E.L.F High Definition Under Eye Setting Powder


E.L.F High Definition Under Eye Setting Powder

Camouflages fine line, dark circles and imperfections

Color – Sheer $3.00


This powder is so amazing. Its super soft and milled extra fine. It makes my under eye area baby soft and very bright! I love is for setting concealer and highlighting in the triangle area. It is really inexpensive but I feel like I am going to run out quickly because it is so small, but you really don’t need very much so I might last pretty long. The small brush it comes with is not very good with the powder. I usually use a fluffy eye shadow brush with the powder but the small brush is really dense and great for eye liner!

E.L.F Goodies Part 2!


E.L.F Goodies Part 2!

Brushes

Eye Crease Brush $1.00
Super small and dense! Love it for underneath my lash line and placing small amounts of shadow. Would probably be great for small concealing spots also.













Small Angled Brush $3.00. I use this for my eye brows or eye liner. Just a great synthetic brush.




Powder Brush $3.00

The infamous powder brush from elf! Amazing for liquid foundation and powder foundations!

I bought one of these last year at this time it has finally broken so I ordered a new one and they have changed a little. The new one is a little shorter and the bristles are mush softer.







 (The picture comparing the two, the longer one is the older one and the entire bundle of hairs has completely come out of the brush that’s why it looks so funny, I pushed them back down.) 

Top - new one
Bottom - old one from last year

E.L.F Goodies Part 1!


E.L.F Goodies Part 1!


Waterproof Eyeliner Pen Black
Not the best eyeliner pen ever, it seems like it is dried up. It still applies color but you have to go over it multiple times. Good for only $1.00. :]














Foundation Brush Essentials line.
Not good for foundation but I love these for applying my face masks! Only $1.00 and amazing uses for them.














Eyelid Primer
I love this! I really don’t have super oily lids but it defiantly makes a difference in my shadows! They last much longer and do not crease for hours! :]





Luscious Liquid Lipstick (Baby Lips)
More like a lip gloss! Not a lot of color but it lasts surprising long for only costing $1.00. Even after about 3 hours my lips are glossy and shiny and silky feeling! :]

















I bought everything online from eyeslipsface.com :]

Vaseline Total Moisture Body Lotion


Vaseline Total Moisture

Clean feeling lotion for healthy soft skin
Pure oat extract + stratys 3
Multi-layer moisture

Before I was just using baby lotion for my daily body lotion because it seemed to be working well for my skin. The past few weeks my skin had seemed very dry so I decided to try something else. I picked this up at Rite Aid and it was about 4 dollars for the 10 oz. size. I started using it and it really seemed to be working much better than the baby lotion. I noticed that if I shower and apply the lotion, then apply more the morning after it kind of feels waxy and thick. So I would recommend showering between applications.  I think it works pretty well but I wouldn’t say it is the most amazing body moisturizer ever. I would give it 3 out of 5 stars.

Vaseline Total Moisture line has 3 levels of moisture aloe fresh, total moisture, and cocoa radiant. This specific lotion is the medium one, total moisture. You can read more on the back of the bottle.

Dead Sea Minerals Facial Mask


Freeman Feeling beautiful Facial Mask
Anti-Stress Mask
Dead Sea Minerals
Purifies & Clear Pores
6 fl. oz.

This is a clay mask. It is semi cooling on the face, and leaves my skin feeling extra smooth. It does feel like it is cleaning my pores but it didn’t do much for black heads. It dries to a matte blue and is stiff feeling. I leave mine on for about 10-15 minutes. I also cleansed and exfoliated before the mask so it goes even deeper. It leaves my skin feeling relaxed and soothed. I over all really love this mask. It is a bright blue color. I have tried other freeman masks and have loved all of the ones I have tried and they are very inexpensive. Around 3-4 dollars at most drug stores.

Inexpensive Top Coat (Nail Polish)


Inexpensive Top Coat (Nail Polish)

Sally Hansen Double Duty Strengthening Base & Top Coat

Strong, Shiny, Chip-resistant nails!

Patented formula with Nylon & Pro-Vitamin B5

This claims to be a base and top coat. I have not tried this as a base coat because I do not think the shiny base coats hold the nail polish any better than my natural nail bed. But for a top coat this is quite good. It dries and it very hard, it’s not tacky or gel like. It’s just rock hard. It is very shiny but I have seen better top coats if you’re looking for just shine. Over all I am quit pleased with this product. I got mine at Rite-Aid for about 5 dollars and I think it is worth the price. The brush is a rectangle shape which I like for painting it on. It isn’t that fast at drying but once it is dry it is rock solid. Here are some pictures.

Maybelline Dream Matte Powder


Maybelline Dream Matte Powder

BEST FOUNDATION POWDER FROM THE DRUG STORE I HAVE EVER USED!!!

The powder foundation is so perfect. It makes my skin look like my skin but just more beautiful! Its not powdery it has never caked up on me!
It’s about 7 dollars at most drug stores.
My color is in Sand Medium 0-1
It comes with a mirror and a powder puff that twist out from the bottom.
I can use this with foundation to set it or alone for a lighter coverage.

I absolutely love it and would recommend it to just about anyone. I was looking into the MAC MSF Natural for a foundation powder and was recommended to try this instead and they are said to be similar. I would love to know your opinion if you have tried the MAC one.

Maybelline Dream Fresh 3-in-1 Beauty Balm Skin Perfector


Maybelline Dream Fresh 3-in-1 Beauty Balm Skin Perfector


BB Crème

Spf 30

Light Sheer Tint

Claims to:
Blurs imperfections
Enhances
Brightens
Adjusts to skin tone
Smoothes
Hydrates
SPF 30 Protects
0% Oils and other heavy ingredients



I really love this stuff. I have healed all my acne up and have pretty clear skin now. I also have a normal skin type. This isn’t full cover by any means but I am sure it could be built up to at lease medium coverage. It is very light and silky smooth feeling. It feels just like a moisturizer on my skin. It is a dewy bb crème so if you are oily skin type or don’t like the shiny look I would powder. I usually just powder my nose and chin and then just use a powder blush and bronzer and it lasts pretty well. The main thing I want to make clear is how good it feels on your skin. It is so light and just makes your skin feel great, and look great at the same time. It’s an inexpensive product and I will continue to buy it all the time! Here are some pictures and swatches! Hope this helps you! 5-8 dollars at drug stores.
