Sorry, I haven't been too active lately, June is full of essays/midterms PLUS, I don't have my camera with me but luckily I remember I made a couple purchases before that I haven't shared with you guys yet and that I have already taken some pictures of them!! =] So this will do =]...
Let me start with ELF and then I'll move on to the things I bought from Marlena (Youtuber), I only got 3 things.
 |
Everything came inside this ELF plastic bag. Surprisingly my package came really fast, took about 2 weeks instead of 1 month!! =] and they didn't charge me extra custom fees like my previous order maybe because I only bought a few things this time instead of the $100 I spent last time. One con was that they left out one item from my list because they sold out and they didn't adjust my bill =[. But it's okay it's only $3 and it was probably one of the free items because I had a coupon code for 5 free eye and lip Studio Products when you spend $25 or more.
-Everything shown on the picture below are priced as follow:
- Regular Line = $1
- Studio Line = $3
-Studio Line 32- E/S palette = $5-Shipping fees varies by country
- But never buy ELF without a coupon code because there's always one! |
 |
Out of the bag in their packaging, missing the 32-eyeshadow Palette: Everyday Basic |
 |
Out of the package, note the false lashes are brown! because they ran out of black and I really wanted to try some lashes. These are my first ones ever. |
 |
From left to right, top to bottom
-Studio Line Blush: Peachy Keen, Candid Coral, Mellow Mauve
-Studio Line Complexion Brush, Regular Line Eyeshadow brush, Studio Line: Cream Eyeliner in Black, Single E/S in Saddle and Butter Cream and Regular Line Lucious Liquid Lipstick in Baby Lips
-Natural Lash Kit in Brown
- Studio Line: Conditioning Lip Balm SPF 15 in Nice and Natural and they left out my Peaceful Pink =[ |
 |
Bad picture with flash: But you can see the blushes better =]First impression is that the blushes look sooo similar in real life, eye shadows are not pigmented, eyesadow brush seems stiff, liquid lipstick has so little product. But definitely loving the complexion brush, cream eye liner and the super pigmented conditioning lip balm s2

$5.00 USD
32 Eyeshadow Palette in Everyday Basics

With Flash

A sample swatch of some shadows with no primer underneath. There are not that pigmented but still great to play around with as a beginner so I don't over load my brush with pigmented shadow that I can't reverse! and this entire palette is only $5! I think it's totally worth it.
|
ELF: Subtotal was $25 USD and after shipping and handling my total came to $35 CAN =]
Will be doing more in depth review/swatch/pictures after I have tried them for a while (might take long since I rarely use makeup specially eye makeup =P)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now on to Makeupgeek's Store =]. I got a great deal because she has good prizes in comparison to the official retailers. For example, I bought two BeautyBlender sponges for $22.99 USD (but now it cost $23.99 ><) in comparison to $25.99 USD at sephora.com
 |
2 BeautyBlender, NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk (matte white) and Makeupgeek bent eyeliner brush (dislike it, can't deliver a thin line)
|
 |
$22.99 but now selling for $23.99
-2 BeautyBlender, comes with a sample of their cleanser which I have not tried yet but I love the beautyblender and I seriously use this every single day and stopped using all my foundation brushes. Can turn your cakey powder foundation into a dewy silky foundation that still delivers coverage s2
|
 |
$3.49 USD
-NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk (Matte white, love to use this to highlight my brow bone and tear duct).
Pigmented, very creamy and blendable

Don't quite like this yet because I can't get a thin line with this brush but will still use this, maybe with an dark eye shadow to create a thicker softer line for a natural look?

Is that a spelling mistake? or is that the actual name? Idk |
My purchase at Makeupgeek came to a total of around $35 shipping included (No tax!) and shipping came really fast around 1-2 weeks
