Camera! Lights! Studio!!!

I love makeup brushes. I always find myself needed about 10 blush brushes (you know, one brush for each color or texture) and then I find myself needing a few shadow brushes – blending, highlighting, all over, crease, etc.

I ordered quite a few elf Studio brushes, for myself and as gifts (Christmas is coming early this year). I really love these; the faux bristles are densely packed and extra gentle on my sensitive skin.

Close up of the eye brushes; size relative to a US quarter.

Also, from the elf Studio line, I picked up the eye transformer (pastel illusions) which is a quad of green, orange/gold, pink and blue shimmers which VERY closely remind me of The Body Shop shimmer eye shadows. From their bronzer collection, I got the golden shade because it’s the least copper-like and I can use them as eye shadows – this is a new love! Also, I’ve been looking for a purple, but I want it just right, I’m sure you can relate. Well, from the elf studio single shadow line, I found Amethyst. I’m quite fond of all of these!





The best part about this line is ALL studio products are $3 USD each! And since I ordered about $45 worth of stuff, I used ECTUTAY coupon code for 50% off entire (read: no limit) studio line purchase. Check out my savings!!!


I also picked up two nail polishes for $1 USD each, in Light Pink and Gum Pink. The Light Pink is totally a clear polish with some pinky shimmer hue, don't try it! But the gum pink is a really fun pink and I can't decide if it's a warm or cool pink, truly I think it's universal.



Don't forget about my Givenchy giveaway only 11 days left!

Love, Liz xoxo

I really want to try out some more elf brushes. I only have one, but I really like it!

The $1 brushes from ELF are good except that the metal breaks apart from the handle. Not good! But then again it is $1!

That's a bummer. But small price to pay for how cheap they are! Then you can replace it easily!
