ELF 32 Piece Cool Eyeshadow Palette Swatches

Ok! I'm sorry I'm a few days late with this but here are the swatches of all 32 colors.

Here is the overview of the palette...



And here are the swatches going across, row by row.

This is the first row. On some, I have 2 pictures of the row because on some you could see colors better than others and blah blah blah.... So the top row is mainly bronzes.... which i like.... to be fair all the colors have 2 swipes over each other.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      This is the second row and this is where you begin to see the coluh!!! :D The pink shade ( 3rd from left to right) isn't very pigmented... it actually feels very chalky.  Maybe you just can't see it on my brown skin... :D
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 This is the 3rd row.....obviously! and I was disappointed with the beginning colors because you can't seeee them!! :( With the first few colors, you'll have to use a pigmented colored base in order to get that pretty color pay off that you're looking for. The 4th green, (I talk about in the video) isn't pigmented at all! This one goes along with the pink shade in the 2nd row that feels chalky as you apply it. It feels dusty.... not smooth like the other colors. The 3rd color (the lighter shade of green) is really pretty!! That one feels almost silky. :) That one is a yes BUT again, a light base is probably the best to use with it so the color can really stand out.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the last row in the bunch and it is my favie! :D I like smokey eyes so that purple is GORGEOUS!! I have to be honest... that last color is supposed to be the black shade of the bunch.... it is not pigmented at all which is a shame. :( In this picture, the 3rd color from the left is blue and looks black. I do have to say that one is one of my favorites because it has that silky texture to it and it is super pigmented. I love it!! OH!! and that first color that you see at the far left, i love to use as a highlight on the brow bone. In the palette it looks pink but it actually comes off white. :)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I actually can't stop using this palette. I mean, it does have some misses on it - I'm not going to lie, but it does have a nice variety of colors and it is something that isn't expensive. 
 I am sorry for the delay in putting up the swatches but I hope this helped and thank you so much for dropping by!!

ELF 32 Piece Cool Eyeshadow Palette

Here is my video on a little review of the ELF 32 Piece Cool Eyeshadow Palette. I do love it! Some eyeshadows aren't as pigmented, which is expected from ELF but others are fantastic!!

Overall I do love the palette, especially because it is small enough to carry with you for travel and it has all the basic colors you would need for anyyyyy look! :D I do have to give it two thumbs up!! :D

I will try my best to put swatches of every single eyeshadow in here to determine whether or not this is a good palette for you! I will try to have them up by November 28, 2012.

Goodies!! =D


Now this is all the makeup that i purchased. For now this is just the swatches of the items because I am still checking out the items. I will include some of my first thoughts about the products. Some of the first impressions are good and some not so much but we'll end up seeing after i wear them for a while. I never 
know, I could change my mind! =)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These are the Wet N Wild Idol Eyes Creme Shadow Pencils. Here are the names of the shades that i have:  Green - Envy
Blue - Distress
Purple - Techno
Champagne - Pixie 
Grey - Graphite 

They are all frosty but they are gorgeous!! =)                                                                    


 This is just what they look like. They are about 3.5 inches in length from tip of cap to tip of pencil.
 This photo shows the shades up close.
Here are the colors on the skin without primers. The purple shade went on a bit blotchy. It took a few tries to get the color intensity that is shown here. I do have to say that just because of the difficulty of applying the purple one, it has to be my least favorite. I don't think I would repurchase that product. It was only $.99 but still - there are plenty of products out there that will give me a good purple base without any problems. =)






------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



This is a shade from Rimmel  and it is in the shade Plum Romance. Now i know one shadow shouldn't speak for all of the shadows but I probably will not be purchasing anymore of these shadows. I get better quality shadows from ELF. Just because the shadows are inexpensive doesn't mean that you should provide a crappy one! This one wasn't my favorite. It is build-able but i don't want to dip then sweep, dip then sweep, dip then sweep.... I want one swipe intensity.
This shows that the shadow is pretty. It's purple and nice to look at but it is almost chalky and not pigmented.


 This photo displays the shadow without primers, just on the skin alone. The swatch on the right is the shadow just by itself. I used a plain eyeshadow brush to apply the shadow and there was absolutely no color intensity there. The swatch on the left is the shadow with the same eyeshadow brush but wet with water.



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 This is the Lip Butter by Revlon in Lollipop. It is very bright but i like it! It's very smooth on the lips! It really does seem like a lip balm! =)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 This is a Revlon matte  lipstick in Mauve It Over. I LOVE IT! Since this color is matte, you need a gloss over it for the nice shine but is still looks really pretty! =)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I will have photos of what the nail polishes look like on the nails pretty soon. They are all really nice and I think you'll enjoy them as much as i am! Yay!! =)



 I LOVE THESE NAIL POLISHES!!!!! From left to right the shades are called :
I Need A Refresh-Mint #218A
Undercover #206C
On a Trip #213C
Through The Grapevine #208B
Wet Cement #201C

I love them all!!! =D

 These 3 are from Sinful Colors. From left to right: Mint Apple #947
Frenzy #922
Nail Junkie #927











Down here we have 3 other nail polishes. The first one is from Wet N Wild and it is called Party of Five Glitters. The next two are from Sinful Colors and in order from left to right the names are Hottie #831 and All About You #921. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM ALL!! =D


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now this mascara I wasn't so fond of. It just doesn't have too much product in there. I took the wand
out of the tube and it was already dry! =/ It's good for on the go - like if you are in a hurry to get somewhere and you forget your favorite mascara......at least is SOMETHING to have around. I mean I did get it for $.99 so hey, what can I expect right?













The photo down here just displays the wand.... BOO!!

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is my favorite find!!!! This is the Wet N Wild trio palette in Spoiled Brat! OH MY GOSH!! I absolutely love this palette!!! The colors are fantastic!! Literally only one sweep and what you see in the pan is what you get! 10 out of 10 stars!



Check out the swatches in this photo!! That is just with one sweep! =D I was blown away!
