New Hair + Beauty Haul

It's becoming a habit of mine to go to a coffee shop during my lunch breaks and doing homework. It kind of sets the atmosphere for me. And, that way a lot more is done which makes more time for relaxation at home. Speaking of relaxation, I will get none next week. Zip. Nada. They are making me work everyday next week. Which doesn't make me a very happy camper. Oh, well. More money in the pocket I suppose. Still doesn't make up for the fact that I'm going to be grumpy (I already am) and I'm exhausted just thinking about it.

In better news, I dyed my hair! Nothing too drastic. But, hey. It's black underneath. Black black. I love it. I used to have it like this in high school, and in order to curb my appetite for wanting a change (I was bound and determined to dye my whole head brown. I'm glad I didn't.) I did it again. I will have a picture soon. I just haven't gotten around to taking one that I actually like. I went to a new hair lady named Heather, who I really like! My old stylist told me to never dye my hair dark again because she's the one that did the bleaching process before my wedding, and it was torture for everyone involved. Sorry, Joan!

I have a little beauty haul for you guys. I have been wanting to try elf makeup forever now, and I finally got around to it. I used all the stuff I bought in order to give a review on each item. I also bought a Chi straightener. It's so cute, and it came with a little mini one! Plus, it was on sale, so I couldn't resist a good bargain. I've been itching for a new straightener anyway. I also went to Staples to pick up some supplies for a school project, and I saw this adorable notebook that I had to get. I have no idea what I'm going to use it for, but anyone who knows me knows how obsessed I am with notebooks. Among other random items. 

Tinted Moisturizer in Ivory ($3); I used this in replacement of my foundation today. And, I have to say I actually really like it. I was skeptical because of course it wasn't going to be as full coverage. It's light, so it feels great on my face, and doesn't look cakey.

Lip Exfoliator ($3); This stuff is amazing. It seriously made my lips so soft. It's a lot easier than caking on a sugar scrub on your lips with your finger. It's just like lip stick, except a sugar scrub stick pretty much. 

Moisturizing Lip Stick in Party in the Buff ($3); I am just now starting to play around with lip color. I don't know about this product quite yet. I had chapped lips before I put it on (should have tried the exfoliator first obviously) and so it didn't look good. At all. So it will be worth another shot.

 Makeup Mist and Set ($3); Today is my first day using this, so I'm not sure yet how well it has worked. I do have to say though, it doesn't feel oily on my face or anything, so I like that.

3 in 1 Mascara ($3); It didn't do much for my lashes. I don't like it. End of story. 

Blush in Candid Coral ($3); I'm not sure if I didn't just use much of the product, which could be the case because I was in a rush this morning, but I didn't find much pigment from this product. I will give it another shot because the color is pretty. 


Well that's all! The other makeup item is a pressed powder from Revlon that I like.

What is your favorite elf product? Your least favorite?
