Review: E.L.F Enchanted Beauty Book

Hello my MJF followers,
I'm here with a review on another of the E.L.F Halloween Beauty Book this time its the Enchanted Beauty Book.




As you can see its the same as the Vampire Beauty Book but it as different eyeshadow colors, lip gloss and eyeliner. In this palette the eyeshadows are pink, purples, and blue colors. The lip gloss again has no name so here is the number  22111 which is a pale pink color. The eyeliner in this palette is pearl white color. I was not planing on buying this palette but when I saw the purples and blues I figured I give it a try.

Here is swatches:

As you can see these eyeshadows are also very pigmented. After swatching them the colors that I bought this for do not look as I suspected it would but there are colors that I did not like but when swatched really do like for instance the top lavender color and bottom gray purple color are so pretty. I don't think I would wear these colors a lot like Vampire palette. It might be that need to play with it and my feelings might change about this palette. Its still a good deal anyways. The only thing that bugs me about these Halloween palettes is that they did not put names on the eyeshadows. Why?

What do you think about this palette?

Until next time,
Mel

Review and Eye Look: E.L.F Vampire Beauty Book

Hello my MJF followers,
I'm here to share my thoughts on the E.L.F Vampire Beauty Book and also an eye look I did with the palette.




As you can see its similar to the Disney Beauty books that I and many others been buying. This one has eyelash, 8 eyeshadows, eyeshadow applicator, small eyeliner in black, and a lip gloss in glossy red color which has no name but a number so here is the number 82640. 

Just like the other beauty books they give you guide on how to apply the makeup which is great for beginners. I love the skull design on the cover and you I love skulls :0). I pick this palette because it had red tone eye which I don't have in my collection and I love vampires too.

Here is Swatches without primer:
Swatches with flash

Swatches with out flash and outside light
As you can see by the photos these eyeshadow have a lot of color pay off and they are not powdery at all. This palette has all shimmery or satin eyeshadows which I love. If you don't like shimmer stay away from this palette. When I did my eye look there was little fall out because of the glitter of course.



Here is the eye look I did with this palette:

Eyeshadows had no name
so I numbered them you can see what eyeshadows I used and wear I put them on my eye.

The products I used:
E.L.F eyelid pirmer in sheer
Avon Big Color Eye Pencil in  Vanilla
1. brow bone highlight and inner corner
2. Eyelid color and bottom lash line
3. Crease color
4. Outer v and outer bottom lash line
E.L.F liquid eyeliner in black

I really like how this eye look came out and its like a everyday fall look. I probably do this eye look again its so pretty and love the reds and copper eyeshadows in this palette.
I'm really happy that I got this palette. I see myself doing a lot of different eye looks with this palette. Not just for Halloween but all year long or just for fall. I think its a steal for $6.00. If you don't have any fall/red colors in your collection you might want to check this palette out.

What do you think about this palette/eye look?

Until next time,

Glow in the Dark Spider Mani

Hello my MJF followers,
I got another Halloween theme mani this time I did a Glow in the dark Spider mani.

With flash

Out door lighting no flash

The products I used:
Jordana Calcium Boost Base Coat
OPI Zom-body to Love
CoverGirl Black Heat
Avon Nail Art Delicate White
Milani Quick Shine Top Coat  
Avon Dual ended dotter and brush tool

In this mani I wanted to do a spider theme and something that would glow in the dark so this the result. At first I was kinda bummed that the spider web was so thin and you can see the bush strokes and then it grew on my as an artist it made it look more artistic and more like really webs or it me lol. I really liked the covergirl color in black heat but was mad it chipped the next day and remembered that the other covergirl polished chipped on me the last time. Is it me or does covergirl polish chips too fast and for the price they charge for there polish it should not chip that all I got to say about that. I like this mani beside the chipping.

What do you think of my mani?

Until next time,

Cost Plus World Of Market, Michaels and Walgreens Hauls

Hello my MJF followers,
I'm here to show you my hauls from Cost Plus World Of Market, Michaels and Walgreens haul.



I saw on instagram a few days ago someone got a Frankenstein bag from World of market so I decided to go check out there Halloween stuff online to see if it was worth going to store.  Online saw the butterscotch beer called flying cauldron which sound pretty close to harry potter butter beer so I had to get some to try. So I went to the store found the Frankenstein bag for $3.99 and looked every where for the butterscotch beer. So I asked a girl that worked there and she said let me look in the computer and she came back said they had some but dose not know where so she checked the back and they had whole box of them so I got a four pack. They where $1.49 each. I also got a dory pez because of course its Disney and I collect Disney pez and from movies I like. It was on sale for .99 cents.


So I hard Michaels was having 50% off there Halloween stuff since world of mark was next to it I figured I would check it out. I found two things that I had to have and they where a Candle skull that was $9.99 and with the 50% off it was $4.99. I also found some ribbon with skull and cross bones on it for $1.99 so it was .99 cents. I have a lot of Halloween stuff already so I've been trying not buy to much stuff. But after Halloween I buy stuff I've been eyeing if its a good deal so I might go back for somethings.


Yesterday I went to walgreens to look at the E.L.F good vs. Evil let the drama begin beauty book because I've been on the fence if I should buy it or skip it because I got the Halloween palettes from target. So I opened it up and had to buy it because I might regret it. It was only $9.99 and of course it Disney so there be a review on it soon.

What do you think of my hauls/halloween haul?

Until next time,

Dollar Tree Collective Hauls

Hello my MJF followers,
I'm back with another Dollar tree collective hauls.


In this haul I found a lot of good stuff. I found some car air fresheners in pumpkin spice and apple cinnamon and I got two in each scent. I was bummed that they are not too strong but they still smell good. I finally found the owl mirror stickers. I also got a scooby doo juice which is really good and had 100% fruit. I also got some acne wioes but had to return them because they were completely dried out. I also found some kelloggs cereal bars in chocolatey drizzle which are really good and I'm happy I got two packs.I found the Christmas washi tape and got two designs which is snow flakes and ginger bread man and girl.


Like I said before I had to return the acne wipes so of course I found other things I had to have. I got three of the Halloween solar dancers the skeleton, pumpkin, monster to add the my lonely skeleton I got last year. In exchange for the wipes I got the oil free acne wash.


In the search for loreal eye tattoos, I decided to try a dollar tree that I've never been to before and they had somethings I been looking for. I found the Wet n wild single eye shadow in the color Envy which I heard that is was a dupe for an urban decay shadow. I also was happy finally find the witch owl which was only .50 cents. If I known that would of got another one but most of them where broken. I also got another one of the essie sleek stick in sea me shine! I also got a maybelline great wear eye shadow stick which I thought was a lip stick because when I saw it I just picked the nude color and dropped in my basket. So we will see if its good. The last thing I got was some pink leopard print washi tape for my mom. This dollar tree was way bigger than ones I usually go to to bad this one so far away.


I went to dollar tree to see if they got the loreal color tattoos but still none :0(. So I looked at Halloween stuff and few things I had to get the first thing was some window clinks in this cutie owls design which I don't know where I'm going to put them yet. I also got garden flag to put by my door bell and it has a haunted house design on it with a cute little ghost. The last thing I got was a green glow in the dark skeleton whitch I put by my front door next to the light out side.

I'm happy I found somethings I've been looking for but still on the hunt for loreal color tattoos.

99 Cents And Big Lots Hauls

Hello my MJF followers,
I have another 99 cents and big lots small hauls.



At 99 cents I got some Caramel Apple Sugar Babies which are really good. I got two phone cases from style design in blue and teal because my cell phone cases brake or get worn out so good have back ups. I also got some Halloween nail Stickers in spiders design and skeleton design.


I went to big lots because they were having the 20% day and wanted to see if they had any good makeup that I had to have but no they had nothing. So I decided just pick up my favorite cleansing tissues by Epielle in the citrus scent. They were $1.00 and with 20% off each.

What do you think of my finds?

Until next time,

Target Collective Hauls/Target Gift Card Hauls

Hello my MJF followers,
I'm here to show you what I got with target gift card my friend Kelly got me for my birthday. I have been buy things with my gift card over a couple of months and been wanting to post all together. 
So here is the first haul.


This haul I bought a jar candle holder for $5.00 which matches my room. I found some clearance makeup that could not pass up. I got three Loreal infallible 24 hr eyeshadows in the colors Midnight Blue, Eternal Black,and Continuous Coco. They were on clearance for $2.08 and was $6.99. I really like the green one I have so I was happy to try more colors. I also found a Loreal polish in one stop base which I always need a base coat polish and figured for $1.48 that I will give it a try. The last thing I got was some kiss nail strips for $1.78 in the design KDE02.


The second haul I went to target to see if they got the eos in which they did so I Vanilla Mint and Coconut Milk. They were $2.99 each which is cheaper than Ulta. I also got a mini minion on clearance for $2.98. I was so happy to find it on clearance because I was not going to pay $5.99 for it. Even though I love minions and last Halloween I was a minion.


Most recently like a month ago and the last of the gift card. I got the last season which is season 7 of The big bang theory which I love this show. It was $24.99 which was on sale from $34.99 so I saved $10.00 which was nice. I have all of seasons and been watching since season one. If you have not seen this show check it out. I also found a few things that was not covered with gift card but had to buy. I got a pack of Halloween stickers which I saw from 37diviacici on youtube and had to buy too. For a buck is good price for 360 stickers. I also got some Halloween Tic Tacs which is Bewitching blend which has orange and apple flavor. I love the orange and the apple is even better. For a dollar its pretty good.
I also got Twizzlers in the flavor Caramel Apple which I saw on youtube again but from Kelley Michelle. They were also a $1.00 and I tried them and they are pretty good but not my favorite because I really don't like Twizzlers but these are pretty good and if you like Twizzlers you might like these and for a dollar you might want to try them.

I'm so happy with my finds and really thankful that friend got me a gift card for my birthday.
Thank you Kelly.

Orange with Skull mani

Hello my MJF followers,
This October I been wanting to do more than one Halloween mani because I love Halloween and I thought be fun. So I decided to try to do as many as I can before the last two weeks of October because I'm not going to be able to post anything. 
So here is my first Halloween Theme mani.



The products I used:
Jordana Calcium Boost Base Coat
Sparitual Kindess
Sinful Colors Cauldron Couture
Halloween Nail Sticker (skull with green eyes)
Milani Quick Shine Top Coat

This is the first time trying Sparitual brand nail polish and I'm happy that I did because this polish is amazing. It was opaque in two coats which is nice. I love this orange because it has glitter in and not jelly which is hard to find a bright orange that not a jelly. Also the Cauldron Couture is a so pretty glitter topper it not just have hex glitter but shreds. The thing that was bummer for me is the nail stickers because on second day one of my nails that I put it on peeled up and then I tried to put another one on and it also peeled off with even a top coat. Other than that I really like this mani.

What do you think of my first Halloween mani?
 Also if you have an idea of an Halloween mani let me know. Thanks.

Until next time,
Mel
