The only way I can justify this (pathetic excuse of a) haul is that I was not feeling well today and needed a pick-me-up. I don't know why it just wasn't my day, but at least it's almost over. :)
I went to a ton of different stores today (In the mall, and then Target, Walgreens, and Walmart) searching for something that peeked my interest, and nothing really did it. I even found the infamous Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure nail polish at Walmart, but still couldn't justify spending $6.50 on it. It is beautiful, though! It stinks having to really cut back on shopping, lol.Anyway, I settled on only two things from ELF that I've been kind of curious about recently- the Tone Correcting Concealer in Light Beige and Shimmering Facial Whip in Lilac Petal. I don't know if anyone has a strong desire to hear about these, but here they are just incase:
Bottom line about these: Skip the concealer. It's only $1, but it doesn't work very well at all.
Now the Facial Whip I like. I had read reviews about it being too shimmery, but just a little on my cheekbones and browbones I think is super pretty. I used it over my foundation but under my powder, so it toned down the shimmer quite a bit.
Now onto my EOTD, which is a bronzy-brown experiment! I hardly ever do brown.
I call this an experiment because I used my ELF Golden Bronzer as eyeshadow. I didn't mix the colors, but used three of the four separately. I also broke out my ELF mineral eyeshadows; Wild in my outer crease and Innocence as a shimmery highlight. Using that bronzer as eyeshadow was a success, though, I think!
Products used:
-ELF Tone Correcting Concealer as eye base (I'm still avoiding my old Almay eye base)
-ELF Golden Bronzer
-ELF mineral eyeshadows in Wild and Innocence
-Mary Kay eyeliner in Amethyst
-Covergirl Exact Eyelights mascara in Black Ruby
I love how the eyeliner and mascara are practically the same color! Both are a purple-gold hybrid with beautiful sheen.
Have a great night everyone!
