Hi loveys! I ordered some things off ELF (www.eyeslipsface.com) a bit over a week ago, and my shipment arrived about two days ago, so it's haul time! I ordered a few brushes, polishes, one of those jumbo eyeshadows, a baked blush, a neutral palette, and the eyebrow kit! I'll review the products in this post, too :)



Essential Nail Polish - $2.00 (Mint, Coral Dream, Mint -_-, Bubble Gum Pink)
These nail polishes have really cute packaging, I don't know why they're dirty -_- but it doesn't bother me much. I ordered two mint colors by mistake. The difference between Coral & Bubble Gum Pink is that the Coral has gold-ish undertones that show in the light. and I LOVE IT! The Bubble Gum Pink looks lighter in the photo on their website, so I guess it's not really true to color, but still cute!


I wanted to get the everyday palette rather than the neutral, but it was all out :( I wanted a palette with matte colors anyway, so I went ahead and got this one instead. The only downside to this palette is that the colors are very similar to each other. This is good for beginners who want neutral colors to practice with. It has both shimmery and matte colors, which is great! I find that these do last me a long time, so that's awesome too! :)


I really wanted to try one of these things, so I just got one for now. It doesn't show that much on my eye like it does on my hand, but I guess I'd use it as a creamy base. I wouldn't use this on its own. Maybe because I'm tan and this is a light color.. so I didn't get my hopes up when I purchased it. For me, it was kind of a disappointment :( but on the bright side, yay for swatches!


I didn't expect to like this as much as I do! I got this to use as a highlight, Nitraab on YouTube (she's fabulous, check her out!) recommended it and I love it! I use this on the high points of my cheekbones, bridge of my nose, and cupid's bow! This is a must have for me! And it's compact, so you can bring this guy with you for touch ups on the go!

This product has been raved about a lot, so I had to try it. Unfortunately, I'm not a big fan of it :( I don't know why! I like when my eyebrows are precise and defined, and I feel like this gives me a messier look. Maybe I shouldn't use the brush it comes with. If you use this, let me know how you like it! I guess I just like pencils better. It is very pigmented though.

Small Tapered Brush: OMG guys! I am loving this brush. It's perfect for contouring your cheekbones, nose, etc. It has the perfect pointed end that's not too harsh! And the brush is so soft.
Blending Eye Brush: The blending brush I had was not doing it for me. So this one was a huge upgrade! I love this brush. It blends out eyeshadow flawlessly. This is the perfecting blending brush!
Flawless Concealer Brush: So this brush worked well for concealing blemishes. But I wouldn't recommend using it for the undereyes. It came off a bit streaky.. I'd rather use my fingers. But for blemishes, dark spots, etc, this worked well!

That's it for my first haul guys! Please let me know if this was helpful, or if there is anything I should change! Hope this was informative, ladies! Have a lovely day,

NYC Smooth Skin Bronzing Face Powder in 720 Sunny -$2.99

 New - So packaging is better looking.

E.L.F Studio Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder - $3.00

 Old - so packaging is worn out.
Keep in mind that I use these products to contour, so that is how i'll review them! :)

Packaging: Both of these products are compact, you can keep them in your purse for on the go touch ups!

 They both contain mirrors inside, so that's a plus for both.

Shimmer VS Matte: The downside to E.LF is the shimmer! When contouring, you don't want shimmer, but it's very slight so it works for me! The NYC is matte, so that's a plus for NYC.
Long lasting? I found that ELF lasts me all day, whereas NYC lasts only a few hours. However, I do think this is because NYC is a bit light on my tan skin tone.
How it applies? I find that the NYC barely applies on my skin (again, probably because I'm tan).  I did have to go over my face a couple of times to get my desired pigment. Try ELF if you want more definition. ELF applies very well and is very pigmented.
Color: *My hand is darker than my face. However, I still find that the ELF shows up more on me. ELF is more brown, whereas NYC is more orange. I think if you are lighter than me, you should definitely try NYC. If you are more my skin tone, definitely ELF.
Right: ELF
Left: NYC 
Sorry it's kind of blurry guys I'm still getting used to this!
