E.L.F Studio HD Powder Review (PICS)

I received a request to do a review on the ELF Studio HD Powder (with pics) a while ago, sorry I am so late!
Photobucket
This powder is extremely soft and finely milled..
I dont apply it with the powder puff that comes with it, I use my retractable kabuki brush.
It's a WHITE powder but it does not go on WHITE, I really blends well with any skin color or type.
Definitely a cheaper alternative to its counterparts, (MAKEUP FOREVER HD Powder && MAC Prep + Prime Transparent Powder--> LOVE THIS! It's just expensive! lol)
I'm extremely impressed with this powder for the price, ONLY $6!!
Get yours today!
Photobucket
I can't really show pics of my face because, well, there's not really a difference! LOL
Photobucket
ENJOY!

PROFUSION 98 COLOR PALETTE!

Y'ALL!! This is HUGE!
I bought this palette from ROSS for a STEAL!!! ONLY $7.99!!!
Its a high shimmer palette, and about 30% of the colors AREN'T very pigmented! (the only downside!) Other than that I am in LOVE with this palette...(sorry coastal scents but you have been TEMPORARILY replaced! LOL)

Photobucket
Sorry y'all some little GREMLIN at ROSS put little holes in all the colors in the palette, I didn't realize this until I got home! UGH!
Photobucket
I have used this palette, along with the coastal scents palette to create this look:
Photobucket
HOPE YA'LL ENJOY!!
anyone who has this palette, post your review below!! :-)

L.A Colors Glittering Starlet Palette: Claudette

I bought this palette from a store in West Oaks mall last week called IMAGEZ (see "NYX and MACY'S HAUL!") There was a WIDE variety of these palettes (different ones). They are very pigmented..I haven't used this palette yet but I can't wait to! :-)
Here is the palette and some swatches!!
Photobucket
Swatches w/ NO BASE or PRIMER underneath!!!
Photobucket
You can also find these on CHERRY CULTURE for $2.99 each!
The ONLY thing I DON'T like about this palette is that there a 3 red colors and I am not a big fan of RED eyeshadow! :-(
Other than that, its a STEAL and very good beginner shadow palette!
MUAH!!
