Got my very first package from eyeslipsface.co.uk in the mail today (it took a week to get it). E.L.F is a cosmetics company with very low prices ($1 a piece). And I was curious of some of their things so when I had the ability to add a free shipping coupon I took the chance to order some stuff.
I got the Eyelash and Brow Wand, Slant Tweezer, Feather Proof Moisturizing Lip Liner in the color Natural Blush and a Plumping Lip Glaze in the color Ruby Kiss.
- The Eyelash and Brow Wand does what it should even though I think it’s in poor quality.
- The Slant Tweezer has a good grip and that’s about it. I think my old one is better!
- The Feather Proof Moisturising Lip Line was really good, even though the color was a bit darker than shown. The lips didn’t get dry (I use it to color all of the lip area, like a lipstick sort of, to get the matte natural look) and I had it on for several hours.
- The Plumping Lip Glaze had the right color. It has two sides, a glossy side with a minty smell that really tingles upon application (and for quite a while afterward – it feels like the lips get bigger but they don’t) and a color side. The color is great (I’m not sure how long it can stay on though) but it has an unpleasant chemical smell, I didn’t like it much. It looked pretty though!
I’m not sure if I’m going to order again, but I think you can get both good and bad products from E.L.F and it’s worth trying out if you want cheap cosmetics. Don’t have too high hopes!
Check this out!
A week ago found these at Lagerhaus. Two different types of “makeup-holders” (perfect for lipsticks, brushes, etc), one of them was for 99 SEK and the other one for 149 SEK or something. They really looks like the pennholder I found at Clas Ohlsson about a month ago:
Even though this one is for pencils and stuff I think it work just as good as the ones from Lagerhaus. And the price? 39 SEK! A real bargain!
In swedish: I helgen hittade jag dessa på Lagerhaus (bild 1). Två olika sorters sminkställ (vill jag kalla det). Den ena 99kr och den andra 149kr tror jag det var. Måtten anpassade efter läppstift osv. De liknar nästan den jag köpte på Clas Ohlsson för en månad sedan (bild 2).
Men denna är ju för skrivbordsprylar men den fungerar precis lika bra som de från Lagerhaus. Priset? 39kr har jag för mig! Fynd!
I totally forgot to mention that I made another order at Everyday Minerals about a month ago!
A Free Sample Kit and a Flat Top Brush
I ordered another free kit with the foundation colors that I liked but in another formula; Cool Fair (semi-matte), Buff Ivory (semi-matte) and Cool Fair (intensive).
As for the blusher I chose Light Pink (image on the right) and as for the concealer I once again chose the Multi-Tasking Concealer (it totally rocks!).
I also ordered a new brush that has become my favorite! It’s the Flat Top Brush! It’s incredibly soft! But the handle was much smaller than I expected.
I still however prefer to use a rounded brush for the blushers, but it’s great to use with foundations!
The Sand Castle Kit
I also couldn’t resist getting the Sand Castle Kit! It’s a sample kit of Driftwood, Funnel Cake, Boardwalk, and Freckles eye shadows and it comes with a bamboo handled eye shadow brush! And wow, I’m totally in love with those colors! They all fits me perfectly! I can really recommend this kit!
Freebies!
I also got a surprise with my order! Three free eye shadow samples! It was Cotton Tale (grey), Greeting Card (purple) and Hoppity Hop Hop (green) (I love that name!). I guess they are from the previous summer (last year) collection. I haven’t had the chance to try them yet though.
A lot of stuff, I know :P
Everyday Minerals – again
I know I’ve talked about makeup a bit too much lately, I’m not going to turn this in to a beauty blog. But these are all the news I have to tell! I’m working and working so I don’t really have much time for anything else.
Last week I received two brushes and two eye shadows from EverydayMinerals. One foundation brush and one eye shadow brush. The eye shadows are Floating Feathers and Pressed Olive.
Once again I have to give EM the highest score. I’ve never experienced so soft brushes! I’ve already tossed away my cheap H&M brushes! It’s a huge difference!
And, Floating Feathers is my newest favorite among my eye shadows! Not that I have many. I’ve got these two, a two colored one from Isadora, a couple from H&M and a small palette from Viva La Diva. And I also only buy samples when it comes to mineral products since they last very long for me (it’s cheaper too!).
Gucci RTW Fall 2009
I just saw the images from Gucci’s latest collection on a fashion blog and went “wow!”. I just love the style! It’s black and rock! Check out the images from Gucci RTW Fall 2009 at WWD.com and tell me what you think!
Enough about that. I should get down to the basement to see if there’s anyone in the wash house, if there’s not I might just slip in and wash some clothes. I don’t think you are allowed to wash after 8 in the evening but I really have to!
One and a half week ago I ordered a Sample Makeup Kit from Everyday Minerals and it arrived today!
I got the following…
Foundations
- Cool-Fair (Original Glo)
- Cool-Fair Medium (Semi-Matte)
- Buff-Ivory (Semi-Matte)
Cheek/Blusher
- Salon Fun
Concealer
- Multi-Intensive
I’ve tried them all once and I can already say that all the foundation colors works perfectly with different areas of my facial skin! Amazing. I need a bit more time to see which one is the ultimate one for me though.
The concealer took away my blemishes right away. Score! And the blusher might be a little bit too dark/intense for my cheeks so I have to be careful with it, however I also used it as a lip color along with H&M’s transparent lip gloss and the color is perfect! So far Everyday Minerals products get 5 of 5 from me!
I just have to show you the other eyeshadow from Ninja Minerals I got the other day. It’s the perfect green!
Also, I’ve tried to thread my eyebrows. I never thought it would work but it did. Takes a while to learn, but it is effective!
