ELF Mineral Shadow Swatches!

Hello Upsessers! 

Today's post is a continuation of my most recent ELF (eyeslipsface) haul! The other week ELF held a sale if you spent $30 you could pick 10 of their mineral eyeshadows for free! I have done this before when they ran this sale earlier in the year and when they did it again I was like HECK YES! I LOVE LOVE these shadows! The pigmentation is great, long lasting formula and I have seen no creasing! If you have not tried these yet you must get on it! You will not be sorry, even if you missed the sale at the small price tag of $3 for a .03 oz jar, it is money well spent! In today's post I have 4 out of the 10 I selected. I will post the other 6 during the week and if you are interested in the previous ten I already own let me know IN THE COMMENTS!
Innocent: Matte vanilla white I would compare this to MAC Blanc Type eyeshadow
Elegant: Such an amazing color its shimmery white with gorgeous golden flecks the first swatch pic doesn't do it justice but I amped up the flash as you can see in the third pic down and there you can see the amazing sparkle it has!
Celebrity: A very pretty bronzey, gold high shimmer (but not with fall out) and is beautiful foiled!
Caffeinated: Dark cool tone brown with a golden undertone. Super unique! Love this foiled or great for you to use to deepen out the crease!
PS. My next EOTD post will be of a look I did with all 4 of these colors! So make sure to look for it! You can also follow all of my EOTD on my instagram: makeupsessedwithali

ELF Haul Pt.1 Face!

Hello Upsessers!

Today's post is the start of my new Eyes Lips Face (ELF) haul! If you have not heard of this site yet, you have NO IDEA what your missing! Eyes Lips Face is a online makeup store that carries GREAT QUALITY makeup at LOW PRICES a ton of things starting at ONE DOLLAR! I have ordered from this site hundreds of times and I have NEVER been disappointed! I will make sure to link their site at the end of the post so all of you can take advantage of their great deals! This post will relate to everything "face" I got in this order. 

ELF HD Blush in Superstar is a beautiful insanely pigmented true pink. It reminds me of when I was little and Tickle Me Pink was my favorite Crayola Crayon it's like the exact color. 

ELF HD Blush in Headliner is a super pigmented baby pink with a violet/lavender undertone. 

What I love about both of these is how little product it takes to get such great pay off. Both of the swatches below is just one teeny pump! Retails online for $3.00 each. **I now own all the HD blushes if you are interested swatches of the other colors let me know in the comments!**

ELF Contouring & Bronzing Cream! Another amazing find at ELF! I already own the powder duo of this set and I love it and I have been looking for a creamy contour color everywhere and I finally found it at ELF! The blush is a very pretty peachy pink with no shimmer. And the bronzer/contour color is a very cool tone light brown again with no shimmer. Needless to say I LOVE IT! It is soooo creamy, sooo pigmented, and I love that the color is light to start and very buildable! This only comes in one shade called St. Lucia, so for you darker skinned beauties this is a buildable formation so don't let the light color keep you from trying it out! Retails online for $3.00 each!

Next up! ELF Studio Blush in Gotta Glow. Now for all you girls like me craving after NARS Albatross, with a not big enough budget, this is an answer to your prayers! It is a gorgeous candle light goldeny glow soo pretty I can't even put it into words! Retails online for $3.00 each.

Last but certainly not least! ELF's new Maximum Coverage Concealer! I was super excited when I seen this one but I am a concealer lover and I feel like I have tried every drug store, high end concealer out there and still haven't found the "perfect" one. But this concealer I purchased in the color Porcelain which is the lightest shade is really nice for the $3.00 price tag! It's super creamy and goes on so smooth and not drying or cakey at all, like some fuller coverage concealers are. Below I put in a picture with the concealer applied to half my hand. I just scrubbed all the other swatches off my hand so I wanted to see how well this concealer covered redness and the blueness of my veins since I will be applying it to my under eye circles. And I can say confidently this may be my new favorite concealer!
