I'm going to try to keep a weekly update on the appearance of my scar. When I put my first picture up I'll explain the whole story behind it.

Mac Dare to Wear Collection
My mom and I have become close to our closest MAC counter ladies and we've been invited to be one of the first at our counter to try the latest collection. I've known about this collection for the past two weeks and previewed it last week and OMG, if you can get you hands on them do it. All of these eyeshadows are amazing. Also get you hands on their lip glosses. They are so pigmented. No need to wear a lipstick under it. THEY'RE ARE TO DIE FOR... LITERALLY. (:

Elf- Brushes & Make Up
A while back I decided that I was going to buy from Eyes Lips Face (E.L.F.). & after purchasing from elf I decide that I would do a review for you guys! (:
With my purchase, I received this palette. In the palette, there are nine eye shadows, one creme based eye shadow, blush, bronzer/contour, brow shadow, 10 lip colors, an eyeliner, I believe a sponge applicator and a blush/eye brush. The eye shadows are surprising like pigments and soft. They are easy to work with and something I'd think about getting for other people. The lips jellies are pigments but take a bit a body warmth to make the a bit more malleable. Unfortunately, I haven't tried the blush, bronzer, brow sit or there eyeshadow creme. I am expecting them to be the same in quality but unsure of that eyeshadow creme.
The next product I bought from them was their Daily Brush Cleaner. I am definitely not impressed with this product at all. Unusual orange/citric and not very strong. Yes, it'll get some eyeshadow off you brush but it doesn't look like it does or feel like it
High Definition Powder: It's all right. It's nothing special. There high definition powder lights me and I would not recommend this to anyone with a dark skin tone. Unless, it's for Halloween or something. The sifter is not permanently in, it's really easy to take the sifter and once you do you see all of the product that gets stuck between the jar and sifter.
The next two things I bought were ELF Quad. For their price($1), it has an amazing pay off and pigmentation. They are soft and easy to blend. I would definitely go buy the rest.
When I made an order at ELF, I really was obsessed with the way that glitter eye liner look on me. So, I decided I was going to buy ELF's. I am not satisfied with this one. To get an opaque glitter line would take several and I mean several coats of this liner. But on the other hand it's a beautiful gold.
All Over Color Stick: I do not use this product offer so I really cannot say yay or neigh on this product because it doesn't fit my skin tone properly. But it smells like a vanilla grape which is extremely weird to me. It takes a little bit to get the color stick to be opaque but not bad. It also has an unusual feeling when applying it to my face.
I really enjoy this product to the point I've hit pan of the lighter shade. Haha. I prefer to use my finger than the brush it came with because it's hard to pick up product unless it's heated up with your body temperature. This is a great concealer for undereye, blemish(green) and green tones(pink) on your face.
This is ELF's warm bronzer. I use to use this everday until I bought my bronzer from MAC. What I do is swirl my bronzing brush of choice and do the E3 on my face. Once, I run out I am for sure buying another one. I would recommend this to can one. One of the things I like about this bronzing quad that if you're lighter or darker you can mix the shades to fit you.
I believe this is ELF Complexion Perfection Palette. I use to take each individual color powder concealer and put them where I need them but I read on the back that your take a powder brush and swirl it around and apply to face to cover any imperfection. That just made my face light which I wasn't a fan of. The yellow conceals purple (bruise), blue conceals orange (bad fake tan), green conceals red/pink (blemish/pimple) and pink conceal green (healing bruise).
This is so sad to look at. I got ELF concealer and highlighter stick thingy. Lol. One day, I twisted on to tight and when I went to use the highlighter again it just broke. Really sad thing I tell you. I did really like it. Even though it has a purple undertone to it. The concealer is for your under eye but was a shade or two too light. So, I rarely use to but I do use it on my friend when I do her make up. It's pretty creamy and I had not noticed it to crease. I will not repurchase.
This is their eye shader brush. Every time I do my eyeshadow this is what I use. This brush because it's has a dome shape and is tapered it pick up shadow nicely. I choose this one over my artnet. Plus it's good for packing on color.


Elf's concealer brush: I do not use this brush at all for the fact that I rarely get any break outs and when I do, I do not like wearing foundation. So, I have no need for this brush. But it's small and perfect for blemish, stiff and dense.


Elf's Brow Wand/ Eyelash Spolly This is my multiply purpose wand. I use it to help me groom my eye brow or to separate my eyelashes. I do really enjoy this, I would recommend this to anyone in need for one.


ELF's angle foundation brush: I've used this a handful of time and it's nothing special to be honest. I prefer my Brandon foundation brush over this one. But I prefer using my hands or a sponge over a brush. The Elf's Angled Foundation brush isn't very tapered at all so it doesn't do a good job at blending your foundation= foundation lines=bad.


ELF's Blush Brush: I really wish I liked this brush more and maybe I just got a bad batch but the hairs are loose. So, I can change the shape of the brush and I really don't like that. But it's tapered on both sides. In result it is could at blending your blush to make it more natural looking.


Elf's Complexion brush: I use this brush to set my make up with and apply brush or bronzer as well. It has a nice tapering. So, great for blending bronzer or blush.


Elf's Powder Brush: I use this to apply liquid foundation. It's really good at going that, also it can set your make up which I tend to use it for that as well. I do enjoy it but the foundation does fall really far into the hairs of the brush.

Working on It!
At this point in time I am working on getting a charger for my camcorder. I want to make videos and tutorials for you guys but living in a small town makes it sooo.. hard to find the simplest things.. I swear it's the hardest thing ever. But, tomorrow I'm going searching for a charger. I have so many things I want to do for youtube. You guys will be so impressed. (:
