Play Beautifully with Elf Cosmetics #ElfBeautySquad

Prism EyeShadow Palette – Sunset  $10

ooooh ahhh

This is without primer. I’m new to doing swatches , perhaps I should do with & without primer. These colors are pretty pigmented but I do have to mix them with other colors. I don’t think I could pull off just these colors because I am so pale the veins are the colors of these purples and lets just say I looked like I was up for days when I just applied one color haha. These shades are really pretty. I can see myself really using the middle 2 a lot.

Illuminating Palette $6

4 shades to mix & match for a custom radiance that captures, diffuses, & softens the way skin reflects on your skin.
Infused with vitamin E & Argan Oil to nourish & hydrates the skin.

Use on your eyelids, cheekbones, or other areas you want to illuminate.

Moisturizing Lipstick- Marsala Blush $3

Excuse my goosebumps.

This lipstick is enriches with shea and vitamins A, C, & E to nourish & hydrate your lips.
This formula is so rich & creamy it just glides on your lips. Plus it stays on for a long time & keeps lips smooth & hydrated while wearing. I love this color , it enhances my natural lip.

Precision Liquid Eyeliner  $3

Pigmented rich color that glides on smoothly. The tapered brush helps create bold or thin lines and easy to control.

This does make it a little easier to apply, goes on easy.

On the Spot Blot- mattifying blotting papers $5

These papers are infused with translucent powder to help mattify the skin and absorb oil without disturbing you make up. Nobody wants that! Especially when you spend time to do it. It comes with a mirror so you don’t have to worry about smudging lipstick or liner. It comes with a cute little puff that has a sticky adhesive that you grab the papers with.

Haven’t used these too much but they did help absorb without messing up or smudging my make up.

Lip color remover $3

I know many make up enthusiasts get excited when we get a new lipstick. We want to try it on right away. Sometimes it stains or lips or the color doesn’t come off right away if its long wearing. Well that is no more. This formula gently breaks downs & removes the color. All you do it apply a small amount to your finger and apply evenly over lips. I like to use circular motions ( not needed). Leave on for about 3 seconds and then remove. Its infused with aloe & jojoba to help soothe & hydrate lips. So if you you want to swatch a few lip colors, or just get off a long wearing lipstick, this is for you.

I was surprised how well it takes of lipstick. Plus it leaves lips soft.

Shadow lock eyelid primer $2

Preps eyelids for a smoother, long lasting crease proof eyeshadow. I picked this up at the Dollar Tree ( make sure to check the make up section). Its a champagne like color that helps eye shadow stay on longer. Its crease proof, goes on smooth, & is light weight. Definitely recommend this

 

I received these products for free ( unless stated) from E.l.f cosmetics , all opinions are my own.

Have you joined the Elf Cosmetics #PlayBeautifully Challenge yet?

Do you know about E.L.F ( eyes lips face) cosmetics?
You should, their products skincare, make up, & tools are super affordable and are actually really good.
The best part is they are becoming more popular, which means they are available at more stores like Target & CVS.

If you love make up you should follow them on instagram because they have #playbeautifully challenges that you can participate in. You could win $100 gift card or/and be featured on their page.

Recently I received a handful of goodies from their line and I’ve been loving them.

Everyday Smoky Eye Shadow Palette $10
Yes that’s right only $10!

You can achieve a bold or subtle look with this palette. Some people have even been comparing it to the Urban Decay Naked palette.
You do have to build up the color with a few of these shadows & they blend nicely. Some of the shimmery shadows do flake a little. Great for day or night.
Perfect for shading, highlighting, & defining the eyes.
I like that it is thin and small with a mirror so its easy to travel with.

(I’m so pale, the lighter shades barely show up on my arm haha)

I really like the middle colors in the palette, so pretty. The shimmery browns are perfect for any look.

You can apply dry for a subtle look or wet for a more bold vibrant effect.
Choose a light color to apply over the eyelid as a base or to highlight.

Next apply a medium shade over the eyelid or in the crease to contour.

Then apply the darkest shade to define and line the eye for depth and a smoky look.

Have fun mix and match!

Blush: Berry Merry $3

Loved this color, it has a slight shimmer that gives you a healthy glow.
Nice pigment that can built up for a more dramatic look.

I’m wearing a little bit of everything mentioned ( lipstick, eye shadow, blush)

Lip Exfoliator – clear $3
( there is also cherry & mint)

This gently exfoliates lips to remove dry chapped skin with a sugary sweet mix.
It is infused with vitamin E, shea butter, avocado, grape & jojoba oil to nourish & protect.

Apply to clean damp lips and massage in circular motions to exfoliate. Use a damp cotton ball to gently remove scrub. Apply lip balm afterwards.

It smells fantastic when you use it and your lips look & feel good afterwards. Great for the colder months…and perfect stocking stuffer!
I just want to smell this all day.

Moisturizing Lipstick in bordeux beauty $3

I wasn’t sure about this color but it is a great color for Fall. When I applied it to my surprise I really liked it. Its a little vampy but not to bold….maybe a vamp-lite lol
Goes on smooth, great pigment, creamy, nice shine.
Enriched with shea butter, vitamins A,C, E to noutish & hydrate the lips.
Make sure to wear a lip liner and your lips are exfoliated before wearing for best results.

Crease Brush $3

Has a tapered tip great for contouring and to add depth & definition. The brush is soft on skin.
I thought it was a tad big for me but it still works great.

If you are on a budget ( or not) ELF has so many products to choose from….even skincare. They are worth trying because the price is so great. With the holidays coming up , they make great stocking stuffers. You can even put together a cute basket for the make up fanatic in your life.
