Elf Essential Nail polish in Champagne

 Wow! I LOVE this color. It's a nude pinky brown with a pearly matte finish. It remind me of a nudish coral. I can't wait to try their matte topcoat over this ( if only I can find it!)
This was so opaque and easy to apply! Could probably do two coats but one was defiantly enough.  VERY smooth application and non streaky, for $1(bought on sale, full price is $2)

I did not buff my nails or prep them, and they feel so smooth. I can't say this is the case with all elf nail colors, but so far most I've found were GEMS. Let us see how long it lasts before chipping :D

Their site shows it being pinker and pearlier than it actually is. ( Champagne Essential Polish )

Elf Essential Nourishing Cuticle Pen

$1 from their essential line. It contains various healthy oils and some other stuff. I bought this half off for $.50

At first I thought this was pretty great, but after applying to the tenth finger it seemed to have ran out. You can just use some other oils or lotion to soften them up. This seemed to work well, but I don't think it's worth it when you can just use olive oil(just a drop should do it).

The tip is really hard. I think this is pretty useless unless you want to treat yourself to a spa day or make a spa day kit for someone.

Jamberry nails!

Sorry for the delayed posts! I have not been able to keep up with my blog due to life! I'd like to introduce you to Jamberry Nails.

I really like their lace designs (under bridal party) and "clear" designs.

I love lacey designs but I can't seem to paint them! My friend is sending me a sample or two, so stay tuned for pictures and videos! Possibly giveaways!

Hiatus

Hiatus again! Sorry, I can't seem to find my camera or camera batts :(

Just placed an order from elf, 50% off sale.

e.l.f Studio Duo Shadow and Liner Stick

I bought all the colors during a sale for $1.50 each. I was very pleased with them. This is my second shadow stick product, the first being Cover Girls Smokey Eye Stick which was hard/waxy, little to no color payoff and faded in minutes.

Pearl/Glow
Glow defiantly did not have pink tones like what I saw on the website. It's pretty much an off white beige with a  pearl finish with specks of glitter. I was weary of it being both white colors, but I love it!
The shadow part is a GREAT color for highlighting the inner parts of the eyes, cupids bow, and face highlight. It's my favorite out of the bunch. I like it more than elfs all over color/shimmer sticks, shimmer pallete ect.
Basic/Brown
I was expecting more of a buttercream than a buttery gold. It's a nice color, very pearly. I like soft golds. The liner is metallicy but not too much.
 Really soft and but smudges. Fades and is really glittery.
The texture is decent. I plan to play around with this more.


Smoke/Black

Dark grey with lots of shimmer and pearl. Feel's oiler than the other colors and faded the fastest on me, yet "stained" my skin in a way. The liner is matte and smudges, however I find it lasts longer than the other eyeliners I've tried from elf.

Pros:

True to color(Exception being "Glow")

Pigmented

Lasted me a good 3 hours.

Non-creasing

Better than I expected

Cons

Smudges/ messy

Finish has glitter while being pearly or metallic

"Smoke" faded into oil.

Not much product

e.l.f Essential Plumping Lipgloss

I bought these in nearly all colors, and frankly they are almost all the same color! All are either shimmery/metallic/glittery, I did not expect that. I'm still trying to figure out which one I like, however the clear plumping gloss smells terrible.
