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).

Anastasia Cream Contour Kit | Fair | Review + Swatches

There are many contour options from single shades, palettes, powder, cream, but rarely do they cater to fair skin tones. This cream contour palette is in the shade fair, retailing for $40. There are three highlight shades in the top row, and three contours in the lower row. Cruelty free Sleek packaging After watching With flash No flash For a video demo:  https://youtu.be/jXuu8vNIljs The consistency is creamy but on the drier side Can mix with a facial oil if desired Still blends out very easily on its own I usually apply with my fingertips to desired areas and then blend out with a beauty blender Soft Light is a more peachy pink "pale peach" toned concealer / highlight Lustre is an iridescent clear shimmer "sheer porcelain" Not my favorite shade since it is not intense enough as a highlight and the product still needs to be set in place Fair is more yellow toned "pure sand" and is concealer toned on my skin F

Mac Fleshpot Lipstick | Review + Swatches

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 highlight I love this lipstick even alone, but I know not everyone would like this Screenshot from my latest video about some of my favorite lipsticks Not as dry as a mac matte, but still enough so that it wears a long time Can 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 reasonabl
