E.L.F. HOLIDAY BEAUTY BOOK (9 PAN OF SHADOWS)

Hi all,

I was very surprised to walk into Loblaw's and see a whole section during the holidays with various E.L.F. gift sets. I wanted to buy many, but I did refrain and picked the one I felt would be most useful for everyday and not just going on a crazy shopping tangent.

So the item I picked up is the

E.L.F. BEAUTY BOOK

This set includes 9 natural eyeshdaows, 1  brightening eyeliner pencil in Coffee and 1 dual ended sponge tip eyeshadow applicator (which I never use)

I am very happy with the eyeshadows they are all extremely buttery which I was a little reluctant with E.L.F. not that I don't think cheaper shadows can be just as good, it just seemed to good to be true.

TAKE A LOOK AT THESE BEAUTIES

I will just name these for you since they don't have any

Top row L2R- Champagne, Smokey Peach and Beige (matte)

Middle L2R- Copper, Burgundy Bronze, True Bronze

Bottom L2R- Taupe (matte), Deep Chocolate, Green golden brown

line is the eyeliner in Coffee

All the colours are shimmer with the exception of two matte shades, which I noted above.

This is a great classic palette to have on hand and for $9 you can't go wrong. It is rare to see E.L.F. products such as eyeshadow here in Canada unless you order from somewhere online. Definitely give this two big thumbs up.

DID ANY OF YOU GRAB AN E.L.F. GIFT SET OR RECEIVE ONE OVER THE HOLIDAYS????

THANK-YOU FOR YOUR ON GOING SUPPORT LOVELIES

XOXO:)





THE COLOR WORK SHOP "BESAME" LIP GIFT SET

This lip color gift set is by THE COLOR WORKSHOP, every year I see these types of sets appearing in Walmart, so this year I thought I would give it a try and see if its worth it. So the lip set consists of 5 lip crayons and 2 lip glosses.

The package opens like a story book and on the inside cover gives a quick blurb about the contents of the box.

L2R- Lavender, bubble gum pink, orange red, dark pink and coral. This is not the names I just wanted to give you some idea what the selections are because they are nameless.

The gloss on top is a peachy pink and the bottom is obviously a hot pink

These first two swatches are pretty weak in colour payoff which is the lavender and bubble gum pink

These two shades have better pigmentation but if your lips are dry it really shows with these



This last colour in the lip crayons is my favorite, it has that pretty coral shimmer finish that reflects nicely in the light.

The two glosses are really good colours, but I do find them slightly stickier then I prefer, they are useable though, and definitely not the worst I have tried.

I think this makes a great inexpensive gift for someone who is a fan of makeup, especially if you need a gift for a "Secret Santa" because its only $9 and the presentation of it is charming.

HAVE YOU EVER PURCHASED ANY SETS LIKE THESE BY COLOR WORKSHOP FOR CHRISTMAS FOR YOURSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE??? WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS?

THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT ASYLUMER'S

XOXO
