Mini e.l.f. Haul!!

Hi everyone! 

Today I have a mini e.l.f. (Eyes Lips Face) haul for you! e.l.f. recently came out with their new Mineral Pressed Mineral Bronzers and I was dying to try it, sooo I threw a few more items in my online shopping cart while I was there! :)

First up is the e.l.f. Studio Blush Palette in Light. I have been wanting to order this for a while now so I jumped on the chance! It was out of stock online pretty much as soon as it was released earlier this year. I already have the Dark palette that I wore mostly during the winter and early spring months and I love it! I wish I would have been able to get my hands on this one earlier in the summer months because the colors are so bright and fun! Three of the shades are totally matte and the fourth has a bit of shimmery glitter in it! They are have great pigmentation to them of go apply really smoothly! 

I went a little blush crazy and also picked up a few of the Mineral Pressed Mineral Blushes. I have been hearing so many great things about these from various beauty gurus on YouTube, and couldn't wait to check them out for myself! The colors I chose (from left to right and swatches underneath) are: Cabo Cabana, Jet Setter, and Wanderlust. I chose these colors because I thought they would great for transitioning from Summer to Fall. I'm obsessed with Jet Setter, it is my absolute favorite and so so pretty! I'm excited to keep messing around with these!

I was so excited to get the new Mineral Pressed Mineral Bronzer! I chose the color Tan Toffee and I have already used it a few times this past week! I LOVE this bronzer! It is totally matte and gives your skin a warm glow without adding and shimmer or sparkle! Its a great contour shade as well! I think I'm going to have to pick up a few more shades to try a deeper contour with! I think e.l.f. did really well with the formula for this! My only complaint for these bronzers would be the size. I wish the pan was a bit bigger. Especially for $5, get with it, e.l.f.!

I was also really excited to try the Studio Long-Lasting Lustrous Eyeshadows! I ordered two of these, Toast and Gala, and I'm not entirely sure about them yet. They are sort of a a weird texture, and something about it reminds me of a sponge. They are creamy, but not like a smudge pot and have a "foiled" look to them on the eyes. I tried both shades out this weekend and found them a bit difficult to blend and get them where I wanted them to go. I'm going to have to keep playing with these to really see if they are any good. As of now... ehh I'm on the fence!

I also ordered a few eye brushes! I LOVE e.l.f. brushes! They are SO affordable at $1-$3, super soft, and really do a great job! Whenever I place an order I can't help but repurchase some of my favorites! I can never have too many brushes (especially because I'm lazy and never feel like washing them). I ordered a Blending Eye Brush, an Eye Crease Brush, a Smudge Eye Sponge (which I love for eyeliner), and an Eye Contour Brush.

So far, I love most of the items I ordered! It's so fun using new products and seeing what ways they work best! E.l.f. is one of my favorite brands because they really do have some great quality products at SUPER affordable prices! I love that you can try something new without a huge, high end price tag attached to it!
Do you have any favorites from e.l.f.? Let me know either in the comments below or on my Facebook page (Facebook.com/bakingandbeautydepartment).

Thanks so much for reading!!
