Product review sneak peek!

Hi, Beauties!

So, just to give everyone a little sneak peek at the ELF review to come in the near future, I wanted to post a list of the products that I've ordered. In fact, that should be arriving tomorrow! I'm super excited to try them out and to let everyone know how they work. I do want to say, though, sometimes products that don't work out for one person, end up being really great for someone else. I do my best to give straight forward info in my reviews, but when it comes down to it, it's my opinion of the product. So even if I give something a bad review, if you really want to try it, go for it. And if I give something a great review, and you try it and end up hating it, please don't hate on me! Anyway, here's a little peek at the products I'll be trying over the next week or so, with a review to follow shortly after.


  1. Make-up mist and set. This product is sprayed on after you apply your make-up, and it is supposed to seal your make-up and keep it lasting all day.
  2. Wet gloss lash and brow clear mascara. This product can be used in a couple different ways: on your brows, to give them a nice finish and help keep them in line and cleanly styles. And on your lashes for a glossy wet look.
  3. Eye make-up remover pads. I've actually used these before and I loved them. So I'm trying them again. They're pretty self-explanatory. They're used to remove eye make-up.
  4. All over cover stick (in the color Ivory). I'm very fair skinned, so my biggest concern is that even the lightest color of this product might be too dark. Secondly, I hope for good coverage with smooth application that stays smooth all day, without cakiness or flakiness. The purpose of a cover stick is to help cover blemishes and imperfections. Using a foundation helps with additional coverage and smoothing out your skin tone.
  5. Eye lid primer. This is another step in making sure your make-up stays where you put it and lasts all day without creasing. They had a couple color options, and I chose "nude".
  6. Shimmering facial whip in "persimmon". This color is a pretty, deep pink. I'm hoping it will be similar to maybelline's mousse blush, which also has a shimmer, and I absolutely adore it. I also purchased this product in "pink lemonade" for my sister, which is a bit of a lighter pink shade.
  7. Therapeutic conditioning lip balm in "strawberry creme". This is supposed to condition your lips, making them nice and soft. I don't think they are supposed to add any color. I also bought this in "vanilla creme" for my sis.
  8. Stipple brush. This type of brush is used to apply facial products with a technique called stippling. It is supposed to have a nicer finish similar to airbrushing. I'll likely do a tutorial on this method sometime.
  9. My sister purchased a contouring blush and bronzing powder set to try. It's suppose to be a dupe of a high end product, but for the life of me, I can't remember which product! I'll update when I figure it out.
So, there you have it, a list of the products I'm eagerly waiting for. I also want to try the lip plumping gloss. And I have great news for all the girls on the Indiana University campus! Target now has a permanent ELF section! They have many of the products available online, including their studio line. So to save myself from paying crazy shipping fees, I'll pick up the lip plumping gloss there. So excited to see what else will spark my interest! And I really enjoy reading the reviews on products, in gives some insight.

I hope you all tune in to the next video!
