I have severely hooded eyes, and I love to use this palette to carve out my crease, and make my lids look less puffy!

Hello all!! I'm here with a quick palette review today!
These eye shadows are smooth, silky, and slightly powdery!
They blend out exceptionally well.

ELF Liquid Eye Shadow In Liquid Gold, Rose Gold Review
Hey all!!
Today we're going to talk about two liquid eye shadows I really like!
At first use, I HATED these! But I figured out HOW to use them correctly!
These are liquid eye shadows in a tube with a doe foot applicator. Texture wise, these really are liquid-y.
First time I used these, I took the doe foot and smoothed it over my whole mobile lid, then tapped it out with my fingers. Which resulted in a sheer, glittery, patchy mess!
Now, I take the doe foot, and dab it onto the back of my hand, then pick up the liquid shadow with a flat, stiff synthetic brush. And tap that onto my lids!
This results in a glowy, dewy lid look!!!
I have zero issues with these creasing on my oily, severely hooded lids!!
Overall: 8/10

ELF Blush and Bronzer Duo Review
Hey friends!!
Today we're going to look at one of my favourite cheek products!!
This is the ELF Blush and Bronzer duo compact! It contains a shimmery light golden brown bronzer, and a light glittery cotton candy pink blush.
I LOVE the bronzer in this compact!! It gives my skin warmth, so I don't look flat or dead,
But I REALLY Love mixing them together! I'll just take a fluffy blush brush, and dab it back and forth into both pans. and then buff it onto my cheeks. And it adds a warm, peachy glow to my cheeks! I'm obsessed!
Amount: I threw out the box It came in, so I have no clue. Shoot!
Price: $5
Pros: Super blendable, soft, and easy!
Cons: Not dark skinned friendly! I wish ELF would come out with more shades in this formula!!

ELF Contour/Light Blush Pallet Review
Hello friends!!
The title of this post is kind of misleading, because I didn't know what to NAME this. ahaha.
Today, I'm reviewing My "custom" ELF cheek palette.
If you didn't know, You CAN pop the pans OUT in ELF's cheek pallets. So having owned the Light Blush palette and the Contour Palette, I'v made my own custom thing!
Clockwise, we have:
Cool brown matte contour shade - Very creamy and easy to pick up on a brush and blend out!
Pearly/lightly shimmery white highlight shade - super soft to the touch. It's silky! and not chunky at all.
Matte Plummy Pink - This is slightly powdery in the pan, so make sure to tap your brush. Very pigmented, and it lasts all day on me! One of my favourite shades for blushes.
Matte watermellon pink base, with Silver sparkles - I love this one!! It's a nice coraly/watermellon pink shade, with some silver sparkles. It blends so well, and lasts all day!
Price: $6 for each palette
Pros: Pigmented!! Very vibrant. Soft, silky. Lasts until I take it off at the end of the night.
Cons: Powdery, light skinned people may think they're too pigmented/overwhelming.
Overall: 9/10

My experience with ELF Cosmetic's Customer Service
Hey all!!
Today I wanted to share my experience with ELF's customer service!
I placed an order with ELF cosmetics on December 28th 2016
By January 13th 2017, I had NOT received a shipping conformation email yet.
January 14th 2017, I sent their customer service an email, and I sent in my order number. And asked if I should make a dispute with paypal, to get my money back.
January 14th 2017, the same day I received an email back, and they explained how sorry they were, and that they were swamped from their Boxing Day sale, and that they will ship my order ASAP.
January 15th 2017, I get the shipping conformation email from ELF! They ALSO sent me a email explaining that they were very sorry, and they were going to ship my $35 order to me, and give me a FULL REFUND. And I DID receive my full money back on my paypal account!
January 22nd 2017 My order shows up in my mailbox, and I excitedly ripped open my box, and it was full of stuff I didn't order. Because they took so long to ship it, they had run out of most of the items I ordered. It bothered my a SMIDGE. But I was very impressed that they replaced the stuff that was out of stock.
February 20th 2017, It's a STAT Holiday, here in Canada. But I went to answer my front door, and there was a package sitting there for me! I open it up, and it's a Box with ELF's Nourishing Night Cream, and a note saying how sorry ELF Cosmetics is that my order was so late, and that they care about their customers and want to make sure we are all happy!
I am VERY VERY impressed with how ELF handled this! They were professional the whole time, they answered my emails the same day, I wasn't at ALL expecting to receive this night cream for free, nor was I expecting my order to be fully refunded!!
I understand some other bloggers have had not as amazing service. This is just my personal experience, that I wanted to share with you all!

My Custom Made Travel Palettes
Hey all!!
Longer term readers will know, I travel quite a bit. So I like to have magnetic bottom palettes ready, that I can just toss into my bag and not have to worry about singles, or finding a palette I can get a couple of looks out of!
First up we have my cheek pallet:
I have two makeup geek blushes in the top left corner (Soulmate and Romance!) beside them I have a travel sized pan of my beloved Bela Bamba from Benefit (DC) Then the three shadows down the right edge are Coastal Scents Coral Blossom (Orangey/Coral), Coral Rose (More of a fushia pink than coral!) and MAC Cranberry (shimmery burgundy/red)
Then on the bottom left, is a shimmery bronzer from ELF, then two highlight shades the lighter one is from Coastal Scents it's called Lemon Chiffon, and then the gold beside it (my second all time favourite highlight!) is Make Up For Ever ME512.
I like the quality of all of these products. I find them to last on me, and they work well. If they didn't I wouldn't take them traveling haha.
Next up, we have my travel eye shadow palette:
This is a Colourpop 4 pan palette that I took tweezers to and took apart until I was left with a magnetic bottom palette!
Top row we have: Sephora Brand Swan Song (Matte white/light pink), Colourpop High Strung (rose gold metallic) Colorpop Take it slow (Shimmery off white/Champagne) A MUFE Artist shadow that I don't know the name of, It's in the First artist palette, Coastal Scents Barista (Matte warm brown)
Bottom row: A sample sized Lancome shadow (It's a shimmery copper) Colourpop Bel Air (Matte light brown) Colourpop Come and Get it (Pink base with gold duochrome) MAC Sumptuous Olive (golden olive shimmer) And two MUFE Artist shadows (One is a metallic taupe, and the other is a dupe for MAC's Woodwinked!)
That's my travel pallets! My first trip is coming up fast! So I'm looking forward to traveling with these!
