My first Order from ELF.COM!!

Hello everyone, so I've been gone a couple of days but now I'm back with a post about a recent purchase I made with ELF cosmetics. (Its my first purchase from them ever!) Here are the items that I choose to order:

100 Eyeshadow Palette $10

Brush Blush $3

Lipstick in Classy $1

Cream Eyeshadow in Dawn $3

Radiance Blush in Flushed in Glow $1 each

Shimmering Facial Whip in Golden Peach $3

Healthy Glow Bronzing Powder in Matte Bronze $1

Minty Lip gloss in Miami $3

Mineral Face Primer $6

Lipstick in Seductive $1

Sheer Eyeshadow Primer $3

And finally the Stipple Brush $3

They had a free shipping coupon code, only until May 2 so I used that. My total order came to $39.10. I just checked the status for my order and I'm estimating it will be here by Friday. So I really wanted the flat top brush they have, but its not in stock. I also wanted the Lipstick in runway pink and It was also not in stock. I can say that after checking reviews on YouTube, I am kind of mad that I order the eyeshadow palette, but hopefully I will like it more than others have. =/

I am excited for the Blush brush and the cream eyeshadow in Dawn. I was going to order the one in bronze but I didn't because I thought that I had something like it but I checked my makeup drawer last night and I discovered I must have given it away. Anyways, I will take pictures when I receive my order, and I will give my reviews on the products I end up loving and end up hating.

Royal Wedding!!

So, I was so excited to wake up today, since today was The Royal Wedding!! I recorded It and am watching It right now and Kate looks breathtakingly (is that how you spell it?? lol =]) beautiful!! I found out she did her own makeup and it looked great! My mom and I said last night that the dress would probably have some lace (which I love!) and most likely long sleeves (It was). I love the simplicity of the dress and makeup and hair. She is sooo lucky, a real life fairytale! (A normal girl becomes royalty!!).

1. I got teary eyed as she walked down the aisle.
2. I caught that moment Harry made a comment to William!! I wonder what he told him??
3. I missed that part where William tells Kate she looks beautiful.
4. I loved the part where they finally stood in front of everyone and had their first kiss as a married couple!! (soo sweet!!)
5. I love that you can really see the love between them! I loveeeed Princess Diana (my mom named me after her) and I think she would have been proud to see who he married today! I am sure her presence was there with them!!

So I wish them the best of luck and happiness in their marriage. What did you guys think of the Royal Wedding, and Kate??


P.S. I received my Everyday Minerals base today!! Wow, that was fast!! I love that it has a lil plastic piece that you can move to allow you to pick up product with the brush and then move again to cover the holes so you wont have a messy jar. Oh, and It's .19oz/5.5g of product for $12.

Review : Everyday Naturals Foundation

Hello everyone,

So I've been trying out the sample kit I had ordered from Everyday Minerals, and out of all the shades I tried, I ended up having Medium Tan as a match.

I've been using it for work and seeing how it held up. I have to say that I am in love with this product and just finished ordering a full size one for myself as well as my sister. (She is in the shade Tan). I like how lightweight it feels and how natural it looks.

The way I have been using it is, first I use Mac oil control lotion, and I apply that all over my face since my skin is super oily. Then I apply my Mark Get a Tint Tinted Moisterizer in Honey/Golden. (I concentrate on my Tzone). I really love this Tinted Moisterizer and I have been using it for about a year. The weather has finally gotten warmer here in Jersey so I really dont want anything heavy on my face.

Then I apply Everyday Minerals Foundation, Intensive Base in Medium Tan. It held up during my 9 hour workday. I had a bit of shine by the 6th hour or so but I applied abit more of the foundation on my Tzone and then I was fine. (I am actually looking for a new face primer, since I have always just used the Milk Of Magnesia but I want a primer that I wont be embarressed to whip out, lols.I have only tried one before, which was the Revlon primer and it broke me out completely. That might be the reason for the oilyness I had, so with a primer I think I will be fine.)

Now, I was surprised at how much product they actually gave me in the Sample. It is a tiny jar but its completely full and you dont need alot of product.

Okay now this is what it says on the website,

Intensive Base is oil absorbing, perfectly matte and ideal for heavier coverage in humid climates. Formulated for those with oily complexions who want the look of matte.
The Price is $12.00 for a full size and $2.50 for a sample size.

It is Perfectly Matte with extra coverage for Normal-Oily skin types.

Conclusion: I will continue to reccomend this to my other sisters, and anybody else that needs a foundation, especially now for the summer. I will also continue to purchase products from this site. I love how quickly I recieved my order the first time, (3 buisness days!) and the quality of the product itself is great.

I will post pictures when I recieve my order. ADIOS!!

Everyday Naturals Mini Haul

Well, I hope everyone had a fun Easter weekend. I spent it with family and ate lots of chocolate bunnies, hehe. So last week I was checking out a blog,  Life and Happiness  and I saw she had ordered samples from the Everyday Minerals site of their foundation, and only paid the shipping. Now I've had gotten a sample of the bare minerals foundation before and honestly I couldn't even see that I had any makeup on. But seeing that the Everyday Minerals was not as expensive and after checking out reviews on youtube I decided to give it a shot....So I decided to get the Try Me Kit in Mocha.

Try Me Free, in Mocha. $5.00 but when you checkout it comes up as $0.00

And what I got was 5 mini samples of colors that are in the Mocha family I guess you could say. Now I decided to go for the set with the Darkest colors just because Summer is almost here and I do tan alot in the Summertime... So here they are,

So I havent tried these out yet, and I would like to try them out for a couple of days before I review them but I will say that there are two of these that are closer to my skin tone. I'm excited for these and I look forward to using them over the next few days. Let me know what you guys think of these??

So of course I checked out a couple of the other things on the site. I needed a cuticle cream and they do have a cuticle butter so I decided to purchase one,


Lemon Symphony No.1 The Romance Of The Cuticle $4.00  .37 oz

First of all, I love the packaging. It came in a small pouch that I will probably reuse to store small acsesories when I travel. (I'm a total use and reuse fanatic!) As for the product itself it smells lemony and it really does hydrate my cuticles. (I gave myself a manicure today!)

Next I got their lip scub and this one smells alot like mint, which I LOVE!! I havent used it yet but I will also do a review on this in the future after I use it abit. I also love how it came in another small colorful pouch!!

Sumptuous Lip Polish $6.00  .60 oz  (Regular price is $7.00)

I love the smell of this!! I cant wait to use it.

Finally the have a Promo going on for the week where you enter Show Me as your promo code when you check out and they will send you a travel size green eyeshadow for Earth Day. The eyeshadow is called Show Me, hence the promo code. You do have to make a purchase of over $3.00 to recieve the free eyeshadow. Here it is,

It has gold sparkles that are very pretty. I think this will be nice now in the summer maybe on top of a Matte Green shadow. Or alone for a nice wash of color.

So all in all I am looking forward to trying out more things from this company. Some brushes, since the prices for them are reasonable and a few of the blush because I love blush!!

Here is a picture of everything,

It came like this

Are there any other products I should try out from Everyday Minerals??
