ELF COSMETIICS LOTION WIPES

Elf Cosmetics Lotion Wipes


I am so incredibly happy that elf cosmetics came out with these lotion wipes! I have always had dry skin and it made wearing foundation horrible! My face would always look extra flakey after putting on my foundation and even after trying multiple products nothing helped. Well that changed once I purchased the Studio Lotion Wipes in Vanilla & Coconut (Retail $3; 20 wipes). These have helped my dry face so much; I no longer even have dry skin on my face. I use these in the morning before applying my make-up and then I use them at night after I take my make-up off with elf's studio make-up remover pads. I can now say that I no longer have a dry face which makes using foundation so much easier! I have yet to try the other scents, mostly because they are sold out right now. I would recommend these to anyone!! Plus they smell really good!! I also love the packaging, they are easy for travel and small enough to throw into my purse for when I am on the go.

MY ELF COSMETICS COLLECTION
&
FAVORITES!

I have been asked many times by a few different people to do a post on my elf cosmetics collection. Well that day has come and I have taken pictures to show you what I have. I know, I know, I am an elf addict and need to stop buying more products but that didn't stop me from buying a couple things during their 50% site wide sale yesterday! I did not include my brushes, make-up remover pads, lotion pads, or cleaning tools in this. I would also like to let you all know that this is NOT a brag, I have had requests to do this and decided to finally give in. I bought all of these products myself and I am in no way associated with elf, I just love their make-up!
So without further ado here is my collection:

I will admit, I am addicted to fingernail polish. I have so many colors that I am sure they will go bad before I can use them all up. Today's nail colors are by Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear in 'Mint Sorbet' with a top coat of Sally Hansen's Crackle Overcoat in 'Fractured Foil'.

YAY FOR NEW FINGER NAIL POLISH!
Sally Hansen's new Magnetic nail color review!


I was at Target today and saw this in the cosmetics aisle. I thought that I might as well try it since I have heard good things about it. I got mine in 'Silver Elements'(Retail Price $8.99) You put on your first coat then when putting on the second coat do one fingernail at a time; after painting a fingernail you take the lid of the polish and put the magnet up to your nail and the wave appears in just seconds. It is so easy to do and makes nails look great. This is now a must have in my nail polish collection, so I will be going back for more!

Not-So-New Favorite Perfume!




This is the Aeropostale Aero NYC 1987 Fragrance. You can buy it at any Aeropostale store or on their website. I lost this baby for a couple months and ref-ound it recently and I forgot how much I love it! It has a mixture of a floral and citrus scent and is light on smelling. I have become re-addicted to it and I have even dumped out one of my sample size vial perfumes to re-fille it with this one. I also love the bottle it is adorable!! The only downfall to this perfume is the price, I have the small bottle (.5 FL OZ) and it cost $12.50. So it is a bit pricey. I would definitely recommend this!

Living Proof frizz Nourishing Styling Cream
REVIEW



Description:
Stops frizz. Period.
Weightlessly blocks humidity
Smooths and conditions
No heavy silicones or oils

I received this sample bottle of Living Proof frizz Nourishing Styling Cream in my June Myglam Bag Subscription. The sample size is 2 fl oz (Retail $15) and it comes in the cute container pictured above. I was excited to try this because I live in a humid area. I was tired of styling my hair then stepping outside and having my hair go crazy with frizz. The first thing I will mention about this product is that it smells great! It has a floral scent to it; it is not too strong or too light, it's just perfect! I tested this product out for the first time today after I showered I put a small amount into my hair while it was still wet and I have to say that I absolutely love it! It does exactly as it says. My hair is still smooth and has no frizz to it what-so-ever, even after being outside for the 4th of July. I would not only recommend this product but I will be ordering a full-sized bottle of it.
Yay for Myglam Bag!
