What's In My Beauty Bag? June


Time for me to bring out my beauty bag and show you what's new! And y'all, I have so much to share! I am only sharing my faves out of the products I was sent from the past few months.  Y'all know I wouldn't waste my time sharing something that wasn't good! Now, let's open up the bag and see what's inside:

Hard Candy Sassy Eyes--I know a lot of you like drugstore shadows, so I thought I'd share this new kit from Hard Candy. There are 3 of these with each tin having 9 shadows, primer, a liner, applicator, and use instructional card. Great for teens just getting into makeup and those who want a more natural eye shadow look. $8 Walmart

Homemade Bath Bombs, Salts & Scrubs--If you've read this blog for about 5 minutes, you'll know I love a good diy, and this book has over 300 of them. Made of all-natural ingredients, these bath additions elevate your soak and help with common ailments. There are no pictures, but the recipes are great. $14.95 ulyssespress.com

Japonesque--They're one of my fave beauty brands for several reasons--the products are great quality and I love the unique packaging.

  • Essential Brush Set--just the essentials in a cute travel case
  • Pro Cut Crease Brush & Pro Crease Blending Brush--2 new brushes that are a must-have. I use these every day.
  • Solid Brush Cleanser--Cleansing your brushes AND sponges is so much faster with this and it leaves them smelling nice, too.
  • Velvet Touch Blushes in 03 and 06--Look at those beauties below! My favorite summer blush is 3. It's a gorgeous coral with a golden undertone.
  • Velvet Touch Shadow Palette 02--An awesome nude palette--love this when I travel! 
$20 and up ULTA.com

NYC Strip Me Off Base Coat--Raise your hand if taking off glitter polish is the worst! Well now I've got an easy solution with this peel-off base coat. I can remember using peel-off polishes as a kid (I would try to make my own with watered-down glue) and this reminds me of that. Simply apply a genourous coat and allow to dry. It will turn clear. Then apply polish, like glitter polish. To remove, peel away! BONUS: I like to use this AROUND my nail before doing watermarble or ombre nails. Makes cleanup so easy and is a great deal! $1.99, mass retailers

Mirabella Colour Luxe Lip Gloss--Sneak peek time! These new shades in Sleek, Polish, and Glossed are soft and pretty. They give oil-rich intense hydration with a luminous shine.  Glossed (coral) is my fave and I like to use it and Polish on top of my fave lipsticks. They smell amazing and are so much prettier in person (which is why I don't like doing lip swatches). Coming in July $26 at professional salons and mirabellabeauty.com

SinfulColors Summer 2015--I had to end this with one of my fave drugstore polish brands! There are 29 hues that range from spicy reds, oranges, glitter as well as appliques. These are $1.99 and are found at drugstores.

Pictured: Otaku Anime, Maroon Fine (I'm wearing it in my video from last week), Pink Ansen, Fuji Fuji, Writing on the Wall (two coats and I made it extra pigmented on the bottom to show the intensity), Paste-erd (two coats with more intensity on the sides)

Which ones would you like to try?

Extra Elle:
  • I had to get a new planner--I'm old school, so I write it all down, and would be lost without it. I got one from Target. As much as I love everyone's EC ones, they are just too cluttered for me. I know, so boring!
  • I'm on Snapchat--see my day at work, my life, and a smidge of beauty. Search for Ellesees.
  • Rebecca Minkoff + Karen Walker Sunglasses Giveaway
  • Splash Into Summer Giveaway
  • Happy birthday to my step-dad!

  3. I can't believe how long it's been since I've used anything by Hard Candy - miss that brand!! Love the pretty Mirabella lip glosses too! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston

  4. Using that peel off polish around your nail for quick clean ups is genius! You my friend have just changed my life! Sinful colors polish is so great when I want that "on trend" color, but don't want to shell out for a Butter London, Chanel, or Nars brand polish. They last a decent amount on their own and come in soooo many colors. I gift them a lot. (:

  5. I've never heard of Japonesque before, but their colors and products look awesome. THanks for the suggestion. I really like the first lip gloss shade you shared, too, very pretty!

    HBD to your step dad!

  8. I loved the Hard candy sassy Eyes and the peel off NYC base coat! That's brilliant! I never had a peel off nail polish, but I am eager to try, it seems to be super practical! Yes, imagine the glitter polish, how easy it will be to remove it! Hope I find this base coat soon!

  11. Why do I not own anything from Japonesque yet? What am I waiting for?! Ah, the packing is so beautiful, and the brushes look like they are great quality! That fluffy blending brush looks especially nice.

  12. I hope to see some diys from that book!! I should get one because I love bath bombs and salts but they are expensive so I need to start making my own! I like hard Candy blushes but I haven't tried their shadows, that set looks cute!
    I had a EC planner and was so excited about it but then stopped using it because of the bulkyness like you said. I was so disappointed lol because I loved the idea of it!

  15. I love that eye shadow palette! I really want a new one, too, so that one might be a front runner. And thanks for the heads up about the peel off base coat! I have an 8 year old who loves her glitter nail polish (I'm raising her right) and this will be perfect!

  20. Holy beauty! I love these makeup colors!! I'm such a neutral type of girl!
    I love Sinful polish! It's totally not given enough credit. Yeah it's cheap polish but it's good for only paying like $2. I love nail stickers too, such a fun and quick way to do your nails!! xo

  25. So that Homemade Bath Bombs, Salts & Scrubs book sounds so awesome!!! I really need to make more of this myself so it is natural. The NYC Strip Me Off Base Coat sounds genius and I love all the Sinful colors you have there. I share your feelings on the EC planners, they are overwhelming and I like to keep it basic. Plus, Target has way better prices!!

    ReplyDelete
  26. I don't care for the EC Planners myself. Too bulky - too pricey!!!
    I love my Kate Spade one though. That & the My Agenda - my 2 favs.

  27. Another great, informative post! Loving those lip glosses!

  28. I thought I was the only one who didn't like the Erin Condren planners. I don't know what it is, but I just don't care for them. I have to write everything down too. If I don't write it down, it doesn't get done!

  29. The Japonesque blush and shadow colors are so pretty! I've never tried them before but will have to check them out!
