E.L.F. Haul

Hi everyone my name is Jenna and I am an E.L.F.aholic.  Seriously I am obsessed!!  I want EVERYTHING!!  So, I forget if I mentioned this or not but I'm catholic and this year for lent one of the things I gave up was buying unnecessary cosmetics.  Well I decided that I did infact need a concealer brush.  I thought that I'd just get one from E.L.F. b/c the one I wanted from there was only $3!  Can't beat that!  Well.......   I went onto eyeslipsface.com to look at their brushes when I discovered they had a promotion that I could get the whole 11-Piece Studio Brush Set that retails for $30 for just $3!!!!!   WHAT!?!  I couldn't pass that up!  However, there was a catch and you had to spend $25 first before you could get the deal.  So long story short my one concealer brush that I needed turned into this...

I was BAD!  REALLY BAD!  
Sigh... Hopefully God forgives me.  Anyways here's what all I got:

• 11-Piece Studio Brush Set (Normally $30 - I got it for $3)
• Studio 32 Piece Eyeshadow Palette (Normally $10 - I got it for $5)
• Essential Travel Mirror ($1)
• Essential Shine Eraser Blotting Papers 50 pk ($1)
• Essential Dramatic Lash Kit - Black ($1)
• Duo Eyeshadow Cream ($1 each)
• Eggplant (green and purple)
• Mocha Swirl (light pink and dark brown)
• Conditioning Lip Balm SPF 15 ($3 each)
• Mellow Melon
• Blissful Berry
• Romantic Rouge
• Blush and Bronzer Set - Blush, Bronzer and Mini Kabuki Brush ($3)
• Eyelash kit - Eyelashes, tweezers, glue, and eyelash curler ($3)

 Studio 32 Piece Eyeshadow Palette - Cool 

I was so so so happy with this order until I saw the condition of my 11-Piece Studio Brush Set bag...

I mean is it just me or does that bag looked used??  It resembles other bags that I have that have been handled repeatedly by people that have makeup on their hands...  I don't know.  The inside is in perfect condition, the brushes are fabulous but the bag.. ugh.. I emailed costumer service at eyeslipsface.com to let them know my disappointment in it.  I'm not TOO upset b/c I only spent $3 for it but I just find it weird that a brand new bag came in that condition. 

If you haven't checked out eyeslipsface.com you need to!  I know they also sell their products at Target and KMart but I enjoy getting them on their actual website b/c if you sign up for their newsletters they have SOOOO many great deals like the brush set.  Also don't be afraid of the quality with their low prices.  I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with just how fab their products really are! 

Have a great week everyone!

March Birchbox (Teen Vogue Special Edition)

This month Birchbox gave its members the choice to choose between their regular monthly Birchbox or to receive a special edition Teen Vogue box.  When I first heard about it I wasn't interested since I'm 26 and obviously no longer a teen.  THEN I got an email and it mentioned Essie and I was sold lol.  I'm a sucker for nail polish!  I am so glad I didn't pass up this box b/c seriously IT IS AMAZING!

This box is seriously so fantastic!!  It came with not one but TWO full sized products!! 

In my box I got:
Tarte natural lip stain in the color Amused. (hot pink) Full-size
Essie Luxeffects Nail Polish in Set in Stones (silver chunky glitter)  Full -size
Kate Spade New York Twirl
Twistband Hair Tie (yellow)
Kerastase Elixir Ultime

I'm pretty much tickled to death about everything in this box!  I'll honestly use every single thing which makes me soooo happy b/c I was sooo disappointed in my box last month! 

Here are some close-ups of the Tarte and Essie:
