E.L.F. Studio and Covergirl Smokyshadowblast

E.L.F. Haul I received in the mail today! I was super pumped to tear into this and try it all out. I spent 20 bucks for all of this including shipping. That's a good deal right there ;)

I had never tried their Studio brand. Glad I did. I was really impressed with the packaging and the variety of products. I'm going to just focus on a few of these today so this post won't get obsessively long.
Lip Liner in Natural- Very soft texture, easy to apply with a nice brush attached.

Minty Lip Gloss- shade Houston. The scent was nice. Goes on smooth, not sticky. The color is a sheer, dark pink with a bit of glitter in it. I paired it with the lip liner above.
The Primer- goes on lighter than concealer would, not cakey. Good base for lip stick. The Plumping balm smells like cinnamon and tingles. Like!

A little random but I decided to try this out today.
Smokyshadowblast in Purple Plume - I applied the pink first and then the brown in the crease. I thought I would really like this. Since it would be one tool for a smoky eye and I'm always wanting quicker ways to do my makeup. The colors are not what I expected. It's not very purple at all. It's easy to mess up and smear the colors up on your eye and it creases.
As you can see in the pics, my eyes look very plain. Can't really see pink or purple. The pink end did not look good up to my brow bone like the box says to do. So, I used white to highlight.

Face- Revlon Photoready, ELF Complexion Perfection, ELF blush Fuchsia Fusion.


Lips- Houston Minty Lip Gloss
I let my hair dry naturally since I just had a lazy day of lunch and Hobby Lobby with my sister. I did flat iron my bangs because they just look weird curly!
Happy Weekend!
