Affordable Drugstore Makeup Tutorial using ELF 144 eyeshadow palette

Here's an easy makeup tutorial using one of my newest and most affordable palettes! The E.L.F. 144 eyeshadow palette. I got this for $10 at target during the black friday sales. So far, I think the quality is OK. Not all the colors are as pigment as the ones I used for this look. Let me know if you wanna see more looks using this palette :)

Everything I used

$5 E.L.F. Palette - Mermaid of the Deep Sea

I'm shooting for a look that can be worn on New Years Eve, without breaking the bank. What came to mind? The E.L.F $5 palette! Its so inexpensive, if you see it, get it! I bought mine at Target last month. I used all drugstore products for this look, except for my lipgloss. Sorry gals, I felt the NARS turkish delight was the cherry on top for the look. hehe. Anyhooo, enjoy!

What I used...

ELF gel eyeliner

ELF endless eyes pro mini eyeshadow palette 

ELF liquid eye liner

REVLON Matte "pink pout" lipstick

NARS "turkish delight" lipgloss

MAYBELLINE dream smooth mousse foundation in "pure beige"

NYX bronzer in "bronze ensemble"

Eyes Lips Face Stocking Stuffers

I don't know what it is, but I'm totally in the E.L.F phase! I just purchased some e.l.f. online twice this past month. Then I saw these gift sets at Target. I couldn't pass up a great deal, and I wanted to share it with all of you! I bought the 32 eyeshadow palette for $5, the three nail polish set for $3, and a liquid eyeliner for $1. Here are my thoughts. 

 pretty good selection of colors. Neutrals, smokey, and brights.

 Some colors came out sheer, while others were highly pigmented

Here are a few swatches. I used urban decay primer potion as a base

This is the $3 nail polish set. I could care less for the first two. The polish doesn't go on as glittery and shiny as it looks. However, the red nail polish in "cranberry" has just the right finish and a slight glimmer.

 

 Here is a quick look I put together using the palette. Watch the video below for the tutorial. 

For the rest of the face I used MAC blush in "breath of plum", Wet n Wild lipstick in "912C" and Bobbi Brown lip tint in "bare shimmer"

E.L.F. Open Box Review

I stumbled across the eyes lips face website the other day and was thrilled to see their 50% off all eye products promotion! I ordered seven products: an eyeshadow palette, brow tamer, brow pencil/highlighter, Pen liner, brow duo, eyeshadow primer, and cream liner.

The eyeshadow palette was on sale for $2.50. The Pen liner was on sale for .50 cents. The rest of the products were on sale for $1.50. There were a few products I could do without, but a few great finds I found for extremely great prices :)
