Review: E.l.f 100 Eye Shadow Palette

Where to get it
You can get this palette off of Amazon, Target's website, or the E.l.f website.

Price:
I purchased mine from Amazon for $10.00 which is very cheap cheap for all the eye shadows you get.

What you get:
Basically what you get in this palette is 100 eye shadows, all the colors of the rainbow and more. You could do a neutral look, a silver smoky look, or even a bright, fun look. This palette is full of different finishes, some are frosty, others are shimmery, and a few are matte. It also comes with two sponge tip applicators and a little mirror.

Pigmentation/Quality:
These eye shadows look fairly pigmented in the swatches and they are however some are quite powdery which means lots of fallout and not much sticking to the eye. The way I apply these eye shadows is with a sticky base like a cream eye shadow. I normally do this with all of my eye shadows no matter what brand or quality they are just because I think it prolongs their wear so it was not that big of a deal for me but if your someone who likes to just swipe a shadow across your lid without any extra steps this would be a downside for you. I would say the quality is not the best because you do need to use a sticky base but after using a base the shadows do look gorgeous. Now with the lasting power, these shadows can last the whole day with a good primer. I do not recommend using these eye shadows without a primer because they will fade in no time.

Who would I recommend this to:
The people I would recommend this palette to would be beginners because it has a large assortment of colors and it is not going to break the bank because it is only $10.00.

Overall Thoughts:
My overall thoughts on this palette are that it has alright quality but I still would recommend it to beginners because it gives a variety of colors to choose from in just one palette for an affordable price. I do like that it comes with just about every color you can think of and that it has a variety of finishes. Knowing what it is like now I still would have purchased it because it is a good palette to have when you do bright and different looks like I do.

Overall Rating:
8/10

E.l.f Studio Line Blush "Tickled Pink"







This particular blush is the E.l.f blush in Tickled Pink. This blush was only $3.00 and it is part of E.l.f's Studio Line. This line sells all of there blushes for only 3 bucks! Super cheap, right? Well that's basically why I am obsessed with E.l.f, everything is so reasonable.
This blush is just a flat color, no shimmer or glitter. The finish isn't so much matte but it's a satiny finish. The color is definitely very natural. it is a natural mauve pink. If you just want a natural flush of color this is the right blush for you! The pigmentation of this blush is nice, all you have to do is tap your brush in the blush twice and you ve a nice anount. The swatch doesn't make it look very pigmented but it actually is well pigmented. it's not amazing like th E.l.f blush in Pink Passion but it's good. I do really like this blush for natural days and would reccomend this if you want a cheap natural blush.

E.l.f Studio Line Blush "Pink Passion"






   Not to long ago I picked up the E.l.f Blush in Pink Passion from Target. I always look at E.l.f. Cosmetics whenever I go to target because it's so affordable and has great quality products. I have seen this blush a few times but never picked it up because I'm not a blush type of girl and contemplated whether I should get it or not. I finally picked it up because one it was a gorgeous pink and two it was only $3.00. I knew whether the pigment wasn't good or the color didn't look good on me I wouldn't care that I spent my money on it because it was so cheap.
   I ended up loving this blush! The color is definitely a super pretty neon pink. This blush is very pigmented and only takes one swipe of a blush brush to get alot of product. You almost have to be careful with how much you get on the brush because it is very bright and will show up very bright on your skin. I just tap my brush in the blush once which gives a nice amount. Other than the great quality of the blush, the packaging is great! I love how sleek the packaging is and how its simple and black. The packaging reminds me of NARS blushes because the packaging is sleek and black just like the E.l.f one except the E.l.f packaging shows the color while the NARS blushes don't. Obviously I love this blush.
