Random make up favorites: E.L.F., Milani, L'Oreal, etc.

I've had these products for a while and I have been using them to  see if I like them.  So here are my thoughts.  

First up is E.L.F. Studio blushes.  These retail at $3 each.  I can say WOW?  I mean look at how much you get for $3.  You can find these at some Target stores, there is one by me that do not stock these (BOO).  I just found out that the Walmart nearest to me is now carrying E.L.F. products.  I was so excited to see the display.  I didn't get these all at once but I do have 4 in my collection.  Starting from top left is Tickled Pink, Candid Coral, bottom left is Pink Passion and bottom right is Mellow Mauve.  All look amazing on the cheeks.  They go on sheer at first but I think can be build up to be darker.  But for the price, you can't say no.  

Next up is Milani HD lip sticks.  The packaging is very classy and elegant.  The texture of these lips sticks are amazing.  I feel like not enough people talk about these lip sticks.  I think they are great.  I only have them in the 2 shades I felt I could pull off.  Classy Nude and Raspberry Blush.  Mine are a little dirty cause I have been using it everyday.  

I have one of the new Rimmel Kate Moss lip sticks.  The color I got is #14, there are no color names of these lipsticks.  This is a nude color also and it is very similar to L'Oreal's Fairest Nude but has a more perfume-y scent which a lot of people are not fond of.  I don't mind it.  But it does have a plastic chemical smell to it. There isn't much to rave about this lip stick, it's pretty general to me.  I just really like the color.  

I love these Maybelline Baby Lips.  I have it in Peach Kiss and Pink Punch.  The scents and taste match the name.  Pink Punch offers the most color payoff than the Peach Kiss.  But I definitely like both of these.  I also have the Grape and Cherry flavor (I don't know what the exact names are sorry :( ) but these 2 are my favorites.  

I got 2 of the L'Oreal Infallible Cream eye shadows.  These are a bit pricey but the 2 shapes I got are worth it.  I received Amber Rush and Endless Pearl.  Amber Rush is very shimmery and must be used with a light finger. This one is very pigmented.  Endless Pearl is a wonderful matte cream/white color.  I use this as a base or as my brow highlighter.  

 I also got the Maybelline Color Tattoo.  There is so much hype on these and they truly lived up to it for me. Obviously since I got them in 5 shades.  I got Tough as Taupe, Pomergranate Punk, Too Cool, Audacious Asphalt and Bad to the Bronze.  My go to colors are Too Cool and Bad to the Bronze.  But all are very pigmented and stay on for a long time.  I am not sure if they stay on 24 hours but who would wear makeup for 24 hours straight?

Swatches from left to right: Tough as Taupe, Audacious Asphalt, Pomegranate Punk, Bad to the Bronze and Too Cool.

So I jumped on the band wagon when all the different lip balms/butters came out.  I did invest in a lot of lip butters and I think only one was a favorite but I don't use everyday.  Above I talk about the Baby Lips which I use as normal lip balm under my lip color.  Then I got the L'Oreal The Balm.  I love the formula of these much more than the others.  It's very creamy and the finish is very glossy, like a lip gloss.  The  shades I got don't have that much color pay off but it's enough when my lip stick has worn off, like after lunch and I need something moisturizing with a hint of color.  I do use these everyday.  I got Nourishing Nude and Caring Coral.  I did swatches but there was very little color difference.  I do want to try one more shade in Berry something.  I can't remember but I will know it when I see it.  I saw another review with good detailed swatches and I would be interested in a darker pink color.  I would wait for when these are on sale also. I got these when Rite Aid had the BOGO 1/2 off sale.

This was a pretty random post with a little bit of everything.  I am way behind on my posts and I have collectively taken pictures and notes on different products and it just got too much for my brain to hold.  I am hoping that I can maintain some time to review products one by one and more in depth.  I have many nail design photos that I need to post also.  I haven't done any new crotchet projects but I am hoping to start on a few soon.
