ELF STUDIO MAKEUP MIST & SET REVIEW

Hi everyone!  For the longest time I have been wanting to add a setting spray to my makeup routine. I have never tried one before but have been hearing so many wonderful things about them.  I was hesitant because many of the brands I have seen have been a bit pricey. While shopping at Target one day I found out that ELF had a setting spray.  I was eager to give it a try with it's 3 dollar price tag! I was a bit skeptical, but what did I have to lose!

I am so happy I did, I love this product! It has really made a difference in my appearance.  I wanted to achieve a more natural look.  Unfortunately, at my age powder can settle in my fine lines and look cakey.  After I apply my makeup I spray a light mist about

12 inches from my face with my eyes closed.  I use about three sprays, it is a little wet feeling but I just fan my face with my hands for a few seconds til it dries.  I know some people have said they have noticed an unpleasant smell with this product but I have not had that experience at all.  I don't smell a thing.  My face looks less cakey and more natural.  Exactly what I was hoping it would, I especially like to use it with a matte foundation.  I do feel my makeup last longer as well! 

I would recommend this to someone who wants a setting spray that works without the high price tag.  How it compare to those,  I can't say,  however I can say I have been really enjoying this product and will be repurchasing it over and over! Hope you find this review helpful!

I HEART DRUGSTORE MAKEUP! BEST AFFORDABLE MAKEUP

I heart drugstore makeup! Best affordable makeup

Hi Everyone!  I have been enjoying the I heart drugstore makeup tag that has been going around you tube.  Check out some of the videos, they are so much fun to watch.  I decided to blog my answers.   So lets get started!

1. What is your favorite drugstore makeup brand?

This is a tough one because I love so many..  I think every brand has hits and misses.  But I would have to go with Revlon and Wet n Wild.   Love Revlon lip products and you can't beat Wet n Wild eye shadows.  So I declare a tie. 

2. What is your favorite face product?

I would say my Neutrogena Healthy skin foundation..its awesome!  Great for my dry skin and fine lines. I actually think it makes my skin look better. It has been compared to Nar's sheer glow. It is a dewy foundation and might not work for oily skin.  But I love it.

3. What is your  favorite cheek product?

Milani baked blush in luminoso.  This is a gorgeous peach tone blush with just a little shimmer. Gives your cheeks a glow.

4. Whats your favorite lip product?

Revlon lip butters.  The lip butters are so moisturizing and come in such a wide variety of colors.My favorite for the fall is Berry Smoothie. I love berry colors in the fall.  

Berry Smoothie

5. Least favorite drugstore product?

Wet n wild eye liners ....You have to press too hard and they smudge..they are only a dollar..but in this case you get what you paid for.

6. What is the best drugstore Bargain?

NYC Smooth Skin bronzer in shade sunny. This 2 dollars and is a fantastic matte bronzer. I have fair skin and this is my go to bronzer. Perfect for contouring on my pale skin.   You can't beat it for the price.

7. What is your favorite underdog product?

Covergirl professional all in one mascara. Never hear much about this mascara but I can't go without it. Does smudge or clump. Its just perfect.

8.  What product is overpriced?

Physicians Formula.  Not that impressed with the brand and is on the high side.

9. Show your best drugstore dupe.

I don't purchase any high end makeup. My collection is all drugstore.. so I really don't dupe. But I do search for dupes online and found my Elf contouring blush and bronzer is suppose to be a dupe for Nars ogasm and laguna. Not sure if it is but I think this a great product!

10. Drugstore product that isn't worth the hype?

Maybelline Falsie Mascara.  People rave about it. I had to rush out and get it. I hated it..clumpy and transferred.
Hope you enjoyed this tag and go online and check out some of the fantastic videos out there. Please tell me  some of your drugstore favorites in the comments below.  I am always interested in trying something new!
Have a great day!
