E.L.F Nail Polish- Final Round

The last two polishes I have are glitters, Chic Confetti and Gold Star. I wore these over the colors I posted yesterday.




On my pointer and middle finger is Chic Confetti,  a multi colored mixture of tiny and small round glitters.
On my ring and pinky finger is Gold Star, a gold colored with tiny and small glitters although a little bigger than Chic Confetti.



I really like them both. I do however dread taking them off later! I know there are things I can do to make it easier but it still is no fun.

E.L.F Nail Polish- Round Three

This time we have Red-y-or Not, Violet Velvet, Sea Escape, and Cherry Bomb.



Again I am impressed with how well this polish goes on.
Red-y- or Not is on my pointer finger. It is a very pretty red.
Violet Velvet is on my middle finger. It is a gorgeous deep purple.
Sea Escape on my ring finger is a REALLY dark blue with subtle shimmer. However you have to go into some pretty bright sunlight to see it.
Cherry Bomb on my pinky is a deep darkish red.

Sorry for not having a perfect cleanup!


I like all four of these colors and will more than likely purchase full size versions. I may need to have the husband build a polish rack for me. yeah!

E.L.F Nail Polish- Round Two

The next set of four will be Green Machine, Dazzle Diva, Misty Haze, and Blushing Beauty.



Green Machine on my pointer finger is a really dark green. At first glance someone might even think it was black.
Dazzle Diva on my middle finger is a gorgeous shimmery ice blue. I really like this one.
Misty Haze on my ring finger is a plain grey. Not really a fan of this color. Kinda blah.
Blushing Beauty on my pinky is a shimmery gold with a touch of pink to it. Blush in the name is correct. It is a   pretty color.



Again these all cover good with one coat. No lines or streaks.
I can see me buying Dazzle Diva and Blushing Beauty in full sizes.
I am wearing two coats of each to show more opacity.

E.L.F Nail Polish- Round One

As I posted before. I got this great little gift cube of mini e.l.f polish.  I am going to start swatching them for you. This first round are the 4 brown shades.
Glamour Girl,Smokey Brown, Desert Haze, and Taupe of the World. As much as I like earth tones, I have never bought a brown shade of polish. I really like these.
This is also my first time applying this brand and so far I really like it. You could get away with just one coat if you wanted.



I used two coats of each. They look better in person. I need to find some better lighting. The weirdness/ ridges you see is just strange shadowing. This polish went on beautifully with no streaking or lines.

Glamour Girl, on my pointer finger has a little shimmer/ glitter to it.
Smokey Brown, on my middle finger is a deep dark chocolaty brown.
Desert Haze. on my ring finger is my least favorite of the brown colors.
Taupe of the World (Love the name!), on my pinky is also a rich dark brown but a couple shades lighter than the Smokey Brown.


As I was thinking of ways to describe the colors, coffee and chocolate kept coming to mind. Nice colors of you like brown nail polish.

If Frankenstorm Sandy doesn't knock out my power or internet...I will swatch them for you on Monday.

E.L.F Brand cosmetics

I have heard several good things about this brand recently. It wasn't until the husband and I went to Target to find some liquid eyeliner for Halloween that I found out it could be purchased at a drug store. The prices shocked me. $1.00 for most things! I could have really bought a lot but I was good.

What I did get was The High Definition Powder, the Daily Brush Cleaner, a Matte Lip Color, and two different eyeliners.



 
I decided the try the eyeliners this morning. One on each eye. 
One is a liquid eyeliner. I do not really like applying these. The little tiny brush is fine, I do not like the wet feel of the eyeliner. The other is a waterproof eyeliner pen.(felt). I like they way this one applies a lot better. You can also get a smudged smokey look easier with the pen.

I have been wearing these for 2 hours and both have run under my eye. Not badly but there is some liner settled under my eyes. I did not set them with powder or anything. All I had on my face was Estee Lauder BB cream, so maybe that caused it to happen. This is the same problem I have with most liners. Thankfully these were just bought to draw on my kids face for Halloween.
I will stick with my Inglot gel liner.

Product Description- e.l.f. High Definition Powder
The e.l.f. High Definition Powder is a translucent, versatile loose powder that creates a flawless, "soft focus" effect to the skin. Masks fine lines and imperfections for a glowing, radiant complexion. This incredibly soft and invisible powder is ideal for everyday wear, either alone or over your favorite e.l.f. foundation. Our HD Powder is a makeup artist and e.l.f. customer favorite, and at only $6, it can be yours at a fraction of the cost of the competition.

I have been using this for several days and I really like the soft matte it gives my face. It seems to do exactly what is says it suppose to do. Can't beat the cost either! 

The brush cleaner works great. Pretty basic cleaner. Spray it on and swipe your brush on a cloth to clean it, let it air dry.

Product Description- Studio Matte Lip Color- Rich Red
This convenient jumbo sized lip pencil creates exact color application with twist up ease so you never have to sharpen. The pigment rich color glides on effortlessly and easily to provide long lasting matte color. The enriched Vitamin A, C & E formula moisturizes and hydrates lips for beautiful healthy looking lips.








I like Matte lip colors better because I do not tend to lick and rub my lips together as much with them. This brand lasts  several hours even with me drinking fluids constantly. I look forward to purchasing more colors.
