E.L.F. Tone Correcting Concealer

Impressed.

I bought this concealer 3 shades lighter than my skin tone to highlight and conceal at the same time, and it does just that. The only thing I don't get is why they don't have my shade on the website. I'm in "Apricot Beige" and it's not listed on their shades on their website when I went to repurchase it.

E.L.F. Matte Lip Color

Great!

I love this formula so much, my only complaint is the color I bought. I wasn't thinking when I purchased this, and I bought it in "Nearly Nude". I don't wear a nude lip, it washes me out completely. I think it looks wonderful on some people, just not me. Anyways, so I put it on and I looked DEAD. It has pink undertones that are NOT attractive in the least. So how I fixed that and made a great shade out of a lousy shade is I will apply a light layer to my lips, then blend with my finger. Then I will take a Revlon Lip Butter in "Creamsicle" (a sheer light orange which counteracts the pink) and I look positively radiant afterwards.

E.L.F. Essential Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder

Shimmer and Glitter OH MY!!

This bronzer, which I have in Sunkissed is a glittery shimmery copper orange. It makes you look like an oompa loompa when applied all over the face. It doesn't give you a nice contour, and it doesn't work as a blush. The packaging looks so cheap, and feels flimsy. I've tried to use it as an eyeshadow, but it just doesn't look right. So all in all, this bronzer gives you a nice golden glow when applied to the cheekbones for clubbing and such, not for everyday use.

M.A.C. Dazzleglass

Staying Power and Hi-Shine

These are beautiful lipglosses, I have 3. They all have amazing staying power, leave you with a hi-shine finish and the perfect amount of glitter. Since I live in Canada, these lipglosses are really expensive at $22.50 a pop. My favorite, Baby Sparks is a light pink with blue or violet glitter reflects in it. Don't take glitter as overbearing or chunky, the glosses are still smooth. If you don't like a sticky gloss, these aren't for you. The stickiness is what gives them the staying power they have. Mine have lasted up to 4 hours, which is better than any other gloss I've tried. After a certain amount of time, the gloss will feel gross on your lips, and that is how you know it is time to freshen up. The only complaint I have is that this is used up so fast! And with the price so high, I find it hard for me to stomach buying more. But since I wear gloss daily, and reapply 4 times throughout the day, I need to find a cheaper alternative, but I honestly don't know if there is one out there. SO ALL IN ALL THIS LIPGLOSS IS STICKY, BUT THAT'S WHAT GIVES IT IT'S STAYING POWER. IT COSTS ALOT, BUT I HAVEN'T FOOUND ANYTHING QUITE LIKE IT. IT HAS GLITTER, BUT IT'S NOT OVERBEARING AND THE FORMULA IS STILL QUITE SMOOTH.
