E.L.F. August Haul
E.l.f. is such a throwback brand for me; it is one of the brands I grew up with and what I used when I started dabbling with make up, more specifically lip gloss! :-* Now that I'm in college, I never expected to splurge on this brand again. That obviously changed when an e.l.f. studio opened up by my school (on Fulton St., NYC)! I am telling you, you need to visit it as soon as possible. The prices are great and if you're like me, who doesn't make a career out of putting make up on haha, it is definitely the store to go to. It is really great for practicing techniques and perfecting your skill, which I am trying to do right now, considering the reasonable prices for good quality. This is the first haul I'm doing and I really don't regret buying these products to try.

For those who are unaware, the gala is an annual fundraiser for the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. Guests at this event are expected to wear formal attires that match the exhibit's theme and the following are my top 10 favorite looks from the Red Carpet.
