Beauty from the Earth: Northern Lights

 

"An aurora is a natural light display in the sky particularly in the high latitude arctic regions, caused by the collision of energetic charged particles with atoms in the high altitude atmosphere. In northern latitudes, the effect is known as the aurora borealis (or the northern lights), named after the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for the north wind, Boreas."





 This beauty from the earth is the "Northern Lights"  I never seem it in person, but I've seen plenty of videos and photos of this amazing event.  I hope you like the look and as always, thanks for reading & watching and  =)

e.l.f. Essential Powder Brush

I was a little hesitant on getting this brush because it was from the essentials line and not the studio line.  There are a lot of mixed reviews on brushes from the essential line more leaning towards negative, but I haven't heard one bad review about the studio line brushes.  This brush is a great alternative if you don't want to spend the money on the MAC 109 or even the Sigma F05 brush.  I really do like this brush, now this is my first brush from this line, so I can't speak on the rest of the brushes.  Whats funny is that I mention in the video that I wish elf would have made a brush like this in their studio line and no lie, a week later they did, so be on the lookout for that brush review.  This brush gets 5 stars from me.



e.l.f. Essential Custom Eyes

Wheat (top left), Driftwood (top right), Navy (bottom left), Aubergine (bottom right)

This too is also a first purchase for me.  I haven't heard a bad review about this product and I have to agree I do like these eye shadows.  These four colors are new to the line and they go very well together.  The pigmentation is good you could probably wear these without a base, but I still would use one.  I would give these about 4 stars.   

e.l.f. Studio Matte Lip Color

Natural
Coral
Nearly Nude
Praline
Tea Rose
 These lip colors are pretty good to matte, they are not to drying and they do have some lasting power.  My only negative comment about these lipsticks is that they smell bad, not to the point you can't wear them, but the smell dose linger a bit then goes away.  The last thing is that I wish the color range was better, but other than that these are pretty good 4 stars.

 

e.l.f. Studio Lip Balm SPF 15

Pink
Rose
Plum
Peach
Nude

e.l.f. Studio Eyebrow Treat & Tame

Deep
 I have always wanted to try this product, but the shade selection was never dark enough.  I use a dark brown pencil to fill my brows in so I would need this color to be dark brown as well.  I really like using this for a natural look brow, sometimes I don't feel like using pencil and concealer so instead I use this and I like the effect that it gives.  I really can't speak on the treat product because I haven't been using it that long, but I will post an update.

e.l.f. Essential Holiday Beauty Eye Books (Smoky Eye): Look 2




This is the second tutorial using this beauty book and really like it.  From the looks of the book it's going from lightest to darkest, being the blues are light, the purples are medium, and the black and grays are the darkest.  You don't have to use this book the way I am, I just wanted to use this book to make smoky looks because it's a smoky book.  Of course you can always make this more suitable for daily wear.  If you have any other request for elf products or anything else let me know.  As always, thanks for reading & watching.

e.l.f. Essential Holiday Beauty Eye Books (Smoky Eye): Look 1

Since working with the glitter eye edition beauty book I decided to get the smoky eye edition.  I believe they have a total of 4 books to the holiday collection and the only 2 that I have is the glitter book and the smoky book.  I really like this book, the colors that I've worked with so far are pigmented and blends very easy.  I don't think that I will be getting the other two books, they look good but I have colors similar to those books.  As always thanks for reading and watching.
