Revlon & ELF Mini-Haul!

Hi everyone!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I promise I'll do better now that school's back in and I'm not running around all over the place :D

I recently went on a mini-shopping spree at ELF and REVLON and I'm really excited to share what I purchased and my initial reactions to the products.

First off, we have the ever so popular Complexion Perfection Powder.

(I purchased this after watching PincStuff's review of it and I have to say, she was right on!)

It's super silky to the touch and so after I applied it with my new Elf Powder Brush, it feels great on my skin. I'll keep you posted on this little beauty!

Next, I got the Studio Powder Brush which I also purchased after seeing PincStuff's reveiw. So far I really like it. The bristles are super soft and it's pretty densely packed. The only thing is that it smells a bit like chemicals so I'll have to wash it post haste.

Next up, Elf's Professional Bronzing Brush. Initially, I was shocked by the bright red bristles so I have a feeling it's going to bleed pretty bad after I wash it. Other than that, the bristles are pretty soft so we'll see how it does.

I also purchased Elf's nail polish in Chocolate. I really loved MeePoCow's vlog about dark nails so I decided to give this deep brown color a try. It smells like normal nail polish (don't ask why I sniffed it) so I assume with the proper base and top coats, it should be really nice.

Next, I have Elf's All Over Color Stick in Pink Lemonade. I really hoped that it would smell like lemons but alas, it does not. It's a really pretty pink color with shimmer so it would be a nice blush or lip color.

The final thing that I purchased was the Natural Radiance Blusher in Glow (also a MeePoCow recommendation). It's a really nice coraly pink color and I'm really excited to try it out.

The final two things I got as gifts or I don't remember purchasing really:

Elf's Candy Shop Lip Gloss in Melon Mayhem.

It smells really nice. The only thing that concerns me is the amount of glitter in the pan... and yes I mean GLITTER. I do however like the smell so aside from the glittery-ness of it I may like it.

Lastly, I don't remember buying this but it was in my bag and that is the professional blending eye brush. I do own one already so I was pretty extatic to see another one in the package because I love these brushes.

So that's it for my mini-Elf Haul.

Next up, my super-mini Meijer Haul!

I only bought two things when I went to Meijer the other day and they are from Revlon.

The first thing I bought was the ColorStay Mineral Lipglaze in Unlimited Nectar. I own one of these in Neverending Nude which I really really love a lot.

This is a really nice nude-ish color. It's sort of pearlized with pinks and greens in it but it looks really natural on the lips and it stays decently.

My one gripe is the stinkin' taste. It's gross. Horrible in fact. But besides that, I love it.

The other product I bought was the ColorStay lipcolor in Smooth Nude (clearly I have a thing for nude lips these days!) I like it I guess. It's a bit on the cakey side so you really have to have smooth lips for this to look decent and it's really quite matte too so it offers no conditioning properties.

I do have to say that I probably wouldn't buy another one again because it's quite pricey even for a drugstore lipstick. I think that I'll stick with Maybelline's Moisture Whips since they are like heaven in a tube.

Thanks for reading! Have a great weekend!
