Today's post is all about one of my fave brands of make-up. E.L.F. (Eyes Lips Face Cosmetics) can be purchased at Target or on their website. I have also heard of people finding this line at grocery stores or other random places, but I always just go to Target to get mine.
This line of cosmetics is super affordable - generally most items are around the $1-$6 range. I have not tried everything in this line, and I have definitely tried some things that were crap, but a lot of it is really good stuff! Here are a few of my faves:
The small stippling brush ($3 part of the studio brush collection) is amazing! I love using it for cream blushes. I really like all of the brushes I have tried both in the studio and regular collections. I would also recommend their crease brush and the general eye shadow brush. So affordable and they really do hold up well.
The Studio Collection Warm Bronzer, $3, is an awesome bronzer! You can use it all over your face, you can use it as eye shadow AND you can use the lightest shade as a highlighter. Seriously awesome product for $3. It comes in other shades but I really like this one.
This is probably one of their most popular/most talked about/most reviewed products of all time. This is the Studio Collection Contouring Blush and Bronzer in St. Lucia, $3. This is a dupe for NARS's blush/bronzer duo in Orgasm and Laguna which is around $40 or so (not sure if they still sell it in that color combo or not, but each blush from NARS is around $28 so you are still getting a steal at only $3). This combo from E.L.F. comes in other colors and in a cream formula but this is my fave. The bronzer isn't totally matte, so I don't think I would do a hard core contour with this, but for everyday it's perfect!
I am absolutely in love with this product! It's the lip exfoliator and it also retails for $3. This is so great to exfoliate your lips before doing a bold lip color or to do weekly as a treat! It smells sweet, but not sickly sweet and it doesn't over power you either. Once you wipe it off the smell is gone. I use this after I wash my face and I take the product and rub all over my lips (like you would a lip stick) and rub in little circular motions, then when I am done I take a corner of the wash cloth I used to wash my face and wipe off my lips. Done and done. Then I always follow it up with lip balm.
Okay this might be one of the best products in the collection. It is the E.L.F. essential eyelid primer, $1. And this is awesome. I mean seriously awesome. Its $1 and it really helps keep your shadow on all day. While I wouldn't say it's an exact dupe for Urban Decay's primer potion, its darn close and its $1. Let me say that again, its $1, one measly little dollar. Compare that to $20 or more for the high end brands, and you can get this primer (plus everything else in this blog post) and have a lot of spare change left over.
An honorable mention here is the eye lash curler. Also $1, and it is as good, if not better than the Sephora and Shu Umera ones combined. Try it, you will not be disappointed.
What are your faves from the line?
