Best Elf Products Under $10

These are my favorite Elf products that I use daily.

Elf is one of the most affordable makeup brands available. Unfortunately, I feel many associate affordable with lower quality. This is sometimes true but I have found hidden gems in many affordable makeup brands. My three favorite products from Elf in order of most used include the Eyebrow Duo Brush, Contour Palette and the 16 HR Cameo Concealer. 

My favorite eyebrow brush.

Eyebrow Duo Brush

I use this brush everyday! It features an angled brush for filling in your eyebrows and a spoolie brush for styling. I had it for about three years before having to replace it recently. I highly recommend it and will keep repurchasing. $4

I especially like to use this when I travel or doing my makeup on the go.

Contour Palette in Dark/Deep

What I love most about this palette is the convenience of the bronzer with the large mirror. I use it as a bronzer palette not as a contour palette. It serves as my makeup mirror when I’m away and as my bronzer. It has four colors that blend well. This means less items in my bag. I recommend this if you travel constantly and need to make room in your bag. $8

I like to use this concealer when I don't want to wear foundation.

16 HR Cameo Concealer in Medium Beige

This concealer is great for when you want a “no makeup look.” I like using this concealer when I don’t want to put on a full face of makeup. I like using it on my trouble areas like my hyper pigmentation and just blend it out a bit. It works great alone but I have noticed it shows in the creases. $6

What are your favorite affordable makeup items? 

Thank you,

HAUL | Ulta: NYX, Revlon, derma

Hello marvelous readers! Today’s post comes to you from an unplanned trip to the mall, that turned into a great girls day out. It was a perfect Saturday morning in the most unexpected way. I have a schedule you see, every morning goes a little something like this: exercise, shower, work on blog etc... Well last Saturday when I was getting ready to work on my blog, my mom's cell phone rang, no I'm not clairvoyant, I just have fine tune hearing in my house. (and only there it seems...) It was my aunt inviting us to the mall and we went. As usual, I had to stop at Ulta, initially I was looking for that Kylie Jenner lipstick but ended up finding some other great, affordable products! So here is my little haul!

¡Hola maravillosos lectores! El post de hoy viene de un viaje espontáneo a las tiendas, que se convirtio en un gran girls day out. Era la perfecta madrugada de sábado en la manera más inesperada. Tengo un horario, cada mañana va algo asi: ejercisio, bañar me,  trabajar en mi blog etc… Bueno, el sábado pasado cuando me estaba alistando para trabajar en mi blog, el celular de mi mama soño, no soy clarividente, solo puedo oir muy bien en mi casa. (y aparece que solo allí…) Era mi tía invitandonos a las tiendas y fuimos. Como siempre, tuve que parar en Ulta, al principio estaba buscando ese pintalabios de Kylie Jenner pero termine encontrando otros productos ¡con precios razonables! ¡Ahor aquí estan mis compras!

Maybelline FaceStudio Master Conceal

Maybelline FaceStudio Master Conceal 40 Medium

Hello lovely readers! Today’s review is on the Maybelline FaceStudio Master Conceal. This concealer stood out to me when it first came out, not just for the nice packaging but because it was a liquid concealer. Not only that, but this liquid concealer was claimed to be full coverage. I have used many drugstore concealers to cover up my dark spots but none were a liquid formula. This is because I was taught that liquid concealers were for under the eye and were not full coverage. So, all the ones I have used for my dark spots, have had a thick consistency. Although they worked great, sometimes they can look cakey and take a while to blend. For this reason I was super excited to try this liquid concealer! Well, I’ll tell you right now, it did not disappoint! So far I really love it and will definitely be repurchasing.

Hola lectores preciosos! Hoy voy hablar sobre el Maybelline FaceStudio Master Conceal. Este corrector se destacó para mí desde que primero salió al mercado, no únicamente por el embalaje bonito pero porque era un corrector líquido. No solo eso pero, este corrector fue reclamado a tener cobertura completa. He usado muchos correctores para cubrir las manchas en mi cara pero ningunos de fórmula líquido. Esto se debe a que fui ensenada que correctores líquidos eran para abajo de los ojos y que no tienen cobertura completa. Entonces, todos lo que he usado para mis manchas, han tenido una consistencia gruesa. Aunque sí funcionaron muy bien, a veces se pueden notar mucho y ser difícil de mezclar. Por esta razón ¡estaba muy entusiasmada para tratar este corrector líquido! Bueno, les digo ahorita, ¡no decepciona! Me encanta y definitivamente lo voy a comprar otra vez.
