Heavenly Naturals Cosmetics have beautiful pigments that are soft texture and gentle on the eyes.  The best of all they have many colors to choose from and are very affordable.  The pigments can be used wet or dry.  I recommend Heavenly Naturals Cosmetics to anyone. 

ALL products were purchased by me and this is my honest opinion.

E.L.F Cosmetics Haul -100 Eyeshadow Palette

Hello again,

OK, I was in my local Target like always buying the things I NEED yet I came across on what I DON'T NEED but I just couldn't help myself, lol.  The NEW ELF 100 eyeshadow Palette is only $10 dollars and it has beautiful colors.  I'm NOT showing swatches for each color because come on this palette is a complete BARGAIN so you can't lose.  However, I will show some colors that caught my eyes immediately (w/o primer or base).

PRO's:
Affordable
Great to get or give as a present
Quantity of colors (100)
Very pretty colors
Colors are: Matte, Shimmer and Frost
Logo is not a sticker (+)
CON's:
Packaging is plastic

 

 

Swatches starting from right to left         Starting this row up (swatches of the first 4 colors going up)

 

Last row of the palette - 3rd color from left to right (my dumb is on it) is a beautiful green with gold iridescent glitter (swatch on the 1st picture - 1st color starting from right to left).  Next, my finger is pointing to the 'Blue' which is so pretty followed by the purple below (swatches on the 1st picture). 

When I first picked up this palette this 'Blue' is what really caught my eye.  I have been playing with the colors and I must say I'm really in love with this palette.  I recommend this palette to anyone!

Happy Holidays or better said Happy Shopping...lol.
