Quick review and favorites

I have to say I really like the e.l.f. tinted moisturizer. I've been using it instead of foundation for over a week now and I haven't had any major break outs, and I really like they way it makes my skin look. I haven't been using just the moisturizer. I have also been using bronzer and power over the top, but those are things I would normally wear with my foundation. It lasts a really long time. I can put it on before work, work all day long, come home and go for a walk, and right before bed it'll still be there. The concealer I have been using, but my skin has been so nice with the moisturizer that I haven't really needed a lot of concealing. But it is a lighter concealer, nice texture and it blends well. The highlighter end I haven't really been using at all because I find it's a little too matte for me, and too white. I tried using it on my brow bone and I didn't like the way it looked there.

My nail polish, well, you saw the color, it's nice. I have been using Orly Nail Defense as a base coat and top coat and that has helped to make my polish last longer. I like that so far. I used to use it a long time ago, and didn't like it as much as I do now. Likely because I work with my hand more now and can really see that it helps to make my polish last longer and my nails are stronger too.

Other products I love...
Avon Nail Polish! Colors are great and they last a long time.
China Glaze Nail Polish! Same as above
Gold Bond Healing Lotion, it's really dry in Colorado and this is a great moisturizer.
The bronzer I use is Bare Escentuals Warmth and the power I use is Bare Escentuals Illuminating Mineral Veil
I like Rimmel Glam Lash Mascara right now.
Laura Mercier brow powers rock, but since I've been coloring my hair I've been using one of her eye shadows lately. Which I also love.
I like all of the Orly top coats and base coats that I've used. So far I've used Bonder, Won't Chip and Nail Defense. What I like about Nail Defense over Won't Chip is that it doesn't get thick like other top coats. Even Seche Vete will get thick and stringy, I haven't noticed that this has, but it's not as glossy.
I haven't bought any new clothes lately because I've been too poor, but I've been wearing a lot of purples and spring greens lately. I also love wearing yellow, which is sometimes hard to pull off, but if you have a rosy undertone like I do, then it's easier.
The perfume I've been wearing a lot is La Vanille's Passion fruit Vanilla. I like to smell like food; don't know why, but there it is.
Wow, this is longer than I thought it would be, but in conclusion, BUY!! the e.l.f. tinted moisturizer!!! I got it at k-mart for $3.00 and it's as good or better than some of the more expensive ones out there.
