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)
• Dramatic Lash kit - Eyelashes and glue ($1)

 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!

E.L.F. Conditioning Lip Balm

In my last post I mentioned a new to me brand MAD Skincare, well today I have another new to me brand to brag about and it is E.L.F. which stands for EyesLipsFace.  I've heard many bloggers going on and on about ELF products lately so I knew it was something that I would have to check out. 

Last week E.L.F. was running a special on their website.  I believe the special was buy $14.50 worth of products and get free shipping.   What's great about that is that most of ELF's products are priced at $1, $3, or $5!  You cannot beat that!  So I thought this would be a great time to buy a few things, test them out and see how I like them. 

Most of the things I've tried so far have been great and well worth the money that I spent.  Today I'm going to brag about just one of them tho that I feel really went above and beyond what I could have imagined.

E.L.F. Conditioning Lip Balm SPF 15 in the color Nice & Natural

The picture is really true to color.  Its really nicely pigmented and give just a slight touch of pink to your lips for that nice natural look.  (Hence the name Nice & Natural lol).  I love love love love love this lip balm!  Seriously it is fantastic!  You know what else is fantastic?  This bad boy only cost me $3!!  

I put myself on a no buy for the duration on lent b/c I just have far too many cosmetics at the moment and am spending far too much money overall but as soon as lent is up I'm going to be buying the rest of the shades of this lip balm b/c its just a must have in my opinion!  

Seriously you guys have got to buy this stuff pronto!   It can be purchased online at eyeslipsface.com or I believe they are also sold at Target and Kmart!
