Stop Hatin' on Elf!

It's round two of e.l.f. reviews on fuzziestbunnyslippers!

I recently received an order and was particularly pleased with everything I got.
Their Essential Waterproof Eyeliner Pen is amazing!  I also have the Avon one that's similar, and have a hard time deciding which to go with each day, since they're both so good.  (Midnight does not look as blue as it does in the picture, but you can definitely tell it's blue, not black!)  It's got a felt tip and is soooo easy to use, my dog could probably do it! But if cat eyes (eyes like a kitteh!) are more your style, this is perfect for that!

 I'm not at all an expert with brushes (and usually just use whatever is closest to me), but the Essential Blending Eye Brush seems to be working fabulously! 

I also ordered the Brightening Eye Color quad in Matte Mauve. (Which may have been a mistake.  I don't really use matte colors, so I don't know why I even wanted this... haha, silly me, but really, it's good eye shadow.  I just haven't found an awesome use for it yet.) BUT the color is very pigmented! This quad comes in a bunch of other colors that I'm sure are fantastic!

Most importantly, I feel like I have to talk about (and defend a little) e.l.f.'s Eyelid Primer!  I've heard a variety of mixed reviews.  Some say it's awful and makes eyelids oily, others (like one of my mom's magazines) say it's amazing and "the best dollar you'll ever spend!"  I'm going to have to side with the latter on this one.  I've been using it for a little while now and absolutely love it.  I don't find it to be oily in the slightest bit.  The color lasts all day and, yup, no creasing!  Definitely worth more than a dollar!

Wanna make a lil money?

Four dollars may not sound like a lot, but if you've got hundreds of people giving you $4, it's gonna add up! This is why you NEED to know about Fiverr if you have any talent... in any area... at all.
Fiverr is an online network where people put things like, "I will promote your product on my blog for $5" or "I will perform a ridiculous and passtionate acapella version of any song under five minutes for $5".  You pay $5, the person gets $4, and Fiverr gets $1. 
If anything, just go check the site out cause some of them are hilarious! 

Back to School!?

Don't worry, this blog post is not me saying that going back to school is cute (except for all the first day outfits, of course!). Yesterday, in a sort of 'get to know each other' activity, a question asked, "What are two things you are good at?" Since I find it odd to write things like that, 'cause no one wants to seem brag-gy, right?.... I asked my friend what she thought I should write and her response: "OH! Painting your nails!" So here we are. (Sorry for the kinda unnecessarily long intro!)

The inspiration is from xSparkage... I shouldn't say inspiration because it's basically the same exact thing buuuuut.... oh well! She used Essie's Turquoise and Caicos and I'm guessing a white nail pen. I, on the other hand, used Sally Hanson's Insta-Dry Fast Nail Color in Mint Sprint and a light blue Avon color in Vintage Blue (similar to the Sephora by OPI color Havana Nights). My version is a touch cheaper.

Anyway, I only wanted to share because of how adorable this is and I have a little trick! Sometimes, using toothpicks to make precise lines and designs works out fabulously, but sometimes, you just end up in a frustrated mess. Well I think I have found a solution to this problem! Instead of going out and buying a new fine-ish tipped nail pen in every color you need, just get one! I recommend getting a basic color, probably white, because black may be a little dark for this. For whatever reason, I have a gold nail pen, so that's what I used.


This is super easy:

• just take your nail pen
• wipe off the excess around the brush with a tissue/paper towel
• pick whatever nail polish color you want
• put a little on a paper plate, some sort of palette, maybe? or i just used an upside down bathroom dixie cup
• dip the pen into the color
• start goin' to town!

It's so simple, easy, and adorable!  If you're not good doing precise things with your not prominent hand, just ask someone to help you out! If it would be easier for me to show you in a short little video tutorial, comment and let me know!
Thanks for reading and hope everybody is having a great week back at school!

For Goodness Grape!

While I was away on vacation this past week, there was one thing I felt I was missing...   When lying, sitting, reading, and playing bocce on the windy beach, I felt so bad for my poor lips.  Once I got home, I found exactly what I was looking for wrapped up in the most adorable piece of candy packaging: For Goodness Grape Lip Products!  All of the Lip Candies are made with the best ingredients to ensure your pretty little lips are well taken care of.


Of course I admire and applaud all of the stores on Etsy, For Goodness Grape is definitely special and stood out to me from the very first glance. This cute store full of wonderful lip products is run by Lisa, a certified medical assistant.  If that doesn't tell you that For Goodness Grape is a serious store focused around helping you look and feel great... or should I say grape? ;), I don't know what will!  Between that interesting fact and the super professional and just as cute packaging, you can be sure For Goodness Grape is one of the most legitimate stores on Etsy.


The Strawberry Bubble Gum Lip Candy is the perfect base for any gloss or lipstick, ensuring that your lips are soft and smooth before applying anything else.  Additionally, this cute little lip balm smells (and tastes) amazing!  Another favorite of mine?  For Goodness Grape's Lava Lip Icing is a perfect shiny gloss to go over anything, but it can also stand on it's own!  The best part about it? It's 100% NOT sticky!  And while I have no clue what a paraben is, these don't have 'em (that's a good thing!)! 


So if you are in need of some tasty, quality lip products, I highly suggest checking out For Goodness Grape on Etsy for the best budget-friendly lip candies on the web!
