hey loves!
yesterday a friend and i went to target and i discovered their e.l.f. collection! i was in heaven! i literally had no idea they had that many e.l.f. products! i very rarely shop at target because in my area they are one of the higher priced stores but i will now be going there a lot more often!
i ended up having a huge haul, unexpected of course.
e.l.f. products i purchased:
flawless finish foundation
clarifying pressed powder
makeup mist & set
wet gloss lash & brow clear mascara
lip primer & plumper
matte lip color (ruby red)
ultimate eyeshadow palette (actually purchased black friday 2011)
my current reaction of all the e.l.f. products is i love them all. since i was changing foundation i decided to change everything as well. my entire routine has been re-vamped and it's got me really excited. e.l.f. products are extremely affordable and can fit into anyone's budget, i strongly recommend them!
also from ulta i bought a new nyx soft matte cream ('addis ababa), love the color not so much the actual product. i got a real techniques stippling brush by pixiwoo, love the brush but not with the new foundation, will save it for another time.
i'd stopped by cvs the other day and got the magic perfecting base, now this is my first time ever using any kind of primer because i never really understood the point of using it but i am in love with it now. it immediately mattifies your face and i am a huge fan of matte! i do not like shine at all, not even on my lips. it smooths out your face which allows easier application of foundation. it also has a very light feel, my old foundation/make-up routine left my face feeling very heavy and i could actually feel the make-up on my face, not anymore!
i'm still in the process of strengthening my nails and i can tell this is going to be a very trying process! i've stripped all heavy color polish off and applied strengthener and a very light coat of glitter for at least a lil pop of color. fingers crossed it doesn't take long because i hate the sight of my nails with no polish.
stay beautiful!
