Yay another Hard Candy product:) I can honestly say that this is my favorite concealer that I own. I'm always trying to hide my under eye circles that just never seem to go away, seriously... I can sleep for 10 hours and I still have them when I wake up. So when I finally bought this after hearing reviews on it, I was super happy with the quality. Its very thick and you might think that it will crease but if you blend it in well enough it gives really great coverage without creasing. The color I have is in medium and I believe theres only 3 different shades but I might be wrong. I bought mine for around $6 at Walmart, because its only sold there now. This is a great inexpensive concealer so you guys should check it out if you have a Walmart close by:)

E.l.f Haul Finally Here!
I'm super excited to get this after waiting 2 weeks! I'll be doing a review on the blushes after I try them out and also the eyeshadow compact. One of the colors I chose were out of stock so my compact only had 3 colors in it which kind of sucks...

Mascara of the Day: Maybeline The Falsies
So first of all I want to let anyone who is about to go out and by this, don't be tricked by the name! I do really like this mascara but like every other one, it doesn't make your lashes look anything close to how thick fake ones do. This is still a really great mascara though, the wand is curved so it really helps during application. And I really love the formula, it's not too water or too dry, it in between. You can find this at any drug store and it costs around $7-$8.

Mascara of the Day: Rimmel Sexy Curves
Most of you guys know that this is a very popular favorite on Youtube and is probably some of your favorites too! I love this mascara, I honestly don't have anything bad to say about it. The wand is great for applying, the packaging is super nice and the formulation is amazing. This mascara is sold for about $8 at all drugstores. The wand of this mascara is so unique and I think that's why so many people are in love with this product. This would be one of my mos recommended drugstore mascaras and I think its a must have for you collection

Revlon Illuminance Cream Shadows Review
I know a lot of you aren't wanting to spend $20 on a Mac Paint Pot and I totally agree with that! I think that these Revlon Cream Shadows are a way better deal. I can't tell you if they are dupes for the Mac Paint Pots but i can tell you that they have great pigmentation and are great under your powdered eye shadows. The 2 quads I own are 710 Not Just Nudes(darker quad), and 740 Seashells(lighter quad). The Seashells quad is perfect to use as highlights for any look but can also really improve you powder eye shadows color. I don't remember exactly how much I payed for these but I know that they are around $8-$12. You do get a lot of product inside because you don't need to use a lot when applying. These quads really have multi purpose uses, they can be used as an all over lid color, under your eyeshadow as a base, as a brow bone highlight or even a cheek bone highlight. Here are the swatches of each quad;

Sally Hansens Complete Salon Manicure
From left to right: 540 Frutti Petutie,510 I Pink I Can, 520 Shrimply Devine, Dianthus, 470 Purple Pulse
I can honestly say that I own more nail polish than I can wear in a year. I've tried a bunch of different brands and this one stands out to me. First of all the applicators really get the job done because the are bigger than a normal sized nail polish brush and I find that it works better. I really love almost all the colors that the have even though I only own mostly pinks there are a lot of other shades that I will eventually buy. My 2 most favorite colors that I own are 520 Shrimply Devine, and 510 I Pink I Can. I love how pigmented these shades are because that means you don't have to use many coats which is really annoying sometimes. I usually use about 2 coats and that builds the color up really well. If you don't have the time to do 2 coats, you can get away with doing only 1 coat with certain colors like the darker ones. The price of these nail polishes are around $8 or$9 at most drugstores or walmart and I think that's a good deal because the colors are beautiful and they are really good quality nail polishes.
Fav. NYC Lipsticks
Colors(from left to right): 312 Chiffon, 409 Fragile Pink, 313B Wild Orchid, 301 Cafe
I love these NYC lipsticks because they have really good pigmentation and they are super cheap. Also the stay power is decent for a $2 lipstick and the colors are gorgeous! If you are looking to buy a nice pink shade of lipstick, I would go with Fragile Pink( the second color from the left) This is my favorite shade of pink lipstick because its not too like and not too dark so it shows up pink on my lips but its not too overpowering. Chiffon is a really light pink that will give you a frosty pink lip. Wild Orchid and Cafe might look really dark in the packaging but on your lips they don't look as harsh.
Here are the swatches for you guys, they're in the same order as the other picture above:)

Top 5 E.l.f Products Review
First of all I'd like to say sorry for the picture quality, I tried my best to get the glare out but as you can see I couldn't avoid it. So, for those of you who don't know what Elf is, it's a brand of cosmetics with ridiculously cheap prices and in my opinion good quality compared to other more expensive drug store brands. I know this brand can be found in Target, but unfortunately I don't live in the states so I can't find Elf anywhere that I've looked. I get my Elf products by ordering online at http://www.eyeslipsface.com/ and you can often get discount codes such as free shipping and half price items. All the products I have shown in the picture are from their 1$ line. Yeah, they sell products for only 1$!
For my first product I recommend buying if you're purchasing something from Elf is the Shimmering Facial Whip. The color that you see in the picture is called Lilac Petal and it is lighter in person than it is in my picture.When I first got this product I thought I wouldn't like it because I wanted more pink shades to use as blush but it turned out to be a perfect highlight! From the names you would think that the color would be a kind of light purple because when you think lilac you think purple but its actually a more sort of beige color that would great for a highlight on my skin tone. The only bad thing i can say about this product is that when I first saw it o the website I thought it was going to be in a bigger tube and i was surprised when I got my package and it was a little bigger than my thumb. But, it was only $1 and since you only use a small amount it should last you a while. Two other colors I would recommend are Spotlight, which is a good highlight for people with lighter skin because it's a white sparkly color and Pink Lemonade, which is a medium pink shade that looks good as a blush. Also if you were wondering all of these shades have shimmer in them so if you don't like shimmer I wouldn't recommend that you buy them. Another thing, for beginners just starting to learn how to highlight make sure this product is well blended in because it can cause harsh lines.
The second product is the false eyelashes from their $1 line. I have tried the natural and the dramatic ones and I'm in love with them both. These lashes come in the colors brown or black and also come with glue. I strongly suggest that you go out and buy your own glue though, the one i use is by Ardel and I think it was around $5. I don't feel like paying $8 or $9 for eyelashes is necessary so I think these ones are really worth trying if you wear false lashes.
The third product is Elfs Eyeshadow Duos. I only added one in the picture but I own them all and I do like some better than others but I think they're great for only $1. If you were wondering the one I have in the picture i in the color Berry Mix and its my favorite out of all of the shades. If you had to chose one of these duos I would go for Berry Mix. I'm not going to list all the shades for you guys but they're all on the web site so you should go check that out and see if you like any of the other ones:)
My fourth product is the Hypershine Gloss and the shade I've shown is Flirt. Well first I'll start off by saying that this lip gloss does have a weird smell that I can't really describe but its not like its a disgusting smell its just a sort of plastic smell, i don't know that's the best way i could describe it. But, it is a good lip gloss and it comes in a bunch of different shades and like I've said for all he other products its only $1.
Last but not least is the Waterproof Eyeliner Pen which is one of my most favorite products ever from Elf. The applicator is felt and it reminds me kind of like a marker, that might be only me but I feel like I'm using a marker when i use it bu that's what makes it so much easier. Its not messy like liquid liners and its more on the dry side so it wont get all over and you wont have to wait for it to dry or anything which is what i like with eyeliners. This also comes in different shades and you guys should go check that out on the website also:)
I hope this helped some of you on deciding what to get from their website or wherever they sell Elf products near you. If you have any questions comment and I'll reply back to you. Also I'm sorry i didn't do swatches, I'll remember to do that for my next post for sure!
