2nd Order From ELF

Fact: I bought $15 worth of ELF stuff two years ago - their products are definitely some of the earliest make up I've ever gotten!

Fact: They had a promo of free shopping from purchases $10 and over... and I couldn't resist!! There were a few things I really wanted to have.

So it finally arrived after a week of shipping. So excited!!!!






First of all, I have been wanting these two brushes for the longest time!!! But that darn Powder Brush is always always sold out. So when I saw that it was in stock, I was like "baby - come to mama". And I have also been wanting to get this angled brush for gel liners and such. When I opened them up, they had the strong chemical smell so I washed them with baby shampoo. Now, they both smell like lavender!! Pretty huh. So far, very soft, very nice, very sturdy, very professional looking. I am a satisfied mama indeed!



I also got the Zit Zapper (which I am using right now! Put it straight to work) and so far... I don't know the result yet... ha ha. I'll let you know. It does have a smell but that's because it has camphor in it and that can smell pretty strongly. But it really doesn't bother me. It has 1% salicylic acid which is the active ingredient and it also has tea tree oil and other good stuff in there. Hopefully this will work - I mean for $1!! Wouldn't that be great?

I also grabbed the Mineral Eyeshadow Primer - I know I know - I already have the $1 one and the UDPP but I have been wanting this for a long long time and it was always out of stock too!! This was my only chance I thought.

And finally the Shimmering Facial Whip was a gift for recommending 3 people. I got it in citrus. I also have one in lilac petal and I might just do some sorta overall review... if I ever do! I feel like I always plan to review stuff but then I just don't know what to say... SIGH SIGH!



This was a gift for me because of the promo and I got the Cream Liner in Ivory. First off, it's not a cream white - it is shimmery... so that will be kinda cool for highlighting and as a shadow base too. It doesn't feel gel like - sorta cream like... I guess, I don't know. The texture wasn't what I expected... it isn't like my WnW one. Hard to explain - maybe once I play around with it more I'll know what to say.

I was hoping they gave me one in black/brown or something so I can use my angled brush but oh well! Can't expect too much since it is free.

But yeah, that's pretty much it. I didn't go too crazy. I bought $10 worth and nothing more, nothing less! I'm so excited for the brushes that I got and definitely the primer.

I don't know why I always write late at night because I probably don't even make sense! But...

Have a great night :) Sleep tight and thanks for reading.

  2. Nice haul! I'm super interested in that Zit Zapper too!!! The ingredients are so similar to the Benefit Boo Boo Zap (that one's $20! and doesn't have tea tree oil!) which I'm using right now, would love to find a cheaper alternative, especially at the rate I'm going through it!
