e.l.f cosmetics part 2!!!!

Here's the rest of my e.l.f. order.

Lips

                                 From top to bottom-  Lucky Lady, Mysterious, First Date
Studio Lip Stain- 
Price- $3 (Paid $1.50) 

So these are suppose to be a long- lasting lip color but they are not. I am very disappointed, they are transparent when applied. Also they are not long lasting. But hey for the price I can't complain!!!!!  The colors are pretty and very close to what they look like in the bottle, but you do have to apply it a few times to achieve the color. There are many other expensive lip stains that do not give the results they claim. 

From left to right- Nice & Natural, Peaceful Pink, Mellow Melon 

Conditioning Lip Balm- 

Price- $3 (Paid $1.50)

So let me first say I was impressed with the size of these, they bring a very generous amount (especially for $1.50). I really like these because they feel nice on the lips and have a nice color. However, I am disappointed with Nice & Natural because it gives my lips no color just some shine. I was expecting a nude color but got nothing, In the photo it looks darker than what it is in person. Maybe it just doesn't give my lips color might work on someone with a darker lip. ( I'll try and find out). But I wish it did work because I really like the color. But I can just use it as a gloss. I would definitely recommend these. 

Eyes

Endless Eyes Pro Eyeshadows Palette (100 colors)

Price-$3 (Paid $1.50)

Before receiving this I was impressed, 100 eyeshadows for $5 bucks, like seriously!!! Even at regular price is super cheap. You can't even get one eyeshadow from other make-up brands. I used it for the first time yesterday and the pigment was great, I will do a more detailed review as I use it and put up swatches. But I think everyone should get one of these. 

Face

Blush- 

Price- $3 ( Paid $1.50)

                               Mellow Mauve- I haven't used it yet. I will put up a review when I do.

Gotta Glow- Love it!!! Awesome highlighter with gold in it. 

                                 
Until next time,

Where is the light??

I was going to put up the Unripened post today, but the sunlight is just not on my side today. It is super cloudy and I need some natural light to capture the glitter in the polish. Hopefully the sun comes out and I'll try to get some good shots. Either way, there will be a new post up later, so check back!!

e.l.f. Cosmetics (Eyes Lips Face)

So I had mentioned before I had ordered a few things from e.l.f. cosmetics. Let me just say I am very impressed with my order. Of course I am also very happy because I used the 50% off code (studio collection)!! Can't get any better than that. The order came super quick and very neatly packaged. I was very surprised and impressed because it came packaged MUCH better than higher makeup brands.

So here it goes!!! (All of the products I will mention are from the e.l.f. studio collection).

Face Brushes 

11 piece brush set 
Price: $30 (I got it for $15 with the code)

The brush set brings 10 pieces and a little pouch. It also brings a little booklet describing each brush which is very useful for beginners.  Each brush is also labeled with what it is used for.

Complexion Brush- 
Price: $3 (Paid $1.50)
Used to apply powders all over the face, blush or bronzer.

Fan Brush-
Price: $3 (Paid $1.50)
Used to dust  off any fall out make up, or applying loose powder.

Angled Foundation Brush- 

Price: $3 (Paid $1.50)

Used to apply liquid foundation and gives a flawless application. 

Powder Brush- 

Price: $3 (Paid $1.50)

Used to apply powder for a full coverage, blush or conturing. 

Blush Brush- 

Price: $3 (Paid $1.50)

Used to apply blush or bronzer. 

This are all the face brushes that I listed above. Here you can see the shape and compare them from one another. 

All the five faces brushed came in a plastic case which is great to keep the brushes shape and from getting messed up . I was surprised that they brought this because none of my expensive brushes brought any of this.

Eye Brushes

Small Smudge Brush- 

Price: $3 (Paid $1.50)

Used to blend or smudge eyeliner or to blend shadow for a smokey eye. 

Contour Brush- 

Price: $3 (Paid $1.50)

Used to blend shadow, add definition and get a more concentrated color. 

Eyeshadow "C" Brush-

Price: $3 (Paid $1.50)

Used apply eyeshadow for a  more opaque color. 

Small Angled Brush- 

Price: $3 (Paid $1.50)

Used for eyeliner, precise lines, or filling in eyebrows. 

Small Precision Brush- 

Price: $3 (Paid $1.50)

Used to create thin lines, precise coverage, concealer, or lip color. 

I have yet to use this brushes so I will be doing reviews on each brush as I use them. So far, I have to say I am very impressed because they are very soft and seem to be of good quality. They are also vegan!!!

OPI Sanguine!

So I am usually not a red polish fan, but this changed my mind.

This is an amazing dark, garnet type color and it was beautiful. I have to admit that after I put it on, it did take me a little while to get used to and when I did I fell in love. In the picture I have on 2 coats, but I probably could have gone with 3. Also, I didn't use a top coat because it was pretty glossy as is, but I think I really should have. I felt like the glossy finish kind of faded after a few days and the top coat would have helped retain it.

Seriously though I wish I had this color for my senior prom. I had red polish, but this one would have been 100x more awesome.

The application is good as long as you have enough polish on the brush and the formula is great. It dries pretty fast, which I was pleasantly surprised about.

I really wanted to do a lacey looking Konad stamp over this color, I thought it would look awesome. But when I tried, the color was just too dark and you really couldn't see the black stamp over it. I might try it with a brighter red or a white and I'll probably post it. Also, next I'm going to put up Unripened ( I was most excited about that one out of the whole collection).

On a side note, everyone seriously needs to check out http://www.scrangie.com/. She posted the new Illamasqua collection for Valentines day. The collection itself is decent, nothing really special, but the promo pick is effing RIDICULOUSLY AMAZING. I'm kind of in love with it. So definitely check that out!!

Another break from Fashion; Investigation with GHI

the Ghost Hunters International team.

I spent the entire past weekend with the team from the show "Ghost Hunters International." The team consists of Kris Williams, Barry Fitzgerald, Paul Bradford, Joe Chin, Susan Slaughter, and Britt Griffith. Chip Coffey from "Psychic Kids" and "Paranormal State" was also at the event, along with Bill Murphy from "Fact or Faked: Paranormal Files." This event took place in Batavia, NY and included an investigation at Rolling Hills Asylum in East Bethany. Rolling Hills was featured on the shows "Ghost Hunters" and "Ghost Adventures."
Three days consisted of this event, with the first night being a meet-and-greet and Q&A session. Following the Q&A was... karaoke time! I left before all of the team sang karaoke, but I sure got my share. I dedicated it to my friends Britt Griffith & Aaron Sagers just for the heck of it. Take a listen!







The second day was filled with lectures with the investigation at night, and the third day was more lectures. Many laughs filled the room all weekend during the lectures, especially the Q&A. At least I found out that Chip owns a million scarves and graphic tees, and Barry actually takes off his hat! The investigation was literally freezing, but was worth every second. Many people claimed to have personal experiences, but I unfortunately did not. I did get a few K2 & Maglite hits, but other than that, nothing extreme happened. This was my third event with the Ghost Hunters crew. I investigated Eastern State Penitentiary in Philly back in April with Jason Hawes, Grant Wilson, Kris, Chip, and Britt. I also investigated Buffalo Central Terminal in May with Steve Gonsalves and Dave Tango, also from "Ghost Hunters Academy."

Here are some pictures from this weekend!

I always have such a blast at these events. I can't wait until the next time I can go. They're so much fun, and these people are always so wonderful and down to Earth. I advise anyone to investigate with them.... if you dare.

OPI Obscurity!

This is the first one of the OPI Go Goth minis that I decided to try. I really like the idea of matte nail polishes, I have for a while, and I was excited to try the matte black. 

Because of the flash, it looks like the polish has more shine than it does in real life. I really loved this polish in general. The formula was great and the application was super smooth as long as you had enough polish on the brush. There were no streaks and it was really easy to cover up any mistakes and flaws. This picture was taken 3 days after the application and it really hadn't started chipping yet. Obviously, there was no top coat because that would void the matte finish. The only downside to this was that because it is in a mini bottle, the applicator is shorter and can be a little harder to manipulate. 

Since I put this on I've really been liking the black matte look and my obsession for Manglaze has been rekindled. I'm definitely getting some soon, probably Matte is Murder and Fuggen Ugly. When I get those I'll do a side by side comparison. 

Also, I'll be trying out and putting up the other Go Goths.

Until next time,
