Review: E.L.F Mineral Pressed Mineral Bronzer!

So Silky!

Hey everyone! Hope you're having an amazing day! I'm getting my things sorted in my new home and finally found my camera haha. I have a bunch of new items to review so stay tuned for that! They just keep piling up... but hey, I'm a makeup lover! ;-) Today we have a review on the NEW E.L.F Mineral Pressed Mineral Bronzers that I purchased from eyeslipsface.com. They retail for $5 each, at the time the mineral line was 50% off so I got a great deal on them. There's four shades total in the line and I must say, they are amazing!

Three out of the four would work as bronzers on my skin tone and one of them would make a gorgeous highlight! On my skin two out of the four look matte which is a plus in my book. I really like that the line offers mattes and shimmers. The darkest shade in the line would also suite medium-deep skin tones so the color range is also great!

I love the Mineral Pressed Blushes and I initially thought these would be very similar in formula but they do differ. These are super soft to the touch which causes plenty of fall out. It's really easy to make yourself look muddy because the brush collects a lot of product with just one swipe. I would suggest to always tap your brush on your hand before application that way its easier to blend.

I'm loving the tones the line has to offer! There's more gray cool tones, peachy tones and red tones which makes the line very versatile. You can use one for just bronzing and use another for contouring. Here are the swatches:

*Baked Peach- a very light peachy shade, works best as a highlight and its really pretty. It's the most powdery from the line but beautiful nonetheless. Love the glow it gives!

*Tan Toffee- a golden bronze shade, this is the one I'm using right now for contouring. I'm pretty pale right now which is a sin since its still summer but this is my perfect match! For the most part this color is matte on the skin even though it does have a slight sheen but no shimmer.

*Beach Bronze- a medium bronze-taupe shade with shimmers. This shade is beautiful but too dark for me at the moment. It would make a great bronzing shade if I had a tan haha.

*Caramel Cabana- a medium reddish brown bronzer, another great satin matte color. Super smooth and pigmented like the rest!

Bottom line: These bronzers are worth the price! I love the color range and the formulation. They are infused with Vitamin E and Grape which provides great benefits for the skin. The colors work perfectly year round and for only $5? That's a bargain! The peachy shade is the only one that was a bit powdery and wasn't really a "bronzer" color. So if you're looking for great contour shade or one to bronze up your skin just skip the first shade and purchase the rest. Lookout for sales because E.L.F is notorious for having them all the time! :-)

Review: Ulta Color Coat Cream Eye shadows!

Great Color Selection!

I'm sure when we think of cream eye shadow bases the Maybelline Color Tattoos quickly come to  mind. I own a few and love them but I find that they're limited edition shades are a lot better than the permanent shades at times so I wanted to branch out ;-) I was very curious about these Ulta Color Coat Cream Eye Shadows when I went to my local Ulta's grand opening. They retail for $8 but at the time they were on sale for only $4 plus a I had some great coupons, perfect time to give them a try!

There's a total of eight colors in the line, I picked the most colorful ones of the bunch haha. The packaging is similar to the color tattoos which I like for storage purposes. The consistency of these are a bit different from anything I've tried! They are creamy but almost mouse-like which is pretty cool! They become so smooth immediately with the warmth of your finger which I feel some color tattoos lack. They are highly pigmented and the colors are gorgeous and unique!

They are long wearing and make really great bases because the eye shadows adhere to them really well! They are also gorgeous when worn alone, especially the top left color in Rose Gold! Here are the names:

Here are the swatches:

My favorites are Rose Gold and Golden Olive, such beautiful shades! Rose Gold is the perfect base for the Coastal Scents Revealed 2 Palette which is a dupe for the Urban Decay Naked 3. The Golden Olive pairs really well with the Lorac 2 Palette!

Bottom line: These cream shadows are pretty good! Not to say I underestimated the Ulta Collection products but I rarely give them a try. I've tried a few things here and there and none of them disappoint! It never hurts to use the $3.50 coupon either haha. These get an A+ in my book so make sure to give them a try if you want a creamy, pigmented eye shadow base! :-)





















Must Haves: Wet n Wild Fergie Perfect Pout Lip Colors! (Part 1!)

One Of My Favorite Formulas!

I'm trying to decide if this is my favorite lipstick formula from the drugstore... and I'm leaning towards YES! The Wet n Wild Fergie Perfect Pout Lip Colors are amazing and affordable, my favorite combo! They retail for about $4 depending on where you go but more often than not they are on sale. I managed to stock up on new colors recently for only $2 each via walgreens.com. I recently moved and these were the only lipsticks I packed in my makeup bag because I just love them that much haha. In the mist of moving and searching for my makeup I gave up and just wore a simple eye with a pop of color on the lips. You can never go wrong with that look and these were my bff's at the time! :-)

The color range is amazing! I also love the packaging, super sleek and pretty. The formulation is so creamy and pigmented which is what sold me on these... and made me want every single one of them. Your lips feel moisturized throughout the entire day with these and the color stays put for a good 6+ hours. I do like this formula better compared to the Mega Last line from Wet n Wild because those tend to be a bit more drying on the lips but nonetheless Wet n Wild makes fabulous lipsticks! Here are some swatches:

They glide on so smooth and the color is so rich on the lips, I just cant say enough great things about these! :-) Here are some lip swatches:

*Bebot Love- a creamy beige nude, one of my favorites because I have a hard time finding flattering nudes and this one is a total hit!

*Penthouse Sweet- a blue tone pink, really wearable if compared to some of the neon-like colors that are similar. Love the shine on this one!

*Old School Glam- an orange based red, a beautiful shade of red that can be worn now in the summer time and transition over to fall.

*Ferguson Crest Cabernet- a deep berry/plum shade... stunning! If you didn't guess already this is one of my favorites! I love these berry tone lipsticks and this one is gorgeous!

Bottom line: If you haven't tried these already make sure to pick some up! I used them all the time and even though I try a lot of different products I always come back to these. I will have a part two with more colors so stay tuned for that. A lot of new product reviews and dupes are coming as well, I just need to get situated at my new home and find my camera haha. :-) Thanks for stopping by and leave me a comment, that always makes my day!
