e.l.f. Haul | Makeup, Brushes, & Free 3-Piece Gift with Purchase






http://www.elfcosmetics.com/




MY ELF HAUL



I recently placed an e.l.f. cosmetics haul on their website (http://www.elfcosmetics.com) because I really wanted to pick up their large Stipple Brush which is never in stores.  I like to use this one for powder products, especially blush & bronzer.  You get free shipping if you spend $25 so I needed to add a few more things than just a brush to get free shipping.  

I didn't mind though, because I haven't been on their website in a long time & haven't really bought much makeup lately.  The bonus to this purchase with e.l.f. was their promo free gift with purchase at the time.  It was a 3-Piece "Travel Get Ready Set" which I feature first in this post.  This is one of the best features I like on e.l.f.'s website, they often have free gifts with purchase which makes you happy when you open up your e.l.f. package 😊.

International Delight One Touch Latte Creamer Review






Do you love your morning cup of coffee like I do?  Well... morning, noon, or night, it doesn't matter.  This is why I was thrilled when I was selected to sample the International Delight One Touch Latte Creamer through Crowdtap.

I also wrote a review on International Delight titled:  DIY Latte at Home
 

Pros: Adds froth & sweetness to your coffee
Cons: For me, I had trouble the first time getting it to foam
Uses:  For an at home latte experience with sweetness 





When I got it home, at first try, I couldn't get the product to come out foamy, so I shook the can a a little harder & longer, then it foamed the top of my coffee nicely.  I picked the International Delight One Touch Latte in Caramel.  

I added it to my normal cup of french-pressed coffee.  I didn't need to add any creamer or sugar, which is good because I do not like my coffee black.  Flavor is a GOOD thing.  I added a bit too much the first time, so the next time I just didn't hold the nozzle as long.  It depends on how you sweet you like your latte though, hold it longer for more sweetness, not as long for less sweetness. 




The directions were simple, it just said to fill your favorite mug 2/3 with hot coffee, shake the can, & press firmly for 5-10 seconds. 

I liked the foam on top and it mixed on it's own into the coffee getting flavor throughout.  It even left me with a little foamy mustache.  They offer 3 flavors, Caramel, Vanilla, & Mocha, & claims to make 7 lattes per can.  I want to try the Vanilla next.  I got mine at Walmart for $3.48.

This product was sponsored by International Delight® as part of a sampling activation for Crowdtap. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review.  Find out more here: https://www.internationaldelight.com/onetouchlatte
