E.L.F haul came.

that freaking took forevs! well, the whole initial processing part in the actual warehouse didn't take long, it was the damn delivery! fedex is on my shit list at the moment.

anywho, i didn't actually purchase any actual makeup items. i did however purchase a few tools and nail polishes.

-total face brush
-concealer brush
-eyeshadow brush
-defining eyeshadow brush
-blending eye brush
-eyelash curlers
-dramatic lash kit
-travel mirror compact
-slant tweezers
-nail polishes in light red, dark red, black, plum, burgundy, and clear.

THE BRUSHES

total face brush
what is up with the gasoline/paint thinner smell?? i've washed the damn thing twice and it still has the funk. the hairs are a weird shade of red that did bleed during washes. it's soft across the palm of my hand, but a bit prickly when used on the face. full, but not dense. have no immediate plans on using it, but maybe just for applying blush on the apples of my cheeks.

concealer brush
i normally use my ring finger when dabbing and blending out concealer on my undereyes. this brush is small, which i guess is ideal for small areas that need to be..well..concealed, but it takes too much damn time to use on a large area like my undereyes, but hey, it does the job.

eyeshadow brush
lah-love this brush! perfect for packing on color to your lids! big enough to get the job done quickly, but small enough to really pay attention to detail. MUST HAVE.

defining eyeshadow brush and blending eye brush
angled. soft bristles. works well to accentuate the outer v's of your lids. blending brush is soft too. short bristles and dense. perfect for blending. a little prickly, but not too bad. definitely gets the job done.

FOR THE LASHES AND MISC.
tweezers.
suck ass, but they are aesthetically pleasing to the eye. they're silver and sleek, but they still suck ass.

dramatic eyelash kit
they're not as dramatic as i'd hope. they look like another brand's version of natural eyelashes, but they still do add that extra bit of vavavoom to the eyes. can't complain.

mirror
it's a mirror. it does what it has to do with one side having a regular reflection and the other side magnified. a little difficult to open at times, but all in all, it's okay.

NAIL POLISHES
these are great! THEY APPLY SO EVENLY! i don't have the best hand when applying nail polishes. they usually turn out to be streaky and uneven, but i didn't have that problem with these polishes! the lastability is amazing too since my hands are constantly in water. these are a great buy and i'm looking into getting the rest of the shades!


all in all, i'm happy with this haul. everything i bought was a dollar a peice and with the coupon code CAROLINA, i was able to receive 50% off on purchases up to 15 bucks.
