Hi Lovess! So what have I been buying since the failure of Project 10 Pan?? Well for starters this is my most recent batch. I've actually accumulated much more withing the past 2-3 months of not posting but I don't remember what I have shown and what I have not. I started taking pictures but then I always leave a whole bunch out so I fail once again! T___T But I'll try to get all of the new stuff together. Or just start doing reviews on them haha, simple enough.

ANYWHOOO. I purchased all of these sometime last week during the memorial day weekend and the week before. You probably have noticed that some of the stuff are from the MAC To the Beach collection. I totally forgot when the collection was released so I missed out on the Marine Life Highlighter Boohooo. Oh wells. I think I'd feel that it's too pretty for me to use so I'd never use it and you all know how much makeup I have accumulating ALREADY. haha So I'm not too heartbroken about Marine Life. The rest of the stuff I got at a CCO outlet nearby (actually, like 1hour away -___-). I'm trying out a new format for my pictures now that I'm making my comeback posts haha. Let me know how you like them! :)

I do realize that I bought a lot of face make up, well face products in general so I have a while to go before I get to reviewing them all O_o. Hahah oh man, what have I gotten myself into. But it's okay, expect reviews on a few of these things. Face makeup will be slower obviously but none the less keep a look out for those :)

Till then♥

P.S. I'm going to the CCO with the BFF on friday.......uh oh... o_O

So lately I've been doing natural smokey looks with the ELF Studio eyeshadow transformer quad and the Studio eyeshadows. I'm really liking the natural look lately but I'm most definitely going to be experimenting with a more dramatic look for my birthday on Saturday :D Yay! I'm going to be turning 21, kinda hehe. :) Any color combinations or looks I should try out? :)

Anyways, I didn't post a full picture of my ELF mineral line haul but here are some swatches, the products themselves are stored away until I find a new makeup storage thing. Things are overflowing onto my study desk haha. Must clean and organize that before school starts ekk!

That's all for now. I think I'm starting to get lazy with swatches haha. I feel so dirty having so many colors on my arm. I feel like I'm making the colors commit polygamy or something. LOL That's such a weird way to put it. But yeah I have alot of the other ELF studio products that I've already purchased before back in the day when they first launched the studio line. So if you guys want swatches of those just let me know. I think by now the only thing I don't have a a selected few shades of stuff if they come in multiple shades and the mascaras and the false eyelash kit. Feel free to requests! I get brain pooped on what to post sometimes haha :D

Hello all! Here are the swatches of the ELF Studio line eyeshadows and blushes. I'm liking them ALOT. They texture is really nice (not as great as NARs per se but near that level) but don't put too much pressure on them if you're using your fingers (I did for the swatches haha) or else powder will come loose because they are not that tightly packed. But very pigmented none the less so there is no need for a heavy hand :)

I have a FOTD that I'll post up later today using a lot of the ELF studio line products. I'm very very surprised because I know a few of the products I was struggling to decide whether I should get them or not because I predicted that there would be huge chunks of glitter in it (I am a total glitterphobe) but surprisingly all of them, in stead of chunky immature glitter chunks, have gorgeous iridescent sheens to it. It's SO prettyy, especially if you combine it with a matte color :)

anyways enough of my babbling, on the the swatches!
All of the swatches are pretty true to color except for a few that I've mentioned. Enjoy!



Palette Swatches and the ELF makeup remover review coming soon! :)
Haha I'm trying to get as many posts until classes start. Then I'm effed.........once again. LOL >.<

How are your ELF hauls? :)


**EDIT: WHAT THE FRUITCAKE. LMFAO I just got an email saying my 3rd ELF order just shipped.......and I placed the order last night. It was a joint order with a few of my friends too so there's a rackload of stuff in that order. By far my biggest order haha and it only took 6+ hours to process before I recieved my shipping information?! LOL I guess ELF knows I love their products? haha I find this funny.

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. :)
