Hi cuties! So you know what being in Canada means....
Finally being able to order and try out all of the products from the U.S. I've ever dreamed of!
One morning, getting ready for my morning class, I was sitting at my table applying my everyday eyeliner and had an epiphany! Applying my eyeliner, I dipped my applicator into what was left of the product and sighed... Well, I can't restock on anymore of my holy grail liquid liner here... And it must be forever until I'll be able to visit Australia. What am I mean't to do now??? Then all of the raved eyeliner products I've ever heard of were scrolling through my head... And I realised... I don't have to keep dreaming about owning the products anymore! Since I'm in Canada - I can buy them all!
So visiting google, typed 'elf' and hitting enter on my keyboard, it brought me to the magical site of
elf, which for lucky me, was having free shipping at the time (I wouldn't have purchased w/o free shipping otherwise....ha). Quickly filling up my shopping card, then reducing it to 7 items, my total came to $19. Are you serious elf? This is awesome!
...But you better be damn good.
I received the package in about two weeks - All of the goodies came in a drawstring plastic elf bag with the receipt. At this time, I was studying for my Macroeconomics midterm (I'm not proud to say that it's the first time I've ever studied properly...) so you can see my Study Buddy pills sitting at the upper corner in the picture above "It's practically cheating!".
From left to right:
Eyelash Curler ($1.00)
Small Stipple Brush ($3.00)
Cream Eyeliner - Black x2 ($3.00)
HD Blush - Showstopper & Superstar ($3.00)
Contouring Blush and Bronzing Powder - St. Lucia ($3.00)
All of the products were $3.00 and under!
I'll definitely be giving individual reviews for the Cream Eyeliner, HD Blush and Eyelash Curler!
1. Cream Eyeliner - Black ($3.00)
I ordered two of these babies! I wear eyeliner on a daily basis so I felt like this is something I definitely needed to stock up on - and I was right! Amazing staying power and pigmentation!
2.
Eyelash Curler ($1.00)
I bought this as a shopping cart filler since it was only
one dollar (and because the rating was four and a half stars....). But I didn't
expect much, I could have been the 5% that thought this product was terrible -
but no sirree, I'm so glad I didn't! No pinches and an innovative spring for lash-curling ease!
3. HD Blush - Showstopper & Superstar ($3.00)
I've only swatched these but I can already say the pigmentation is amazing (and difficult to simply rub off...). Super excited to get around to using them properly!
4. Contouring Blush and Bronzing Powder - St. Lucia ($3.00)
Looks familiar hey, I'm pretty certain that this blush/bronzer duo was inspired by NARS' Orgasm/Laguna duo... Just a slight feeling. I've only tried this out three times so far and it works great, already a long time Laguna user, I can certainly opt for this cheaper alternative once I hit pan!
And that's it - I can't wait to have time to blog some more!
An update:
I've moved to Canada! I'm still feeling like I'm trying to settle in after two months of being here.
Blogging wise, I've been everywhere, literally - after a long hiatus, hopping from
Wonderarsy to
Alice&Milz...
But I'm pretty sure the latter will stay.
So, I'll also be blogging on:
Lifestyle blog -
Alice&Milz
Food blog -
Meet&Eats
Hopefully you can join me on my journey over there - thanks for viewing ☺!
