So let me start off saying that I'm a beginner to makeup. Not all makeup but the serious stuff yes. I use concealer, blush, mascara, and sometimes eyeliner and that's it people! It basically covers up pimples, evens out my redness, and makes me look awake. I'm just now getting into other makeup at the age of 19. Yes, 19. I'm starting to buy more products to try and find out what fits me but not trying to spend an arm and a leg. So of course, I started with elf. For those of you that don't know elf is a cosmetics brand that covers everything eyes, lips, and face, hence the acronym, elf. Very clever. They are very, very cheap. I'm talking a dollar for some lipstick. Crazy. But the amazing thing is.. it's good quality. Almost every review I've heard, and trust me I've heard a lot ( I do my homework!), has been good. I few products people say they don't like but the basic things are very good. They are smaller proportions but right now I like that while I find what I like. The face products I hear the most complaints. But just the foundations and concealers, so far. But just so you know I LOVE everything I got! Everything was GREAT quality. So I'll list some pictures below :) The other brand I started with was Stila because I really liked Zoella's review of the In the Light palette. (Which her review is way better than mine so definitely check her out! Hew swatches are also more true to color.) It was a bunch of pretty natural colors so I thought it would also be good to start with. So here are some picture of those as well!
So let's get started!
First the Stila things..
The cute packaging!
The first item: a self-adjusting blush in coral. Very pretty color. $20
The palette. $39
All the color names. They're also on the inside.
It comes with a cookbook which I personally liked because it helps me put colors together.
Beautiful colors! And they're so soft.
Really liked this saying on the inside of the box.
Smudge stick waterproof eye liner in the shade Damsel.
It's a dark brown and goes on like a dream.
Just a few swatches of the colors but Zoella's is so must better!
Now on to the elf items! (SO much guys haha)
Packaging. It came with paper above too.
These were all so soft!! 11 Piece Studio brush collection $30
Stipple brush $3
Kabuki $6
I got so many!! Ahh!
All the essential lipsticks were $1!!!!! And the Mineral was $5. CRAZY!
Eyebrow lifter and filler, two waterproof eyeliner pens in coffee and black each a $1, and a wet gloss lash and brow clear mascara $1
All the nail polishes I got.. ekk!
And these were each $2
Ys I spent a lot probably too much but I knew I would used almost all of it and I like everything so I'm happy! I will be doing reviews on everything but it will take some time and I will probably do them in groups how I pictured them. I hope you're as excited as me and you check Stila and Elf out! They're awesome. And leave me comments or questions about the products before you buy and I'll tell you if its worth it or not!
P.S. I had a 20% off code for both of these sites!! You get one at Stila on your first purchase and you can probably goole one. Elf codes are EVERYWHERE you can google them and they send them to you! They want you to use them people! So do.
Thanks so much for reading and I'd appreciate comments! :D
Stay tuned for a Sleek Makeup haul next!
