I feel compelled to put in my two cents on these two products. And I have both pros and cons with them which is why I want to talk specifically on them. Product #1, a fragrance pencil from Anthropologie in Taverns & the Hague by Caroline Sabas. I love the scent, I love the compact-ability, I love the cute packaging. And the price is alright. At 10 dollars, I supposed it's alright for what you get. According to the site, it's .14oz, and because of it's pencil application, it's ridiculously easy to apply. Now here's my con experience with it. The product gets used fast when your applying it on. This morning, I was pulling the string that it comes with to peel bits of the paper on top off, and the product is so delicate, that it snapped in half. I had to tape it back together. On top of that, the paper peeled so much that a chunk of fragrance broke off on top, and I had to smash it back to keep it together. I'm also a little disappointed at how quickly the fragrance goes away.
Product #2 (on the right, obv), is the e.l.f tone correcting concealer. And this is alright as well. I'm giving my Lancome waterproof undereye concealer a break and using the elf ones. I got two: light beige and apricot beige. I should have taken a picture of my undereyes which is where I applied it. I was trying out apricot beige first since light beige seemed too light. Although, I think it'll work just as fine. My friend (the one into beauty) told me it looked fine. I've been really inspired by Lisa Eldridge. She's been using elf products in her videos and making it look so easy to apply. I now want to buy the books. heh. On the side note on this tone correcting concealer product. It has this odd citrus-y smell. I love my citrus scents, but this one was way too sweet for me. It surprised me. I'll still use it, because I bought them for a dollar each, but I'm a little turned off by the smell. I might have to shed a little dough and buy the studio concealers that are about 3 dollars. Those are the ones Lisa Eldridge used in her videos anyway.
