Coastal Scents Revealed 2 Palette!

 So i oredered this palette from the states after all the reviews i had heard on you tube about it. The palette was $20.00 in a half price sale and postage was around $17.00 (i think). I received this package around a week and a half after i ordered it and along with it i got some cool free extras! Who doesn't love a freebie ehh?? The extras that came along with the palette consisted of two I LOVE MAKE UP stickers which i think are quite cool, some information on their products and a sample of eye shadows from one of their other palettes. When i first looked at the palette i have to say i was really disappointed by the packaging as it is flimsy and quite cheap looking. However im over that now, I really love the colours in this palette, the pigmentation isn't of the highest quality i have ever used but despite all that i do love this palette... :)

The look i created using my new palette!!

Quick Tutioral...

I have to be honest i had to slightly had to dampen my arm so the top row of swatches were visible. These colours are not as pigmented as i had thought they were going to be as i have heard so much good things about them, however this palette has some GORGEOUS colours and the shadows work very well when used on a damp brush and are very long lasting. In my make up pictures the shadows are used dry.

I used this cream shadow by Benefit in a gold colour to prime my lid...

 I then took the top colour (pearly white) and placed the shadow on the inner corners of my eyes. I took the bottom colour (gold) and placed it all over the moving part of the lid.  I packed it on generously.

I took the a pointed brush and applied some of the colour in the top picture in and above the crease, applying it in wiper motion. I repeated this step with the colour from the bottom picture. I wanted this look to be quite dramatic so i blended these shadows high on the brow bone with my MAC 217 blending brush.

I then took a rounded bullet brush and placed black in the outer V of my eye. I placed this using small circular movements and then gently blended it being careful not to drag this black colour to high. I then took a large fluffy blending brush and sweeped this maroon colour that i had previously used in the crease,  above the crease just to give it back any colour i had lost while blending...

With my elf smude bush (LOVE this brush) one by one i placed these colours under the eyes to increase that smudged out dramatic smokey eye effect. As always i used my MAC blacktrack eyeliner to crate a super winged out eyeliner effect. 

 COMPLETED LOOK!! 

Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoyed!

 FESTIVAL MAKE UP !!

As its that time of year when we dig out our wellies, flower head bands and tents, i thought i would share my simple festival make up look with you guys and show you the products i have used to achieve this look. 

I went for a purple smokey eye with dramatic liner. Sorry the pictures aren't great quality. 

I choose my new go to SLEEK palette to create this look. Taking my MAC 217 blender, i placed this matt pink in and above the crease, bringing it gently up to onto the brow bone. This colour transfers on to the skin in a soft pink shade and is a perfect transition colour. Then taking a soft, flat shadow brush from ELF COSMETICS i packed on a matt white all over my lid. I then took a small pointed crease brush from BLANK CANVAS COSMETICS and picked up a small amount of this burgundy/purple colour and placed it in my crease. Gently applying it in wind wiper motion, back and forth, bringing it higher slightly each stroke until i reached my desired position. I have to mention i LOVE LOVE LOVE this colour in the SLEEK Palette. Its one of my favourite colours at the minute. This palette is available at ESKE PHARMACY Donegal Town. Amazing palette.!! <3

I used this FUSCHIA loose pigment in the number 03 to add a pop of colour to my eyes. I love working with loose pigment. It does require a little extra time and effort but the results are amazing and nearly impossible to achieve with regular eyeshadow. This pigmet is available at BEGLEYS PHARMACY, Donegal Town and i am eager to try out some more in other colours.

I swathed this pigment so you could see properly how vibrant this colour is as my pictures are poor quality and you cant see the intensity in the pictures. The swatch on your left is without the LA SPLASH eyeshadow sealer/base and the swatch on your right is with it. You can clearly see the difference...

I took my LA SPLASH eyeshadow sealer/base and applied it using tapping motions on the lid. Being careful to keep it tidy and not go to far up and leaving the inner corner of my eye free. I then took a firm flat shadow brush, dipped in carefully into the FUSCHIA pigment and tapped of any excess back into the pot. I packed it gently onto my lid. I slowly built up the colour like this and then dusted away and excess of my lid with a fluffy eyeshadow brush. With my small pointed crease brush i applied this black colour at the outer corner of my eye blending it slightly with the purple pigment. Afterwards i applied MAC fluidline in black to my lash line and dragged it out to create a dramatic winged liner. 

Taking 3 colours from my SLA palette and my LA SPLASH eyeshadow sealer/base i created the dots around my eyes. I applied the sealer one dot at a time, followed by an eyeshadow. I used a cotton bud (cue tip) to place the eyeshadow on top of the sealer. I alternated the colours. I would also like to mention that the LA SPLASH sealer is a key product in this look and works incredibly with loose pigment. 

My entire make up never budged a bit all day and night!! Hope you can guys like this look and i would love to see your photos of any recreated looks. I will leave links below of the places you guys can find the products used in my post. Any questions please leave a comment ;)

Happy Festival season everyone :) <3

Sleek Palette at Eske Pharmacy

I got this gorgeous little palette at Eske Pharmacy Donegal Town. I am always looking to expand my make up collection and i have finally found the most perfect selection of eye shadow and blusher palettes on the market for the crazy price of  €10.00 - €12.99 . I love buying palettes rather than individual eye shadows as they are not nuance to carry around unlike individual eye shadows/ blushers. However finding one with the colors i want and at an affordable price is extremely difficult. So i was pleasantly surprise when i was introduced to SLEEKS range of gorgeous shadows available to buy at Eske Pharmacy Donegal town. They have six different eye shadow palettes, so you will definitely find one to suit you. They also carry a fabulous range of blusher palettes with gorgeous color combinations that i haven't seen before.

I swatched a few of my favorite colors from this palette as this is the best way i can show you how pigmented these shadows are and i have to say the result is pretty amazing. Don't forget girls these eye shadows are just €10.00 per palette. Alot of the shadows resemble colors from the naked 3 palette which is my all time favorite go to palette. Which retails at around €45.00. As you can clearly see in my photos these shadows are extremely pigmented. In fact, in my opinion they are just as pigmented as URBAN DECAYS NAKED 3 Palette for a small fraction of the price. Wow! LOVIN IT!! <3

                 A quick look at some make ups i completed using SLEEK OH SO SPECIAL PALETTE!!

All the shadows i used in these two looks are from my sleek OH SO SPECIAL 658 palette. I also used BOXED to fill in my eyebrows and RIBBON on my cheeks for blush.

These pictures are not edited, the pictures to your left above was taken without a flash and the other one was taken with a flash!

I love these palettes so much that i used these to create looks on my client also. My client on your left was a wedding guest and my client on my right wanted a natural light smokey eye for an evening occasion. As you can see the palette i choose is perfect for wedding guest, bridal and natural looks but also works well for a more dramatic smokey eye.

Some more products from SLEEK available at ESKE PHARMACY DONEGAL TOWN!!

SLEEK BLUSHER !! I love these little blusher combos, they are amazing as they have fantastic colors i have only seen is high end products. These blusher are definitely the quality of the higher end products but with out the high end price tag. At only €12.99 these blushers are amazing value. They will last you an age and double up as shadows and some of them as bronzers. Just like the eye shadows they are very pigmented which also means it will last longer.

SLEEK POUT POLISH!! These pout polish are are creamy in texture. They are moisturizing and also pretty pigmented which once again will hold its color well. These pout polishes are perfect for your normal summer day. You can wear them bare faced or apply on top of nude lipstick or lip base with a brush for a night time look. I really like these as they are creamy and non sticky and wont dry out your lips as they are very moisturizing which is perfect when out and about in the summer sun and for sale in Eske Pharmacy for only €5.49.

FINAL NOTE AND REASONS TO BUY!!

Its a Steal

I've been looking like a crazy woman for eye glitter for a while now and found it difficult finding what i want without spending a fortune.I came across this new (to me) product called LA Splash. There selection of glitter pots and eye dust pigment caught my eye. The pots of glitter cost  €7.99 per pot and the eyeshadow sealer base also costs  €7.99 Both products are very reasonable compared to other brands. Then i spotted this set, with four colours. Gold, silver, black and purple. Fantastic news for me as i wanted them all. This set also contained the glue/eyeshadow base. And it cost only  €19.99. These pots of glitter are the perfect size and will literally last you forever. The amount of different looks you can achieve with the glitter alone is endless. They have a wide range of colours in both the set and to buy individually. The eyeshadow sealer base is on another level. This stuff is amazing and i don't know how i haven't heard of it before. Rather than tell you i'm going to show you.

Above each line is two swatches of the same shadow. The one on the right of each set of swatches i used the glue/eyeshadow base under the eyeshadow and the one on the left i didn't use it. As you can see the swatches on the left of every line is barely visable and the ones on the right are much brighter and visible. The first pinky tone shadow is from rimmel, the second white shadow is also rimmel and the third one is a wee shadow from essence. Although these eyeshadow weren't all that expensive so i can really complain, i do really like the colours but they are pretty useless when they aren't visible and no way vibrant.

I would apply this on the moving part of the lid as a final step to my eyeshadow routine, and my shadow of choice on top of it. This is also perfect for adding that wee pop of colour or sparkle to the inner corner of your eye. and not only does this work wonders on poorly pigmented eyeshadow it also works amazing with the higher end and amazingly pigmented shadows. Below i swatched a shadow from the urban decay naked 3 palette. Although these shadow are so fabulous they don't need any help it does make them appear alot more vibrant and striking  and will keep your eyeshadow in place all day & night!!

You can find La Splash here in Eske Pharmacy in Donegal Town or Eske Pharmacy Facebook page. They have a nice wee range of products and are very reasonable in price. Another thing that caught my eye was the colour liquid liners. Call in to Eske Pharmacy and see for yourselves. Some cool wee products. I'll definitely be expanding my collection with more LA Splash cosmetics and soon. Will keep you guys updated. And let me know if you guys would like to see some of my pictures of make ups using the glitter pots!

Touch of Turquoise

Magical, Dreamy, Unique, Beautiful <3

So i started of by priming the entire eyelid using urban decays primer potion. Next i took a small crease brush and placed LIMIT from urban decays naked 3 palette in the crease of the eyelid and blended up wards and out wards & back and fourth. Then using the same brush i took NOONER also from the same eye shadow palette and again placed it in the crease and blended it over and back and slightly above the crease but not taking it as far up as i took LIMIT i used these two colours in this particular technique to create dimension. I then took a flat  fluffy shadow brush and placed STRANGE all over the lid, i used this as a base for my next colour, a white shadow in the colour WHITE LIE which i took from my Too Faced palette and again placed it all over the lid (moving part of the eyelid) using the same fluffy flat brush.

.

Next i took a wet small round eyeliner brush and a turquoise shadow and placed it in the corner of my eye dragging it inwards onto the lid and also lining the bottom inner corner. I used a a silver glitter liner to add a bit of sparkle and also create more focus on the inner corner. I then went back to the outer third of the eye, and with a small bullet brush i placed FACTORY & DARKSIDE again from the naked 3 palette, applying it in small circular movements. I then took my MAC 217 blending brush and with a light hand blended all the outer colours together and dragging them gently inwards in the crease. I then took my bullet brush again and applied SMOLDER shadow from my Too Faced palette in the outer V and repeated this step with BLACKHEART from the Naked 3 palette. And using a light hand blended these colours in small circular movements. After that i used my Gel fluidline eyeliner and a small angled brush and created a wing.

                                                                                                                     For the lower lash line i took a smudge brush by ELF and from the outer corner i applied FACTORY and stopped 2/3 of the way in, i repeated this step with DARKSIDE and lastly using a small angled eyeliner brush i applied BLACKHEART as close to the lash line as possible. I then applied my clients lashes and mascara and to finish off i gently highlighted under the brow with STRANGE and sprayed Urban Decays All nighter setting spray.

I hope you guys enjoyed this look. If you try it out please be sure to tag me in your photos and if you have any questions on products or queries on achieving this look please drop me a comment.

Thanks for reading :) <3

Billion Dollar Brow Review at Envie Beauty Salon

So unlike most of the rest of the world, i never really dived into the HD Brow craze. I couldn't justify spending that much money on my eye brows. Although i have seen photos all over social media of how important eyebrows really are and the way in which they frame your face, i never fully understood the depth of that until i experienced it myself. 

Whilst chatting with a beautician and business partner at Envie Beauty Salon in Dungloe, Jamie and I fell onto the subject of BILLION DOLLAR BROWS. 

A treatment i hadn't heard of before i saw Envies BDB before & after photos. Which is shocking considering Billion Dollar Brows is the latest treatment sweeping LA and in fact spreading world wide. Billion Dollar Brows is a celebrity treatment endorsed by Lauren Conrad, The Kardashian's, Paula Abdul to name but a few.

I will say i was very intrigued to learn how this procedure was carried out. Billion Dollar Brows is a full brow treatment that uses a variety of steps to achieve a desired brow shape. Brows are measured using the Brow Buddy to show a client where 

eyebrows should start, arch and end, leaving each client with their 

own unique shape perfect for that individual.

The time and skill that goes into each brow is really worth every cent. The day of waxing the strays and plucking stragglers are long gone. This past year and this new year ahead is definitely the years of the eyebrows. And not only is this treatment fabulous for us busy brow babes but in my opinion it is compulsory for the category of poor creators lacking in the eyebrow hair compartment. Like a lot of women in and around my mothers age group, plucking away at every hair in sight has took its toll on the hair growth. Some ladies have very little to none. 

 

The fabulous girls at Envie Beauty Salon have a separate BDB treatment that can aid in hair growth or with the BDB treatment alone create the illusion of thicker fuller brows without leaving a harsh fake line.

Billion Dollar Brows (BDB) are excellent for anyone who 

have over tweezed, over waxed, have gaps in their brow or brows 

that won’t grow!!!

If you haven't yet give in, then you really don't know what your missing. I love My BDB and i will definitely not be going back to neglecting my brows. Please note that it is my preference to have thick full brows. I had a choice of three thicknesses and i choose the thickest. 

As i am aware that will not be to everyone's taste so don't worry if you prefer them thinner or not as dark as mine, as you will be talked through the producer step by step and given a choice on the final appearance of your fabulous new BILLION DOLLAR BROWS.

Here's a gentle reminder why you should book an appointment or a consultation with the lovely ladies at Envie Beauty salon and don't worry if distance is an issue as these ladies are flexible and willing to travel. Click here to Contact Envie Beauty Salon on Facebook!!

Garnier Body Oil Beauty Scrub & Nourishing Lotion!!

I got these two products from the very lovely Janice in Eske pharmacy in Donegal Town. Most of us don't take as good of care of our skin as we should. I'll be the first to admit that. If your looking for something to get your skin ready for summer then look no further.These two products will have your skin summer ready & fabulous after just one use. I worked in a very popular and busy Spa and i can tell you that ladies spent a lot of money for a scrub and a heated body wrap treatment that have the same effect as these two products. 

When i used the body scrub i was wearing Tan Organic. Its a fabulous tan but it usually takes at least two days of exfoliation to get completely off, however after using Garnier Body scrub just one time it came off instantly and my skin was extremely soft and glowing like never before. My skin was visibly radiant and the four oils (Argan, Macadamia, Almond & Rose) infused in this scrub, left my skin intensively moisturized unlike many other scrubs I've used. It smells amazing too, just like summer in fact. 

I applied The Garnier Body lotion when i came out of the shower after i towel dried my body. This product is extremely soft, leaving a silk texture to my skin. Its oil infused lotion is highly moisturizing and i believe its works for hours after its applied. I have dry skin and small hard pimples on my upper arm, I've suffered from this for years and nothing seem to do the trick. However after using the exfoliator once and the cream a few times i can notice a significant difference & i believe this may totally eliminate the problem after a few more uses.

I have showed these to some family and friends who are eager to start using these products themselves after trying this on their hands and being surprisingly shocked at how amazing the results are.

Reasons its Important to exfoliate & moisturize:

Our skin is constantly generating new skin cells. When skin sells reach the surface they gradually die. Cells start to pile up unevenly on the skin's surface, giving it a dry, rough, dull appearance. Exfoliation is beneficial because it removes those cells that are clinging on, revealing the fresher, younger skin cells below. Exfoliation helps to even out skin tone, gets rid of pimples and helps tan go on more evenly and gives gives your skin a healthy glow. 
CELLULITE!!! Many women over the age of 20 no matter what their weight experience cellulite and it is proven that exfoliation helps prevent and reduce cellulite.

Moisturizers work to fill in any tiny cracks in our skin and keep all of the bad bacteria out!
 Its Anti-aging. Dry skin is more prone to premature aging. 
Hydration. Hydrated skin is happy skin, and happy skin glows!

When sun bathing it is near to impossible to get a nice even tan when ur skin is dry, dull and in need of exfolation so these two products are perfect for achieving summer ready skin.

 Call into ESKE PHARMACY today to pick up your Garnier body scrub and lotion and notice an immediate difference. I promise you wont be disappointed in the results and the price is pretty fantastic too. :)  <3

Elf Haul & Review

Almost all the products i used in the above picture are ELF and featured in my review!!

So after all the hype about Elf cosmetic and some of its very popular products i hopped on there website and spent quite some time going through all the amazingly inexpensive items. I ordered some of the things i thought might interest my readers most and here they are reviewed for you all. Some AMAZING things here peeps, i promise u will love... <3

Mineral Infused Face Primer
Radient Glow:
I ordered these in 3 colours. These primers are creamy and smooth and definitely does the job. The colour Radient Glow is gold in colour and gives you a lovely glow and smooth finish.
Poreless face primer- fills in fine lines & reduces the appearance of enlarged pores.
Mineral Face Primer-Fills in fine lines & creates a flawless finish.
Alot of people don't use primers under their foundation and often thinks its a gimmick but i strongly disagree. Every surface needs a base and that's the purpose of a primer. This is a great primer and for the cost i highly doubt you will find anything as good for anywhere near the price.

                  Studio Acne Fighting Foundation                       

I ordered this foundations after many mixed reviews which i had read. I ordered Two of these in the colours Porcelain and Ivory. So i have tried and tested them and i have to say i was greatly please with the results. i can tell you this foundation has a lovely creamy texture, its lightweight with a medium coverage and its extremely build-able (not cakey looking) which is awesome for someone who loves a fuller coverage. This product claims to have acne fighting ingredients,  I don't have Acne so i really cant comment on that aspect.
I wore this foundation to a children's play centre, it was a hot clammy day and i was running around with the kids so as you can imagine i was pretty sweaty...(yuck) My foundation stayed perfectly in place the entire day and remained fresh. I also used and Elf face Primer & Elf setting spray.

However i would be careful when choosing your colour. I am in no way, shape or form porcelain skin tone, i do consider myself pretty pale but i have clients with much lighter skin tone than myself and Porcelain would be to dark for them. My skin is Normal/Combination and changes from time to time, sometimes my skin is a little dehydrated due to different factors ie lifestyle and the weather. I did find this foundation worked best with my skin when it was a little more on the oily side.




Elf studio Make up mist & set spray

Lets be real a setting spray is really not a necessity but it definitely should be in my opinion. Okay so you don't need to use this on a daily basis, going to collage, work, school or running to the supermarket ect but for nights out, weddings, or higher temp work environments eg kitchens this stuff is magic. Apply this as a finishing step to your make up routine and you will notice a difference. I am a HUGE fan of Urban Decays setting spray and i religiously complete every clients make up application with this, but unless you are a huge make up buff forking out that much money isn't very tempting. Elf have come up with an alternative and here it is. The package is not of great standard so i would recommend buying 2 or 3 of these and putting them into a reusable spray bottle, u will find these at any 2euro, £land or wallmart stores.





                           Eyebrow Kit
WOW was i impressed. I could never justify spending ridiculous money on brow kits so i always stuck to the lower end products eg. W7 or just eye shadow. While i found these okay...ish... I was nearly about to give in and buy the HD kit and then i heard all the rave reviews about ELFs eyebrow kit which comes with a double ended brush, a wax and a shadow. So i ordered this in colour medium and tried it out. I have used this product every single day since i received it and i have been getting compliment after compliment about my brows (even though they are like caterpillars at the minute). This is so easy to use and long lasting and i am so impressed with the quality of packaging. I just cant believed more people haven't discovered this palette. Must be ELFs best kept secret...



Studio Blush
I bought this in Mellow Mauve and i really love this colour. You can use this lightly for a subtle healthy glow or you can layer this for a more dramatic look. This blusher has been featured in many magazines and rated highly by many famous make up artists. The packaging is top quality and alot like that of NARS.


                            


                           Contouring Blush & Bronzing Cream
I LOVE to contour and highlight. And if you don't do this then you should start. It works wonders. From creating cheek bones to slimming down your face, its amazing the results you can achieve. This is my first cream contouring palette and i was a bit reluctant to try this out. Contouring definitely does take some practise but once you know how and after some practice its like riding a bike. I ordered this in the colour St Lucia (also available in powder contouring blush and bronzer palette). Its creamy and smooth and i LOVE this shade. I found this surprisingly easy to use but for anyone not familiar with this procedure a few practices is advisable and i would suggest using the ELF Contouring blush and bronzer powder palette instead.





Baked highlighter & Baked bronzer
Highlighter in Pink diamonds and bronzer in St Lucia. Ehhh... I was really disappointed when i received these as i was most excited to try these out. When i opened them they were both broken and unlike most of ELFs studio line i found the packaging quite poor. However i cannot complain about the product itself. i use both these as a highlight depending the look that I'm trying to achieve.

Essential Shimmer
Again the packaging is a little disappointing but for the price i really shouldn't complain. The product itself is nice and does what its supposed to. Another nice little highlighter.






Tone Correcting Concealer
Rosey Beige and Ivory are the colours i ordered. These concealers have a nice soft texture, they are extremely lightweight therefore perfect for the under eye area giving a fresh and glowing finish. However they are not high coverage but are perfect for covering the normal under eye circles. I don't recommend these to anyone who needs a high coverage under eye concealer.

                                           Studio Matt Lip Colour                         

Soooo Impressed. I bought these in Rich Red (My Fav) Tea Rose & Natural. When deciding on the colours i wanted i wasn't to impressed by the selection. Rich Red is by far my favorite. These Lip colours is so highly pigmented and long lasting & do not run or budge. Although i love a matt finish i would recommend using a clear gloss on top of these of lip colours or vasaline underneath as these Lip colours are slightly drying. But I really love them. The packaging is top quality & i cant believe how pleased i am with these. Fingers crossed ELF brings out some more shades in these fantastic Lip colours...  

Studio Moisturizing Lipstick

I bought this in Pink Minx and i have to say the colour was not what i was expecting. Its a little dull and over all i wasn't impressed with this product like i was with the Lip colour. Its an okay lipstick but i have definitely used better in the same price range. Would only buy these again if i found a colour i really loved.

Studio Eyeliner & Waterproof lengthening & Volumizing Mascara
Eyeliner in coffee and mascara in Black brown. i ordered these as i loved the colours. The eyeliner was lighter in colour than i thought it would be but i liked it all the same. The eyeliner is creamy and applies smoothly. Its not very long lasting however but is good for the price. The mascara i love. It definitely adds length and volume to your lashes and the colour is gorgeous. This mascara is perfect for a more mature lady and perfectly complements a bronze look as does the eyeliner. I have used better mascara but i do really like this mascara as it builds well without clumping.



Long Lasting Lustrous Eye shadow
Eeeeekkk... I LOVE this... Mine is in the colour Gold. This product is gorgeous,long lasting and highly pigmented. It can be used on its own or under an eye shadow for a gold colour base. This shadow comes in a range of colours that i will definitely be trying out. It has a whipped gel texture and surprisingly fluffy once applied. It can also be used as a liner. Amazeballz! <3




Eye Brushes
Studio Eye shadow C brush- synthetic brush, can be used with wet or dry products.

Picks up a great amount of product and distributes it perfectly. Soft an fluffy and perfect for placing product on he lid.

Studio contour brush- synthetic bush, its a soft small brush. i use this brush for placing and blending a small amount of dark product in and around he crease.

Crystal blending brush- synthetic brush, this brush is a little bigger than the studio contour brush. I love this brush. Its perfect for blending and its super cute with its crystal encrusted handle.

Essential smudge brush- I use this brush for smudging my eyeliner for a smokey eye effect. Its small and soft so its also perfect for placing eyeshadow in hard to reach areas, inner corner of the eye, under the water line and for highlighting under my brow bone.

These Brushes are all amazing. The quality is brilliant considering how inexpensive they are. I am comparing these brushes with high end top quality brushes and would highly recommend them to anyone, for personal or professional use.


Lip Exfoliator
Okay so i cant stress how much i love this little guy. Not only does it smell and taste divine but it also works a treat. Its so handy because it comes in the form of a lipstick so its quick and easy to use. After using this product a few times your lipstick, liner and gloss will have a more even and flawless finish and will last longer. If you don't have 1 of these, you should! I'm just sorry i didn't buy more...




Eye Primer
As I'm guessing you have already picked up on that the fact I'm slightly obsessed with primers, this one is no different. My one is in the colour blush. i had ordered these in many different colours as the price was definitely right. They were out of stock of all the rest of the colours i ordered (normally a good sign). This primer is creamy and smooth and is a good base for eye shadow. It prevents creasing and eye shadow clings and sticks to it aiding the longevity of your shadows.

Hope you guys found this post helpfull. If you have any questions on any of the products or ordering information please just ask. I will leave the links for the ELF website bellow and keep and eye out on my facebook and twitter pages for my ELF cosmetic GIVEAWAY competition which i will be announcing soon. Below are the products i will be giving away to one lucky winner... :)
