Update

Hi everyonneee. I'm sorry I haven't been posting alot lately. I have been swamped with work, summer classes and preparation for nursing exams. Summer classes have been biting me on the behind with exams after exams. But all is well none the less, I am almost done so once I am done I will get a chance to clean up my room and find my digital camera to upload some more videos, Face of the days and Reviews. Yay, :)

On another note, ELF is having their anniversary sale these past 5 weeks. I should have posted earlier coupons for you guys but this was the one that REALLY caught my eye:



I really want to, but my credit card bill should not be extended any more... :(
GAH what should I dooooo???

ELF Studio Eyeliner/Shadow Stick Review

Posted on 4:34 PM | By A.Z. | In , ,

ARGH. I had this review all typed up and ready to go, all I had to do was upload the swatch pictures and I was gooooddd :( but noo. SIGH. I will type it up again anyways beacuse I have all of the swatches anyways.

But yeah, This is a review on the ELF Studio Eyeliner and Shadow Stick. This is a duo product, so it saves alot of room and is basically saves you the hassle of packing a separate shadow and eyeliner. ELF is an EXTREMELY cheapie brand, the majority of their products cost $1.00. I kid you not ONE DOLLAR. But this was from their studio line so it was $3...yes THREE DOLLARS. That's still pretty dirt cheap. There was a sale a while back for 50% all studio products and I went crazy. There was also this free shipping thing and yeah let's just say my credit card bills are in pain.

This product comes in 4 different shades
  • Black/Smoke
  • Brown/Basic
  • White/Pearl
  • Green/Moss
The names say it all, well, except for basic. It's a pretty light colored brown, kind of bronzy-ish. Here are the swatches

Yeap, They're pretty pigmented. I did however try to use these as a base (the black specifically) and it lasted pretty well before creasing. Because I have oily ass eyelids, cream based cosmetics tend to smudge faster on my eyes without my Urban Decay Primer potion. With Revlon Illuminance cream shadows they smudge 1-1 1/2 hours later, NYX Jumbo eyeshadow pencils begin the smudging process 30-45mins later (yes I do time them, haha). These lasted about 2-3 hours. So for people withough oilmines on their eyelids, the shadow stick part would work very well as a base. Oilies though, you might just wanna stick with UDPP as a base and if you really want you can put the shadow stick ontop of that.
The liner. Oh mann, on my top lids, because I have hooded eyelids, the smudged so fast I thought it was the base. But it was the eyeliner. But on the bottom, it was okay. Not the best lasting power, but not the worst. Started smudging after 2-3 hours. So yeah.
Overall this is an okay product for the price of $1.50. But not enough to wow me enough for me to repurchase. :)
Project 10 Pan update

YAYYYY!!! 1 out of 10 products! Geebuz that took forever. But yeah I was bad only once and bought a whole shietload of makeup ONCE ONCEEEE! Will post pictures up in the future when I slowly start using the products. The product that I used up was my Makeup Remover, Lancome's Bifacil. No, I will not repurchas this anymore because I've already found my HG eye makeup remover, which is baby oil! Seriously, this takes off more waterproof mascara than the bifacil, sure it does feel oily but you're supposed to wash your face afterwards, but if you use a cotton pad to wipe it off, it's perfectly fine AND you see how much makeup you took off. So yeah, that's my Project 10 Pan update :)
