Anastasia Highlighting Brow Kit

Ah the eyebrows. Sometimes neglected, sometimes abused, sometimes nonexistent.
They are the frame to our eyes, they can either make a statement or make us feel like shaving them off!
Thankfully I was blessed with full eyebrows, then again I'm hairy all over and that's not always a good thing. Still, I cannot complain, my eyebrows have always been something I'm proud of.

So why am I reviewing an eyebrow product?
Well, nothing is ever perfect and there is always room for improvement. Being that I am a girl who always like to learn, I wanted to learn how to make my eyebrows a little bit more polished, hence why I bought this kit.

Anastasia has many, many products to enhance the look of your eyebrows, and although I am drooling over their Kit for Perfect Brows and Eyes, I cannot afford to dish out that amount of money for a product I've never tried.

Almay intense i-color collection (for brown eyes)

Drugstore makeup, what hidden treasures can we find?
Many I'd say, but sometimes we can also find ourselves in the hassle of trying to get a refund if you change your mind, or arguing with a cashier because she charged you the full price even though it was on sale.
I had that happen to me with this beautiful collection. Putting it on today was such a bittersweet moment, I'm always excited to try new things but the memory of the bad day I had while purchasing this kind of put a damper on my mood.
Regardless, what's done is done, so let's get to the good part.


What it is:
Almay has a collection called intense i-color for Brown, Blue, Green, and Hazel eyes. They have created eyeshadow trios that complement each type of eye color. They've also paired them up with eyeliners in different colors as well to make your eyes pop! Finish up with a little of the corresponding mascara and your eyes will truly shine!

Since I have Brown eyes, I of course picked the shades for brown eyes.

E.L.F. Haul/Review

You've all heard of E.L.F. right? No not the little guy that helps Santa on the holiday season!

I mean Eyes Lips Face cosmetics. It is this super affordable makeup brand that provides decent quality makeup for a steal!

Prices start at $1!

Now, just because it's cheap it doesn't mean it's no good. This brand has many cosmetics and tools that are actually a bargain and work pretty well.

There are things that aren't so well, but for a price like that I'm willing to take some risks.

So, for me to get some of these E.L.F. products I need to make a trip, and it's hard for me because I have a little one to take care of and I don't drive. So what's a girl to do?

Order online of course!

I signed up for E.L.F.'s newsletter and they're always sending me promotional codes and special events where you can get discounted shipping, or a certain % off your purchase. I've never taken advantage of these because none of them seem good enough.

Well, E.L.F. has reached it's 2 millionth order and to celebrate they were giving free shipping with any order over $10. I had to get in on that, so I decided to place an order.

So, I now present you my mini haul.

Please be aware that since this is a haul and review in one, I will not go into much detail about the products, I'll just provide the basics and we can discuss a specific product in the comments section if you want to know more ok?
