Beauty Haul: NYX Cosmetics 30% Off

Currently Save-on-Foods has 30% off on all NYX Cosmetics. Here's what I got:

Jumbo Eye Pencil in Black Bean unfortunately they didn't have the French Fry shade in stock $5.99 - $1.80 = $4.19


Single Eyeshadow in Golden Dune, Sparkle Cedar, Frosted Flakes $6.99 - $2.10 = $4.89



Lipgloss in Cosmo $6.99 - $2.10 = $4.89

I'm not sure if it's a manager's special or it is happening at all SOF locations. I found this deal at the Ironwood location.

Oddly enough the day before I had gone to Pricesmart in Langley and NYX wasn't on sale at all. Yesterday I purchased Jumbo Eye Pencils in Cottage Cheese, Iced Mocha, Oyster $5.89 each.

Beauty Review: E.L.F. Cream Eyeliner in Black

I used the black cream eyeliner after applying an eyelid primer. I find the staying power to be excellent, this cream eyeliner is quite smudge proof and dries quickly after application. I also used the mini eyeliner brush that came with the eyeliner pot. But I don't really like the brush as I find the bristles to be a little to flimsy, I prefer a brush to be a little more sturdy that way I have more control and can draw a more precise line.

I like to set this cream eyeliner with black eyeshadow and this also intensifies the colour. This eyeliner has a subtle but natural looking finish, I can use this to line my upper and lower eyelids. I haven't tried using this on my waterline yet, as I have extremely sensitive eyes I didn't want risk it. 

Overall I rate this product 4 out of 5 stars and I will definitely purchase this again and I would purchase it in multiple colours.
