Hey, friends!
So, as promised, I'm going to review the products from my January elf Beauty Bundle. Here's a refresher of what was in my bundle:
Pretty sweet collection, right? That's $40 worth of FULL-SIZED products that you get every other month...can't beat that! So, on to the products!
Eye Brightener: $3.
"Perk up those tired eyes and diminish the appearance of dark shadows." I was a little up in the air about this product, I mean, eye brightener...I don't need that! But let me just go ahead and stick my foot in my mouth now. This stuff is AMAZING! I put it on after the concealer around my nose, under and on my eye, and a little on my cheeks (a little goes a long way) and it made me look more awake and really made my eyes pop. I will definitely be re-purchasing this!
Eye Refresh: $3.
"The cooling sensation of the rollerball brightens and refreshes the
eye area to help alleviate under eye puffiness and dark circles." I used this every day, multiple times a day, but I didn't really see a difference in brightening my eyes. I was cold, so it would make the skin feel tight for a couple of minutes, but that was about the only thing that happened. This was a pass for me :(
Prism Eyeshadow (in Naked): $10.
"These ultra-silky and lustrous eyeshadows look like a powder but feel
like a cream, allowing for a smooth and flawless application." I honestly really love this palette! I haven't used it wet yet, but even just dry the colors are amazing and bright and stay on all day! I just ordered more of this in the pink/purple colors as well. This is my go-to pallet from now on :)
Lip Exfoliator: $3.
"Gently exfoliate lips to remove dry, chapped skin." You might recognize this from my empties video...I was not a huge fan. It was hard to put on and hurt after the first two applications. It was all the little beads and no formula to help it slide on. I also didn't notice a different in my lips (and I have pretty dry lips in the winter. I'll stick to chap stick and eos.
Daily Moisture Stick: $6.
"An easy to use clear gel formulation that nourishes and hydrates the
skin." I would have never thought to buy this product on it's own, but it's a staple in my morning and night routine now. This little stick is so hydrating and smooth, it makes my skin feel really great. I use this, along with the elf Lotion Wipes, in my problem areas (eyebrows, around the nose, forehead) and I haven't had dry skin in a month. Seriously, in love and can't wait to continue to use this!
HD Lifting Concealer (in Brightening): $3.
"A skin firming concealer that hides imperfections and regenerates the
skin for added radiance." This was the product was I was most iffy about and wasn't sure how to use. I start my routine with a little Maybelline Baby Skin and then touch this around my nose and under my eyes. It works well with the eye brightener to make me look more awake and really make my eyes pop, but I didn't notice a ton of "lifting" in it. Still, a solid product, though I doubt I will order it again.
Mineral Face Cleanser: $8.
"Indulge your skin in rich cleansing moisture for a noticeably brighter
and smooth complexion." I've been using this face wash every morning and night and I have been noticing that my face is staying more fresh through the day and is softer to the touch. This cleanser feels like it really works to get the dirt and grime away and tightens my skin in the right areas. Overall, it's a win, though I don't know if I would continue to buy this for $8 (I'll have to pick it up during their 50% off sales!).
Makeup Remover Exfoliating Cleansing Cloths: $3.
"Gently and easily exfoliates skin to remove all traces of makeup and
dirt, even waterproof mascara." I love that these makeup remover cloths have two sides...a smooth side and an exfoliating side! I have already ordered more because I love the way they take off makeup!
Slant Tweezer: $1.
"A unique slanted tweezer ergonomically designed for easy and accurate
tweezing." Blah. Tweezers....what can I say. I haven't used these at all, and the only time I do use tweezers is for nail art (picking up rhinestones is hard). But, not complaining...you can never have too many nail art tools around!
Overall, for $20 (+shipping) I think this was a great deal. I have placed a couple of large orders with elf so I'm not sure how much longer I'll need to get the beauty bundle but for now it's fun. Overlapping stuff just means for fun give-aways to viewers and readers! For more information on the elf beauty bundle, visit: http://beautybundle.eyeslipsface.com/
Stay Beautiful! Danielle
