Halloween themed Manicure

It's about the dreariest day possible. It's overcast and chilly and the epitome of fall here in southeast Michigan. That means it's not great lighting for taking photographs, but I wanted to share the mani that I did on myself last night. I wanted to do something sort of halloween themed, but I didn't have time to do a lot of stamping or nail art. So I decided to do something simple, and I love the way it turned out!

On my pinkie and thumb I have 2 coats of Sinful Colors Black on Black. It's a nice, shiny black cream polish. There is also one coat of Sinful Colors Black on Black under a coat of Sinful Colors Black Magic.Black Magic is a clear base chock full of medium sized orange glitter and charcoal colored micro glitter. Black Magic is part of Sinful Colors Halloween line of polishes and it's stunning! On my pointer finger and middle finger there are two coats of Wet n Wild 9.0.2.1.orange. It's a gorgeous sheer orange with tons of gold shimmer running through it.

Together, I think this makes a perfect black and orange halloween themed mani. It's a great manicure that doesn't require any nail art skills, and because the dense glitter polish is only one the one nail, it should be relatively easy to get off.

Hopefully you enjoyed this and maybe got an idea for a cute super easy halloween manicure! Stay tuned for more halloween themed manis as the month progresses! See ya again soon!

Elf Disney Villains 2013 Collection: First Impression and Swatches!

If you've been reading my blog for a while then you might remember my excitement about the E.L.F. Villainous Villains Limited edition collection of products from last year. Well, they're back, baby, and better than ever. This year, E.L.F. has come out with FOUR villain look books (last year only three villains were featured- Maleficent, Cruella and The Wicked Queen. This year they added Ursula into the mix) as well as a collection of mini nail polishes. These products are all exclusive to walgreens. Last year, these were incredibly difficult for me to find. I searched high and low, went to about five different walgreens and finally had a very kind saleslady hold them for me until my husband could get down there, and he bought the very last ones! This year, I had zero trouble finding these babies! I walked into my local walgreens and spotted them as soon as I walked through the automatic doors!

 The look books were on display along with the nail polishes from Ellf, as well as other dsney villains themed products including false lashes from ardell, some hair things and some makeup bags. Let me tell you, I LOVE the disney villains, and it was so hard not to put one of everything in my cart!

But, I didn't. I pushed away the urge to buy everything and walked out with just one of the Disney Villains Look Books. I chose Ursula, since there wasn't a book available for her last year. And because I am a sucker for purple eyeshadows!

Elf Disney Villains Ursula Look Book

Isn't it just gorgeous! These books are quite a bit bigger than the ones from last year and feature white packaging with a gorgeous watercolor style image of the villain, in this case, Ursula. The packaging on this is so pretty and stylized. I love it! The book opens up in a sort of french door style (I am blanking on how else to describe it) and on either side of the products, there are written instructions on how to create both a day look, and a night look. These tutorials aren't as in-depth as the ones from the books last year, but useful nonetheless. I will be doing a separate post later on the looks that can be created, so be on the lookout for that!

Each of the look books comes with 1 eyelid primer, 6 eyeshadows, 1 brightening eyeliner, 1 liquid eyeliner, 1 mascara, 1 lip color ans 1 eyeshadow brush. Unlike last year's books, where the products were built in and couldn't be removed, these are all individual products that can be removed, which makes application super easy. Let's go over each of the products included in this book and look at them a little closer!

Elf Lengthening and Defining Mascara in black- This is the mascara from Elf's essential line. It can be purchased from their website for $1. I have never actually used this mascara before, so I am interesting in trying it out. The wand on this mascara is a regular bristle wand, not a rubberized one. Normally I prefer the rubberized wands, but we shall see. The head of this wand is also a bit smaller than some of the other wands I have tried previously, so that should be helpful in really getting in close to the lashline. I will have a full review on this mascara in an upcoming post.

Elf Brightening Eyeliner in Black- This is the eyeliner from Elf's essential line. It can be purchased from Elf's website for $1. That's for the full size. This is a mini travel size pencil. This isn't the blackest eyeliner ever, but it's nice and soft and easy to use. You can smudge it easily which makes it nice.

Elf Liquid Eyeliner in Midnight- I really like Elf's liquid eyeliner. This is from Elfs essential line as well and can also be purchased from their website for one dollar. I find that elf's liquid liners are easy to apply (well, as easy as liquid eyeliner is to apply) and dries relatively quickly, and lasts for quite a while! I don't find that it flakes on me, though I have heard that complaint from others. Still, it's a nice addition to the set.

Liquid liner in midnight, brightening eye liner in black

Elf Eyelid Primer- this is one of my holy grail products from Elf. It's just $1 from their essential line and it works just as well as higher end primers, on me. I find that it really helps to make colored eye shadows pop, which makes it a perfect addition to this colorful collection.

Elf professional eyeshadow brush- This is another one of my holy grail items from elf. This brush is fantastic, especially for it's price tag, which is $1 on Elf's website. It's a flat shader brush that is perfect for laying down color. I highly recommend this, and I am so excited to have an extra!

Elf Lip Color- This is an absolutely beautiful opaque lip cream. The one in the Ursula look book is a gorgeous mid-toned pink that isn't too muted or too bright. I found this lip color to be incredibly pigmented, long lasting (for a gloss) and very glossy. I love this!

Ursula Lip Color

 The eye shadows that are included in the Ursula Look Book are:

Coral- a shimmery pale lavender shade
Sea witch- a bright, matte fuchsia purple shade
Shell- a gorgeous green with a satin finish
Kiss the Girl- a super pigmented midtoned brown
Triton- a brighter mid-toned purple with a matte finish
Bewitched- a matte charcoal gray

Sometimes Elf's eyeshadows can be quite hit or miss, but I found, overall, the quality of these eyeshadows to be quite good! You can see, below, the swatches which are done on bare skin. I am certain that with an eye primer, these would really pop and be gorgeous! I apologize for my photos, which are looking quite washed out, but you can get an idea on pigmentation here. And just look at that gorgeous brown shade, called Kiss the girl.

Coral, Sea Witch, Shell
Kiss the Girl, Triton, bewitched

So there ya have it. That's the Ursula look book. I was so pleased to be able ti find this and add it to my collection of books from last year!

But wait! There's more!

My amazing husband got me a present. I was more than happy with my ursula book, so he got me my next favorite Disney Villain! Maleficent!!

Elf Disney Villains Maleficent Look Book

This book comes with all the same products as the Ursula one. Only differences are, the eye shadows and the lip color.

The Maleficent Look book comes with these eye shadows:

Flora- a cream color
Fauna- a sort of khaki color with a gorgeous sheen
Spell- a gorgeous shimmery green
Deep Sleep- a silvery light green shade
Thorns- a dark ruddy brown
Raven Black- a matte black

You can see in the photo below some are more pigmented than others and the black is a bit chalky but these can all be worked with!

Flora, Fauna, Spell
Deep Sleep, Thorns, Raven Black 

And the Maleficent Lip Color is this gorgeous red:

Maleficent Lip Color

Overall I think, of the look books I have tried, this is a great collection! Heck, just the novelty alone makes this worth the $9.99 price tag to me, and the products are all product I will use!! I am going to try very hard to contain myself and not buy the other products in this collection, but its so hard!! Which Disney villain is your favorite? I would love to hear from you! Leave me a comment on this post, or else use the contact card below to get in touch!! Thanks for stopping by, guys, and be on the lookout for posts on the looks I plan to create with these sets!

Maybelline Baby Lips Limited edition shades

If you're a constant reader of my blog you know that I absolutely love the maybelline baby lips lip balms. Well, when I came across a display at my local walmart with new limited edition shades, I immediately jumped up and down and tossed em into my cart! There are three new limited edition shades and they are awesome! I thought I would share with you my thoughts on them, as well as a few quick swatches!

Unfortunately I did not remember t get a good photo of these beauties in their packaging before I excitedly tore into them, but you can see them here in this photo from one of my recent hauls. As you can see, these were sold in packs of two. There was also a third 2 pack, but it contained two of the shades from the permanent line, and since I already had them, it didn't make sense for me to buy the, The first pack of two came with two brand new limited edition shades in Coral Crush (A beautiful sheer true coral shade), and Pink Wink (a super super pale pink that is practically clear). The second two pack contained one permanent shade, peach kiss, which I already owned, but I purchased the pack anyway to get my hands on the limited edition shade, which is twinkle. Twinkle is a light pink shade that is so pretty!

L to R: Coral Crush, pink wink, twinkle

Like the permanent range of baby lips lip balms, these are super moisturizing. They glide on to the lips nice and smooth. They all smell great too. If you aren't a fan of scents in products you'll want to steer clear of these. Coral Crush smells like sweet candy, Twinkle smells just like bubble gum and pink wink has a fruity scent. Such yummy smells.

As far as pigmentation goes, these can be layered on for a deeper pigmentation, but they are all pretty sheer. twinkle is so light it basically is just sheer on my lips. Coral Crush and pink wink however have a nice pigmentation when applied in layers. The coral is by far my favorite. Just look at that gorgeous color!

L to R: Coral Crush, Pink Wink, twinkle

So overall, if you are a fan of the maybelline baby lips lip balms, I highly suggest running out and grabbing these limited edition shades if you haven't done so already. They are amazing, especially the shade coral crush. It's amazing! These two packs of lip balms retail for around 8 dollars. At 4 dollars a lip balm, that is a bit pricey, but these are definitely worth it in my opinion. Their fun packaging, great smell, wonderful pigmentation and super moisturizing qualities make them a must have item in my book!

Which color are you loving? Leave me a comment down below and let me know!

note: I originally mixed up pink wink and twinkle. It's fixed now, so the swatches you are seeing are labelled correctly now. Sorry for the mishap!

Urban Decay and Walmart haul

I'm back! I am sorry, once again for the delay. I decided since it's been a while since I blogged, the best post to write up to get back into swing of things would be a haul post. Hauls are my favorite! I love to shop and share my purchases with all of you!

Earlier in the month, I put in an order with Urban Decay. It was just a tiny little order. I didn't really NEED anything, but you all know how much I love their sale page. Here's what I got!

 

The Skull Shadow box is so cute! It's a silver box packaging with an adorable pink skull on the front. Inside, you get 9 eye shadows and an eyeshadow applicator. The colors included in the box are Cherry, Midnight Cowboy Rides Again, Grifter, Vert, Oil Slick, Shattered, Blunt Chopper and Twice Baked.  I picked up this little eye shadow box for just $12!

 Cherry, Midnight Cowboy Rides Again, Grifter

Vert, Oil Slick, Shattered

Blunt, Chopper, Twice Baked

 I also picked up three Urban Decay lipsticks! These originally were listed at @22. But they are being discontinued so they were on sale for just $3 each. I picked up three in the colors Confession, Apocalypse and Pistol. Confession is a deep but wearable purple shade. Apocalypse is like a more sheer version of  Confession, and Pistol is a pretty pink-y red shade with sparkle. i love the vampy shades for fall!

super cute dagger on the packaging

Confession, Apocalypse, Pistol

That was all that I ordered from Urban Decay, but wait, there's more! Last night I went to Walmart. I picked up a couple clothing items, a few makeup items and some other essentials.

I picked up three pairs of pants. The first is a pair of simple dark wash denim jeans, The second is a plum color pair of pants from the faded glory brand. The third is just a super simple pair of black leggings.

 I also picked up 2 tops. One is just a basic black cami that I needed. The second is an adorable patterned sheer peasant top with shades of teal and green and cream. It's got a cute tie detail around the neckline and it's banded along the bottom. It's hard to get a feel for how this looks in the photo, but I'll be sure to post an outfit of the day featuring this stop soon!

 Next I just grabbed a few essential items. I picked yup the VO5 Herbal Escape Shampoo and Conditioner in pomegranate. I have never tried this before, but it was super cheap. Like 97 cents a bottle or something. So if I hate it, I won't be out much. I also got some Suave body wash in the scent Wild Cherry Blossom. I got another bottle of the Aussie 3 minute miracle because I am almost out and it's my favorite deep conditioner. I picked up a product I have never tried before, but have been very interested in trying out. It's the organix Moroccan and argon oil. I am anxious to see what this stuff does to my dry, coarse and frizzy hair. I also got a bottle of Suave Keratin infusion dry shampoo. And a Secret deodorant, since I ran out of my last one. Lastly, I got a new shower pouf, because my old one had seen better days!

And of course, no shopping trip would be complete without a trip down the cosmetics aiseles. I picked up some of the new limited edition shades of the Maybelline Baby lips lip balms. You all know, if you have been reading my blog for a while, how much I enjoy the baby lips products. The limited edition shades come in a package of two. The first pack I got contained two shades that I didn't already own, Coral Crush and Twinkle. The second set I picked up contained one shade I already own in Peach Kiss and one new shade, Pink Wink. I also picked up a wet n wild Color Icon Eyeshadow palette in Petal Pusher, which contains 8 shades in various pink and purple shades. I also picked up some hair elastics and some bobby pins, since those always seem to up and disappear on me. 

So, that does it for my and my haul for today! I will be back to regularly posting from now on (knock on wood) so I will talk to you all again real soon! Leave me a comment down below and let me know what you've purchased recently!

September Favorites and a fail!

I tried multiple times to film a video on my monthly favorites, and it just wasn't happening. The lighting was bad. My four year old kept interrupting, etc. So I am bringing you my September favorites the old fashioned way. You all don't mind, right?

Before I get started I want to say that I am still loving all of my monthy favorites from last month. So if you haven't checked out my August favorites, be sure to do so! I used all of those products over the course of September, too. So, the products I talk to you about today are really in addition to those.

 First, I will talk to you all about my favorite face products for the month of September. I have quite a few new products to rave about!

I have talked about the Elf mineral infused face primer before in my monthly favorites, but I wanted to talk about it again because it really is an amazing product. It's a silky clear gel that you apply before putting on your foundation. I love it because it makes my foundation glide on easily. It helps to even out my skin and it really helps to make my foundation last. I can't say enough good things about this product. The only thing that I don't like about this product is that the pump gets clogged. My pump quit working about a month after I had the product, so now I am forced to open the bottle to get the product out, which is not the most sanitary thing in the world. But, I am willing to overlook that because the product is so good. It's one of Elf's most expensive products. This will cost you $6.00 full price. But that's still an amazing price for this product, and there are always half off coupon codes for Eyeslipsface.com.

Next up is the Elf tone correcting concealer. You all just saw this in my most recent Elf haul. I didn't purchase this until the second half of the month, but I am putting it in here because I have used this concealer everyday since I bought it. It's a great concealer. I like to use it under my eyes. It blends so easily and smoothly, so it is not necessary for me to pull and tug at that sensitive area to get the concealer to get it blended. The color is the perfect shade for my skin tone. I got mine in light beige. I also love the smell of this product. It's got Elf's sugar orange smell to it, and I really enjoy that scent. I know it seems funny to talk about how good a concealer smells, but there ya go. haha. The best part about this product is the price. Just a dollar!

Another product that I got in my most recent Elf haul that I have been loving in the Elf maximum coverage concealer. I really like this concealer for spots and blemishes. It reminds me a lot of the Hard Candy glamoflauge concealer, except that I like this one better because it blends easier and doesn't cake up like the Hard Candy one can do. This concealer is new to Elf and it's one of the best face products I have used by the company. I highly recommend it! It's available from their studio line and cost just 3 dollars.

Lastly, I want to talk about the foundation that I have been loving this month. I also featured this in my last haul. Apparently I made good choices during my last shopping trip. This is the NYC smooth skin liquid makeup. I purchased the shade barely beige, which I worried would be too dark for me, but it's the perfect color for my skin. I talked about this foundation in my "i'm sick" makeup video and also featured it in my getting ready with me video. I love this foundation. It's very easy to blend, gives medium coverage and really lasts on me, especially when used in conjunction with the elf mineral infused face primer. I have heard this foundation compared to the infamous Revlon Color Sta. I haven't used that one, and I don't think I will ever need to buy it, because this is a quarter of the price (I got mine on sale for less than 2 dollars!) and works fantastic for me. My only negative is that this foundation does not come with a pump, and is very difficult to get out of the bottle. Other than that I give this foundation 5 stars!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next, let's talk about my favorite eye products of the month. I have recently been reaching a lot for my Urban Decay Rollergirl palette. This is an eyeshadow palette that contains four eyeshadows. 3 neutrals and one bright pink. I have been reaching for this because it's got great neutrals that I use practically everyday and it's small enough to just throw in my bag for touch ups. This palette contains Urban Decay eyeshadows in Woodstock, Verve, suspect and darkhorse. Most days this month I have been using suspect all over my lid, verve as a brow bone and inner corner highlight, and darkhorse in my crease. It makes for a super simple, but super pretty look.

And I want to give some love to the Elf essential line of brushes. The face brushes from that line are crap. The studio face brushes are far superior. But, the essential eye brushes are amazing! I feel like I haven't talked about them enough on this blog. I really like the eye brushes and I use them practically everyday. They are all very soft brushes that do not shed. I love that I can get all the eye brushes I need from Elf and still spend less than what it would cost to buy just one eye brush from coastal scents or sigma. I highly reccomend that you try out all the the essential line of eye brushes from Elf!

 

I have been loving trying out lots of different lipsticks this month. I've got three favorites to share with you today.

First is the NYC Ultra moist lipwear in violet shine. I got this lipstick at the same time I picked up the NYC foundation I talked about above. All of the NYC products were 40 percent off, so I got this lipstick for just 59 cents! And what a steal that was because I have been getting a ton of wear out of this lipstick. Like the name implies it is a very moisturizing lipstick. The color is a purpl-y pink, with a nice shine. This lipstick does not have any taste and has a bit of that plastic cheap makeup smell, but it doesn't linger. I am not crazy about the packaging. The bullet does not go all the way down, so when you put the lid on you risk nicking the lipstick (which I have done a couple of times) but overall I really adore this lip color!

Another lipstick I have worn a lot this month is the Elf lipstick in Voo Doo. This is one of their essential lipsticks that costs just a dollar and this is one of my all time favorite lipsticks. It's a brick red shade with some brown in it so it makes it very wearable for me. I love this color and always break it out in the early days of fall, because I find it to be the perfect transition color to take me from summer into fall and winter.

The last lipstick is another one I got in my most recent Elf haul and it's the mineral lipstick in Party Pink. This lipstick will cost you 5 dollars, and it's worth every penny. This lipstick glides on so smooth and is incredibly moisturizing. The packaging for this lipstick is a a nice black square tube. It's really nice packaging, and holds up a lot better than their essential lipsticks. the color is a beautiful mid toned pink, that I think would be flattering on every skin tone. The color doesn't exactly scream Fall to me, but I still have been wearing it a ton because it's just a great quality lipstick. I really want to try more of the mineral line of lipsticks from Elf.

One random non beauty favorite that I want to talk about is a candle. I recently picked up a fall scented candle from walmart and I have been burning it like crazy since I purchased it. It's the Better Homes and Gardens limited edition Candle in Spiced Pumpkin Pie. I LOVE the smell of this. It's the epitome of fall in a candle if you ask me. I thought I would include it just in case anyone wanted to pick it up before it's no longer available for purchase! Plus, I like to throw in non-beauty related favorites sometimes just to mix it up a bit!

That's it for my favorites for the month of September, but I do want to tell you all about a product that did not work for me. It's the Elf eyebrow treat and tame. I picked this up in my last Elf haul because, as you all know if you have been reading my blog for a while, I really hate my eyebrows. They are sparse and light and wiry and I have a really hard time getting them to look right. I am lazy about filling them in, too, which makes it worse. So I thought that this product would be great for me. It's a brown gel that comes in a tube and is applied with a mascara type wand. It also has a clear gel on the other end that is supposed to help treat your eyebrows and help to grow them in. I thought that part would be perfect for my sparse brows!

Well, the tame side, the side with the brown gel, is just a mess to apply. The wand makes it impossible to apply the product neatly. It goes all over the place. And the gel smells terrible. It's got this burnt plastic smell that I cannot tolerate. The color of the gel is nice, and matches my eyebrows okay (I bought it in the shade dark) but, even that doesn't save this product because the gel flakes off after just a couple of hours of wear.  It also seems like this product has some false fibers in it, which I find incredibly weird, and they don't work anyway. This part of the product was a complete bust for me.

I don't know if the treat side works. I have only been using it a couple of weeks, and have not noticed any difference at all. I will continue to use the treat side of the product, and let you all know if I see any results. Maybe I will, and that will save this product from being a complete waste of money. WE shall see.

Okay, that's it for this month! I hope you all had an amazing September and have an equally amazing October! Thanks for stopping by!!

E.L.F. Disney Villainous Villains collection

About a month ago I started hearing murmuring that Elf was going to be doing a collection of their beauty books that would pay homage to the best of the Disney Villains. Then, the murmuring became a scream of excitement when it was said that they would be released as a walgreens exclusive item! So, on the day that these babies were set to be released, I drug my husband out the door and we were on a mission to find them. See, these books are super limited edition. Apparently only 5000 walgreens stores were going to be getting them in, and even then only in a very limited quantity. So we checked all the local walgreens and none of these beautiful books could be found. So, feeling very disappointed, I went home.

My husband told me that while he was out and about at work he would stop in to a few other walgreens if he had the chance. And the following day, he had a bit of luck. One of the stores that he stopped at had actually heard of these books! And they were supposed to be getting them in, she just wasn't sure when. So she took down my husband's name and phone number and said that she would call him when they came in. The very next day he got the call, and she was kind enough to set aside the books for me. Which was incredibly nice of her considering the display only came with nine of the books. That's 3 of each book. WOW! I knew they would be available in limited quantities, but this was crazy! When my husband got there to pick up the ones she had kindly set aside for me, the books were all sold out! So, if these hadn't been set aside for me, I never would have gotten them before they sold out!

Anyway, that's the story of how I finally got these in my hands! It took a total of three days, and visits to 6 different walgreens stores. But, I finally have them to show you!

Before I get into photos and swatches, let me tell you a little about these books.

From Elf's Website:

Do you dare to be villainous? Each Limited Edition Disney Villainous Villains Makeup Book is a collectible makeup set that is sure to reflect your gorgeously evil inner diva, featuring the infamous Disney Villains: Cruella de Vil from 101 Dalmatians, Evil Queen from Snow White and Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty.

Each all-in-one book includes the must-have makeup essentials and a step-by-step guide to create your favorite Disney villain look for both day and night, so you can be beautifully wicked for any occasion.

Each book includes:
8 Eyeshadows
2 Lip & Cheek Color Pencils
1 Eyeshadow Primer
1 Liquid Eyeliner
1 set of False Eyelashes
1 Lash Adhesive Glue
1 Built-in Mirror




Now let me give you a closer look at each book!


Cruella Evil Everyday Eyes



Cruella's book is all about creating an everyday eye look. The book contains the follwing eyeshadows:
(for the Day Evil look)
puppy love- a matte cream color
coat of dreams- a shimmery champagne color
cruelly- a satin sage green
sewage- a shimmery mid toned brown

(For the Night Villain look)
spoiled- a shimmery cream color
maniac- a shimmery brown with golden undertones
little beasts- a matte brown
extinction- a shimmery dark brown

The book also includes 2 eye and cheek color pencils. The day Evil one is a baby pink color, and the night villain one is a bright Red. You also get an eye primer and a liquid eyeliner in Black. You also get a set of false eyelashes and a tube of lash glue.




A really neat feature of these books is that they give you a guide and detailed instructions so that you can create the villain's makeup looks.



Evil Queen Devious Dramatic Eyes




The Evil Queen book is all about creating a dramatic eye look. Of the three books, the pigmentation on the eyeshadows for this was were the most disappointing. I am sure that with a primer and/or base these colors would show up better, but I swatched on bare skin and some of the colors barely show up, as you can see from the picture below.

The eyeshadow colors in this book are as follows:
(Day Evil)
One bite- a yellow toned cream with satin finish
vanity- a matte cream color
narcissist- a satin lilac color
potion- A deep Satin plum color

(Night Villain)
Fairest of the land- a Satin White
Majesty- a mid toned purple with a satin finish
peddlers Cloak- a shimmery brown
poison apple- a matte black

The lip and cheek color pencils in this one are a purple-y pink and a red. the eyeliner is black, and you also get an eye primer, a set of false lashes and a tube of lash glue




And, once again, a guide on how to create a day look

And a night look


Maleficent Sinister Smoky Eyes



The Maleficent book is all about creating a smoky eye. This is the book I was most excited about getting my hands on. The pigmentation is good on this one, and I think it will make a gorgeous look!

The eyeshadows in this book are:
(Day Evil)
Spindle: a satin light pink
sceptre- a shimmery champagne with some gold undertones
fog of doom- a mid-toned blue
fauna- a blue grey satin color

(Night Villain)
misfortune- a silvery grey
Forest of Thorns- a gunmetal grey with silver shimmer
deep sleep- a mid-toned purple
diablo- a matte black

Unlike the other two, this one comes with a shimmer liquid eyeliner, which i could not get to show up in the swatch photos but that is quite pretty. the cheek and lip color pencils in this one are a berry shade, and a plum shade. This book also, like the others comes with a eye primer, a set of false lashes and a tube of lash glue




And a step by step guide to creating a day appropriate smoky look


and a night look


One last photo to show you how the books looks when it is entirely opened up:




so that is an up close and personal look at the 3 beauty books in the E.L.F. villainous villains Collection. I hope you all enjoyed this. Let me know in the comments if you would like to see the finished looks from the how-to portion of the book in upcoming face of the days!
