ELF Makeup

My friend and I were talking the other day while at Target our favorite place to shop. As we walked through the makeup and we were just looking around and we found the ELF makeup and I love the candid coral blush. I was my first ever blush. My friend had never tried any of the ELF makeup before and we thought it would be fun to get some and try it. I didn't go to crazy and I plan to try other things later but I picked up somethings that I though would be fun to play with. All ELF make can be anywhere from a dollar to six which is a good deal!

The first are the brushes I liked them all but the white handle face brush. It just didn't feel great on my face and kind of hurt a little bit. The others are nice and soft and use almost everyday. I don't have lots of brushes I like to have ones I am going to use everyday but not to have many that are just don't get used. It make since to me to have just what I need and not over do it.
 I thought this was a cool idea to have the liner and shadow in one. I have only used it once and I like it but since I have blue eyes I don't like to use to much black around my eyes. It is okay I wish they had other colors I didn't check online yet to see if they had more colors but this is all I saw that day at Target.
 The eyelid primer I is a good primer for a dollar I use this almost everyday under my color tattoo and it helps last on my eyelids longer. Depending on the season my eyelids can be oily during the summer they are more oily then in the winter. I sure some people have this happen to them as well and adjust to the season.
 I love natural eye palettes! ELF had this for six dollars and every so often Target will have like gift sets they just had one for summer and they will have one when it gets closer to winter. I do really like this but some days I look at it and have no idea what I want to do with it and go and get a trio or a smaller palette. This has been great to have to mix with my other palettes to make a wedding look for October.  
 I have heard and read people love the blush and bronzer palette and I thought it would be fun to try out. The bronzer is dark for me but I can use it in the summer time because I am tanner. I love the blush and it is great for traveling so I have the two in one deal. The other is the golden bronzer and I love to either mix them all together and use as a high light or just taking the lightest color as use it the same way. The golden bronzer is really simmer and for me is to much to wear as a bronzer everyday but it is great as a high light.  
 I love using translucent powders though out the day if I get oily and I love this one because of the mirror. It is a big mirror and I like to put it in my purse. I don't mind putting this one into any purse because if it breaks I can run out and get a new one for three dollars. I have had it happen and I hate when something breaks to the point it is easier to go get a new one but I hate when I have to spend money but, its so cheap I really don't mind.
 I got two more blushes to go with my candid coral one and it is the one that has the word elf gone and I use it a lot. I have some and when I don't know which one I want to use I go to that one because it is a great everyday blush. The other ones are the tickled pink and the fuchsia fusion. Tickled pink is another great everyday color and the fuchsia is a fun summer color that got some wear. Playing with colors I wouldn't use all the time is something new I am trying out. So far it is has been fun playing outside of my box and I plan to share that soon.
