ELF Haul

I've been on a roll with these hauls. I need to stop! But, I kinda don't want to. Hmmm. Any who! I ordered some stuff from ELF and although I'm missing two items ( because they messed up my order :/ ) the products are great quality for what you pay for.

So far I'm really loving the bronzer palette ( each color is interchangeable), I looooove the face massager (ahhhh) , and I'm super excited to try out the cleaning gel (I'm obsessed with oil/gel cleansers).

Now those HD blushes, OMG, can we say pig-men-teeeeddddd honey. Yassss. I don't know what the wear time would be for these, but the lawd Jeheesus is my savior, these things are pigmented. I'd imagine a long wear. Seems like a great dupe for the the MUFE HD blushes.

Some of the items were free with a $25 purchase, such as the translucent powder, the lip balm, retractable brush, cream pot eyeshadow, and liner (which is surprisingly pigmented and smooth)

I'm gonna go play with my goodies now!

Nars Guy Bourdin

This palette is not necessarily a must have, but it is definitely worth it for the amount of product you receive for your money. This was just a tiny haul that I did. This soap and glory hand food has been a staple favorite of mine for a while now. It's smells beautiful, and does exactly what I need it to do without being too greasy. 

Now, back to this blush palette. :). You receive six .14 oz. of product in each pan. I bought the 

palette for about $65. Not bad considering each full sized palette individually costs about $29 bucks a pop. The colors, as with all of nars blushes are all pigmented and have great 

color payoff. I think every company does this thing where they have a popular item that everyone buys and then they just repeat that favorite color or item in every palette they come out with :/ *blank stare*. The COLORS in 

this case would be laguna and orgasm. Don't get me wrong, they are beautiful, but you can't be that lazy to not want to come up with something else and then just repeat a staple classic color. With that being said the colors and their descriptions are as follows:

Devotee (highlighter)

Mistinguette (bubblegum pink)

Deep throat ( slightly shimmery peach )

Laguna (bronze with slight gold shimmer)

Orgasm (peachy pink with gold shimmer)

Goulue (medium pink)

I have worn the palette a couple of times but I'm so horrible with pictures! I forget to take pictures at parks even when I know I meant to specifically take pictures and the camera is in 

my hand! When I do remember ( if ever). I give this palette an A. Just because I like it, duh.

Do any of you have this palette? How do you like it? What do you like most? Like least? Comment below! Mwah! :* xoxoxo 

P.s. I know I have a.d.d. y'all. 

So if my posts confuse you because they're so choppy. .. ummm, I'm sorry :) :*

NYX Rouge Cream Blush

NYX Rouge cream blush is a perfect alternative to any prestige cosmetic cream blush. My moto is to find any and all dupes in NYX. I don't use MAC lip pencils unless it's exclusive to MAC and can't be found elsehwere. Face powders, lipstick,you name it! NYX is my go to drugstore brand. These blushes are very creamy and EXTREMELY PIGMENTED. The red pink color is called red cheeks and the soft orange color is called, welp, orange. They apply easily and aren't sticky or tacky. They would be used great as a base for a powder blush as well. The orange color is very well suited on women of color. Being that I love bright colors the red cheeks color is perfect for me! I must warn that it is so easy to over kill this color. It's that serious! I haven't tried these bushes on for a full day, so I can't comment on staying power. From the looks of it, I'm pretty hopeful it will go above and beyond for what is worth.

Tarte's Fantastic Foursome Amazonian clay 12-hour blush enthusiast set

From left to right: Stellar, Angelic, Magic, Fantastic

From top to bottom: Stellar, Angelic, Magic, Fantastic

Picked this up on Sephora.com. I was lucky to have seen this, because I have ADD and I bypass so many things unless it TRULY catches my eye. I kind of "scan" things with my eyes when I shop, because I don't have the patience to sift through EVERYTHING. I do this regardless if I'm shopping online or in-store. I do love shopping though, don't get me wrong. I'm addicted to blushes, especially Tarte blushes. This set comes with 3 blushes and one highlighter ( they call the highlighter a blush, but it's a damn highlighter, I hate when companies do that). Boy are these babies pigmented. You are getting a really good deal, as one full sized blush runs you about $25. Although these blushes are not full size (about half the size of the full size, Full is .20 oz half is .10 oz) you are definitely getting your monies worth. Not only that, but these babies should last you a pretty long time. I have them swatched below on my NC45 skintone. I'm deeply in love with stellar, fantastic, and angelic. You might as well say I'm deeply in love with them all! Fantastic is nice, but it's an all to common color for me. That highlighter though is the BIZZZZZZNASSS. I love it, love it, love it! It will go well with many skin tone and gives your skin a more than gorgeous glow. Be careful, an dip your brush lightly or you will look like a shimmery mess, I remind you again, these blushes are pigmented. Definitely go cop this set for you and a friend for Christmas, because it is the shiznit, and you will not be disappointed. I totes love it! Rawr! Yes.... I am a Leo if you were wondering...
