Fall Makeup Favorites

Do you guys remember me talking about e.l.f products before? I just love e.l.f makeup! They offer a variety of budget-friendly options for us ladies who love to save a dime everywhere we go. Their face primer and the mist and set they carry are my two favorite products, but I am always searching their shelves in the store or online for yet another favorite.

When I was browsing the interwebs the other night, I decided to head on over to e.l.f's website and see what I could see. That's when I got this great idea to tell you all about some of my e.l.f favorites for fall! I do major makeup shopping twice a year-once in the spring for spring/summer skin and then again in the fall for fall/winter skin. Unless you use a self-tanner or tan in a tanning bed, you're going to get pasty in the fall and winter, therefore, your foundation color is probably going to change.  Also, spring and fall are when they have the best sales, duh!  Speaking of which, e.l.f is currently having a 50% off sale on select products, so be sure to head on over and get you some great products on the cheap!

  

FALL MAKEUP FAVORITES


You just cant go wrong with the pricing on e.l.f products.  What I love to tell people is that e.l.f is good makeup to not only use continuously, but to use to try stuff out.  Not sure about how to do that fancy eyeshadow you see on Pinterest?  Buy an eyeshadow set for $1 from e.l.f and practice!  Got a pre-teen who wants to experiment with makeup?  Take her to Target and let her browse the e.l.f section.  You won't break the bank when you buy her that first starter kit.


That ends today's post!  If you haven't had a chance to enter the giveaway I have going on, you can do that below!  You don't want to miss out on your chance to win some jewelry! Also, I am wrapping up some last minute details on the party that will be happening later this month.  I will have those details to all of you as soon as I have them!

Beauty Review: e.l.f Primer + GIVEAWAY

I have to tell you all about my latest make up find!  I was over browsing around on e.l.f one night and came across their mineral infused face primer while searching for something that would help my face appear more polished when wearing make up.  I read some of the reviews and decided to give it a try for the whopping six bucks that it would cost me. 

I got it pretty quickly (along with some other things I had ordered from e.l.f) and I was so excited to get the stuff, I decided to show you all.  Some of you may have seen this on IG a few weeks back.

This was a good mail day. :)

I was really excited to try it out and when I did, I was amazed at the results!  This stuff makes my face look like it did in my twenties!  (For those of you that remember, that is just a little over ten years ago.) I got so excited I told my best friend and she bought some and she loves it too!

You want to see what this primer can do?

This is before primer...
(Yea, see....face needs a little help...)

And....AFTER!


The results are staggering, right?  I think what I am most impressed with is that it hides all my redness!  I purchased the tone adjusting green when I ordered and it did exactly what it said it was going to do.  I love it!  For six bucks, you can't beat it!

It goes on like SILK!  You feel like you are massaging SILK into your FACE! It doesn't leave a weird residue and it works well with my foundation and powder, so no clumpy face here, just a smooth and flawless finish.

This primer from e.l.f comes in four shades:
  • Clear: Basic prep
  • Tone Adjusting Green: Minimizes redness and combats blotchy skin
  • Brightening Lavender: Good for uneven skin tones and to brighten dull or yellow tones
  • Radiant Glow: Helps to cover dark spots and uneven skin tones
Like I said, I got the green and it completely removes all the redness from my face. Before I started using the primer, when I would finish my make up, you could still see the redness under my foundation.  It drove me crazy.  I would see these girls walking around with porcelain doll faces and I would silently scream, "How do they DO that!?"

And now I feel like I have been let in on the biggest beauty secret in the world: face primer.

Did I mention you can also buy this at Target? ;) Yes. Go.  Go to the make up aisle at Target and pick you up a six dollar bottle of pure genius.

Or...If you are feeling lucky...
