Maybe you were just hoping it was more affordable, I would have never bought it at regular price.

Wow, nothing like shopping on a nice day that automatically puts me in a great mood.

That's why I jumped on the sale two for the price of one basically and the shipping wasn't too bad. Its usually really expensive to get things delivered here so I jump on free shipping or low shipping deals.

I just placed my first ELF order.  I received an ELF eyeshadow in a trade and have been using it almost daily.  With the code ZA43r, I got $10 off (it was 50% off, up to $10).  It came to $17.95 with shipping.  I had about $30 worth of stuff in my cart to begin with (which is surprisingly difficult - it seems like everything is $1-5) - most of which were brushes.

That's a good deal!

I promised myself I would save more money this month, but I somehow fell into this "Oh it's spring, must buy new things for the new season!" mentality and I bought lots of things recently. I regret nothing!

Things I bought: 

Maybelline Vivids Lipstick in Shocking Coral

-Really different from what I normally wear (MAC Snob) but I love it! It's so pretty and even after the vividness wears throughout the day, it stains nicely and I'll apply some rosebud salve over top to revamp my look while I'm at work. 

Make Up For Ever HD Foundation

-I'm already a fan of the mat velvet which I used all winter, and this one does not disappoint either

Make Up For Ever Aqua Brow Gel

-I think I won't ever stop using this product.....it's amazing. I like my eyebrows super dark, pretty much black, and I haven't found any brand that has the right color eyebrow pencils and powders and such. But this is not too brown, it suits me all too well. The only thing is it dries quite quickly so you have to be comfortable working fast on your eyebrows. At least that's how I felt, but still an AMAZING product. 

At my Sephora trip when I bought the MUFE products, the associate also tested Hourglass Immaculate Foundation on me and gave me a generous sample of that. It's quite an interesting texture, but I don't know that I'd buy the full size at $55. I also received a sample of Becca Ever Matte Primer. I find it's application difficult in a way but it really does work nicely for my skin. 

Of course since I work in a mall, I have bought quite a few clothing items. It doesn't help that Topshop is next door, I always find myself looking at their sale accessories; the cutest jewelry for $3 or 75% off. Too hard to resist. ):

Thought I'd share my recent purchases and my thoughts!

I have the Elf Kabuki Face Brush and it's pretty good. There have been times when I have been ordering from Sigma and have contemplated getting a more expensive kabuki brush from there but I've always decided against it since the Elf one is good!

For $3.14, it's definitely worth a try.  I already have a few, but you can never have too many.  Hopefully it's bigger than the pathetic mini kabuki brush I got in a Bare Minerals kit.  My friend's wife loves ELF and, after I saw how cheap their products are, I've been meaning to try them for like 2 years.

I've been wanting to try the facial whip! Wonder if it is any good. I use the blending blush/bronzer brush daily it is so useful! Good order!

Good order!

I heard Lilac Petal was a decent dupe for Benefit's High Beam, but that's really all I've heard about it.

I got these the stuff the last 2wks.... =)

Last night on my quest to find lavender or lilac lip gloss (which I did not find) I ended up with:

Flower Cosmetics Lip Butter in Sheer Snapdragon - I totally got this because I like snap dragons, it was very much an impulse purchase other than my wanting to try "something" from the Flower line. Turns out it is actually a nice orange-tone subtle red on me which happens to be a color I do not have.

And then I found something called geoGirl on clearance for $1 each. I got a light purple pressed eye shadow, a similar shade in cream to powder shadow, and then some dark grey mascara. I had not heard of this brand before, but each product mentioned some natural ingredients and apparently they are free of parabens, phthalate, sulfate, PABA, and a bunch of other things. They also do not use any animal ingredients aside from cruelty free lanolin, beeswax, and honey. Too bad they are discontinuing them.

I've bought a ton of makeup the past few days, but this is what I bought today!

-The Revlon total Beauty Collection

-4 Perfumies perfume sticks in Sex on the Peach, Boys Boys Boys, Butterfly Kisses, and Pajama Party

-Macadamia Oil Sampler Kit

I'm kinda stocking up on little things because I know I'll be using some of this stuff as a birthday present for my sister.

Awesome deal, then again, it's elf, it's always cheap, but SO worth it!

I'd never heard that. I want High Beam but that high price keeps me away. I think I might pick up Lilac Petal now!

Same here, that's why I ordered it.  I have 2 High Beam minis, but I don't think I'd pay $30 for it (yet).  I had no problem paying $30 for Benetint and Posietint, but not for a highlighter - I haven't reached that stage of addiction yet.

 

[hiheather]

I want Posietint but refuse to buy it. I browse eBay for the deluxe sample sizes and even the price tag on them are to high for my liking.

The small sample should last you about a month of daily use.  I think Benefit sells the deluxe sample on their site.  I know they sell a deluxe sample of Benetint for $8.  $30 is a bit steep if you're not super into lip stains and/or love the product though.

Just bought 2 of the Summer 2013 limited edition of the maybelline color tattoos. I got icy mint and shady shores (gold color).
