1. My nephew Reese is the love of my life. This is the handsome 4-year-old I'm referring to:
2. I am a lush and love my wine.

My love for e.l.f. cosmetics runs deep and if you need to catch up on my past e.l.f. reviews, then take yourself here, here, here, here and here.
Most recently I discovered e.l.f.'s mineral eye shadow after I took advantage of an online promotion. Ten mineral eye shadows for only $10? I could not say no. It would have been unconstitutional.
 |
| All e.l.f. mineral makeup is 100% mineral based with no parabens, no preservatives and no chemical dyes. |
Here is how I looked. Please excuse my depressed expression. No, my dog did not just die.
Peace.
The bottom line here is that e.l.f. and I are still going strong and they put a spark back in our relationship with these mineral eye shadows. I have not seen them in Target, so you may want to check out their online specials if you want to scoop some up.
p.s. I'm no expert, but IMHO, a lot of the e.l.f. mineral colors look like dupes for Urban Decay's Naked palette. And obviously WAY cheaper. Just sayin.
i need to snatch up some of this. their matte colors never do well for me. maybe the mineral will work better. fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteand i'm pretty sure that face is not a face you would make if bear died.
I need to buy this!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE all of the colors that you chose, and the ones blended on your eyes compliment your face so much! I have a few ELF shadows that I've received as a gift and never opened..I'm going to go play in the mirror now! :)
ReplyDeletewelll I love ELF and next time there is a great promo like that let a sista know!
ReplyDeleteI love ELF! I have a couple of their brushes and a bronzer and it's seriously some of my favorite makeup!
ReplyDeleteOoooo... Love! I just have the regular ole' Christmas special eye shadow. I will DEF have to try this! YOu have turned me into an Elf fanatic.
ReplyDeleteI just bought blush and mascara on Sunday... Love it!
I LOVE e.l.f! I was SO close to placing an order recently to get those free 10 shadows and didn't make it in time. Thanks for the review! Now I NEED to get them:)
ReplyDeleteI love me some ELF but getting their emails in dangerous. They have sales so often that I'm tempted to buy things every single time! I've been on a break but these look so good I might have to order with the next sale.
ReplyDeleteI have one of these and love it. Must order more, I love some of yours and your mopey face! :)
ReplyDeleteSo good to know! I've always wondered about the ELF products because they're SO DANG CHEAP that I was terrified to try them. This post comes just in time too! I need to stock up on eyeshadow stat!
ReplyDeleteUm, reason number 52 why I like you...I watch EVERY tv show known to man. No joke...I have to keep a running list of which day is what just so I don't get confused...and my elf love came from you alone! I wish they carried more elf instore in my area.
ReplyDeleteI've used their first eye shadow that they came out with and was less than impressed but they sell the mineral ones at the targets near me but I've been waiting for them to get the grey back in stock! Love me some smoky eyes.
ReplyDeleteand ps. - I'm pretty sure we would be bff's in real life. We share very similar loves :)
Um elf should legit pay you for your review!!
ReplyDeleteI so want some now
Oh. I love it! :) & your depression look too!
ReplyDeleteLOVE ELF makeup! :) And I love the mineral eyeshadows too!
ReplyDeleteI have just discovered elf recently! I have had some hits and some misses! And my nephew is the love of my life:) I watch him Monday and Fridays after school and it's the best part of my week:)
ReplyDeleteSO GLAD you did a review on these mineral eye shadows because I wanted to try them out but I was worried they wouldn't be worth the trouble of ordering! Your eyeshadow looks GORGEOUS, dahling! Going to order some now! Thank you for your review! I love me some ELF (the makeup and the movie...tee hee hee)!
ReplyDeleteI've never tried the eyeshadow but I have their 1$ primer and it's great!

the swatch you did shows the colors to be super pigmented...not what id expect from e.l.f....so that is wonderful (since it's so cheap!) and it looks ravishinnnggg on you my darling.
ReplyDeleteim starting to develop a slight puppy crush on bear. i think my dog is getting jealous.
I wish I hadn't missed this promotion. I am wearing elf eyeshadow today! Not mineral, though. But after seeing your pics, I want the mineral palette!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the e.l.f. eyeshadows. And 10 for $10 is awesome! Where did you buy yours? Are they always 10 for $10...you mentioned a special deal?

Everyone is in love with ELF, I really need to get with the times and buy some!
ReplyDeleteThese def look like dupes for the Naked Palette...
ReplyDeletewhat would it cost me to hire you as my make-up artist. Maybe I could pay you in wine? I can not achieve a good eye shadow look to save my freaking life!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the mineral mascara!! Not such a fan of the regular eyeshadows! I'll have to try the mineral eyeshadows!!
ReplyDeleteGorg! --can you fly to fl and be my make up artist!?!? ;) please!!
ReplyDeleteDude, I'm a total lush. I love my wine. And I've got a pretty good relationship going wtih E.L.F. We have our moments though.
ReplyDeleteI got a little ELF kit with three mineral shadows & an eye shadow brush from Big Lots for $4. They're my fave for el smokey eye. I got a black, grey and white. They also had some really cool looking bright blues but I was afraid of looking like a drag queen.
ReplyDeleteBish- I need to find one of these immed. Also- Have you ever pondered how crazy you'll be towards any ill broad that tries to date Reese when he gets older? Bc I can't wait for those stories. ;)
ReplyDeleteIt is because of you that I love e.l.f! You are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOooo! I've always wanted to try that stuff! Girl you've just convinced me... lol
ReplyDeleteI love their mineral shadow too! It's sooo good for how cheap it is. It rivals some of my more expensive makeup.
ReplyDeletereese in those glasses...serious hipster/hearthrob in the making
ReplyDeletei think we are meant to be friends because i allllways put frozen berries into my wine! EXTRA FIZZY YA DIG!?!? if you're not in a wine mood, try them in sprite!! so yum
i must agree the elf mineral colors DO look like the Naked Palette. I cant justify spending that much on an eye palatte. But then again I did spend 35 on Too Faced natural eye palatte. DOYYYYYY
xoxox
So glad you did a review of these- I was wondering how you liked them. I think this is a purchase that needs to be made!
ReplyDeleteI'm down for cheaper! Just saying. ha. I'll definitely be checking this out. and seriously 10 for $10 you are right. Unconstitutional to pass that up.
ReplyDeleteHi! I was wondering what program you use to edit your photos? Like to add words to your pictures?
