BFTE Cosmetics Haul

Thursday, June 23, 2011

About 2 months ago I purchased from Beauty From The Earth cosmetics and well I lost the package.

Long behold, it was shoved in side my plastic organizing bin.

So without further a do, here is my review.......

http://www.bftecosmetics.com

*Sifters were included, but I never use them. I don't like them.*

These were the sample size jars!

They were all $2.00 a piece.

(L-R) Tropical - Midnight Kisses - Bondage - Very Vanilla - Rasberry

SWATCHES

Now...the Full Size Jars I ordered...

(L-R) (Limited Edition) Oxford ($4.99)- Dew Drop (COTW - $2.00)

*COTW - Color of the Week!

Swatches - These two colors were hard to catch.

Photos don't give either enough credit, especially the Oxford.

Oxford is like a peachy pink with glitter--drool!

Overall I would say that I am impressed. I am more of a HEY LOOK AT ME eyeshadow person but these colors cover your basics. My favorites out of the bunch are Midnight Kisses, Very Vanilla and Oxford. Those will most likely be the ones I re-stock when necessary! The pigments go on the skin really smooth. There is no odor to the shadows. All shadows were applied to skin with no primer.

Hope you enjoyed!

What's your favorite BFTE color?

E.L.F Essential Lip Sticks

Wednesday, June 1, 2011

Previously I posted that I had ordered from www.eyeslipsface.com when they were having a sale on their mineral eyeshadows. If I purchased $25.00 or more I got 10 free eyeshadows. Well since I have a ton of their products already, I was just buying cheap fillers...

I decided to try their Essential Lip Sticks that cost $1.00 a piece. I bought 4 of them.

LEFT TO RIGHT: Nostalgic, Classy, Captivating and Flirtacious.

Packaging:

Package says they are made in China.

(WITH FLASH)

LEFT TO RIGHT: Nostalgic, Classy, Captivating and Flirtacious.

The tube itself is very light, probably the equivalent to two nail files.

They have a fruity smell to them.

They go on very smooth and are soft.

Only thing I had happen is when I did the swatches, 3 of the lip sticks broke on me. Now I don't know if it has anything to do with the heat and humidity we have in Eastern PA right now, but it made me sad. OR maybe it's because they were $1.00 each.

The Swatches:

Overall I give the lip stick 3 "stars"

Based on price and color.

I most likely won't purchase anymore.

I do love the mineral eyeshadows from e.l.f and pretty much

everything else I've boughten from them. Can't have everything!

E.L.F Cosmetics Order!

Friday, May 27, 2011

So last Sunday I ordered from e.l.f Cosmetics when they had a sale. If you spent $25.00 you got 10 free mineral eyeshadows! So of course I ordered. The eyshadows are $3.00/piece so $30.00 for free! Can't beat it.

Personally I feel the e.l.f can be deceiving with their packaging because it looks a little on the "cheap" side so automatically you think, oh these products must be terrible, but I honestly love them!

Here's what I bought!

Packaging always comes in a nice bag!

(This is my 3rd order with them)
