Makeup - Have You Checked for e.l.f. in Your Target?

brandiitneka wrote:Maybe I am late but.... I hit the jackpot in Target last night!I have not been in a while, I went looking for a Sonia Kusack blush brush, they were out (as usuall) So I went tothe next isle and BAM!! There it was, the E.L.F rack. I picked up just about every product they had. I knew they sold their products, but now they have a whole section. The only thing that I did not get was the little eyeshadows with the customizable quad pallet and the tinted moisturizer. I plan on going to pick those up today.

jlow- you are right, we dont have spring here, at all!

my target just expanded to a whole e.l.f section too..let me find out e.l.f. is on the major rise.

Are the brushes any good though? How's shedding and color pick up/application etc?

i noticed that the E.l.f. section at target is getting larger. as for brushed the only one I've purched that is elf is a concealer brush and the bristles were kinda hard. so I use my finger to apply concealer.

My ELF section is still limited to an end cap. Sucks! I really want to try the studio blushes. I've heard a few are budget friendly dupes for some NARS blushes.

@pretty_vee: Im a fan of the powder (studio), blush (studio), eyeshadow and blending brush. I found the others to be hard and shed quite a bit.

I will never purchase a Fluid Line from MAC online ever again! Those two fluidlines caused my package to have to be shipped Parcel Post and now my order is going to take 12-15 days to get here! I am TOO impatient for that carrying on. Argh!

Y'all would have been proud! The ladies represented

I took Meca to the MAC store and had her face done. I got her a personalized palette. We both got tinted moisturizer...love it! I also got two paint pots, and two shadows and after thinking I know have two Arena shadows! Lol! But OMG the lady did a fabulous job! My BFF looked beautiful! Here is our latest pic together

I had a fab! Weekend..now gotta pack up and get on the train!

@Chrs love the look and the colors used. I like jangsara's blog also because the combinations she comes up with are unique.

@Sweet you and your bff are looking good. Which paintpots did you get?

Chrs- Looks so pretty- Girl- you are doing the dang on THANG!!
Sweet- yall look so pretty! I am so glad yall had a wonderful time!
ELF - i love the studio brushes. I haven't noticed any shedding with it at all. The regular blush brush, I have noticed shedding with it.

Thank you ladies! I love her!

KC I got quite naturally and constructivist

I use the c shadow ($3) and coffee eye liner/cream shadow stick by elf on a regular basis. I didn't care for the dollar brushes. They're too flimsy but I guess that's why their a dollar.

On another note, maybe I'm late but I went to 3 cvs stores to find the milani baked shadows. I was only able to find 4 and here are the swatches applied wet from left to right: I heart you, medley, blue my mind and rich java.

Medley is a dupe for UD oil slick and rich java is a dupe for UD twice baked.

I cannot find the Milani Blue my mind shadow in my area. I keep looking in Walgreens but I guess I will check out CVS. I'm always looking at I heart you because I want a red shadow but haven't picked it up yet. Since I keep staring at it I know I will probably eventually end up getting it (lol).

i look like a giant standing next to yall! LOL! It was great meeting you ladies!

@sweet: You and the BFF look great. I see you are going MAC crazy like me! lol

@kelle: Im not a huge fan of the $1 brushes either, they did their job for the time being but Im much happier with my Sigma brushes! Those Milani colors are beautiful!

@kc: I've been eyeing Blue My Mind as well (especially since watching coulouredbeautiful's vid), that color is GORGEOUS!

Very nice I agree.

@Chrs...have you ever thought about doing tutorial videos? You really create and re-create well!!

@Sweet....I couldn't sleep until I saw you FB pictures. Everyone was just beautiful, and y'all look like you had a great time. Love the pictures of you and your BFF. Her hair is beautiful!! Does she henna or is that color?

@PrettyVee....Did you see that picture of yourself that Sweet was taking about? You looked simply beautiful!! Just beautiful!!!

@KC...thanks for the make-up video. When I get some down time I'm going to try and re-create that look. I don't have the MAC colors but I have at least 4 color palettes and I'm going to try it.

@Kelleemudiva - those are very pretty colors. So you applied those wet..interesting. Girl I'm just trying the hang of putting on shadow dry!!!


Okay....y'all just wanted to share a link with you that I got from eyecandyzz's YT channel. I love her channel by the way. I like NYX shadows and she did a review on some of NYX's products that were sent to her from the site below..........


PorkDaisy.com

You can get NYX products here for cheap. Now it is cheaper than Ulta but I can find these at the BSS for almost the same price, but the difference is they have ALL of NYX products!!

I ordered their Nude on Nude Palette which contains about 24 colors. I swear I'm not buying anymore make-up after this month!!

They are having a 10% off sale on their already low price. Just thought I would share!!

SN: I cleaned out ELF's Fairy Hypershine Gloss and I got bubble gum too. That gloss is the bomb!!! Note to self: I've got to stay out of Target....

Thanks ladies! & thanks for sharing the link KNH, I want to get some more of the NYX glosses. I love the formula, not sticky at all.

Jlow...my computer is acting up at work...but you know you don't look sick at all!!! I really like the colors you used (forgot to add this in my post)

Yeah...I like the gloss to. I bought so many of the hypershine gloss because they have a little flavor, and I find myself licking it off thoughout the day!!! LOL I know that crazy!!! lol
