An Elf of E.L.F - Make-up Haul

When I was just starting on make-up (that was about December last year), I am on the look for a good brand with good products but won't hurt my wallet that much (as I am unemployed that time, HAHAHA!). In my search, I've been to different department stores and even drug stores. Then I find this small kiosk of E.L.F. that catches my eyes because of their lovely products! In an instant I was able to buy some because I find the products really nice plus the fact that most of them cost only Php 129.00 (isn't that cheap for a very good product?). From then on, I am always in love with E.L.F.( which stands for Eyes, Lips and Face)!

Now, look at my growing collection of E.L.F products! Planning of getting more soon because I still lack some of their good buys! 





Brightening Eye Colors. Among all the products of ELF, I can say that these are my favorite. Well, the picture shows how much I love them for me to get all available color here in the Philippines (how I wish they will release more colors)! I actually got them in different because I want to create an eye make-up that would easily go with what I am wearing. Plus the fact that I love the size of each palette which makes it easy to bring everywhere I want to go! I also love how each one has 4 different colors that can be use as 2-color-combination or a 4-color-combination-smokey-eye effect. This product for me is 10/10!



Beauty-To-Go Palette. This is my 2nd most adored product! I love how this palette is complete with the most essential make-up I need everyday for the eyes, lips, and face! It is very easy to bring everywhere and eats only a little space in my bag. I love that I have it in 2 colors (actually they have a lot and how I wish I can have them all, still drooling over the net each time I open their US website), 1 for daytime good for strolling the mall or by the beach and 1 for nighttime good for partying. And for the rating, again 10/10!



Everyday Eye Palette.One of the very first palette I ever bought for my self, this complete eyeshadow set just blow my heart out after I first tried using. I also love that it has instructions on how to put eye make-up (as I am a newbie), I can say that it is really very helpful. I can't think of anything bad the product have, from the quality of the shadow, to the packaging, and of course the price. For a Php 399.00, 12 lovely colors that I can actually use everyday that is really a bargain. So for me I'll rate this at again 10/10! 



Little Black Beautybook Eyeshadow Edition. My least favorite of them all, just because I hardly use them because all shadows are shimmers which is not my type for eye make-up. Well, my reason for buying this is, before I still don't know anything about make-up and Php 400.00 for 48 colors (about Php 9.00 per color), that's cheap.



Eyelid Primer and Eye Primer & Liner Sealer. They are my everyday eye primer. But depends on my mood which primer will I actually use, because they are both really good. My shadows stay all day and don't crease even after a day of events happened! As to the liner sealer, I don't use it even one because to be honest I don't know its use (poor me, HAHAHA!). Waterproof Lengthening & Volumizing Mascara, again another favorite E.L.F product! I just love it that I use it everyday and my day would be incomplete if I left it at home. Rating for these products, 10/10!



Eyeshadow Brush and Blending Eye Brush. Two of my first ever and most favorite eye brushes! They are the ones that I use when I was just experimenting on eye make-up. I love that the hairs are so soft and can catch good amount of eyeshadow. These would have been 10/10 for me but what I didn't like about them is that the hair does easily fall off when you squeeze them after cleaning. But still a very good brush though, 8/10 for both brushes! 

How about you, which E.L.F. products are you using?!

Christmas in May

Merry Christmas everyone! Oooopppsss, not yet! It's just May! But it feels like Christmas because of the package that came all the way from U. S. of A. The package came from my sister who shares the same passion with me for make-up or actually she is the one who influence me the most! The package for me is all cosmetics varying from eye shadows, eye shadow base, eyeliner, and lip glossies with different brands such as Coastal Scents, Urban Decay, Mary Kay, L'OREAL, and ChapStick!  So let the pictures do the talking! :)




As you can see, the boxes and the packaging say my name (Maan) and nickname (Cindy) with indicates that they are all mine! Yippeeeeee! :)


Now, let's take a closer look to all of them! :))

1. Urban Decay Sustainable Shadow Box. All I can say about this product is it is so awesome and very gorgeous plus the fact that it is eco-friendly! It has 10 lovely colors, great for day and evening look. It comes with a good and fluffy eye shadow brush and a travel-sized Eyeshadow Primer Potion! I can't wait to use this baby! :)



2. Coastal Scents 88 Original Palette. When I open this palette, I was really overwhelmed by the great selection and number of colors. I was like, can I really use each and every single color that's in here? HAHAHA! This is my very first 88 palette but wish to have some more like the warm palette and the metal mania! 



3. Coastal Scents 22 Piece Brush Set + Classic Angled Liner in Natural. As I said in my previous post about my brush sets, I still don't have a full professional brush set. So now my Fairy Godmother (which happens to be my very own sister) granted that wish and gave me these babies! I am so much in love with them and there is now reason why I should not!



4. Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion. This is so far my favorite among the rest! It's like having a dream come true for me owning this one because it is like gold or even diamond! I have never tried it but I like to believe that this is the best eye shadow base in the world! 



5. L'OREAL Infallible Eyeliner
6. Mary Kay Lip Balms
7. Mary Kay Eye Primer
8. ChapStick in Strawberry


So much in heaven because of these babies! And I want to thank you Ate, you are really the best! Waiting for the perfect time to use and try them cause as of the moment, duty in the hospital is hectic! :)
