Last Update of 2010

Yes - this will be my last post for 2010!! Can you believe that 2011 will be here in just a few short weeks?! With the holidays coming up and the crazy busy shopping going on, I've decided to make this my last post for the year. We're all busy and I think we can all take a break from blogging. We can resume our blogging craze after the New Year!! ^_^ *teehee*

Here is the 88 palette I purchased for about ~$10 (free shipping worldwide) and my quick review of what I think of it:

The silver color came in kinda shattered on the upper right hand, BUT for the price and no S/H fees - I can deal with it - plus I don't for-see myself using a lot of silver. The brown one that's got a chunk taken out was my fault - I accidentally hit it with the tip of my brush. T_T oh well!



So here's a quick review:
The pigmentation is medium pigmentation. The texture is not chalky and I can wear this for a good 4-8 hrs and the colors are still VERY visible. ^_^ I have never owned a Coastal Scent or Sedona Lace palette - sooooo I cannot do the compare for you.

Pigmentation: 3/5 chickens
Wear time: 4/5 chickens
Price: 5/5 chickens

Would I purchase this item again or a different color palette? yes - it's cause I'm cheap and I can deal with medium pigmentation. LOL

So if you want to go buy this palette or a 120 palette (or other stuff) - you can go to Buy In Coins. I found this site from DanaLaJeunesse a YT beauty guru. She's got some AWESOME looks - which I myself cannot achieve b/c she's just too AMAZING! lol But she did a review on a palette she bought from BIC and uses this palette to do her looks...for some reason - her palette is VERY pigmented vs mine. LOL Maybe she loads up her brush with the color? LOL But yup - that's where you can get it!

Okay moving on to my ELF haul:






I got:
3 Eyeshadow "C" Brushes from the Studio line
1 Complexion brush from the Studio line
1 Angled brush from the Studio line
1 Eyelid primer
2 Blushes from the Studio line
1 Cream Eyeshadow

Quick review:
I love ELF brushes from their Studio line (their regular white ones are NOT very good - do not purchase them). Especially for $3 - they are a very good quality - even after washing them, they are still very soft and work well.

This is my 2nd tube of eyelid primer - that's my main primer if I don't use a cream shadow base. It works really well for a $1 product. Definitely recommend.

The blushes I have a mixed feeling for them, the pink one is called Pink Passion, it's very pigmented. I didn't expect it to be THAT pigmented...Also, my skintone doesn't match PINK blushes, so I only have to do 1 or 2 taps and it matches me really well. ^_^ The tan one is called Peachy Keen. I have to build this one on. It's a VERY VERY natural looking blush and the main reason why I love it! ^_^ It adds just the perfect color for my cheeks and a tad bit of shimmer. (I HEART SHIMMER). That's the bad thing about the blushes - depending on what color you get and your skin tone - you may have to apply more than you'd like.

This is my first cream shadow from ELF - I've used it much more than I thought I would - especially for the everyday look. It's got a bit of a gold shimmer to it as well. It's pretty pigmented and it's got a very creamy consistency. The downfall of this product is that the container is a total LIE!!!! LIES I TELL YOU LIES!!! The container is about the size of my palm, but the amount of product is maybe less than half. *thumbs down* LOL

Welps - that's it for my last post of the year. PLEASE HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY HOLIDAY!!!! Be careful during Christmas and New Years, there are IRRESPONSIBLE people out there - so be very very careful!
