I love a good YouTuber collab, especially when its between one of my favorite brands and my favorite fairy, Tashina of Logical Harmony. Lets see what goodies are in her ELF collection.



Beautifully Bare Lip Tint in Cheers to Champagne - this is a gorgeous peachy shimmer shade. Great to throw in your bag for quick touch ups and makes your lips look so juicy and plump!

I've never tried this product before so i'm stoked it was included.

Beautifully Bare Satin Lipstick in Touch of Nude - another product i've not tried and was impressed by.

A pretty brown-toned nude that would suit many and i LOVE the sleek and simple packaging.

Prism Eyeshadow Palette in Sunset - an amazing accent palette for those of use who already have a lot of matte nudes.

Add a shimmer accent to the lid area, brow bone, inner corner or even lower lash line for a sparkle in your eye!



Blush in Twinkle Pink - one of my favorite Tashina moments is her getting tongue tied talking about this blush, you can enjoy it here.

The blush color is gorgeous (again, you can see it in action in the link) and has a very wearable shimmer. I'm so glad she included this because it makes me chuckle every time.

Baked Eyeshadow in Enchanted - this has been dubbed as a great dupe for champagne pop, whether thats true or not i do love this for a golden champagne glow on the eyes or cheeks!

Perfect for a bronzey summer look!








Overall i love this collection and think the choices will really appeal to many people because its all so wearable and complimentary.

You can read Tashina's post about the release here!

You guys asked to see a collective haul today on snapchat so here it is! Lots of vegan goodies from different companies so lets start the show & tell....

ELF Palette Review - http://www.wifelife.co/2016/02/elf-palettes.html

Products used:

I ordered some new ELF goodies, lets take a look at them!




Products mentioned:



You can find my ELF palette review here.


You guys chose this video on snapchat, heres my review and demo of the ELF face palettes.



They're all $6, have interchangeable pans and a decent color range for the drug store!


Palettes:



Logical Harmony's ELF/Hourglass Video is here!


I wanted to show you this ELF Baked Eyeshadow in full effect so heres a quick GRWM!



Stuff i used:


Matte eyeshadow palettes are a dime a dozen but do any others cost $10? No good ones, anyway.

















I mentioned this in my August Favorites video as well as demo'd it in this video but i thought you guys might like some close ups and swatches (my version of a swatch any way since i don't have much bare skin).



















As you can see a few of the colors have some fall out (the ones that appear flaked on my fingers) but they apply beautifully to the lid over OCC's John Doe Creme Concentrate.

The closest thing i can think to compare it to is the Paula's Choice Matte Nudes palette but i think i might prefer this one for the color selection and packaging (this one is plastic where as the PC one is cardboard).

I wasn't expecting to love this palette as much as i have but i've been reaching for it every day. The streamline packaging, the pigment and the perfect mix of warm, neutral & cool tones makes this the perfect palette for me.

















You can find this palette here for $10!

Yeah, you read that right! Lemme tell ya a little more 'bout it!

















There are many contour kits out there, especially powder ones, but do any of them even come close to the incredible price point of E.L.F.'s? Nope.

I often think more than 3 or 4 shades in a contour kit are unnecessary for the average person (not a makeup artist), so this quad's selection of colors is perfect for my tastes.

The first shade, a gorgeous eggshell color with a champagne sheen is ideal for those who want a glow without the glitter. Perfect to top cheek bones, swipe down the nose or even to highlight the eye area.

Moving onto the slightly more peach highlight shade (it reads more yellow in the picture, for some reason), i love this to set the undereye area or to blend out any crazy contour or blush i might've messed up! A great matte option that is super soft to blend.

The deeper, more taupe shade of the contour/bronze shades does appear very dark in the pan but its really easy to get a smooth application that you can't really mess up. The shade reminds me of a more matte version of the bronzer in the Charlotte Tilbury Bronze & Glow Palette.

Lastly, the bronze shade definitely has some peach undertones too so its very complimentary on a lot of skin tones and really mimics a natural bronze. Easy to apply anything from the sheerest hint to a glamazon bronze!


















As far as i can tell, this palette only comes in one shade range and it would be suitable for anyone up to medium/tan shades, i think.

The mirror in the lid is perfect for application on the go because of its size and all shades work awesome as eyeshadows, too!

All shades are buttery, easy to blend and layer, and i think this palette would be perfect for n00bs and pros alike!


Find the palette here.


I've had lots of lovely messages and comments on my closet decor lately so i wanted to compile some of my favorite, reasonably priced, favorites that i've added in lately. All of them are pretty monotone but i just love how it looks against the rich red wood in the rest of the room.




I mentioned this trunk in my September favorites and i'm still smitten. I originally wanted it just as a table of sorts but now keep my seasonal shoes inside!



I love trays as a way to keep my perfumes or lotions organized and displayed nicely at the same time, after all, some products are too pretty to hide away! These are some great options from Target.



Likewise, with makeup brushes, some are just too pretty to hide away. For those brushes or if you just like to have everything easily accessible, these are some pretty options! Some are intended for brushes, others are candle holders or vases. (used up candle glasses and decorative mugs work perfectly too)

If you're just beginning your highlighting/contour journey i'd recommend sticking with maybe 1 or 2 brands just to keep it simple; ELF and NYX both have great, inexpensive concealers you can highlight with and if you want a cheaper product to contour with you could try one of the NYX concealers that comes in a stick form thats just 2-3 shades darker than your skin (liquids also work well for contouring but cream or a solid is easier to begin with imo).
