Products I Regret Buying 3.0

I said this before and I will say it again.


I do not like E.L.F nail polishes and I will not purchase them ever again.


I bought loads of products from E.l.f such as their bronzer, blushes, glosses and lipsticks. I was really impressed with all of them, but definitely not the polishes.

I'll give you SIX reasons why I hate their polishes:


> bad quality nail polish brush (it sheds and it's too thin)
can u spot the ugly brush hair sticking out of the pink nail polish brush?

> too watery or too goopy consistency(what I mean is that I bought3 polishes from them and when I tried them on, the pink and lilac are too watery and the blue one..well..too goopy!)

> the lids/caps won't close properly(I have a photo below to show you what I mean)

> streaky when applied

> needs at least 3-4 coats or sometimes even 5(yikes!)

> and the worst part is that they will have this white base if you do not use them. I tried shaking the bottle several times, but nothing happens. I have couple of Revlon polishes that I haven't used for a year now, but they don't accumulate white stuffs underneath. Can someone explain this to me?

NOTE: all three of them have white stuffs accumulating underneath

The only good thing about these ELF polishes is that it is only a DOLLAR.

So, my conclusion? No more ELF polishes for me.

Do you have ELF nail polishes? What do you think?

Have a good week :)

Products for November

Hi ladies and gents

It's Halloween! What's your Halloween costume? I will be a girl scout. :)

I just realized I post less and less every month. :( I will try my best to post every other day next month! :)

Anyways its the end of October! wow this month was QUICK! Fall is almost over and the Holiday season is coming right up. Time for some sparkles and gift shopping. I love Holidays because I want to shop for Christmas presents.

A lot of things happened this month- good and bad, but I will go on with my life and just be thankful for what I have and who I have in my life. Well, forget the sermon, let's go with the products I'm talking about.

I will start off with lips, eyes, and then face.

LIPS:

so for this month, I will return to the usual nude lips. I love bold lips for winter, but I will always go back to nude. So here they are, MAC Hue lipstick and Smashbox Lip Enhancing Gloss in Pout.

Right: Smashbox Pout

EYES:

You know me, I LOVE eyeliners. I can't leave the house without eyeliner, so I will still be using the same eyeliner as before.

Here is MAC Superslick liquid eyeliner from the MAC fabulous Feline collection

and my all time fave liquid eyeliner which is Kat Von D tattoo Liner in trooper. I recommend everyone to get this! I finished three of these already. Im really impressed with it.

An eyeshadow base is a must for winter.

Here is MAC Bare Study. I always use Painterly for the last three-four months, but now I will give bare Study a try.

So for the month of November, I decided that I will start using eyeshadows again. So here are my favorite eyeshadows..and they are all Neutral.

NYX Single Eyeshadow in Champagne- very similar to MAC All That Glitters.

CHEEKS:

For blushes I decided tat I will try MAC Dame(Left) and the ever so versatile MAC Well Dressed(Right).Swatch for the blushes

I want to try MAC Skin Finish Natural in Dark, but I think this will be too orange on my skin. So I decided that I will apply NARS Laguna on top.

NARS Laguna Bronzer- HIT PAN!

NYX Review plus a small ELF haul

Hey Ladies,

This will be a small review and a haul as well. Hope you guys enjoy this one.

NYX-I got the NYX eyeshadows for 20% off from a local drugstore. YAY for discounts. When it comes to NYX single eyeshadows I don't know if I like them or not because they are a bit too powdery and soft, but very pigmented. I guess it's worth it because of the color payoff. Which good right? I heard great reviews for their eyeshadow palettes tho. NYX has a huge variety of eyeshadows, but you guys know me I love my neutrals. So I got Champagne and Fahrenheit. You can buy NYX cosmetics at Cherry Culture - http://cherryculture.com/ . They also carry Milani, L.A. Colours, etc. I'm still waiting for my recent purchase of Narcissus and Acapulco lipsticks tho. I've been waiting for a month now. Does it really take them that long to ship internationally? Does anyone know? because this is my first time so yea. =) thanks

I really like Fahrenheit and Champagne together, they're match mates in Heaven. =) Fahrenheit has a reddish tome to it, with a little gold reflects, while Champagne is All That Glitters, but less gold. So I think It would be a great dupe for All That Glitters from MAC. You can def. use both of these eyeshadows alone and still look fab. I really recommend trying these two out.

NYX- FAHRENHEIT NYX- CHAMPAGNE

Swatch- Fahrenheit and Champagne

Here is the 5 shadow palette.

I Dream Of Nevis

The swatch of I Dream Nevis palette. I do not reach this palette that often. I really like the darker brown color at the bottom tho. Does anyone own this palette too? tell me how to use them.thanks. I basically just use the brown one to line my lower lash line. I can't really say if I would recommend this, but I would try to make it work for me first before I recommend it.

ELF

I looove this eyeshadow. It's called saddle. It's $3. Super worth the money. pigmented, nice packaging, has a mirror, neutral. This is my first eyeshadow from them. You can pair this up with almost every shadow you own. It has a satin finish to it, so it has a sheen, but not shimmer. That's why I like this.

Have you guys purchased any ELF eyeshadow from their studio line? what do you guys recommend? I wanted to buy Wheat, but I'm not sure if its a pretty colour.

The pretty swatch of ELF- Saddle eyeshadow from their studio line.

Tell me what Eyeshadows from NYX and ELF are pretty and worth the money, would love to hear from you guys. thanks! comment below.

xoxo, Kim
