First Eye Look with E.L.F Jasmine Eye Collectin: Purple and Blue

Hello my MJF followers,
I'm here to show a eye blood I did with the Jasmine eyeshadow palette from the eye collection.


The products I used:

E.L.F. eyelid primer sheer
NYX jumbo eye pencil milk
E.L.F Jasmine eyeshadow palette (purple on eyelid, blue in crease, light cream inner corner, black outer v)
Wet N Wild eyeshadow single Brulee (brow bone highlight)
Jordana Color Envy Liquid Eyeliner Black Envy

I'm really happy how these eyeshadows performed and I love how the colors look together. I love how bright and shimmery these eyeshadows are. I can't wait to do more eye looks with the Jasmine eyeshadow palette. If you still see this Jasmine eye collection you should buy it.

Until next time,
Mel

Review: E.L.F. Disney Jasmine A Whole New World Ultimate Face Collection

Hello my MJF followers,
I'm here to give you my thoughts on the E.L.F Disney Jasmine A Whole New World Ultimate Face Collection.



In this Ultimate Face Collection come with two blushes and bronzers and has nine lip glosses. It also come with a lip and face brush.


Front of face palette which is so pretty and I love it.


The inside and has a pretty big mirror which really nice.


The blush on the left is a nice peachy-pink blush with shimmer which so pretty and what I like to wear most of the time. The bronzer on the same side is a glowy pearly brown bronzer which is nice but not good for contouring but would be good as a blush. The blush on the right side is a light pink color with shimmer which is not my cup of tea but I might try it. The bronzer is more darker and has a little bit of shimmer which might be ok for contouring. I see myself using this one more as a contoure bronzer than the other one.  They have a nice formula and not powdery.


They lip glosses are really nice and pigmented. They are not stick or goopy which is nice because I hate the lip colors that came with beauty books. If you like me and hate the lip colors you will like these but I don't see myself wearing these much because I will not bring this palette with me to touch my lip gloss up. I also like that it came with a lip brush which work nice with lip gloss.

All in all this a nice face palette if you want to take with you on a trip because you have different options in blush and bronzers. Its also nice to have if you like to wear different color blushes and bronzers. Again the thing that bugs me is that there's no names. If I like a blush or bronzer or lip gloss in this set and I want to buy a replacement and I can't because I don't know the name. I don't have many blushes or bronzers in my collection so I'm happy to have it. I still see this face palette at Walgreens and they are on sale you should pick it up and give it a try.

Until next time,
Mel



Haul and Review: E.L.F. Disney Jasmine A Whole New World Eye Collection

Hello my MJF followers,
I'm here to show you what I bought from Walgreen's and my thoughts about this Jasmine Eye Collection.
Well awhile ago I bought the E.L.F Jasmine A Whole New World Collection for $4.99 because I got the beauty book and face palette but I also wanted the eye collection. I'm a sucker for eye shadows and Disney as you can tell.



This eye collection is similar to the Snow White collection it that it comes with a six eye shadow palette and a lengthening & defining mascara and eye shadow sponge applicator. But this time they also added a full size of the brightening eyeliner pencil in black which is nice.




These eyeshadows are really nice even without primer but it says that you can use them which is nice to know and will make them even better. These shadow are really nice formula and flaky. The only thing that bugs me is that the picture on weird and I can never figure out which side to open it at and that there's no name why? As I look at these they look similar to the new Elsa glow palette. I might have to swatch the colors to compare. I think this palette is a nice for everyday or when you want to use some color. If you are a matte eyeshadow kinda girl these are not for you. If you can find this Eye collection you should get it because I've see lady's find it on clearance and for the price you get a lot.

I know I'm kinda behind but I'm trying to get caught up.

Did you buy this eye collection? Would you like to see some comparison swatches with the new Elsa glow eyeshadows?

Until next time,
Mel

With flash

Indoor lighting no flash

The products I used:
Loreal one stop base coat
NYC quick dry Jacaranda flower

I've been wanting to do more manicure with stamping and this one came out pretty good. I love how the Jacaranda flower looks with Tulle kit on top with star flower stamp. I was sad to take it off. I really like Jacaranda flower its a pretty cream purple and can't wait to use it as a stamp color.

Review: E.L.F Elsa Snow and Ice Glow Eyeshadow Palette

Hello my MJF follower,
I'm here to share my thoughts on the E.L.F Elsa Snow and Ice Glow Eye shadow Palette.


Here is the front of the palette and the back of the palette which is different from the other eye shadow Eye collections. This palette has nine eye shadows and the other collections has six.

Here are swatches of the eyeshadows. I was happy to see that these eyeshadows are pigmented and have a good formula. The only color that does not look like what is in the pan is the second one from the top. It not orange it like a duo chrome pinky shade which is beautiful and would be nice a brow bone or inner corner highlight or topped over a different color to give it some more sparkle. The last color looks black with but its actually a dark purple brown color with pink and purple glitter. If you wondering if these eyeshadow are the same as the beauty book they are not but there are few colors that are similar in color but not the same but close. You also get more colors than in the beauty book. If you don't find the beauty book then you would be happy with this eyeshadow palette. The only thing that bugs me that eyeshadow palette are more than the other eyeshadow palettes from the collections which were $4.99 and this was $6.99. It seams that all of items in this collection was more than the other collections. I would of bought more if the prices was not raised, just saying.

What do you think of this collection?

Until next time,

Review: E.L.F Disney Elsa Snow and Ice Beauty Book

Hello my MJF followers,
I'm here to share my thoughts on the E.L.F Elsa Makeup Collection from Walgreen's.
I will be sharing my thought on the beauty book and will be posting about the E.L.F Glow eye shadow next. So keep an eye out for that.
Here is the cover and back of the beauty book. Just like the other beauty book I love all of the art/design of the book it goes well with the movie frozen.
This beauty book also has a mirror just the other beauty books and I love that they put the ice castle just like the one in the movie with the saying "Don't Conceal, Don't Hide...".
In this beauty book it comes with a full size e.l.f eyeshadow brush with eight eyeshadows, a highlighting powder, two eyeliners, and a Lip color. This beauty book is similar to Ariel beauty book in that it has a eyeshadow bush.
 As you can see it also come with a step by step guide of how to use the products but this time they had a picture how it looked on the Elsa which is nice to see.

Swatches from top to right:
Eyeshadows: Kristoff, Sven, Anna, Hans
Olaf, Arendelle, Elsa, Marshmallow
Starry Night - black with sliver glitter shimmer pencil
Frozen Heart - Black eyeliner pencil
Snow Queen - Highlighting powder
Royal Pursuit -Hot pink lip color

When I first saw pictures of this beauty book on instagram I was excited to add it to my E.L.F Disney princess collection. When I saw it in the store the eyeshadows did not grab me but when I swatched them I was surprised how pretty they are. There is two eyeshadow that was ok in pigmentation and formulation that was olaf and Elsa. Olaf was kinda powdery but pigmented and I can work with it. Elsa a was not very pigmented but it a really pretty duo purple color that will need a base to get more pigmented but again its work able. All of the eyeshadows are glittery or metallic so if that's not your thing you might want to skip this beauty book. If you are like me and love glitter and metallic eyeshadows you must get it.
The highlighting powder is so beautiful and I might use it as an eyeshadow as well. The only thing that bugged me is that the raised the price from $9.99 to $12.99. I don't know why they did that because its similar to the rest of the books. Besides that I'm happy that I bought it. If you asked me if I would of bought this beauty book after swatching them and it would be a yes.

What do you think about this beauty book? Did you buy it or anything from the Elsa Collection let me know?

Until next time,
Mel
