Elf Beauty Bundle (October 2013) Updated Reviews!!



What came inside my October Beauty Bundle!

Update: When it comes to e.l.f cosmetics I feel that there are a lot of hit or miss items! Luckily I was able to try several of their products for FREE after winning a 6 month subscription to their beauty bundle off of their Facebook page. Awesome right! After using these products for a few months I'm now able to give you my full review on these products.




e.l.f. Essential Beauty School 4-Piece Nail Polish Set ($5)

- I love nail polish so I was so excited about this set, but let me tell you they are not worth it in my opinion. The polish was waxy on my nail and took forever to dry.








e.l.f. Essential Beauty School 
Eyeshadow Book  Classic ($5)

- I loved how this had some neutral tones in it! These colors blend beautifully and I have minimal fall out. The pigmentation is pretty good for such an inexpensive pallet. Something I can suggest is using a eye primer prior to applying your shadow this will help the colors really pop!

e.l.f. Mineral Blush- Bliss ($5)

- This blush is seriously the best coral color and 
it feels amazing on my skin. Pigmentation on this 
mineral blush is decent and last throughout the day
on my non-oily skin.  

 e.l.f. Studio Defining Mascara ($3)

- Let me tell ya I'm not a fan of their mascaras at all!
If I was in a pinch and had no other mascara then maybe
I'd reach for this. 









    e.l.f. Studio Daily Moisture Stick ($6)

    - I have a few of these now they came in almost all of my beauty boxes. I'm so careful when it comes to putting certain products on my face because I tend to have sensitive skin. I used this only a handful of times and it feels nice on my skin and didn't break me out. I'm just not a stick moisturizer person apparently. It had no wow factor for me. 


    e.l.f. Studio Corrective Concealer ($3)

    - I'm going to be honest I've only used the yellow color in this pallet. I put it in my under eye area and use the v shape under my eye to cover dark
    circles and brighten my under eye area. It's super
    blendable and doesn't cake up at all.

    e.l.f. Essential Shine Eraser ($1)

    I'm never shiny or oily so I could not find a use for these?

    They are super thin and packaged in a small box for easy on the go use.

    e.l.f. Essential Jumbo Lip Gloss Stick - Movie Star ($2)

    I love these! They remind me of the chubby sticks! They glide right on and the pigmentation is on point. I have a few of these and something that I noticed is some have a weird menthol smell which in
    my opinion I could live without. 











    e.l.f Professional 6 Piece Brush Set ($10)

    These brushes are so much nicer then the white ones elf carries. These brushes are soft and fluffy but keep in mind that they don't hold up forever so if your looking for a set that will last longer then a year I'd skip on these.

    Check out my TruMoo review with my little guest star Callie!







    They start by using pure cocoa and only add just enough sugar to fresh, pure milk from your local dairy to create a chocolaty taste kids love, all with no high fructose corn syrup! Also TruMoo chocolate milk also contains less added sugar and calories than most chocolate milk formulas! A leading low-fat and fat-free chocolate milk brand contains 28g of sugar per serving. TruMoo® low-fat and fat-free chocolate milk
    contains 18g of sugar per serving. What sealed the deal for this mom was the fact that TruMoo aslo is packed with eight essential nutrients including calcium, protein, vitamins A, D and B12, riboflavin, phosphorous and potassium!



    • Love that they have a Farmers Pledge! They have no artificial growth hormones!
    • No high fructose corn syrup!
    • Their moto is "Chocolaty Taste Kids Want, Nutrition They Need" and let me tell you all my daughter (4 yrs old) loved this product!
    • Now has 35% less sugar than a leading chocolate milk brand.
