e.l.f. Cosmetics Studio Blush

I bought 4 of these when e.l.f. had their recent 50% off Birthday sale, so for $1.50 each instead of $3.00. The 4 shades that I bought are: Peachy Keen, Tickled Pink, Candid Coral, & Mellow Mauve.
The colours are very pretty & go on sheer, which is fine with my fair skin but could be an issue with those who are darker. I've never owned a blush in the peach or coral themes before, so spending $1.50 for each was a great way to try them, and I do like the colour, but I found that I really had to build up on the colour when applying these 2 shades. The Pink & the Mauve were fine, they blended very easily!

e.l.f. Cosmetics Bronzer

I have been using this Cool bronzer for a few days now and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!! I'm extremely fair and cool toned so I have a hard time finding a bronzer that isn't too orange or too dark. This is pigmented but blends out nicely to give me the illusion of more sculpted cheekbones and is a perfect tone for me. I just swirl my brush around in all four colors and that seems to give me a 3D effect. Will definitely repurchase! And I love that it's matte so no shimmer to worry about at all.
Not bad for $3.00 - even better when I paid 1/2 price, so $1.50 for this!! :)

e.l.f. Cosmetics Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder
I have these in both St. Lucia and Turks & Caicos, as I have very pale skin & both sets work well for me. The Turks & Caicos is very neutral looking on me, while the St. Lucia is a bit brighter. The key to using these bronzers if you are very light... +
I have these in both St. Lucia and Turks & Caicos, as I have very pale skin & both sets work well for me. The Turks & Caicos is very neutral looking on me, while the St. Lucia is a bit brighter. The key to using these bronzers if you are very light skinned is to only use a tiny amount. I literally lightly tap my brush once on the bronzer and that will be enough. You can always repeat the process to build up the color. but if you're pale start very gently, because it's highly pigmented! Anyway they are both very lovely shades and very easy to use.
Also, the cost was amazing - I was able to take advantage of elf's 50% off birthday sale, so $1.50 each!!

Couldn't be happier with this palette and Coastal Scents. Ordered this, 1 for my daughter and 1 for myself, our first Coastal Scents palettes, and I'm glad we went with this for our first. It's so pigmented, blends beautifully and is affordable. Couldn't ask for more except... to order the first Revealed palette which I'm about to do when it goes on sale. We paid USD$9.95 each for ours - what a steal!!
This palette is beautiful and of excellent quality. All the colors look great together & you can easily put together a ton of different looks. The matte colors make blending a dream & the shimmers/sheen look beautiful also. Incredibly fast shipping and put together packaging. I haven't worn anything else since I received this last spring. Very impressed with this palette; it's a GREAT dupe for that other brand!! Great job, Coastal Scents!!

Coastal Scents Eclipse Palette - 15 Shades

I love this palette, as I can never find my right shade of cover up or concealer but with this palette, I can mix and blend colors to match what I need. I love the green and lavender pots as well. Overall this palette is awesome; you get a variety of colors for a great price!
My only drawback on Coastal Scents is the shipping - there is a fee to do so, & I believe it's around $15.00 for Canadian orders. But worth it!! Especially during the Big 50% off sales & the like!!

I bought this palette on sale for around $10, and I've never really used much blush before. And let me tell you, this is the greatest thing ever! Coastal Scents never disappoints, the colors are HIGHLY pigmented so you only need a little dab with your brush and they'll last you forever! The colors are different and are very pretty! I'm quite pale/fair, so I was worried about the color intensity, but they look great. Just make sure to tap your brushes, as less is more!! -

Hate this mascara - has to be the worst one I have ever tried to use!! This mascara constantly clumped on me, and the fallout was just ridiculous. I bought a second one in the waterproof option & still the same results, so in the trash they both went. Big waste of money, even with the sale price & coupons that I used. -

Absolutely the best matte collection out there!! The price looks intimidating, but hey, I recently watched a tutorial by someone who compared drugstore dupe shadows to this one, & by the time you would buy the different options, they would add up to costing more than the $27.00 that the Naked Basics is to begin with!! Love the compact size of this palette too. -

Ok, I am a self-professed Urban Decay junkie when it comes to eye makeup & products! I am completely in love with this product!! Yes, the price is high, but luckily, it was sold out for the longest time, so I had to wait, but then Sephora had a 15% off sale back in early April, so I snagged it then!! Love the colours, which work perfectly for me & my blue eyes, especially when I combine & blend the different shades. And I love that each of the 12 shades work with each other so well; so many different ways to wear this palette!! Even the double-ended brush is nice, I really like it, and the bonus primers that also came with it - those immediately went in to my purse's makeup bag!! -
e.l.f. Cosmetics Essential Eyelid Primer
My backup to Urban Decay's primer, when I don't need coverage for as long of a time period. And $1.00 - how can you go wrong, right? Just let it dry & set for a moment or 2 & it should be fine. And a little goes a long way, as it is easy to apply... +
