Elf Product Haul =)

I ordered some more Elf products about 2 weeks ago, and they came in yesterday (Feb 15/11). I was super excited to open my package, even though I really wanted to save the excitement until I was off work yesterday, but 9pm just seemed so far away...but not like I was able to get back to sleep after going to my morning product knowledge class anyway.

Anyway, I will say I forgot to take pictures of the brushes I purchased, and now it's the pm that I'm writing this review, can't exactly take pictures because 1, my camera is getting old so it can't really focus well on things that are detailed and small, so the printing and picture itself turns out a bit blurry. Second of all, the flash would kind of white out the product from the picture, so that alone defeats the purpose. BUT, I guess I have no choice but to link the pictures.

To start off, from the first time I purchased the Elf Studio Brushes...I was super impressed by the quality it offered. I mean, for a 3 dollars, to like 10 max (sometimes with coupon codes), you really can't go wrong. Initially when I ordered their studio brushes, I got the blush brush, powder brush, small angled brush, and the kabuki face brush. They all worked very well, and you can see the rest of the brushes here.

The ones I did get this time was eyeshadow "c" brush, complexion brush, and the kabuki body brush. Here are the pictures of them in there respective order:

The reason why I got the eyeshadow c brush was because the one from Elf original line kind had this one prickly hair that kept hurting me when I was applying eyeshadow. It wasn't very pleasant, and I felt like it was cutting my lids...needless to say it was a much needed purchase for that brush. The complexion brush is really nice too, it feels super soft and it's nice and fluffy. Great for applying powder or blushes for a much softer and diffused/blended look. As for the kabuki body brush, it's much bigger than I expected..doesn't feel as dense as the face brush, but it'd be really good to apply loose powder with. The reason why I bought these brushes was because I needed another set of brushes inbetween cleaning each set after 1 weeks use. I found my face broke out because I didn't have the time or I'd forget to clean them on a night before a day off...and sometimes the denser brushes don't dry fast enough so by the time I need them again, they aren't dry. So now I have enough brushes between cleanings, and have spare brushes to use.

I also got the eyelid primer...but unfortunately I couldn't take a proper picture of it, so here's the link for it: http://www.eyeslipsface.com/elf/eyes/concealers_and_primers/eyelid_primer

I applied it to the back of my hand it and has a bit of a tint, but nothing that's overwhelming; it's very sheer and has a bit of shimmer to it I think. I have yet to put it to the test though.

For some reason though, my picture for the shimmer pencils turned out decently clear, but it had to edit the lighting in the photo a bit because it was a bit dark.

Top one I believe is Boldy Bronzed, and the bottom one is Precious Pink.

Both pencils are very pigmented, more pigmented I find than my purple pencil I got in NYX, which I'll review another day. I'll also mention they feel quite creamy, so application should be really nice too.

Blush and Bronzer

I'm sure everyone is familiar with this duo. Supposedly very comparable to Nars Orgasm?? If I remember correctly...but I honestly have never used it, so I don't know. But again, very pigmented, you might see a smudge in the middle of the powders because I swatched them on my hand to see how pigmented they were.

I realize it's not a great picture, but anyway...don't quite remember what this is called, but I got it because it would be great for a highlight, and great for the eyes in the the inner corner. So I'm excited to see what this stuff will do since I've only used shimmering white eyeshadow powder, I want to try some creamy colors.

So yeah, overall I'm very excited to see how this stuff works, how well it applies on, and how long it lasts. Best part of it was that it didn't cost me very much either. Of course, most of these products are ones that I bought after doing research, and ones people do recommend.
