Finally! ELF Studio Contour brush- a small crease brush on the cheap

I have been casually searching for an inexpensive, small, preferably "pencil" type of crease brush for what seems to have been the longest time.  I know Sigma has one along with Coastal Scents and other various online retailers, but it's hard to know exactly what they look like from a computer screen.  This is why I was really hoping to find one in person so I could see what I was getting (and I have a hard time convincing myself to buy stuff online... a story for another day!).  Well, it is like pretty darn difficult to find a large variety of brushes in stores that aren't as expensive as MAC.  EcoTools is great, love them, but they don't have all the different types of brushes that I want.  Sonia Kashuk has a crease brush that I own (it's pictured below), but it's not what I'm looking for.  When I was shopping at Target a couple weeks ago, I stumbled across the ELF Studio Contour brush that has been patiently waiting in my online shopping cart for me to place an order.  This is new, guys!  And I was so excited to see it because I've been wanting to try it for the longest time, but was hesitant to order online.  Long story short, I grabbed it right away.
Here are my thoughts on it!

(Left to right: ELF Studio Contour brush, ELF Eye Definer brush, Sonia Kashuk Crease brush)

From what I've used of it so far, this is the best crease brush I've been able to find and for the lowest price.  It's $3, and I was able to find it at Target, so I saved myself the cost of shipping, yes!  

Its small size makes it perfect for precise crease work and that "outer v" area of the eyelid.  For comparison, I pictured it next to the ELF $1 Eye Definer brush and the Sonia Kashuk Crease brush.  The Sonia Kashuk brush isn't a favorite of mine because of its roundness and larger size- it's almost too big for my crease.  The Studio Contour brush is small enough so it places color exactly where I want it.  It's also a little more pointed than the SK, which is really rounded.  

In an ideal world, I'd have the Contour brush pointed like the MAC 219, but that's probably asking too much for $3! The 219 has been on my wishlist this past year for its precision and ability to apply color to the lower lashline.  The ELF Contour brush is too rounded for the lower lashline, but it's still perfect for those of us with smaller creases or more deep-set eyes who just don't like doing too much in the crease (like me!).  

The synthetic bristles are firm and dense, which allows for more control.  They also pick up color well- I like to kind of "roll" the brush into my eyeshadows.  I find this picks up color the best way.  

I've also given it one quick wash, and no bristles came out.  

If you've been looking for a nice, quality crease brush that's inexpensive, definitely take a look at your Target for this one!  I'm really impressed so far. 

Have you tried this ELF brush?  I'd love to hear your thoughts! 

EOTD: Purple sunset

Purple used to be my ultimate favorite color to wear on my eyes.  I had it in my head that it was the only color that really made my green eyes pop, so I wore it in the form of eyeshadow or eyeliner any chance I had.  Lately, things have changed a little and I wear more neutrals (or muted olive/bronze shades) to bring out my eye color.  Makeup aside, purple is still my favorite color, so I'm naturally going to be drawn to it.  Today I decided to do a little more "involved" look (my makeup has been so boring the last week!) since I had some extra time to get ready, and I love how the colors came together.  They kind of remind me of a sunset, except using all purple. ;)

First time on a film shoot! (Picture heavy)

I briefly explained a little about the student film shoot I did makeup/costume/hair for last weekend in my previous post, but I thought it would be fun to make a separate post of the pictures I took during it.  I wasn't able to get many great shots of the makeup unfortunately (the girl I worked with had an amazing Nikon that blew my camera out of the water! haha.  And I couldn't get the lighting quite right).  I did, however, manage to take pictures of the crew doing their jobs behind the scenes!  This post will be a little non-makeup-related, but I hope it's at least a little interesting for you. :)

The set-up for filming is a long process.  It took at least two hours for us to be completely ready every day.  The lighting was really impressive- you can pretty much make any effect with the right type of light.

This is the actress that played the mom; she has really curly, thick, deep red hair that we straightened.  In this scene, they used lighting effects to make it look like candles were flickering in her face.

The lighting guys set up a nice spotlight in our "makeup room" for the scenes we shot at the house.  It was really nice and felt professional.  My best friend (sitting; she was also the main actress) said she felt like a movie star, haha. 

We had to make this guy look like a stoner!  He's pretty clean cut normally, so we used purple/mauve/nude cream eyeshadows and powder to make dark undereye circles.  Unfortunately I didn't get any good pictures of his makeup, but the girl I worked with did an amazing job.  This was his hair that we dyed.  We added hair gel to make it look greasy.

We had to make a head wound, so we mixed corn syrup with water and added red food dye.  We made two containers of it, one a thicker consistency and one thinner.  The thicker one we used at the base of the "injury", and then rolled bits of cotton (from q-tips) into it to make the "flesh".  The thinner "blood" was used around the outside of the "wound", and then rolled onto the outer parts of his hair.  I think it turned out pretty good!

This was the only makeup picture I took that really turned out.  I didn't have a lot of time to take pictures after I finished makeup, unfortunately.  

I hope I was able to share at least a little of the excitement of working on this set with you all!  Thanks for reading.  Expect lots of reviews to come- I'm currently testing out several different things!

Lightest of the light coverage=ELF Studio Tinted Moisturizer

Hey everyone!  The last couple of weeks have been really busy on my end, so I really, really apologize for the lack of posting.  Last weekend I had my first experience doing makeup/hair/costume design on a movie set- it was amazing!  Tiring, but worth it.  It was a senior film major's final film project, a guy who's a friend of my best friend (he produced the movie and asked me to work on it).  The girl I worked with is extremely talented with hair- she taught me how to "professionally" dye hair, along with other tips/tricks.  We also gave one of the actors a bloody gash on the back of his head with fake blood/q-tip cotton swaps.  I got very little sleep over the three days we shot the film (it's only 15-minutes in length), but I'm happy to have had the experience and hopefully will do it again!  

Anyway, that's a little of what has been keeping me busy.  My mom also came to visit me this week (it was my spring break), so that was a nice "break" from the craziness that has been my life as of lately!

I have quite a few things lined up for review actually- right now it's a matter of finding the time to take proper pictures and type up my thoughts.  I picked up this ELF Studio tinted moisturizer at Target a few weeks ago (I was so surprised to find it there, along with several other new Studio line products!) and have been using it on and off ever since.  

ELF Studio Tinted Moisturizer in Porcelain

From ELF's website, "This lightweight and hydrating formula is breathable and provides anti-aging sun protection with UVA/UVB SPF 20. Achieve even skin tone and naturally radiant skin with this moisturizing sheer tint of color. The smooth formula enhances your complexion with the nourishing key ingredients Aloe, Cucumber and Vitamins A, C & E."

Price: $3.00/0.7oz

Packaging:  This comes in a squeeze tube, which is my preferred style of packaging when it comes to face makeup.  I find it travels easily, it's fairly compact, there's no worry about it spilling/cracking open, and you can control how much you dispense.  No hair-trigger pumps or glass jars to fumble around with.  In the reviews I've read about this TM online, a lot of people complained about the packaging looking half-empty from the strip on the front that shows the color.  Some also said it feels like there's hardly any product inside.  The tube I picked out at Target looked full from the color strip, and it's such a lightweight formula that the tube probably isn't going to feel heavy (even if it's filled completely).

Color:  There are a total of 7 shades; I chose the lightest shade, Porcelain, which I just noticed is for "very fair skin skintones with yellow undertones."  Online in my shopping cart I had picked the next darkest shade, Nude, but I'm glad I ended up purchasing it in Porcelain!  Although I consider my skintone to be a little darker than "porcelain" (I'm about a NW20/25 in MAC depending on the season), this shade didn't seem too light to me from the color on the tube.  Nude definitely looked too dark.  As you can see from the swatches below, it has a lot of yellow in it- too much for my liking.  Fortunately the coverage is so light that it's forgiving, otherwise this would be a bigger problem (I also have some redness in my face that I like to cover, so the yellow-ness helps cancel it out).

Texture:  The consistency is a mixture between a liquid and a kind of mousse, if that makes any sense at all!  It's really lightweight and feels moisturizing on my skin.  It's almost on the runny side, but to me that just helps make it easier to blend in.  I actually like the texture of this, especially having dry/sensitive skin.  It's a contrast from the $1 ELF tinted moisturizer, that is creamier (rather than like a liquid) and thicker. 

Coverage/finish:  Being a tinted moisturizer, you can't expect the coverage of a foundation.  This is probably my most common mistake when trying them out; I want some coverage, just not the feeling of a foundation.  This doesn't really cover anything in terms of spots, pimples, or discoloration.  It cancels out a little of the redness in my cheeks (which I think is mainly due to the yellow undertones), but that's about it.  And because my skin is currently really, really bad due to stress and lack of sleep, I need something that will actually cover breakouts.  Until my skin clears up, I could see using this as a base for my Bare Minerals mineral powder foundation.  Otherwise, you may like this if you have good skin to begin with and just want something to use as a base for the rest of your makeup.
As far as the finish, it's dewy and moisturizing.  I find it looks more "finished" topped with a powder, which is what I do most days anyway.

Pros:
-Affordable
-Lightweight texture
-Feels moisturizing
-SPF 20

Cons:  
-Very little coverage
-Hard to find an exact color match


My pros outweigh the cons above, but I really don't like this.  Maybe when my skin clears up I'll get more use out of it, but right now I'd rather just not wear anything in terms of face makeup.  The coverage is so light that I can hardly tell the difference.  That is specifically because of the state of my skin, though, so I think it's still worth a try if your skin isn't in need of much help.

Have you tried this?  I'm also interested in the ELF Studio Flawless Finish foundation, but it's been out of stock for forever!  I want to place an order but about half of what I want isn't stocked.  So frustrating.
Thanks for reading, like always! :)

NOTD: Sephora by OPI Havana Dreams

Today's NOTD is brought to you in part by my roommate!  She loves OPI, and the other night when we were at Sephora she picked up Metro Chic and this little gem, Havana Dreams.  Remember when it was first released in the 'Havana Nights' collection last summer?  I loved it then, but didn't have a Sephora within range of me and I was pretty bummed thinking it was limited edition.  With all the hype surrounding light blue nail polish since then, my craving has been somewhat satisfied- I purchased Hard Candy Sky back in January when I had a Walmart nearby.  I left it at home on accident when I came back from break, though, and light blue is such a cute color for spring!  Sky is definitely different from Havana Dreams in that it is lighter and has the slightest bit of shimmer, but I wouldn't have known had my roommate not purchased the OPI.  So thanks girl, and for letting me borrow this color.  ;)  (She doesn't even read my blog, haha; I'm not sure why I'm addressing her.)

Havana Dreams is a pretty sky blue creme.  Like I said above, compared to Hard Candy Sky it is a little deeper in color and a creme rather than shimmer.  This manicure was done using three coats, although it would have been fine with two (For me anyway).  I've never tried Sephora by OPI polishes before, but the consistency of this one reminds me slightly of Revlon's- on the thinner side but not problematic.  I'm guessing it depends on the color for how opaque it will be, like most polishes, and I wasn't surprised that this sky blue took three coats.  

Do any of you own this polish, or any other popular sky blues like it?  What about Sephora by OPI?  

My February favorites

I seriously cannot believe it's March already.  Wasn't it just Christmas?  I was talking to my mom on the phone the other day, and she made a comment about me having only about two more months of school left (I was venting, lol), and I'm still wondering where the time has gone!  It's crazy.

OK, so tell me if this rings a bell with any of you.  Some months I feel like I really experiment and use a wide variety of products in my collection, and some months I gravitate towards a select few.  February was like the last kind- the following were basically the only items I kept in my everyday makeup bag and I didn't really "branch out" from them.  

MAC Too Chic beauty powder- This is from the Stylishly Yours collection- I used it a little right after purchasing, but then I really fell out of my love affair of highlighters.  Well, it's come back in full force!  I love that this gives my cheeks more of a sheen rather than a glittery/shimmery highlight (I don't prefer shimmery cheeks on myself, unless it's a special occasion).  

Jane blush in Blushing Earth Sheer- This fell to the bottom of my blush drawer, but my recent preoccupation with peach blushes has made me look at it again.  It's shimmery, but on the high points of my cheeks it's really flattering and natural. 

ELF Essentials Tinted Moisturizer in light beige- This is depotted because the squeeze tube mine came in started leaking.  I haven't tried many tinted moisturizers, but I love this one for its price and coverage.  It's $1, and it has enough pigmentation to cover minor spots and redness.  Topped with powder, it's easy and quick.

Wet n Wild Comfort Zone eyeshadow palette- Do I need to explain my love for this more?  See my posts here and here (the second link for my EOTDs with it) to read why I used this probably every other day since I bought it.

Urban Decay Primer Potion in Sin- This is the perfect eyeshadow primer to enhance eyeshadows and make them shimmery.  It has the same lasting power as the original version (for me), but the champagne color makes my eyeshadows to another level.  Love it especially for nights out or special occasions.

MAC Impeccable Brow Pencil in Taupe- Sorry my picture makes this and the eyeliner below it look so dark!  That's my fault- and my poor photography skills.  My roommate, a photo major, would be shaking her head at me for this!  Anyway, I'm not too experienced with brow products, but this is one of those universally-flattering colors that looks natural.  The pencil form makes it easy to apply and control.  You'll see in the swatch below that it's not really pigmented, making it hard to overdo.

Victoria's Secret eyeliner in Dark Brown- This eyeliner, like the other one I own in Dark Forest, is beautiful, long-lasting, easy to apply, and comes with a smudge tip that helps with that "winged" look.  For $10, I think this would seriously rival some of the high-end long-lasting eyeliners in stores right now.

That's it for my February favorites!  Any of these that you've been loving, too?  I'd love to know! :)

I have ELF to thank for my current favorite blush combination!

I have a love/hate relationship with blush.  Sometimes I absolutely love it and can't get enough of it, and other times I think it makes my face look overdone; it really depends on the day and how the rest of my makeup turns out.  The last few weeks I've been reacquainting myself with my blush collection and wearing it almost every day.
The idea of layering or mixing blushes is totally new to me, though.  I hear about other girls doing it all the time, but it's something I've never tried for one reason or another.  Well, I ended up layering a couple today and I'm loving the way it turned out!  I can already see myself wearing this combination a lot more in the near future.
The two I'm talking about are ELF's Studio blush in Pink Passion, and the blush side of ELF's Studio Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder:

Left to right: Pink Passion, Contouring blush, and both mixed together

Since Pink Passion is matte and the contouring blush is a sparkly peachy-pink, the textures layer really nicely.  The result is a glow-y, soft yet vibrant peach with enough pink so it doesn't run orange on me.  I love the brightness it gets from Pink Passion, and it's subdued enough for daytime looks. 

Kind of a strange combination when you look at both of them individually, but I think they mix really nicely!

Do you have any favorite blush combinations?  

EOTD: Shimmery bronze/purple

I have yet another EOTD for you all today!  I'm having a fun time experimenting with my everyday looks, trying to make them interesting yet still wearable.  This is my favorite kind of eye to create because you can take it anywhere (Although I do need to branch out and try different things with my looks, so I have a variety on my blog)!  Today, I played around with some eyeshadows I haven't used in awhile, which was fun.  I've been getting so much wear out of my newer ones (Hello Wet n Wild Comfort Zone?) so it was nice to give some attention to the products that have gotten lost in my collection.
I'm so glad I have my blog right now.  I haven't had a lot of time to hang out with people, and because of that it's been great to still have some kind of outlet!
Anyway, onto the EOTD. :)

-Victoria's Secret Pro eyeshadow primer

-Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush chubby eyeshadow stick in Glampagne as base and along lower lash line

-shimmery cream eyeshadow as inner corner highlight (I used the browbone shade from my Wet n Wild Sweet As Candy trio palette)

-ELF mineral eyeshadow in Trendy all over lid (shimmery pinkish bronze)

-Maybelline eyeshadow in Amethyst above crease

-shimmery brown eyeshadow in outer corner and outer lower lash line (I used the crease shade from the Sweet As Candy palette)

-Annabelle Kohl eyeliner in Black

-Physicians Formula Organic Wear mascara in Black Organics

Hope you guys are having a great Monday!  And again, thanks for the continued support and amazingly kind comments.  I appreciate them so much!

Two EOTDs and what I've been up to (outside of makeup!)

....And the neutral eye looks continue!  As most of you probably can tell, I rarely do vibrant/dramatic looks.  The last several EOTDs I've posted here have been exceptionally neutral because I've just been taking pictures of my everyday looks.  My goal has been to post more EOTDs on my blog, so this is the easiest way I can do that (I don't have the time anymore to experiment like I used to).  I still think you can have a lot of variety and fun with neutrals, though.  I hope you can see that a little in my EOTDs this week!

What are you guys up to this weekend?  Today I'm hanging out with my boyfriend until his concert tonight.  He's practicing his upright bass right next to me as we speak ;).  I'll go back home later tonight, and then tomorrow is my homework day.  I gave myself a much-needed 'break' from homework the last few days (the only time I've been able to afford it!), but now it's time to get back into gear.  Yay... haha.

Anyway, I'll stop talking and get to my EOTDs.

The last few weeks I've made small mentions of how busy my schedule is, AKA my excuses for not being able to blog as much.  Well, I just finished my first big project for my fundamentals of fashion design class, which was taking up the majority of my physical and emotional energy.  My workload is more stressful and involved than anything I've ever done before (and I want to scream half the time- the other night I had a minor mental breakdown, but it's better now!), but it's also incredibly exciting.  This got me thinking that it might be fun to share with you guys a little of what I've been up to in my classes.  

First up, this is the project for my fundamentals of fashion design class I mentioned above.  The idea behind it was to reflect the four elements of fashion design- color, line, texture, and shape. 

(I took these before I finished, so I don't have the fourth board pictured, whoops!)

This next picture is what I'm working on for my garment construction class- we're making shorts!  These are just two darts we're going to be using in the shorts (I'm actually farther on making them now, I just forgot to snap pictures.  Maybe when I'm done I'll post about them, if they turn out haha).  It's really an awesome learning experience- I actually feel like I'm learning as opposed to sitting at a desk and taking notes and forgetting everything later.  I mean... that doesn't ever happen. ;)

Thanks for allowing me to share these with you guys! 

Hope you all have a great weekend.  <3

The 'hit' list- My least favorite/used brushes

Following my post about my favorite makeup brushes, today I'm going to share with you the ones I rarely reach for.  I love reading review posts about makeup brushes- especially those that are affordable that I might actually be inclined to buy or not buy.  Testing products in person is something I feel is really important, but with makeup brushes it's a different story.  Unless you're looking at MAC or another higher-end brand, it's hard to find affordable, quality brushes at brick-and-mortar operations (with a few exceptions, like Sonia Kashuk and EcoTools, to name a few!).  Anyway, these either didn't fit my specific need or I just plain don't think they're worth the money.

Left to right: High Definition duo-fiber brush (Walmart), ELF Studio powder brush, Sonia Kashuk crease brush, EcoTools angled eyeliner brush, MAC 252

High-Definition duo-fiber brush- I got this brush from Walmart last summer, for somewhere around $10 I believe.  I have a few problems with it.  One, it smells terrible every time I wash it (and it was RANCID after the first wash).  Two, the handle is pretty bulky and takes up a lot of room in storage.  Three, it takes forever to stipple in cream products and I don't really like using it to apply highlighters (I can't see them on the bristles so I don't know how much I'm using).  It's not that it's a terrible brush- it's the only duo-fiber stippling brush I've ever owned, so I'm glad I have it to see how it works- it just isn't high quality and for me, it probably wasn't worth buying.

ELF Studio powder brush- The biggest problem I have with this brush is that the ferrule is coming loose from the handle.  To me, that just screams bad quality (although I think mine might have just been defective).  This was also in my favorites post because I do like how it performs, especially for $3.  It's great for stippling in cream products.  The other thing I don't really like about it is that every time I move the bristles, they stay to one side, if that makes sense.  They don't go back into place.  Very minor, but still something to note.

Sonia Kashuk crease brush- I purchased this hoping it could work as a pencil brush, because when I started using it it had more of a pointed tip.  After several uses, though, it became really rounded and it's now too large for getting into the small part of my crease.  The bristles aren't very soft, either- I don't know if I'd say they're harsh (and that could be something you'd fix by washing them with some olive oil or baby shampoo), but I don't like using the brush for this reason.  I only use it if I really need to do a lot of crease color, although I'm looking around for a smaller/pointier brush.

EcoTools angled eyeliner brush- This is the only specific eyeliner brush I own, and I use it with gel liners and powder eyeshadows as liner (or eyeshadow on my lower lash line).  I just recently realized it's part of the reason I can't make perfect "wings" with my gel liners.  I think the brush is a little too thick, making it difficult to get very precise.  I'm in the market for something smaller in width and thickness.  This one does work alright for applying eyeshadow on top of eyeliner to set, or for achieving that "smoked-out" eyeliner look with eyeshadows.  I do this quite a bit as I don't usually like very precise lines.

MAC 252- This brush isn't bad in quality at all, it just doesn't suit all my needs.  It's great for an allover wash of color blended up into the crease, but anything more precise is a bit tricky.  This is the reason I end up grabbing my ELF $1 eyeshadow brush over the 252 on most days, because it's smaller.  I think if you have bigger eyes and more lid space, this would work just fine as an eyeshadow brush (it is what the MAC associate recommended to me for an eyeshadow brush when I got my makeup done at 13!).  

Any of these that you don't have problems with?  I'd love to hear!

(PS- happy weekend!  I'm going to spend it with my boyfriend, starting tomorrow through Sunday- who I can only see on the weekend due to distance- and I can't wait!  I find myself constantly counting down the days until Friday, when either I go to his town or he comes here.  Tomorrow morning I'm doing the makeup for my friend's film, and then going to the sewing lab at school to finish up my darts for a project.  So much homework, so little time!  How have you guys been?)

Neutral EOTDs featuring Comfort Zone

So, Tuesday night my Macbook decided to give me problems- it wouldn't start up.  I tried going through the troubleshooting options on the Apple Support website but nothing worked.  Half of yesterday was spent calling Apple Support and then in the Apple store downtown, and finally the guys figured out it was my screen backlight that blew out.  Thankfully everything on my hard drive was fine but I still had to either pay $400 to fix it, or just get a new one.  I decided to get a new one- I had been moaning and groaning about the state of my Macbook for the last six months (I dropped it twice off my bed so the CD drive was dysfunctional, and the exterior was wearing off in several places), so this was the perfect excuse. ;)  Anyway, I was without a computer for a couple days but now I'm happily typing away on my new Macbook!  I've done pretty well lately with not spending money, so although I'll still have to scrimp and save for awhile, I think it's worth it.

Now that I have a computer to blog on again, I wanted to post up these EOTDs I've done using the new Wet n Wild Comfort Zone palette.  This is seriously my new favorite, guys.  The colors go beautifully together (and really make my green eyes pop!), and there are many different options with the 8 pans.  I knew I would probably love this one, but I didn't realize how much until I used it myself!  I also used the my two Victoria's Secret eyeliners and same mascara for all of these, as noted below the pictures.

Comfort Zone palette for reference:

-Browbone olive/taupe shade all over lid and into crease

-Browbone shimmery cream shade for highlight and inner corners

-Definer duochrome reddish brown/green shade in outer crease

-Crease deep shimmery olive shade smudged on top of eyeliner along upper lash line and outer lower lash line

-Eyelid grassy green shade on lower lash line

-Victoria's Secret eyeliner in Dark Forest 

-L'Oreal Extra Volume Collagen mascara in Black

All eyeshadows in look two are from the left side of the palette

-Eyelid shimmery copper shade all over lid and along lower lash line

-Browbone shimmery cream shade as highlight and inner corner

-Crease medium brown shade in crease and on lower lash line

-Definer dark shimmery brown shade on top of eyeliner on upper lash line to smudge

-Victoria's Secret eyeliner in Dark Brown 

-L'Oreal Extra Volume Collagen mascara in Black

-Browbone olive/taupe shade on inner half of lid and into crease

-Browbone shimmery cream shade as highlight and inner corner

-Eyelid grassy green shade on outer half of lid

-Crease deep shimmery olive shade in crease and lower lash line

-Definer duochrome reddish brown/green shade in outer corner and lower lash line

-Victoria's Secret eyeliner in Dark Brown

-L'Oreal Extra Volume Collagen mascara in Black

I love how you can do a smoky, nighttime eye AND a neutral, daytime eye- and different variations of each!  If you're a lover of wearable neutrals, I definitely recommend this palette.

Thanks for reading!
