♧Good luck!!!♧

P.s. There will be a larger giveaway in December so stay tuned! 


So here are the goodies!!!!!





This is the Sigma Spa Glove dupe that I did a review on awhile back.  I still use and love this glove!  I am also throwing in a large bottle of the anti-bacterial soap that I use to clean my brushes. It kills bacteria and doesn't dry them out. 






The palette on top is from Maybelline. The a Nudes palette months back and now they have come out with the Smokes palette. This has become of my new favorites!  The colors are great for Fall and the quality is up there with most high end palettes.  Pigmented,  blendable and very little to no fall out. 
The bottom palette is by Elf. It is their blush palette on dark. This is another product I did a review on,  last month I believe. These four blushes are extremely pigmented and again this is going with the Fall theme. 







Starting with the top left: the first polish is from Essie in the color "Blue Rhapsody". The next two polishes are from BH Cosmetics and the top is a vampy red color called "Wine". The beautiful dark blue color is "Night".
The white package is an exfoliating body/foot polish . Tfrom Barefoot by Freeman. This is just a sample but this stuff is so amazing I had to their one in! It makes your feet so soft and pretty. 






From left to right: The lipstick on the left is from Wet n Wild from their matte lipstick line in the color "Coming in Latte". This is the most sought after color this Fall from this line.  It is sold out at every store that carries these where I live. 
Next is a fat pencil from NYX in the color"Milk". This is a must have all year round.  When using a light color eyeshadow put a little of this underneath,  smudge it out and apply the shadow and it will let the eye shadow's color show it's full potential. 
Last in this picture is a matte lIp cream from NYX in the color "Istanbul". This is a beautiful nude/pink color great for Fall and will look amazing with the Smokes eye shadow and Elf blush



These are 3 super easy and super cute nail stickers from Essie. All of them are beautiful, not over done and again great for Fall.

The last two items in the giveaway are my must haves! On top is the Benefit Porefessional. This is a primer that goes under your foundation.  It minimizes the sight of pores and leaves Your face looking flawless after you foundation and powder. I can't go without this stuff!  I remember a time I forgot to apply this under my foundation and I literally washed my face and re-applied so I could add the Porefessional! Crazy, I know! 
The very last item is a make up done from Revive. This is the best dupe for the Beauty Blender. There are many knock offs but few are as good.  This one is as close as it gets and half the price. These sponges are a necessity for applying foundation, concealer and even powder. This sponge makes your foundation go on smoothly and look fabulously flawless. 


This giveaway is 100% paid for me. This is my first giveaway.  There will be another Christmas giveaway in December that will consist of more high end products.
This is just a small thank you to all of the people who love make up as much as I do and read my blog. 
♡Thank you for your support♡

Beauty Review: Elf Make up Remover Cleansing Cloths



Elf Make up Remover Cleansing Cloths




Beauty Review by:
Michelle Hibbard




I bought these make-up removing cloths last month while making an Elf Cosmetics online purchase. The cloths/wipes I normally buy can run up to $7 so I thought wouldn't it be wonderful if the Elf wipes worked just as well and for only $3 I could buy double for the price of my usual make-up removing wipes.

When they arrived I was a little disappointed because the one thing I forgot to look at before purchasing was the quantity.  There are only 20 wipes in these packages. I probably would have bought them anyway because they are so cheap.

That night I opened them and noticed they had a very pleasant smell.  It wasn't overkill,  just a light clean fragrance. I started to write away my make-up mask which I usually start with my forehead and go around my face doing my eyes last with a second wipe. It seemed to be working OK but I wasn't impressed.  I always use 2 wipes and with these I had to use 3.

After wiping away my face make-up I started with my eyes.  The second I bought the cloth near my eye it started to sting and water. Not good. It took off the eye make-up but not as easily as I would like.  I felt like I really had to rub to get it off and the eyes are the area you want to be very gentle with because rubbing harshly can cause fine lines.

Even with these issues I decided to continue using them. The blogger and beauty reviewer inside of me want to make sure they wouldn't get better with time.
They didn't.
I noticed a small breakout on my chin so I decided that night would be the last time I use these wipes and I would purchase my usual wipes the day.

I am not over exaggerating when I say the next day my entire face was broken out!

I was horrified! I had spent so long getting a skin care regimen down that was finally keeping my skin clear and these stupid wipes broke me out worse than ever and in just 5 days! Ugh!

Below is a picture of the lovely face decorations the Elf Make-up Remover Cleansing Cloths gave me.




So I am sure you can guess I did not use these again.  I threw them away. Like I have said before, Elf is hit and miss. They have some super amazing products, a few are my all time favorites,  but they also have some really bad products too.

Needless to say I do not recommend these for anyone out any skin type!

Elf Blush Palette (dark) review



Elf Blush Palette Review


Beauty Review By: Michelle Hibbard





Elf Blush Palette: $6.00 
(available on the Elf Cosmetics site)




If you sign up with your email to the ELF Cosmetics website you will be sent emails to several discounts. If you are familiar with Elf then you probably already know that their cosmetics are super adorable.  A sale in top of the already low prices is hard to pass up!  

One of the newer products that Elf came out with months ago is the blush palettes.  There are two options, light and dark. Since it is so close to Fall I decided to try the dark blush palette. 
The case is a hard, durable plastic and inside there is a big mirror which I love!




When I opened the palette I totally fell in love. The colors are beautiful. The only thing that had me a little concerned is the blush on the bottom left. There are specs of glitter in the blush.  That is something I haven't really seem before. I don't want glitter on my cheeks! 
Fortunately the glitter is minimal so it isn't very noticeable. 
However, I will probably not be using that blush as much as the others because of the glitter specs. 
I also noticed that the"light" blush palette also has one blush with glitter 
in it too. I really wish they hadn't done that but it hasn't stopped me from loving this quad.




Another thing I love about this palette is the bushes are removable. They are very easy to pop out and put in.  
In the picture below you can see where I removed one of the blushes and there is a square hole underneath. This makes it very easy to pop the blush with a finger through the square. 
If you have both the light and dark palette you can switch up your palettes to the colors of your choice which is great for traveling. 




These blushes are not only beautiful in color but they are super pigmented. When I first applied to my cheeks I had hardly any product on my brush and it ended up being way too much. I am very impresed. I have used the single blushes by Elf and they were powdery and some were pigmented and some were invisible no matter how much I packed on. The blushes In this palette however are nothing like the singles.



Since swatches don't show you the full effect I decided to apply each color to my arm and blend with a blush brush.  I gently swept my brush over the top of the blush and then applied it so you can see how pigmented they are with just a dab of product. 







All of these blushes blend beautifully,  are very pigmented, are amazing colors for any skin color ( just adjust the amount of product, very little needed for fair skin) and best of all this palette is extremely affordable!
I have already made an online purchase for the light blush palette.
These are high quality blushes for a drugstore price. Can't beat that!
