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!

  

• e.l.f. Essential Luscious Liquid Lipstick

• e.l.f. Essential Eyelid Primer

• e.l.f. Studio Endless Eyes Pro Mini Eyeshadow Palette 

• e.l.f. Mineral Pressed Mineral Blush

• e.l.f. Studio Mineral Infused Face Primer 

• e.l.f Studio Makeup Mist & Set

• e.l.f Essential Professional Complete Set of 12 Brushes

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! 

I thought that it would be fun to talk about some of the beauty products I have been using and trying out lately.  I buy beauty products every month, so why not talk about them and tell you all why I use them?  I get to chat about beauty products and you all get a heads-up on products that maybe you don't know so much about. Sound cool?  I thought so. 

When I placed my clothing order with Target last month, I also added some make up to my cart.  I don't normally do this, but there were some products that I had been dying to try and I just couldn't wait any longer. 

The first product I have to talk about is the Maybelline Baby Lips.  I kept seeing all these other bloggers raving about this product and I knew I needed to see what the fuss was all about!  So, I ordered the Peach Kiss per all the reviews since I was looking for just a nice shimmery look to my lips.  Verdict:  This stuff is AWESOME!  I loved it so much, in fact, that while I was making a late night run to Walgreen's one night (for ice cream...I'm not sorry), I picked up the Maybelline Baby Lips Dr. Rescue in Pink Me Up.  It's fantastic too!  It has a cool burst with it so it refreshes the lips and gives you a bit of color all in one! The best part: $2.99 at Target online right now.  Not kidding!  Go now! 

Another lip product made it into my cart last month and that was the Maybelline Color Whisper Lipcolor.  I was just roaming around the lipstick online and saw the name of these and was intrigued.  After reading the reviews and looking through the color options, I purchased Lust for Blush and it is the perfect shimmery light mauve.  Verdict: It's a little tacky feeling at first, but once it dries, its light as a feather.  I forget I even had it on.  It's a pretty good price at $5.99!  I may have to try out another color, but I'm not quite sure yet.  

I was in desperate need of some black eyeliner as I had ran out of my Avon Glimmersticks and hadn't had a chance to order more.  So, I decided to give Revlon ColorStay Eyeliner a try.  Verdict:  This goes on very smoothly, which is a must since I have only been messing with eyeliner for a little over a year.  As long as I use my eyelid primer on my lids and dab a little under my eye, the liner doesn't smudge.  If I don't, it smudges.  Horribly.  I'm a tad bummed that I paid $4.99 for something that I am not totally in love with, but it isn't a horrible price for eyeliner either.  So.  Any recs on eyeliner ladies? I need smooth application and minimal to no smudge!

I spent a little under $20 last month on new products and 3 out of the 4 were successes.  In my book, that's a win!  I can't wait to show you all what I get in June next month!  I'm already eyeing some nail polish!  So, tell me, did you try any new make-up products this month?
