ELF order came!

A few posts ago I mentioned a wonderful website called www.eyeslipsface.com which sells bargain cosmetics, mostly for $1 each.

I placed my order on the 2nd and it made it to me on the 12th, but I’m sure part of the issue with the shipping length was due to the Labor Day holiday. I have heard people say in the past that shipping has been has fast as a few days and as long and 3 weeks.


This is what I received for a grand total of $17.45……




That’s a lot of stuff! I used a coupon code, which they have tons of different ones, and got $7.50 off my order which includes

Blending Eye Brush
Smudge Eye Sponge
Eyeliner Brush
Eye Shadow Brush
Brightening Eye Color Quad (in Drama)
Shimmering Facial Whip (in Toasted)
(3) Duo Cream Eye shadows (in Black Licorice, Mocha Swirl and Butter Pecan)
(2) Mineral Eye shadows (in Socialite and Glamorous)

I haven’t gotten to try everything out yet but I can give a little low down on what I have tried….

Duo Cream Eye Shadows – They are great! The pigments are good, not too intense but still very pretty. They are creamy and smooth and go on really well and have decent staying power. I wore them out today and they were still looking good this evening.

Candy Shop Lip Gloss tin (in Frosting Fanatic) – This stuff smells fantastic and offers a slightly golden shimmer to the lips. It is thick but goes on smooth. It smells so yummy!!

Plumping Lip Glaze (in Ruby Kiss) – The color side is lovely and sheer. As far as the plumping side goes, despite the tingling feeling I didn’t see a lot of plumping in my lips. I think as far as plumping glosses go I am going to stick with my Sally Hansen Lip Inflation. The packaging is also a bit deceptive. From the side it looks like there is a good amount of product. But when you turn it over and look from the bottom you realize that there really isn’t very much. But at the same time when you’re only paying a dollar for a product I suppose you can’t expect to get extremely large amounts but I do wish there were a little bit more.

Overall the quality is pretty amazing for products of this price and I’m really happy with my purchases. I will definitely be ordering from them again!

Bargain Alert!!

Attention Bargain Hunting Ladies!

www.eyeslipsface.com

I have been turned on to the most fabulous cosmetics site! “Why?” You might ask….because everything is $1! Yes, just $1. I love makeup, I really do. There is something about stepping out of the house with a full face of makeup and my hair done that makes me feel confident and sexy. The only downside is that I don’t always have the money to run out and buy all the makeup I want... and trust me there is a lot that I want. But this site is wonderful! For a buck, okay some products can go as high as like 3 bucks, I can get all sorts of things and they always have new coupon codes for discounts or free stuff. I just made my first order so I’m anxiously awaiting my products so I can try them out. I’ll be sure to post my thoughts on these things but for a dollar who couldn’t afford just to try them, right?

I have been on such a bargain hunting kick the past few days! Snuggle Bug and I spent yesterday morning out and about running from thrift store to thrift store. Sadly, we didn’t find much. But I have not given up hope! Tomorrow we are going to go back out to a town about 30 minutes away and try again. There is a new antique store I want to check out and fingers crossed we find those gems we are looking for. Snuggle Bug is such a good shopping partner and she can spot those things on lower shelves that I wouldn’t see (usually toys, hehe). Wish us luck you bargain divas! I go to so many of your blogs and see all these wonderful things you all find….I hope we have the same luck but we will definitely have fun looking!
