Yesterday I posted an entry about caviar manicure, today I am coming with a haul.
I´ve made an order at e.l.f. cosmetics Slovak site (link). I am very satisfied with process of order and the short delivery periods. A few days ago, I´ve been surfing and doing quite useless activities on the net and somehow I caught myself that I´ve placed an order at e.l.f. I am sure I don´t have to explain that I wasn´t in an urgent need for more cosmetics.
I did not order as much stuff as last time, but I was very happy when I received the package.
List of the ordered stuff:
1.e.l.f. Lipstick in 7704 Gypsy and 7706 Posh
2. e.l.f. Duo Powder Eyeshadow in 4305 Berry Mix
3.Mineral Eyeshadow in Socialite
4. e.l.f. studio Glossy Gloss in Pink Candy
5. e.l.f. Nail Polish in 1570 Metal Madness and 1573 Twinkle
My first impressions:
I have other 2 lipsticks from e.l.f.´s studio collection, so I wanted to try some from the essantials collection too. I didn´t know what to expect as I am not quite satisfied with the ones ordered previously.
I haaaate the package of the new ones. It looks cheap, doesn´t function as it should and I am really afraid that it´s lid will come off in my handbag ( what a horrific thought). But I like the colour and smell of the lipsticks. I haven´t tried them yet, but the formula seems to be creamy and easy to apply.
Besides the package, I am sure I will be satisfied with them.
...and the swatches
If I am not wrong, there weren´t any eyeshadows in my previous haul. So this time I ordered one from the Essentials collection and one from the Minerals line.
The essential eyeshadows in Berry Mix came to me as a dissapointment. It is not pigmented as it should be and it´s colour is much different than it´s name says. I expected something in a berry colour, but the eyeshadow is actually more brown. It is very powdery. I am looking forward trying it, but I am afraid it won´t last long
...and the swatches
The eyeshadow from Mineral line is a compensation for the above mentioned one. When I opened it I was like "wow!". It is much better than I expected it to be. The colour is sooo nice and the bonus is the shimmery component. I looove wearing smoky eyes and this eyeshadow will be used very often for creating these looks. And not only will it functionate as an "smoky eye" shadow, but also I will use it for creating dramatic looks, which I am also a big fan of.
...and the swatch for this shadow
I ordered also a lip gloss, not that I don´t have enough of them...but you know, a girl can´t have enough glosses ;)
I don´t have any pink toned glosses, so I wanted to gave them a try. I bought Glossy Gloss in shade Pink Candy. I can´t wait to try it. But I hope that it´s brush would not get ruined after frequent application like my other e.l.f. glosses´ brushes did.
...and the swatch
I haven´t bought nail polish in black for a very long time and this one caught my attention. I didn´t hesitate for a long time whether I would get it or not as I am very satisfied with e.l.f.´s nail polishes.
Last weeks I am into sparkling cosmetics from eyeshadows to nail polishes everything should be sparkly, that´s the reason why I bought another nail polish in Twinkle. I don´t know whether I like it or not :D I am quite undecided. But I will use it only as a top coat so it should not be a waste of money. ;)
I will have a very busy week in school so I don´t know whether I will have an opportunity to post something, but I will try to do my best :)
Until then, I am wishing you a nice start of the new week. Enjoy every day fully and don´t worry a lot! ;)
Kisses!
Carina...
