The addiction continues: elf Unboxing! Plus I stop being lazy!

Hi everyone! How's it going? I've been a little lazy lately and haven't posted, but I'm back in gear now so no worries! If you watch my YouTube videos, you know I FINALLY got my elf order! I posted a HAUL VIDEO (so much fun!) and I'll link it below!

I'm just gonna post a few pics of what I got. This will be a "written unboxing" (if that's possible....) and I'll describe a few of the products and what I think so far. More in depth reviews will be coming soon!!!! PLEASE COMMENT WITH WHAT YOU WANT ME TO REVIEW!!!!

*Disclaimer!* I'm not bragging or being sponsored! K thanks!

The amazing box-o-stuff:



Eyes Products:

  

5-Piece Due Eyeshadow Collection in Night: The shades are a lot more pigmented than I expected. You get a light and dark shade of each color which is great for on-the-go or travel. The brush/eyeliner is AMAZING! It's one of my favorite things so far. The eyeliner is great and stays on well. The brush is full-sized and great quality.
Custom Compact & Eyeshadow Pans: I got the colors Ivory, Wheat, Moondust, and Aubergine. I have been using this for a week or so now as my everyday look. I love these colors and they work well together. The pigmentation is good, but there is a little fallout. 
Waterproof Eyeliner Pens in Black and Plum: These have been working really well so far! I love to use the plum one to mix up my look a little bit and add a hint of color. Don't let the "waterproof" scare you--they come off just fine with makeup remover.
Eyelid Primer in Pearl: I gotta say I don't like this as much as the one in "Sheer." The primer blends out to nothing but it leaves glitter behind! It works well as a primer so far, but the glitter is bothering me....I didn't know it was full of glitter when I bought it because it doesn't say that on the website.
Cream Eyeshadow in Bronzed: I haven't really gotten to use this much even though I was really excited about it. But, I did swatch it when I first opened it (check out my video!) and I was impressed so hopefully I can use it soon!

Lips Products:

 
Lip Exfoliator: I put off buying this product for soooooooo long, but I'm glad I got it! My lips haven't been dried out but they haven't been smooth either. This exfoliator is definitely working wonders so far so I'm pleased!
Lipstick in Sociable: I LOVE this color! I've only used it a couple of times but I'm loving it so far! It's super creamy and pigmented!
Lip Stain in Pink Petal: I was really looking forward to trying this but mine is kinda dried up. I emailed elf and they credited my account but now I'm still lip stain-less....
Jumbo Lip Gloss Stick in Summer Nights: I'm loving this one too! It goes on light and gives a little sparkle to your lips. The only downside is the cap is too big for the product and it's always slipping off. Mine colored the inside of my box....I emailed elf and they credited me back for this one too so no big deal!

Face Products:

Contouring Blush and Brozer Duo in St. Lucia: I love the blush and have been using it almost everyday. The bronzer is a little too dark for me though so I need to practice applying it lighter. There's also a good bit of fallout with this so be careful!
Gem Kabuki Brush in Blue: This brush is so adorable! I've been using it to apply my setting powder and it's a good brush!
Cover Everything Concealer in Light and Corrective Yellow: This is the concealer I've been searching for all my life! It's light and creamy but gives absolutely FULL COVERAGE! I was worried the "Light" was ironically too dark for me but it goes on fine and matches my foundation perfectly. I use the yellow concealer under my eyes and I'm loving the results! I actually look awake even though I'm sometimes not....

Nails Products:
Glam Bam Nail Polish Set: You get 3 nailpolishes: a gold glitter (Golden Goddess), a pink-gold nude (Blush), and a deep maroon/purple (Cranberry). Blush and Cranberry have great pigmentation and they apply smoothly. The box says they dry quick but they didn't dry that fast. The Golden Goddess is kinda pointless. It takes a million coats to get 10 pieces of glitter on your nail! Maybe I'm just applying it wrong but I don't think so. Also, they kinda smell funny---just sayin'.

And then I got a ton of brushes so check out my post with that list or my unboxing video to see those! I'm using them slowly and trying them all out so I'll let you know my thoughts soon!

Hope you enjoyed this! Let me know what you've used and what you like! Request reviews and tutorials!
