E.L.F 32 color palette: intitals thoughts

I was shook today when i was in mey local target and finally they has E.L.F products i never tried them before but what could I really lose, 32 shandows for five bucks!!!! So i scooped this baby up!!!!! Now some of the shadows were decent, some of them were horrible (I can't lie ladies I couldn't the purple to show up at all) these shadows definately need a base! Overall its ok for five bucks, perfect for teens and stocking stuffers this holiday season! I'm play this and update yall on the weariblity of these shadows!

LOTD Medusa!

Hey ladies! I know it been a while but motherhood has been kicking my butt! I hope to be able to post at least twice a week! I really have learning so much and branching out in to other brands. One of my personal faves now is NYX! I also have be try to get more into lipsticks like bold reds, deep purples and hot pinks! So my most recent NYX purchase was very exciting and new to me! Its a color you may have heard of already NYX lipstick in "Medusa". Medusa is a deep beautiful rich purple lippie that is perfect for fall. I paired it with NYX "african queen" lipgloss and "deep purple" liner! I also used MAC's dirty plum blush on my cheeks! With such a bold lip i really wanted to keep the eyes soft and neutral!

The other night i was in my local CVS and noted that some Revlon products were 75% off (due to packaging change) making this normally 7.99 lipstick a 1.99 i had to "throw it in the bag" I can't wait to try it out , keep yall posted!

Revlon Photoready!!!!

Revlon is really trying to keep up with the make up big dogs by releasing their version of a HD foundation this Feb/Mar 2010 called PhotoReady. It is currently available in some store as a "trial" (revlon often does this with new products) and i went to my local CVS and scoop this one up!!! It claims to give "Perfected airbrushed skin in any light" It is also oil and fragrance free. There was only 10 colors (I know not much a selection) so i pick it up in cappuccino 011 ( the next shade down was rich ginger 09 there is no 010 at the moment). I noticed it was lighter then the Revlon colorstay in cappuccino, more similar to SFF in NW 45

(l to r SFF Nw45 Photoready in cappuccino 011 and Colorstay in cappuccino note thecolorstay is darker and redder)

The consistency was also less runny then colorstay abd way easier to blend. The finish is a dewy "sheen" that can easily be altered with a powder. It also has a pump, which was one of my major gripes with colorstay! It the standard 1oz/30ml of product and has spf of 20. Overall i'm pleased with this foundation! please see my youtube for a more detailed view coming soon(http://www.youtube.com/user/dahoodmodel)
