e.l.f. Beauty Bundle - Naturally Beautiful! (March 2014)

The latest Beauty Bundle has arrived!  This box's theme is "Naturally Beautiful!"   I subscribed to the e.l.f. (eyeslipsface) beauty bundle for 1 year (they let you prepay), and I was curious if I had timed it right so that I would get the next bundle and not the previous one.  Even the day I ordered it I saw people with new youtube videos of the previous bundle.  But I went for it and hoped I would be one of the first with the new bundle so I would be surprised when I dug into my little black drawstring bag.  I posted about all of that here.  Anyway, I timed it will and I got the latest beauty bundle yesterday!  :)  Time for my $40 worth of full sized beauty products!!

It came in the beauty bundle box with their beauty bundle bag wrapped in hot pink tissue paper (the bag is under the products here):

Very exciting!  Here is what the bundle contained:

• 6-Piece Geometric Eyeshadow Palette ($3)
• Eyeshadwo Primer in Sheer ($3)
• Mineral Eye Liner in Ash ($3)
• Wet Gloss Lash & Brow Clear Mascara ($1)
• Natural Volumizing Mascara ($5)
• Mineral Lipstick in Natural Nymph ($5)
• Mineral Infused Face Primer ($6)
• 22-Piece Mini On the Go Palette ($10)
• Eye Shadow Brush ($1)
• Lotion Wipes ($3)

If you add the total up, it comes out to exactly $40, just as advertised!

This image has the Naturally Beautiful card in it, too.  Each Beauty Bundle comes with a card describing the theme and each of the items and their value.

The mineral lipstick, eyeshadow primer, volumizing mascara, and eye liner in their boxes:

I am really looking forward to trying more of the items from the mineral line.  I typically buy the essential items when I am traveling and need something quick because I forgot it or it I am bored and want to entertain myself by trying something new (in the hotel where I can immediately wash it off if it looks bad).

The two $1 items from the essential line:

I have never tried the clear mascara and brow mascara, but it will be fun to play with.  I typically like dark mascara though although playing with makeup is always fun so who knows what i will do with this one - translation:  I will probably try it!  I have a bunch of elf brushes.  I have one of these essential eyeshadow brushes that I use when I travel because I like the sleeve they come in and I won't mind messing it up or losing it although at home I use brushes from the studio line.

I have geometric eyeshadow palettes from elf and one is actually in my regular rotation for eyeshadow.  I will probably make this one a travel one though since it's smaller.  I tried the lotion wipes and they actually did a pretty decent job of moisturizing.  I might take these to work and use them if I feel dry at the office.  I have a lot of lotion at home so I feel like i wouldn't use them if I kept them there.

Since I travel a lot, I previously purchased one of these palettes because I thought it would be fun to play with when I travel.  It has 10 eyeshadow shades, 5 lip colors, and 3 blushes.  There is also a tiny mascara.  I used it this past week when I was out of town and used the pink eyeshadows and the blush.  I used the lip colors in the airport and ended up mixing them to get a custom color.  I didn't really like the tiny brush, but it worked and was conventient in the palette.  I have not tried the mascara, but I can imagine that it would be good on the go.  Now that I have two of these, I might take the new one to work.
