HUGE ELF HAUL! August 2014

The e.l.f or eyes lips face website was having 50% off so I had to make an order, especially for the limited edition "Glow Pearls". This brand is very inexpensive as is but it does add up! I bought 24 things for around $40 and the website after a certain point does offer free shipping. 
With this brand there are multiple different lines: Essential (mostly $1), Studio ($3), and Mineral (most expensive around $5+)
 Here is an overview , and I have broken it up into categories which you will see below. 
 Tools:

  • Essential eyeshadow brush
  • Essential eyelash curler replacement pads

 Lips:

  • Studio Matte Lip color in "Natural"
  • Studio Moisturizing Lipstick in "Rosy-Go-Round"
  • Mineral Lip Gloss in "Au Naturale"
  • Essential Lip Balm Tint in "Grapefruit"

 Eyes:

  • Studio Eye Brow Kit in "Light"
  • Studio Gel Liner in "Midnight"
  • Studio Long Lasting Lustrous Eyeshadow in "Toast"
  • Studio Mascara Primer (Translucent)
  • Studio Baked Eyeshadow in "Toasted"
  • Essential Smudge Pot in "Cruisin Chic"

 Highlighters:

  • Mineral Glow pearls in "Skin Balancing" and "Natural"
  • Studio Baked Highlighters in "Moonlight Pearls" "Pink Diamonds" and "Blush Gems"


Cheeks:
  • Studio Contouring Blush and Bronzer Cream Duo
  • Studio Blushes in "Blushing Rose" and "Tickled Pink"
  • Studio Bronzer in "Cool Bronzer"
  • Studio HD Blush in "Headliner"
  • Pressed Mineral Blush in "Sweet Retreat"
    Pressed Mineral Bronzer in "Beach Bronze"
That completes this over the top haul! I am already swatching and taking blog pics. If you want to see a review on something sooner rather than later leave a comment or on the haul pic I posted on Instagram (budgetmakeupbeauty). I have over 50 drafts of things to post so I will be trying to post at least everyday (those 50 drafts do not include things in this haul).

Sephora Marvelous Mauve Cream Lip Stain: Review + Swatches

Image
Saved the best, in my opinion, for last. So far, I've reviewed Blackberry Sorbet and Pink Souffle. This is the 3rd, and final Sephora Cream Lip Stain I own. At $13, there are a few others I may eventually get, as well as continue to hope for more shades!  Same Packaging as the others Marvelous Mauve Do-foot applicator Arm Swatch A stunning mauve, just like the name Full face, it's really a beautiful color for everyone I'd call it neutral undertone, maybe a bit blue (makes teeth the same if not whiter) Lasts all day longStains, no touch ups neededSupposed dupe to Stila Patina, Every time I try to get my hands on that on it's always sold out (this was for the longest time as well)Applies very smoothly and evenlyLittle to no shimmers, unlike the other shadesDoesn't make lips look dryDoesn't dry lips outSame slight vanilla scentFlattering color, and tone Overall, If you can ever find this in stock, you need it! There is a reason why it is always sold out, and that&…

Milani Stay Put Brow Color: Review, Swatch, and Demo

Image
Milani has done it again! This is essentially a brow pomade. The range includes 5 shades, retailing at only $6.99.  This product is already up on the milani site, and I found mine a few weeks ago in-stores.  I bought mine in the second shade, 02 Natural Taupe "Light Taupe for Golden Blonde to Light Ash Brown Hair" Comes with it's own brush More on the"golden blonde" side
Here I used it in my brows The brushAngled side:Average angled brush, not too flimsy, great for filling in browsSpoolie side:A little harsh, not as good at spreading the brow product aroundGoes on as a creamSets into place, doesn't move throughout the dayIn some lights this shade looks a little too warm, in other lights a green tingeOverall a fairly good color matchAffordable alternative to say Dipbrow by Anastasia Beverly HillsA little product goes a long wayWon't run out for a long time Overall, This is a great brow product, at a great price! It's not the kind of product that has a…
