Hey guys! I know It’s been a while but my laptop just recently broke and I’ve been at a loss for inspiration. I hope to blog a BUNCH this summer now that I don’t have to focus on school so much! Anyway, recently I went to Target and picked up a few products as well a new purse! So let’s get started!
Let’s start with the makeup! All the products except for an eye shadow brush were products from e.l.f I’d never tried. (Btw I do recommend brushes from e.l.f + they’re so darn cheap!)
I got the e.l.f Eye Refresh , e.lf. Pressed Powder (in Ivory), and the e.l.f Essential All-Over Color Stick (in Persimmon).
e.l.f Eye Refresh
I really enjoyed this product! The roller is very cool and refreshing! It’s very clear. I got mine for about $4.00 . This product hasn’t really helped with my dark circles, but does help with my burning eyes when I’m having bad allergies. There’s not much more I can say. I give this product an A+.
e.l.f Pressed Powder
I kind of like this product. I love my Maybelline Fit Me! Powder but I was looking for a cheap alternative since my summer budget is tight and I had just experienced horrifying trauma. Hitting pan! So e.l.f was the answer. I tried this out in Ivory and it worked ok. The application pad is rough and does not release much product. The color is a little yellow-ish and the formula is just a little more cakey-esk than my Maybelline Fit Me!. It also lacks a holding space for the applicator Either way I can make it work, although I’ll probably reuse my Maybelline applicator once it’s all gone :(. I give this a B+.
e.l.f All Over Stick
This product is good. It’s definitely un-essential though and definitely not a makeup bag pick. I’m not exactly sure the point of this product. I found it too dark for my snow-white skin. I just used it as a cream blush. Even as a blush it only stays on the skin for a few minutes before blending in like it was never there in the first place. If you use it as a blush, I would recommend adding a powder formula on top. There’s not much to say about it. It’s just a marketing gimmick to convince people into buying some crap product that nobody actually needs but everyone wants because it’s a so-called “miracle product”. I won’t toss it, but I won’t ever love it either. It’s just another bleh product. Unless you want your face to look so oily and unflattering that people think your flammable, DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS!
All Over Stick Swatch
Next I want to show you my new purse! I found this in the regular purse section at Target. I was having trouble finding an inexpensive bag. Then I came across this Liv & Maddie D-signed Crossbody Bag. Apparently this bag was from the clearance kid’s section and was misplaced in the women’s section. I thought it was cute though and it was only $15.00! So who cares?
So there it is! I don’t mean to brag about my purchases. And I’m very thankful for stuff I have. So please no hate 🙂 ❤
