ELF Holiday Essential Holiday Beauty Eye Books Swatches

This is my last set of ELF holiday products from the Target haul. Today I want to share with you swatches from their beauty books in Natural Eye and Everyday Eye. I think these could make a great gifts under the tree or stocking stuffers for teens or someone just getting into makeup. They come with 12 coordinating colors as well as an eyeliner pencil and some instructions. This would be great to travel with as well!

First up is the Everyday Eye Book

 And here are photos of the Natural Eye Book

You can get them at ELF's website for $5 or at Target for $4 Natural Eye or Everyday Eye

ELF Holiday Studio Endless Eyes Pro Mini Eyeshadow Palette - Warm - Swatches

I just wanted to share some quick swatches of this palette in case anyone was interested in buying it. I got this during my Target haul a while ago. There are 32 shadows in this collection. All of these shadows were pigmented well and were easy to work with. This would be a great present for someone just starting to get into make up and looking for a bunch of neutral colors to work with. This is also a great gift for someone who works and needs a more conservative look for the office.

Duo 1 is a frosty silver pink and a metallic silver. Duo 2 is a satin chocolate brown with a metallic light copper. Duo 3 is an olive green sheen with an iridescent purple. Duo 4 is a black with chunky silver glitter and a gunmetal grey. I was very impressed with these shadows. They are very pigmented and soft. I think for the price you can not go wrong. Also, many of these colors are similar to colors in the Too Faced Glamour To Go Dream Edition.

Target Haul

I recently went to Target to buy some basic house stuff when I was suddenly distracted by all the glittery ELF products on the end cap. I picked up quite a bit, none of which I needed. I rationalized it by how cheap everything was. I ended picking up a blush brush, a set of duos, the ultimate eyeshdow palette, eyeshadow palette with 32 warm colors, everyday eye palette and natural eye palette.
