Elf Beauty Bundle September

Above you'll find my unboxing video of my Elf Beauty Bundle. (It's pretty long, mostly cause of my introduction) I ordered this around the first of the month and received it September 9. After I placed my order within a few hours I was sent a shipping email. So they ship very fast. This is because everyone gets the same things in their bag. The bags ship out every 8 weeks. When I ordered mine it was towards the end of the 8 week cycle, so I received what everyone received in August. I was kind of disappointed with that, and hoped I'd get something different.
But I didn't. =) So here's a list of stuff I received, and how much it cost.

Baked Eye shadow palette "Texas" $10
Glitter Eye shadow primer $2
Natural Lash Kit $1
Moisturizing Lip Stick "Party in the Buff" $3
Contouring Blush and Bronzing Cream "St. Lucia" $3
Mineral Booster "Sheer" $8
Mineral infused Face Primer "Clear" $6
3 in 1 Base, Top & Strengthener $2
Kabuki Face Brush $6
Total amount for this bundle is $41. I paid $27.99

Out of all these products, I'll probably use the blush/bronzing cream, the 3 in 1 polish, face primer, kabuki brush, and the lipstick the most. So I've put aside the mineral booster, glitter eye shadow primer and the lashes for a possible give away in the future. Yes I opened the Booster powder but just to sample the powder, and then I sealed it back up. The other two things have never been opened. So later on after I receive a few more bags, together with other stuff I might not want, I think this will make a good give away.
The stuff was packaged well, except for a couple things which I show in the video. The blush/bronzing duo and the eye shadow palette was packaged very nicely. It's very smooth and sleek looking. Doesn't look cheap at all. Same goes for the face primer.

So was this worth it? Yes and No, for me. If you're ok with getting the same thing everyone else that subscribes gets, and paying $27.99 every 8 weeks, not knowing if you're gonna get a color that's for your skin tone.. then Go for it! For me this is a no. I'm also subscribed to Ipsy, Lip Monthly, and Lip Factory, 2 out of those three allow you to take a quiz asking what your hair color is, skin tone, etc. Elf doesn't offer this, so you might get colors that don't work with your skin tone. So I'd rather stick with the companies that go somewhat by my looks, and what I like. Videos coming soon of those. (As soon as I get them! lol)
