So since last time I blogged (which was forever ago.. -_-;) I received my E.L.F. order! I ordered a couple of brushes and 2 lashes.
L to R: Defining Eye Brush, Contour Brush, Blush, Bronzing and Blending Brush, Eyeliner Brush and Blending Brush.
What I really wanted to get was just the blending brush and the contour brush because I gave Melissa back her M.A.C. 217 brush and I always wanted to try the 219 pencil brush. I was planning to get a M.A.C. brush set but I didn't find any that had the 217 and 219 together that was available so I had to find dupes!
The Blending Brush, isn't exactly like the 217, it's more like a fuller pencil brush but it works the same. The Contour Brush is great. I haven't tried a 219 before but this brush is what I would expect from it. Both brushes pick up color instantly and they're very soft.
The Blushing, Bronzing and Blending Brush was just a filler item. I needed a couple of more brushes to get to 10 bucks and I just got this cause I need a blush brush anyways! Usually from all my E.L.F. brushes, they're usually soft but not this one! It's a bit scrachy.. which isn't a big deal to me but it was just $1.
The Defining Eye Brush was another filler item, I haven't used it yet but it's soft! And the Eyeliner Brush, I got it for my mom. I'm teaching her how to fill in her brows with a brush cause she loves how my eyebrows look. (I use my NYX Eye Angled Brush to fill in my brows.)
Finally, lashessssss~
I've been wanting to try their lashes forever now since they look nice and it's for just $1!
Dramatic Lash Kit
Natural Lash Kit
Overall, I wasn't disapointted in the Dramatic Lash Kit.. but I am in at the Natural Lash kit.. If you notice one is more longer then the other. Which is going to look stupid on me. :/ I might just have to trim it or something to salvage it!
What I really want to get for a while now was a 120 palette and I finally got it from Lex for Christmas. Since it was from Hong Kong, it took a while to come. The one my mom orignally got for me came 2 days earlier since we paid for it 2 days earlier. I gave that one to Melissa but I couldn't wait to play around with it!
The colors are soooo amazing!
Some mattes are chaky and some shimmers are just a pile of glitter. I'm so happy I got this! I love eyeshadow but paying $14 for M.A.C. is not my thing. I buy M.A.C. for it's collections.. (Fafi and Hello Kitty~) but for a single eyeshadow.. no thanks!
I did play around with the palette already. Not a full look but just seeing what I can create with it..

The pink was just using matte colors and the blue was mainly shimmer! I love how they turn out. I used my Too Faced Shadow Insurance and a base with it. Color payoff is awesome but a few colors.. which is fine! Oh and I used my new Blending Brush and Contour Brush too for this look. :)
Ahh, I have some more stuff to blog about but I'll save it for next time. ;)
