Elf Lip Exfoliator -- MAJOR KEY

How did I just now discover this product?! It's a "major key" for us matte lippie loving ladies!

When I first use the product, I will admit I didn't think it worked.  The surface was very smooth.  But of course, as with anything, you have to break it in.  After applying the product and breaking down the smooth surface, it was then that I could tell it actually felt like an exfoliator.  It also has a really nice smell and taste.  It also seems to have a moisturizing effect. 

I noticed it makes a major difference when you're ready to apply lippies right after using. I recommend using on dampened lips. You will definitely notice a difference.  There's nothing worse than having cracked crusty lips due to lipstick or gloss.

This retails for about $3.00 and can be purchased at almost any drugstore as with any Elf products.  I purchased mine at Walmart.  This, for me, is a must have if you wear matte lipstick/liquid matte lipsticks or if your lips are just dry in general.  Ladies, don't sleep on Elf products.  They are inexpensive, but packs a major bang for the buck! 

Stay tuned for a review on my favorite Elf brushes!

New product!

 

I am in LOVE with these concealers!!! They are LA Girl Pro Conceal. I first heard about them on instagram and there are tons of youtube videos about them.  Some of the youtube gurus even compare them to MAC's pro longwear.  I used MAc's pro longwear some time ago before I even knew what to do with it so I can't really compare the two. 

 

So, the shades I purchased are toast, beautiful bronze, espresso, and chestnut.  I've only used toast and it's perfect to use under my brows and to cover any blemishes.  Its seems to match my skin tone very well. I have not tried any of the other shades yet but what I can say is all the other shades mentioned above appear to be darker than toast. Although, they do look the same in the pic above, they are significantly different.  I will be ordering a few more of the lighter shades to use for a highlight.

Also these can be used for a foundation and appear to be full coverage or "buildable." One tip about these concealers, they tend to dry fairly quickly so if you're using them under your eyes, only do one eye at a time so that you can begin blending right away. Or it WILL dry! They don't seem to be very moisturizing so I probably will not be using them as foundation but who knows it wont hurt to try it out.

 

I purchased these from ikatehouse for $1.99 each. The shipping was $3.95 and is fairly quick.  I ordered on a Sunday and received my package on a Thursday. 

 

Needless to say, my final thoughts on this product is I love it and would totally recommend to a friend.

Daily Look

What I use for a quick look with a hint of color on the cheeks!
MAC’s Studio Moisture Tint
MAC’s Sheertone Shimmer Blush in “sweet as cocoa”
Maybelline’s “the falsies” mascara
I am in LOVE with this moisture tint! My skin is dry so it does moisturize. It doesn’t give you that heavy feeling which is also great b/c of the humidity where I live. It offers minimal coverage but I do believe you can build it “some”.
The blush is my daily “go to” blush.  It is great on my skin tone for a neutral look.  I AM a BROWN GIRL :)
The falsies mascara….I cannot say enough about it.  You can get it at any drugstore, Wal-Mart, Walgreens, just about anywhere. I actually purchased mine at Walgreens. It was buy one get one half off (any Maybelline product). You can actually see my lashes when I put this on whereas normally you cant. This is the ONLY mascara I’ve used so far that gives me the results I want!
