Beauty Products Galore: what do you have too much of?



I've been participating in several beauty box subscriptions for about a year now and at times I've been up to my eyeballs in sample beauty products!  Which ones do I subscribe to?  It seems just about all of them and they are all a little different and provide a variety of beauty samples.  My biggest gripe in the surprise of a monthly beauty box is that I'm not sure any of the samples are "specially curated just for me" which is fine because most of them do a great job at providing sample products that I have really enjoyed.  Others make me believe that I'm going to receive a great box then I feel like I end up with the leftovers.  I know this by reading the posts of bloggers who

Your New Little Helper: ELF (eyes, lips, face).

Quality, affordable, translucent powder: you're going to love this!

If you are like me and already spent a fortune or two on make-up then I have a great tip for you:  I recently stumbled upon a remarkable, AFFORDABLE product I found at a department store: ELF which stands for Eyes, Lips, and Face.  They have a loose translucent powder that will give the high end cosmetic companies a true run for the money and they have a huge assortment of affordable cosmetics and brushes. 

Personally,  I will never pay more than $6.00 ever again for a large (8 grams-which is HUGE for loose powder), silky, shine controlling translucent powder!  Yes it is a bit messy (they all are) but the large container allows more control over the contents.  You try getting a larger powder brush in an opening the size of a quarter.  This powder is far superior to the more expensive brands and if you need convincing just try to tell the difference between whatever you're using now and this incredible high definition powder.   If you've never heard of this company (your teenager has I bet) then here's a link to their site which indicates this powder also comes in yellow corrector and a light beige shimmer! http://www.eyeslipsface.com/studio/face/powder/high_definition_powder  



It is sleek, a little bulky for your purse and may not fit in your cosmetic bag but the sifter is large enough to contain any over-powder spillage that occurs in the jar.  I like to put loose powder in a smaller, round container that fits in my purse.

You must try this and for $6.00? Hello? You cannot go wrong with the price even if you hate it. Check it out and let me know what you think!
