Hydrate and Prime

I have never used primer before. I'm old school where we put our foundation and then concealer and then powder. The concept of primer certainly intrigued me. I have a certain YouTube beauty personality that I love to watch. She does show e.l.f. products quite often. one of these products was the e.l.f. Hydrating Face Primer. I decided to go ahead and order this primer as she gave it a glowing review and we both have similar skin types. It was only $6 online. I was so happy with the price. The product itself is in a beautiful sea green glass bottle with a pump and lid. It matched the colors in my bathroom and was more sanitary than some of the other packaging of other products I have looked at.

I watched many videos on the proper way to use primer and practiced til I perfected it. I love this primer! I sometimes actually use this without wearing any foundation because it makes my face feel so yummy. I have very dry skin and I moisturize, but my thirsty face loves this primer. It gives my face a dose of hydration while smoothing out all the imperfections and creating a flawless palette for my foundation. When I laid my foundation out over this I was amazed at how much smoother everything appeared and how much longer everything lasted. My makeup certainly didn't melt at all. It was a workout getting everything off at night though.

The only downfall I would say this product might have, and to me it wasn't really a downfall, it does come across as a little oily feeling at first until it settles. Overall I am truly pleased with this product and I would highly recommend it to others. I will be repurchasing this primer again very soon.

Is e.l.f.'s Flawless Finish Foundation Truly Flawless?

I purchased my e.l.f. Flawless Finish Foundation with SPF 15 in shade 83111 Porcelain at Wal-Mart for $6.00 plus tax. To start with, the price point was amazing!! And I was certainly in shock to see e.l.f. at my local Wal-Mart. I squeed with joy! I had recently made an online elf haul and forgot to get foundation. This was a complete win. This foundation comes in 6 different shades. It's medium to full coverage and has an SPF of 15.

I just have to say that I am completely pleased with this product. It is the perfect shade for my skin and doesn't oxidize and leave me orange. It's not too thick where it takes forever to blend it out, yet it's not runny at all. I have applied this foundation with my fingers, a brush, and a beauty blender and the product works well with all 3.

I really can't find any flaws with e.l.f.'s foundation. It's inexpensive. The color I chose was perfect for me. It's buildable for full coverage. It's easily workable and doesn't melt off my face during the day when I use it with my e.l.f. primer. I recommend this product to anyone looking for a nice goto foundation. It is truly flawless!!

e.l.f. Haul First Look and Unboxing

I received my order today from e.l.f. cosmetics that I placed January 1st. This is my first look and unboxing review. I have been so excited to receive this. I ordered 7 pieces and received the Best of 2016 GWP. This was a nice sized haul for just a little over $25. Here's the first look upon opening the box:

There was no box filler but the box was certainly filled with products. I was filled with glee. Christmas had come at last. Other than the 17 day wait period, I am pleased. The ordering process was very easy through e.l.f. and all the products seem to be just as described. I will be trying these products out and as I do I will be writing my reviews. For now, here are haul pictures and product information. Thank you for stopping by and please feel free to leave comments or questions and don't forget to share :-)
