Happy Hump Day.

Today I wanted to tell you about my new favorite foundation.

I’ve used Bare Minerals since 2006 and while I still adore it there are times(like this winter) I prefer a liquid foundation.

That leads me to my two liquid foundation staples Makeup Forever HD and Nars Sheer Glow.

I love the way the Nars HD Foundation lasts but it always seems to find a dry patch or fine line to settle into which drives me crazy and the Nars Sheer Glow is amazing it leaves my skin looking fresh and dewy but it doesn’t last very long on my oily/combo skin.

Which leads me to my new favorite foundation which is the ELF Flawless Finish Foundation.

It’s a lightweight, oil-free formula that blends in naturally for a beautiful semi-matte finish.

It’s like ELF took the lasting power of Makeup Forever HD and mixed it with the dewy finish of Sheer Glow and created the perfect product.

I know a lot of you out there are thinking I must have lost my mind.

I mean how can a $6.00 foundation compete with $40 dollar ones?

I don’t have an answer for you all I can say is trust me they can and at only $6.00 if it doesn’t work out for you then you’re not out a lot of money.

You can purchase Flawless Finish on eyeslipsface.com.

Has anyone tried the ELF Flawless Finish Foundation before?

If so I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Best,

It’s not even Summer yet, but we’re already seeing Fall beauty collections showing up everywhere.

Here are some of the promo images of my favorites so far.

Yves Saint Laurent Jardin de Minuit Makeup Collection Fall 2011

Estee Lauder Pure Color Modern Mercury Collection Fall 2011

Guerlain Fall 2011 Makeup Collection

I think I’m loving the Yves Saint Laurent Jardin de Minuit Makeup Collection Fall 2011 the most of the ones above. Do you have a favorite?

Please share!

I picked up this E.L.F. Studio Tinted Moisturizer at Target a few weeks ago, but I have to say I’m not a fan.

This product is much more moisturizer than anything else.

Maybe if you have perfect skin that just needs a little moisture you’d love this product.

But for me and my acne prone, less than perfect skin I hate it! HATE it!

I think this is the first product that I’ve hated in a long, long time.

Well, at least it was only $3.00.

I’ll go back to using my favorite tinted moisturizer ever, which is the Smashbox Sheer Focus.

They look similar in the packaging huh?

Trust me though they are nothing alike!!

Note to E.L.F: a tinted moisturizer should at least make my skin look a little bit better.

I mean come on….

Oh well, if you’re interested in trying this product it’s only $3.00 at Target.

Have you tried this product?

I picked up this Elf Endless Eyes Palette from Target about two weeks ago and I’m finally ready to offer a review.

My thoughts:

This palette was a huge let down. Almost all of the shadows are chalky and very cheaply made and only about 10% of the shades are usable. The usable shades being the neutral ones. I so badly wanted the gorgeous blue shade 2nd row on the right to work, but it was just a crumbly mess. I feel like you should skip this palette totally. Not even worth the $5.00 price tag in my opinion. BUMMER!

On the plus side the packaging is nice and sleek and comes with a mirror which I did enjoy. But that doesn’t make up for the rest of the palette being so terrible in my opinion.

Have you tried this palette from ELF yet? Please share your thoughts!

Retails for: $5.00 at Target.

Happy Tuesday! Hope you’re having a great week so far.

As you all know I really enjoy Eyeko products. They have such adorable packaging and they really work. So when I was given the opportunity to review the Graffiti Eyeliners I of course said yes!

What they say:

Emphasize your eyes in one quick stroke! Create this seasons dramatic eye looks with Eyeko Graffiti Eyeliner Pen.

The precision brush nib is super easy to control to draw on thick or thin lines.

My Thoughts:

This is a great, affordable felt tip eyeliner pen. It’s very easy to apply,long lasting and even smudge proof once dry. I’ve been wearing this liner everyday since receiving them and they’re great. My favorite shades are the black and purple. I’ve been wearing them together a lot and it looks great. I should probably take a picture of that to show you right?

The Pros:

• long lasting
• smudge proof
• easy to apply
• versatile applicator so you can create a thin or thick line depending on the pressure applied
• only $8.00

The Cons:

• If you’ve never used a eyeliner pen it may take some getting used to

Here’s a great tip from Eyeko for those who may be new to liquid liners.

For fool proof eyeliner dot across the upper lid as close to the lashes as possible then simply join the dots! Wing it, flick it, have fun with it! Team with lashings of Eyeko Magic Mascara for a flirtatious flutter!

Available in shades:jet BLACK, eye brightening NAVY BLUE, natural BROWN, fierce PURPLE.

You can purchase these liners at Eyeko.com.

You probably remember the ELF Smokey Eye book I reviewed recently. Well, I picked up the other beauty book as well and this one is called Eye Brights.

This set is a good value at $5.00, but it’s not as great as the Smokey Eye Beauty Book. This one contains three pretty chalky shadows which was disappointing.

You can see here that I marked the ones which were chalky. So only 3/12 which isn’t terrible, but I just wanted to let you know the Smokey Eye kit is much better in my opinion. I do love the blue, cranberry and purple shadows though they’re gorgeous and very pigmented.

Have you found these products in your Target yet? What were your thoughts?

Look over my nails and sloppy polish application. I was so excited to try the polish I applied it more sloppy than I normally would.

I was recently sent two new limited edition polishes from Eyeko — Rain (“for city nails”) and Saucy (“for naughty nails”) for review. I’m a huge fan of Eyeko polishes so I was beyond excited to try them.

The first one I tried was Rain. I’m not lying when I say I love this shade. I don’t think I’ve seen anything quite like before. It’s a gorgeous blue, gray shade with light shimmers, just lovely. It’s a very hard shade to describe, but believe me it’s amazing.

I was also sent Saucy and while I’m not a fan of red nail polish this one was very pretty. It’s a deep red different from most other reds on the market today. It’s a very pretty polish, but I’m definitely more of a Rain girl. You could probably tell that from the fact that Saucy only made it onto one nail though right? Haha.

Both polishes apply very nicely. Very good quality. I highly recommend these Eyeko polishes.

Available at: Eyeko.com.

I’ve been getting a lot of comments and emails about the ELF products I mentioned in earlier posts. Everything from when will your Target start carrying the products to where are they located. I’m sorry I can’t really help you with the first question, but the products in my Target are on an end cap. I went back this weekend to take some pictures for you of the set up so you will know what to look for.

As you can tell from the first photo some of the products are still being put out. If your Target doesn’t have the items out yet I’m sure they will soon.

I hope this helps some of you find the products!

Yesterday, I showed you the ELF Smokey Eye Book, now today I bring up the ELF Natural Shadow set.

This kit contains six natural shadows and a mini eye shadow brush.

These shadows aren’t chalky and they have pretty good staying power. Great quality for the price, $3.00!!

This is a great kit for those just starting out with makeup, girls on a budget, or just anyone who wants a drugstore natural shadow set. Another win for ELF.

Available at Target for $3.00.

I’ve been a fan of ELF for a few years now so I was beyond excited when I walked into Target over the weekend and saw all the new ELF goodies gracing the shelves.

One of the products I picked up was the ELF Beauty Book Smokey Eye Edition. It includes a step by step guide to the perfect eye makeup, 12 eyeshadows, 1 eyeliner and 1 eyeshadow applicator. And while this same kit from any other brand would be 30+ dollars the ELF Beauty Book is only $5.00!!!! How can you beat that?

I tested it out this weekend and the colors are great, not chalky at all. Totally worth the $5.00 price tag.

Have you tried this or other ELF products? What was your favorite thing? Please share!
