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).

Mac Fleshpot Lipstick | Review + Swatches

Image
Mac lipsticks are a classic, and for me this one is a must have. Mac has raised the prices of their lipsticks overtime, and currently cost $17. They have a variety of finishes, and this one is a satin finish.  "Pale muted pinky- beige" according to mac Pulls more peach on me Can be worn alone, mixed to lighten, or in the center of lips to highlightI love this lipstick even alone, but I know not everyone would like thisScreenshot from my latest video about some of my favorite lipsticksNot as dry as a mac matte, but still enough so that it wears a long timeCan be built up or worn less intense Overall, Not every person nor every skintone can pull this color off, but personally I like it. On me, it's slightly a "concealer lips" color, but that shade is the look some desire. The formula is also very nice, if I wore this more I would try to find a dupe. There may be some listed online in-case the price does not seem reasonable to you (I just hope Mac doesn't rais…
