Elf Haul!

Hey all! As finals week has been absolutely brutal, I needed a quick and cheap pick-me-up. For that, I turn to Elf. I picked up a few of the things I've been dieing to try from them, from Target:

In case you don't already know, all Elf products are ridiculously cheap and most are good quality.

From left to right, I picked up:

(1) HD Powder ($6)
(2) Flawless Finish Foundation ($3)
(3) Tone Correcting Powder ($3)
(4) Mineral Infused Primer ($3)

I'll definitely be reviewing these products once I've had a chance to play around with them.

In the mean time, have you tried any of these products? What did you think?

Mini Elf Haul

Hey all!
I wanted to kick off the week with a mini Elf Haul from my visit to Target over the weekend. Here are the goodies:

First up is the eyeshadow quad in Drama- perfect for smokey eyes.

Drama is imo a well rounded quad- it has a matte white, a shimmery charcoal, a shimmery black, and a shimmery silver. I couldn't wait to see what the pigmentation was like, so I opened it up and swatched right away:

The eye shadows were SUPER pigmented and the texture was amazing- soft and creamy. For $1, you can't beat this deal with a stick! (lol...)

Next is the 2-in-1 Conditioning Gloss in Golden. The Conditioning Glosses are part of their studio line, so these were a bit more expensive at $3. Still, for the quality of these products, you are still getting a great bargain!

It seems like a color that would be really pretty over any lipstick, or just on its own.

Last is the 2-in-1 Conditioning Gloss in Supermodel

Supermodel is a punchy coral color which will be great as the weather gets warmer, I feel like this one will be a summer staple!

The applicators for the glosses were different than what I am used to. They were spongy doefoot applicators with a hole in the model for the gloss to come through when you squeeze the tube.

I don't know how I feel about this yet but I would have been happy with the regular plastic doefoot applicator that usually comes with these types of glosses.

All of these products can be purchased at select Targets (I don't think all Targets carry Elf) or on their website: http://www.eyeslipsface.com/

Fashion Trend Friday!!

Hey all! This is the second installment for Fashion Trend Friday and will be all about things currently in my online shopping carts!

(1) Liquid Leggings. I love these. They spice up boring outfits, look great for nighttime and add edge to any outfit. Love. The ones below are from target and retail for $24.99

(2) Fur vest. Like the liquid leggings, they add oomph to any outfit. I like the bigger black and grey ones. Faux of course! This one is from Michael Kors and goes for $103.99 on sale from $175.00. The price is a bit more than I'd like to pay for, but I'm sure there are similar styles that are much more affordable.

(3) Colored denim. I've seen jeans in a rainbow of colors, but my favorites right now are indigo/cobalt blue, and true red. The indigo is especially great for those who are easing into the trend, or are not as comfortable with some of the other colors out there, like lime green or yellow. Below, the blue ones are from New York & Company and go for $59.85 while the red ones are from Charlotte Russe and retail for $29.99.

(4) Fitted leather jackets. I love the way they look with more feminine clothing, a jeans and a tee, basically anything! This is a great versatile piece that is also functional for getting through the last bits of winter. Push up the sleeves for extra points! The one below is from BeBe and is $149.00
