New ELF Products

Hello Everyone! I was scrolling through the ELF website (like I'm sure all of you naturally do) and saw some new and interesting products! Just thought I would share some of those with you today. Enjoy!


Beautifully Bare 3-in-1 Makeup Base is a new product that claims to prime the skin, brighten and refine the appearance. It has Acai, Grapeseed oil, and Vitamin C and E. It is $10 a pop which, to me, seems expensive for an Elf product but, it does contain good skincare ingredients.
Beautifully Bare Lightweight Concealer Stick claims to conceal dark circles and imperfection the a silky, creamy formula. It unfortunately only comes in 4 different shades. For me, ELF typically is too dark even with the fairest shades. ELF also doesn't run deep enough either but, they may add shades later. Unlike the Makeup Base above, this will only set you back a mere 4 dollars.


Micellar Cleansing Water claims to cleanse the skin an remove makeup. The bottle contains 5.0 fluid ounces for $7. I think this is quite high considering Garnier's micellar water costs about the same this elf one and contains 13.5 fluid ounces of product. I really love Garnier's formula better and recommend you check that out first.

Beautifully Bare Finishing Powder claims to be a lightweight powder that will give some coverage while mattifying the skin and minimizing imperfections. This comes with a powder puff and a mirror. This will cost you $6.

ELF revamped their Daily Hydration Moisturizer with a new, limited edition one containing SPF 15. Just make a note that if enough people like this, they will make it permanent, This happened with their 4 pan illuminating palette. It was originally a limited edition product and then ELF saw that so many people like it, they brought it back for good. This product cost $7.



Lastly, the Precision Sponge Trio is Elf's take on the beauty blender. Comes with a large sponge meant for blending foundation, a medium meant for contour or blush and a small meant blend hard to reach places like inner corner concealer. It is latex free in case you were wondering. It costs $12 for the set.

Well that's it! I'd love to hear if you have tried out any of the products or plan on trying them!

In case you didnt't know, Ipsy is a beauty subscription that costs $10 a month and includes 5 full or sample sized products. This subscription will have you take a survey in order to tailor your experience more. I like Ipsy but, it is not my favorite subscription by any means. I prefer Boxycharm or Sephora Play!

Happy Shopping!

Walmart Beauty Box Summer 2016

Walmart Beauty Box is a subscription box that is delivered once every season for $5 including shipping. This is one of the cheapest subscription boxes around so if you aren't sure about subscription boxes, this would be a good one to try.


Vaseline Intensive Care Advanced Repair Unscented Lotion (Value: $0.70) is a nice lotion that absorbs quickly and is unscented so if you are sensitive to that, this may be a nice option for you. I am traveling pretty soon so it is nice to have this with me.

St. Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub (Value: $0.58) is the non blemish prone version which means it does not contain Salicylic Acid. So, this would be a good option for dry skin that still want a gentle exfoliation.

Eucerin In- Shower Moisturizer (Value: $0.19) is a very similar product to the Nivea In-Shower Body lotion. I perfer Nivea as they have a version for Very Dry Skin with Almond Oil. This still is not a bad product. I just prefer body butter first and then the Nivea version.



Arm & Hammer Truly Radiant Clean and Fresh (Value: $1.33) is a nice travel sized toothpaste to take on a trip. This claims to whiten teeth in five days and I believe it does. I could not find a link to this online so I believe this may be new.





Sally Hansen Airbush Legs (Value: $1.80) is a makeup to put on your legs to make them look flawless. I have been too scared to try this product because it is in medium and I am pale as the winter's snow. So, I know it won't match me skin tone. But, it is interesting that this is water resistant so you may be able to put this before the beach or pool and not have to worry,


Schwarzkopf Essence Ultimate Diamond Color and Radiance Shampoo and Conditioner (Value:$1.75 together) have a really weird baby powder and fragrance smell. I don't have color treated hair so this shampoo isn't meant for me anyway but, I find the fragrance to be off putting and the shampoo is not bad but, not my favorite either.


Lady Gaga Fame (Value: $0.20) is a Black Liquid Perfume. I find this scent to be more on the spicy side rather than floral. I like it but, I prefer more sweet, floral fragrances like Juicy Couture's Viva La Juicy Noir. 


All in all, this had a nice assortment of products to travel with for the summer. I wish there was a way to customize skin tone because that would maximize your sample usage. The total value for the box is $6.25 which is not bad. I have gotten Walmart Beauty Boxes not worth more than the cost so that is something to note. For $5 though, I can't really complain.

What did you think? I would love to know your thoughts!

Colourpop Launches New Metallic Satin Lippies

I've got some exciting news to share! Colourpop has expanded their line to fully Mettallic shades! On Snapchat yesterday, the team shared that they will be launching 4 shades (Zebra,ManEater, 3-way, Kween) of the metallic liquid lipsticks. If you are familiar with the Ultra Satin Lip formula then you know what to expect from this new product. They are much more comfortable than a liquid lipstick that dries down matte but, they are not kiss proof and will wear off with time. Like all of the other Ultra Satin and Ultra Matte formulas, these will cost $6.


    




These will be available tomorrow 6/23 at 3pm PST. Are you excited? Will you be picking all, some or one of these shades? Love to hear your thoughts! 

July 2016 Ipsy Sneak Peek

Hello everyone! Today I have an Ipsy sneak peak for the month of July 2016! Below is the sneak peek! As of right now, Ipsy is running a promotion to skip the waitlist and get a bag for July 2016. I personally am not subscribed to Ipsy as I found it would send me products I didn't want (such as an excess of black eyeliner) but, if you are still subscribed, it looks like there is a great assortment of products you might get.

Each subscriber will get one of these products above!
