e.l.f. Cosmetics Haul #1 (Essential Edition)

Hey Loves!! I received my elf package yesterday and I'm super excited to make swatches of everything.  Everything that's a part of e.l.f's essential line is only $1.  YES, ONLY $1!!!!  I've tried a few of the essential products before and decided to try a few others.  Included in my e.l.f. haul are eyeshadow quads, lipsticks, lipgloss, waterproof eyeliner pens, shimmer pencils, and an all over color stick! S.N. kinda rushed and did these swatches, so they may be a little messy lol! I used the 10 free essentials coupon code and got a total of 30 items.  My total came to $26.95 including shipping.

Of course everyone who orders from e.l.f. must have their signature "free gift", the Drama quad.  These quads are very pigmented and come in beautiful combinations of different colors.  Paired with eyeshadow primer, these eyeshadow can last throughout the day and look great!

I read the reviews on the Essential Lipsticks and had to give them a try.  These lipsticks come in great colors and are very moisturizing and for only $1, they are worth a try.

I bought the All Over Color stick in toasted because I loved the Pink Lemonade color I have already.  Toasted can be used as a bronzer or blush depending on your skin tone.

I recently reviewed a blog that displayed swatches of the Shimmer Pencils and bought them in every color.  They are extremely pigmented and come with their own sharpener!!

Lipgloss was at the top of my list! The colors are so beautiful and they smell amazing!! I just couldn't pass these up!  The pictures on the website do them no justice because I was amazed when I opened my package.

Last, but not least, are the Waterproof Eyeliner Pens.  I bought two from target and fell in LOVE with them! If you have trouble applying liquid eyeliner, try eyeliner pens! They're less messy and easy to apply.
