I got the Tone Correcting Concealer in Light, I figured it would be a match because I’m super pale body wise but not face wise so I figured settling in the middle would work but it didn’t, it was too dark, I was a bit disappointed that the color on the website was way off compared to what came in the mail but for a dollar it’s not that big a deal.

I also bought three Nail Polishes. I got one in Clear just because I was in need of a clear nail polish and it works just fine. I also got Gum Pink, it looks exactly like what’s on the website, it’s a bit watery but it’s a very fun bubble gum pink. Then I also got Berry Pink, again it looks exactly like what’s on the website, it has shimmers and it’s really pretty, but it again is kind of watery so you’ll probably need to put two coats if not more.

The Shine Eraser works great, I don’t get very oily (but I’m preparing for summer) so I use them on my boyfriend. You get fifty sheets for a dollar so it’s a great deal especially when I compare that price to that of Too Faced (which I almost bought for $12).

The Eye Widener is a descent investment. It can be hard to get on your eye so you have to rub in on your hand to warm it up, but it really does give your eyes that bigger, brighter look. The cap has a built in sharpener, which is pretty handy though I don’t know if it works. So for a buck it’s a pretty good deal.

I figured for a dollar it was worth to try all the brushes so I got the Professional Complete Set of 12 Brushes (you don’t save any money for buying sets, 12 brushes for 12 dollars). Some were goods, others weren’t as great, I haven’t used some of them yet though. My favorite so far has to be the Brow Comb and Brush for clumps on my eye lashes and the Eyelash & Brow Wand, they made my eyelashes huge and gorgeous. There was some gunk (I have no clue what it was it looked like a gel or maybe a glue?) on some of the brush handles, and also some scratches, it’s not that big a deal but a little annoying for me since I like my things looking perfect.

The last thing I bought was Mineral Eye Shadow ($3 each) in Celebrity, it looks like an orange brown on the website but when you get it it’s so gorgeous, it’s kind of copper looking with some purple undertones. It’s really shimmery though, and I haven’t used it yet so I can’t tell you if it’s good but the color is so pretty.

Also if you give up three of your friends’ e-mail addresses you get a free Candy Shop Lip Tin (usually sell for $2), I was hoping I would not get the Mocha Maniac because I hate the smell of coffee but of course I got the one I didn’t want, I tried it on my hand and it looks like it would be pretty on your lips but the smell is too overwhelming for me.

I’ll let you know about the other things I’m ordering.

David alos complained about the taste of the lipshine stuff.

I suppose I should have picked up some brushes, too…

Best to you, Mr. HSF, and Peanut!

I’ve been looking for some new eyeshadow so I bought 4 and a compact. I like the strength of the colors. I have a hard time with the purples and greens I have looking gray on my eyelids. These seem to actually stay the color they’re supposed to be. I’m really liking them.

I tried a color stick and it’s okay. I use it for cheeks, but it doesn’t seem to rub in very well. If it rub it in enough the color disappears, but if I leave it so some color shows, it feels like I’m wearing make-up.

I also got the shimmer mineral glow. I thought it might be a little like the Bare Essentials Mineral Veil. It’s more shimmery than I was expecting, but I like it.

Over all I’m really happy with my purchases, especially the eyeshadow. After recently plunking down $20 for a Stila green eyeshadow only to have it look gray on my lids, I was super-pleased that the ELF’s sage eyeshadow stayed green and was $19 cheaper. I’ll definitely be buying it again when I run out.
