Can This Even Be Classified As A Haul?

Hi lovelies. *waves* I literally picked up a few items while I happened to make a stop at one of my "happy places"...Tar-jay Target. Here's a pic of my little bundle of joy....




I had heard good things about Baby Lips and great things about the 24hr Color Tattoo so naturally I had to try them out. Curiosity led me to try out the e.l.f's defining eye brush and the inexpensive travel sized Pond's cleansing wipes caused me to pick it up as well. I will go through a brief opinion about each product excepting the Baby Lips. I want to do a separate post for that, I so pleased with this purchase. :-) 

First of I would like to discuss the elf's defining eye brush,I use this brush to apply my highlight color right under the brows. And I absolutely love it. The application goes smoothly and it does a good job at finishing blending out my crease color with the highlight. 

Up next is Maybelline's 24hr Color Tattoo. 


I purchased the color Tough as Taupe cause I saw MakeupJunkiiee18 use it in one of her looks. I fell in love with the color immediately. Unlike MakeupJunkiiee18 I did not use it as an eye-shadow but rather like most consumers I used it as a base. I had no problems with creasing and my eye-shadow as with any other good base was very opaque. I must say that Tough as Taupe is a color/shade that is quite unique. 




It is a mixture of a light brown and gray which I guess is exactly the description of taupe! Lol. I have the color tattoo sitting in my make-up drawer in the summer heat of NY and it has not even melted or become a sloppy consistency. Definitely a good thing, when I applied it to my eyelids it wasn't as creamy as NYX's jumbo pencils but at the same time I did not have to rub on my eyes for dear life to apply it. To sum it up I have no regrets purchasing this product. Here's a better view of Tough as Taupe in natural lighting. 



Please don't mind my nails. * embarrassed face*

And here are some pictures of swatches that I took....











As for the Pond's cleansing wipes I don't have much to say about it cause I have yet to use them. I usually use my Absolute! Aloe wipes to remove my make-up, the Pond's being a travel size product I thought I would use them when I was not at home and needed all my make-up messiness off of my face. When I actually try them out I may write a review/opinion for you guys. If not I am sure you all can find other reviews out there on the wipes.
