* ELF Haul*

So I am pretty close to owning all the different items that I want off the ELF Website. There were a lot of things that I wanted to try. Like I said I am pretty close to having them all until they come with something new. I have found a new website I am going to try out to give Elf a break for a few weeks. Anyways here is my most recent haul. 

First up is more brushes. I am trying to build up my brush collection. I'm testing and trying new ones. I've been looking for huge ones for powders and whatnot. So these two maybe will help me achieve what I am looking for. 

I've been wanting to try these cream duo eye shadows. I ordered another one too, Sugar Cookie. But it wasn't shipped to me. But they took care of it and shipped me one.  I am not too impressed with these. I will work with them further and see what I can do with them. 

 If you recall in a previous post I had bought a silver one of these. I loved the outcome of it. It is super shiny and it did what I wanted it to. So I bought another one. I will probably buy them all. This one is ok. The swatch is just of one swipe. You have to use more to make it darker. 

 The following are each blushes. 

This one is Gotta Glow. Well this one is really really white. So I am not sure how I want to use this one. 

This one is Giddy Gold and I think it is amazing. Will be great for summer. 

This one is Peachy Keen. I might be able to rock this all year round. 

This is the last one on the baked blushes. I owned all the others and I just needed this one. I love it. A bit dark so I do not use very much of it. 

The following are lip products that I wanted to try: 

This is Lip Balm with SPF 15. In Peach. I love the color and it goes on and it is very moisturizing. 

These are smoothing lip balms. They are ok. They smell like Avon lip balms to me. 

This is a Pink Petal Lip stain. I love this one. It's light enough for me. And it does stay a while. It's still on my hand and I swatched this yesterday. 

This one is a bit dark for me. 

I love this liquid lipstick which is more of a lip gloss. 

The following is nail polishes. 

Chocolate: 

Matte Finisher. Ok I have read mixed reviews on this. It worked just fine for me. 

Skinny Jeans

Liquid Metal

Summer Solstice

Supernova

Big Bang Blue

These didn't have the colors written on them but the green one is Teal Blue....Do not know why they call it that it is obviously green. 

 This is a body shimmer. It is pretty small. But it does pack a punch as you can see. 

The following are Glitter Mascaras. I really wanted to try these. 

Plum: 

Gold

Silver

 Teal

As always thanks for reading. I enjoy sharing things I buy. I need to do more posts on the different products. I might do a favorites post and maybe some posts on how I use them. Anyways. Please sub and comment some feedback THANKS!!!!

*LOOT CRATE* October Edition

Hey Yall!!! We are trying out a new monthly subscription box. Loot Crate. It's a monthly box for gamers and nerds! How appropriate for my household. It's $13 a month plus shipping. I think the total is like $19.34. Here is the link if you would like to sign up. LootCrate !!! On the site they show what was in the past boxes and they even have where you can buy pieces from past boxes which is neat. So below I list all the things I got in my October Loot Crate. 

The pic on the right is what the box looked like when opened. The book on top that says Survive is a little magazine about the products in the box and more info. 

The pic on the left is of the tshirt that was included. We are huge fans (who isn't??!!!) of The Walking Dead. So this was awesome! The pic on the right is of the book The Zombie Survival Guide. We had this book but I have no clue where it went. So now we have a replacement! Yah!

This below was too funny. It's a greeting card. :P How hilarious. 

Left pic is of a Gummy Bug Candy in the shape of a spider. The middle pic is of some pins/buttons with 8-bit pics on them. There is medicine (left) A zombie hand (middle) and a Crossbow (right) The Pic on the right is of fake tattoos. There are 2. The top is of a bite mark and it says Infected, the bottom is a barcode that says Not Infected. 

This is a Zombie Hunter Id Card! How cute! Will make a great bookmark. It's hard plastic like any card you would have in your wallet. 

 There was another item. It was a card with a promo code for $5 off a tshirt order. I will definitely be using that. As always thanks for reading. Please come back I always have something to add. :) Please sub and comment. Let me know what you want to see. THANKS!

Quick Accessories Haul

     Sorry it's been a few days since last post, I'm a very busy mom. From taking care of my daughter, taking care of the home, running my mom back and forth to doctors appointments, Soccer practices and games, and animal care! I am very very busy. I have no social life! Social Media is my social life, it is about the only thing I can do in between all these things. :P So anyways back to the point at hand.
     So I took my mom to the library the other day and while in there a lady came in selling jewelry. She evidently was going out of business and selling her stock. So I will do my best to remember how much she was selling them for in her store. So here we go!

These are rings. My eyes zoomed in on the frog when I saw it. I paid $2 each. She sold them for $14.99 in her store. They both have an elastic band. 

I loved this necklace. It hangs really low. This bracelet is so pretty. I paid $3 for the necklace, and $2 for the bracelet. She sold the necklace for $15.99 and $14.99 for the bracelet. 

These are all rings with the elastic band. The one on the left got my attention because it looks like a silver pringle with bling. I loved the red in the middle one and that flower is huge on my hand but I still love it. They were all $2 each. She sold them for $14.99 in her store. 

These watches caught my attention. They flash different colors. I tried to catch it in the pic on the right. They have the soft rubber bands and the white one glows in the dark. I paid $2 each and she sold them for $17.99 in her store. 

So all in all I paid $19 for $142 worth of product if I would've bought it in her store. 

So Thanks for looking. I enjoy sharing my hauls! I'm still trying to work on a schedule of when to post posts it's taking me a lot longer than I thought it would so stick with me I will get the hang of it soon. 

THANKS! 

*My Birthday Present To Me*

A vanity!!!! Well it's an early birthday present. I still have 15 days. :) But my makeup hoard was overtaking my extra small, shared by 3 people, bathroom. So I needed something! Some place to store all this wonderful goodness that is makeup and beauty supplies. ALSO for when we are all trying to get ready to go wherever it is kind of hard to all three fit in the bathroom. So yeah. I needed a vanity and I needed it now! I decided to put it in our bedroom. We had a huge dresser with a huge mirror that had cabinets and lit up. Yes it was very huge in our semi small bedroom. Well the room isn't small small but we have a California King bed and a huge headboard and foot board making it hard to move around when you have a huge dresser too. I had like 8 inches in between the bed and dresser to get to my side. Although It's an awesome vanity, it doesn't have a ton of storage so I am still on the lookout for more storage ideas. Ok I'll stop rambling and post the pics. :)

I love cats. All types. :) Thus the 2 dolls. I have another monster high one but she isn't here. I don't know. I realize I am 30 (almost) but I really liked these dolls. The clear organizer has my foundations and concealers and lipsticks. I think it was $4 at walmart. The thing holding my brushes was like $6 at walmart. It was neat though my very few owned bracelets added a neat look to it. It has 4 little cylinders that hold different size brushes or products. 

This is my drawers on the right side of the desk. The black container things are from Walmart I think for like $5 you get 3 of the long skinny ones, 2 larger ones and the 3 little ones. They interlock with each other. They were in the office organization area. And as I am writing this I realize I am a ditz and I forgot there was another drawer. You know one of those pencil drawers in the center. Ugg. I will fill it now. I was complaining that I needed more room but I have it. *facepalm*

 

The left picture is of the drawer on the left side of the desk. It has 2 really deep sections which is perfect. It fits my Conair vanity mirror perfect so I do not have to keep it on the desk the whole time :) The right picture is of what is in that silver basket that I paid $.25 for at a Hospice shop. It has 2 Eos glosses, my elf primers, a mineral foundation, a big hair clay sample and a elf cream foundation. Underneath it is a Elf Marble palette and the ELF Geometric palette. 

I saw someone do this on pinterest or youtube...one of those. They took 2 of these little 3 drawer organizers (I had these on hand) and put a board across the top for extra storage. I found this board, already painted - laminated white, at walmart for $6. This is the drawers on the right side. Top is lipsticks, the middle and bottom are lip glosses and treatments. 

These are the drawers on the left side. Top is mascaras, the bottom 2 are blushes and face products. The bottom one has some eye shadows and powders in it. That bottle of Elf HD liquid blush is like REALLY bright. I take a toothpick and dip it in it and that is still way too much. So that bottle will last me a long long time. 

This is the stuff under that shelf on the top of the desk. This is where I keep my extra tools, primers, cleaning wipes (mostly for swatches)  The blue basket has my eye cream, deodorant and my brush. 

This is some of my extra storage. The left pic is a (What do you call these!!!???) umm Picture/note holder? anyways I use it to hold all my glasses/sunglasses. The middle pic is of three little metal shelves I bought at a thrift store for $4. They hold my Soho Disney bags and my Elf Look Books. The third picture is a makeup travel organizer ($6 at a thrift store) I use it to hold my nail files, the middle holds my cotton balls and wedge applicators, the bottom has my hair clips and elastics. 

Yes I am ashamed to say this is all my nail colors. I have more coming in the mail but these are all the ones that made the "Keep" cut. :) Right pic is of 3 of my many many bags/purses. They were the only ones not being used so that is why there are only 3 there. These all came from a thrift store for $2 each. 

My on the floor storage. The bin has some of my extra makeup bags that I use to carry stuff with me. The right picture is of one of those larger 3 drawer organizer. This is the bottom drawer, the  other 2 just have samples and randomness. :) 

I hope you enjoyed my vanity pictures! And as always please come back soon. I should have another order come in this week sometime. I will definitely do a post. Comment and follow to keep updated when I post blog posts. :) And let me know what you want to see. I can do almost anything. :) Thanks!

Elf Haul Discovery Collection

      So last week I ordered from two different sales, the Halloween 50% off and the Discovery Collection. Well I posted the Halloween one the other day. Today I am going to post the Discovery Collection. Yah! I was just so excited that I got both orders within a week. So let's get started!

These are all the things I bought to get the $25 limit to qualify for the Discovery Set. 

First up! The Mineral Blush in Coral. I'm really liking this. I have worn it twice. It shows up on my face more than it does here on my hand. 

Next is a cream eye shadow from the studio line. It is in the color Teal Party. Once again I love this! Shows up better on my eyes with a primer but this pic does show a good representation of this color. 

This is a Mineral Eye shadow in Dreamy. Well I am not too sure if I like this product. I guess maybe you are supposed to mix it with something? I will have to look into it. I sound dumb I know but honestly I tried it with just the powder and it was really powdery. Like it needs something. The color is pretty. 

This next item I love love love. I keep packages of these everywhere. I have two in my car. I wanted to try a new scent so I got the sweet mango. I think this is my favorite. 

This brush has the tiniest amount of bristles on the end. I didn't have a smudge brush and I needed some extra stuff to make the $25 so I got this. We will see how it holds up. 

Next up are the lip glosses and lip sticks. Again, I needed some quick items to make up the $25. So I went straight for the essential $1 items. They are some great colors. I am definitely going to try them this week. 

I love how orange this one is!!!

 This is a little more bright pink than I like but I think I can make it work by just using very very little. 

This is a nice neutral shade. 

Now aren't these things the neatest ever! They are shadow and brush in one. It is like a pen. There is a spring under the brush that helps push it into the powder. Then you pull the "pen" out and there is shadow on the end. Awesome! 

I love this blue shade. Blue Icing. 

These are just two pressed powders from the essential line. They each come with a puff applicator thing. 

Eyebrow kit in Light.

Discovery Collection $36 worth for $3

Mineral Lip Gloss in Bare

3 Brushes: Eye shadow, Small Stipple, and Blending Eye brush

Matte Lip Color in Coral

Cream/Blush Bronzer in St Lucia

A set of nail files. 

 Nail Polish in Twinkle Twilight. It is so pretty. 

80 Piece Day to Night Palette. 

Glitter Primer in Sheer. 

Well that is the end of this haul. Thanks for tuning in!!! Please come back soon! Tomorrow is my shopping day so let us see what all I can find. :)

As always comment and sub please. let me know what you want to see from me.
