning with the Kohl Eyeliner.  This is another one of their $3 offerings that you can get here.  As it is a kohl liner, it's meant to be smudgeable (and to assist this task has a smudger brush on one end).  It also conveniently comes with a sharpener lid, which is a feature I've always enjoyed especially since this liner is a jumbo size and would not fit in a normal sharpener.

e.l.f. HD Blush: Review and Swatches

Encore and Diva

Next on the elf haul list are the e.l.f. HD Blushes.  I was excited since I'm sorta big on HD blushes, and a cheaper alternative is always a plus.  I decided to get some of the brighter shades to see how the pigmentation holds up to the more established MUFE HD blushes.  I got Diva and Encore.  Unfortunately there are only 5 shades to choose from in this line (hope they have a wider range in the future).  It can be bought from elf directly or from certain Target stores for $3.

e.l.f. Studio Mascara and Shadow Shield Review

Another item among the e.l.f. booty I bought is the Studio Mascara and Shadow Shield.  Granted, this just might be one of the most un-sexy items I might ever review, but it was MUCH needed.  I have stubborn eyelashes on my left eye that curls onto itself and I have the hardest time putting on mascara without globbing  half of it onto my eyelid as well.  I've been meaning to get one of these and with the sale going on, I took it as an omen to buy it.  You can buy this at certain Targets and from e.l.f. directly.  It costs $3.

Elf Cosmetics Preview

I thought I would show you a preview of the products I recently got from elf Cosmetics.  I couldn't pass up the opportunity of 50% studio products.  That's one of the great things about elf Cosmetics, they ALWAYS have codes.  You can sign up for their email and get the new codes, but be prepared to have a BUNCH of emails spamming your inbox if you do.  Currently they have another 50% code if you enter FAVES, and it's valid until 11/5/12.  Look forward to seeing the review of the products over the next few days-weeks.  I'll trickle them out.
