short beauty haul

I'm seeing elves everywhere! but not really, though. I am constantly seeing reviews and hauls about the brand e.l.f. and all of their beauty products. while it's not a very popular brand (from where I stand in the USA), I did find a small selection in a local drugstore. I browsed for a bit and read descriptions and decided to purchase some to see what all the fuss is about. one purchase was a custom compact and you can buy each separate pan to place in the compact, which i thought was pretty neat. and I love that these products are $1! that being said, I'm not going in with high hopes, quality wise. we shall see.

*I will review each individual product at the next chance I get, possibly later tonight. I also bought some polishes and lip stain! do any of you have the following? tell me your thought and input!

I love the ELF eye shadow with the palette you can customise, what a great idea.

I've used some Elf products before and I'm not in love with their eyeshadow. However, I didn't get the kind that you got where you can pick your own shades so that may be better than the stuff I bought. I do like their lipgloss and the make-up brushes. And I absolutely love their mineral make-up, which is a little bit more expensive than $1 but not by much. Way cheaper than other mineral make-up. I ordered mine online before you could buy it in Target.

I love the four pan palette, those colours are lovely together! How much was the palette in total? xxx

@michelle - the total cost for the palette, shadows included, was $5! everything was just $1 each.

I've always been curious about ELF products. I'm skeptical, but maybe you really can get great quality for so cheap? I'm eagerly awaiting your review!
