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"
