e.l.f. Eyeshadow Palette -Mad for Matte

~Weekly Product Highlight~e.l.f. Eyeshadow Palette -Mad for Matte~

 

I had ordered this e.l.f. Eyeshadow Palette -Mad for Matte a long time ago, and it took so long to arrive that I had almost given up on it and then had I actually forgotten about it.  Unfortunately, it is sold out on the elf website, but can usually be found at Target and CVS and Target.com.

I just love matte neutral shadows!

 

I purchased this matte palette on the recommendation of Tati from GlamLifeGuru on YouTube.  She always give the best recommendations, so I knew that it was going to be a great palette.

Here is what I think about this palette…

Pros:
This 10 shade palette only cost $10!
The shadows are smooth and creamy.
They apply easily and blend like a dream.
You can easily get a complete eye look out of this one palette.
There are so many options for a great crease shade and several great transition shades.

Cons:
While there are 10 shades in this palette several of them are so similar that when used together they look like the same shade.
It can end up looking muddy if blended all together.
It is constantly “sold out” so it is not easy to get your hands on.

Yes, there are actually 10 shades swatched in this picture.  I am just so ghostly pale that 3 blend right in rather than stand out!

What does the elf website have to say about the Mad for Matte Palette…

“details

Achieve both beautifully bold or subtle everyday eye looks with these perfectly curated 10 matte eyeshadow shades. This collection of hues is ideal for shading, highlighting, and defining the eyes. The satin matte shadows can be used as a liner, on the lid, and in the crease of the eye for an expertly contoured and blended look.

how to use
  1. Apply dry all over the eyelid with a brush for a subtle wash of color or apply wet for a vibrant effect.
  2. Start with a light color and apply the shade all over your eyelid as a base.
  3. Next, apply a medium shade over the eyelid and the eye crease using the crease brush.
  4. Finally, apply the darkest shade over your eyelid. ”

I love the packaging, it is so simple and sleek.

Have you tried this palette yet?  What did you think?  I think for an overall inexpensive  brand, E.L.F. has some really great products!

e.l.f. Powder Blush Palette

~Weekly Product Highlight~ e.l.f. Powder Blush Palette~

You need this in your life!  I am telling you, stop what you are doing and go get this e.l.f. Powder Blush Palette! Ok, maybe that is a little dramatic, but these blushes are really awesome!  They give the face such a beautifully pigmented glow!  I am so impressed with the quality of these blushes.

e.l.f. Powder Blush Palette | lookingjoligood.wordpress.comThey come in two different options: light and dark.  I have the light palette, but the dark one is so beautiful, I think eventually I may get that one as well.  For only $6 you get 4 beautiful different shades of blush.

Upside…each of the pans can be popped out. So if you want to rearrange or interchange the colors of this palette with one of their other palettes you can.  It can also be interchanged with the products from the e.l.f. Total Face Palette as well.

Downside… these shades are only offered together  in this palette and not sold individually.  While they do not have the exact shades sold separately, they do have some similar shades such as the Studio Pressed Mineral Blush in Jet Setter and Cabo Cabana; or the Studio Blush in Blushing Rose or Berry Merry.  Personally, I think the blushes from the palette are much better than the ones that are sold individually, imo.

e.l.f. Powder Blush Palette | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

I am going to be honest with you, the first time I applied this blush I wasn’t expecting it to be quite so pigmented and I may have ended up looking a little bit like a clown!  That is ok, I love me some blushed cheeks, haha! Since then, I have found that applying the blush not only with a very light hand but also by applying it with a stippling brush.  This gives me a much better, more natural look.

What does the e.l.f. website have to say about this …

details

This beautiful blush palette holds 4 gorgeous shades to mix and match throughout the year for a custom blended color. Great for contouring, shading, sculpting, and highlighting, these silky smooth blushes create a beautiful pigmented glow. With a mixture of complimentary matte and shimmer finishes, you can achieve a professional look every time.

how to use

Choose your preferred blush shade and apply to the cheeks or area you wish to contour or highlight and blend in.

Mini Drugstore Haul

LauraJoli LookingJoliGood4 Comments

Remember those Maybelline and Garnier coupons I posted at the end of August? Well, I finally used them (and a few others) and picked up a few things at the drugstore today.

As you may remember, I love the Maybelline SuperstayBetter Skin Foundation.  During the summer I was a wearing the shade 20, but now that the fall/winter is coming I need a lighter shade so I picked up 15, the next shade down.  I love that this foundation has a pump!

Do you keep tabs on recommendations from other beauty “gurus”?  I have heard so many great things about the Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Poreless foundation, so I wanted to try it out for myself.  I bought the shade 115.  I’ll let you know how I like it.

The Maybelline Great Lash mascara is basically like the most iconic of all mascaras.  As much as I love mascara, surprisingly, I have never tried this one.  I am looking forward to seeing what I think and if lives up to the hype.

I have been using Yes to Grapefruit Daily Facial Scrub for about a month or so now, and I do really like it.  I figured I would try out the Garnier Grapefruit version and see how it compares.

The Simple MicellarWater and Aussie 3 Minute Miracle are both product that I have heard so many YouTubers talk about.  I figured that since I had a $2 off coupon for both of them, it was definitely worth giving them a try.

As for the Suave lotion, I have been using it for years and know that it is something that I love and will repurchase over and over again.  Not to heavy or greasy, not to overly scented.
