Continuing my partial coverage on E.l.f's new essential line makeup, I picked up the new Flawless Eyeshadow Palette. This palette comes in 7 different shades, and I picked up the shade "Golden Goddess". I picked this specific palette because I saw it as a great fall palette with all it's bronze shades. This palette retails for $2 on the E.l.f Cosmetics website. Let's see what I think about this eyeshadow palette.

Another one of E.l.f's new line of makeup is the Jumbo Eyeshadow Stick. Now if you are the least bit into makeup & beauty, these might look a little familiar. NYX carries a similar jumbo eyeshadow pencil that works really well and coms in a variety of shades. This eyeshadow stick by E.l.f comes in 10 shades, ranging from nudes to deep night-time shades. I only purchased one shade "Turkish Coffee" because of the very poor selection at Kmart. This product retails for $2 and can be found at E.l.f's website and drugstores near you. So let's see what I think about this Eyeshadow Stick!

Sorry to say, but this will probably be the last E.l.f Cosmetics "Show and Tell" I do for you all. I hope you enjoyed all the information as well as swatches! Today I am showing the E.l.f Brightening Eyeshadow Quads. These palettes come with 4 colors that work around each other to create one eye look. I was drawn to these back in 2009 when I purchased one of the shades, and now I have collected a few of them. These eyeshadows are from E.l.f's Essential Line, their cheapest line. These are a steal at only $1 each, which is personally a real steal for 4 eyeshadows! So lets get on to what I think of the colors that I have.

Today I am sharing with you all two of my favorite eyeshadows. They both are by E.l.f Cosmetics, a brand that is no stranger to my blog! I purchased these eyeshadows a while back in hopes of scoring some great single eyeshadows from E.l.f's Studio Line. I purchased 2 shades, 2 completely different shades to be exact. I got one that is a deep brown & red mixture and another that is an orange rose-gold shade. These eyeshadows were $3 each, so there wasn't any qualms about wasting my money. Lets get down to what I think about them!

Hey everyone, I hope all is well. Today I come to you with an updated review of the E.l.f 100 Eyeshadow Palette. I got this palette a LONG time ago, and I did a video review of it when I first got it. Now that I've had it for a long time, I can review it again. This is a 100 color eyeshadow palette. With colors ranging from blacks, to reds, to greens, to blues and purples, and pinks and so on!!!!
This palette was purchased off E.l.f website here for $10. I'll leave a link below to where you can see more about the palette. So without further adieu, lets get on with the review.

Hey everyone, I hope all is well! Today I come to you with a review. Wet n' Wild is a cosmetics brand that I've just know started to experiment with. I've tried quite a few things from them, and I'm really impressed. I think Wet n' Wild's amazingly affordable prices and great quality products are a great sign for anyone to try out their stuff. Their Color Icon Trio palettes are eyeshadow palettes that come with 3 shades. One for the Eyelid, the Crease, and the Brow bone. Perfect for someone who has recently started off with makeup and want to create that simple smokey eye look. At around $2.99 each, they are definitely a steal.
Packaging: The eyeshadow palette seems secure in it's plastic casing. They make a lot of different shades for this particular palette, so it';s nice that they have a clear lid so you can see each one clearly. Along with the eye shadows, the palette comes with two little applicators (one sponge & one tiny brush).
Color/Pigmentation: The eyeshadows give off a pretty "safe" wash of color. If I want to have a bold show up of color with these shades I have to really pack on the shadows. This palettes colors also come up a bit chalky. Especially the brow bone shade, with is common for most light/matte eyeshadows. The crease color comes up well and is really bold. To me the most annoying shade is the eyelid shade. It comes up plain, and unappealing when applied to my eyes.
Quality: I think that this palette was well thought up. It was an amazing idea to have 3 different eyeshadows in one palette with designated to each part of the eye. Great for people who are just starting out with makeup, but the shadows themselves just come off pretty short when it comes to pigmentation. The eyeshadows are chalky, and not really "easy" to apply.
Overall, I think that the idea for this palette was great, but these colors just aren't working well enough. Maybe the other shades in this palette collection have better color payoff, but this one just falls short.

I hope everyone is enjoying their week so far. I'm going to start the new e.l.f product reviews today so I can get all of them out to you asap. I have so much to say about all these new products so I'm starting today. This is a review on the E.l.f Cream Eyeshadow.
See my video review here on YouTube: (sorry for it being not in focus, my camera didn't focus)
See my video review here on YouTube: (sorry for it being not in focus, my camera didn't focus)
Packaging: The eyeshadow comes in a a sturdy-plastic jar, that has a strong cap. One thing noticeable about this product is the size. The jar is bigger than the e.l.f matte eyeshadows, which come in a similar jar. The amount of product in the jar is really amazing for only $3. It is jammed packed with product, and will most likely last you a long time. Some haul's and reviews of this cream eyeshadow that I'd seen was that this product can come dried out, or hard. My jar of product was moist, and pliable. But I guess it depends on your own special preference. You have to make sure to tighten the top on the jar really well, because it can lead to drying out the cream eyeshadow.
Color/Pigmentation: I got this cream eyeshadow in the color "Bronzed". I got this because I heard about using it as a base for your eyeshadow. It was priced at $3, amazingly inexpensive for something of this quality. The color is a a mixture of brown and gold, and it is just what the name says "Bronzed" In the picture below you can see what it looks like on my finger. It's actually quite pigmented when you apply it.
Overall, I think this cream eyeshadow is well worth the $3 you pay for it. I think that it could be a product that I use everyday for all types of makeup looks. I didn't really find any negatives with this product, so I think it's pretty good. I hope to purchase more colors at another time.
P.S - I have a E.l.f Coupon Code below for you guys, you can get 10 FREE mineral eyeshadows with a $30 purchase until April 30th , so go get some free eyeshadows!!!

Hi everyone, I hope everyone had an amazing holiday/new year season! Today I'm doing a review on a makeup product from E.l.f Cosmetics. E.l.f is a cosmetics brand that develops makeup that is amazing in quality but way cheaper than other major brands, and when I say cheaper I mean CHEAPER! Most of their makeup only cost $5 or less. I love E.l.f and I'll be doing more and more on the brand.
The product I'm reviewing today is the E.l.f Eyelid Primer. I purchased this products about 3-4 months ago for only $1 and I am ready to unveil what I think of it. Keep reading if you want to learn more.
According to E.l.f...this primer "Preps your eyelid for smoother, longer-lasting and crease-proof eyeshadow. The ultra sheer nude color works to increase eye color longevity. The lightweight liquid formula quickly absorbs into the skin for comfortable wear."
I wear eye makeup almost everyday and I use this before I apply any makeup. When I first purchased it I used it incorrectly. I applied the primer directly all over my eyelid. After about 2 weeks or so I saw a video on the correct way to apply it. When applying this primer you definitely don't want to over use it. It will dry on your eyelid and become a tacky looking mess, plus your wasting product. Just applying one or two little "dots" will get the job done. The formula will smooth out and give you a clean canvas to apply makeup on.
I have this primer in the shade "Sheer" as you can see it isn't my skin tone, but it blends out.
On the website they have 3 new shades which are
Overall this primer is amazing and it is worth that buck. It is most definitely comparable to other more expensive brands.
