e.l.f. Cosmetics Review

e.l.f. Cosmetics Review

Eyes, Lips, Face

I rarely wear makeup. I am not very good at applying it.. and most times I end up looking like a clown. Over the last few months, I have made a resolution of sorts to learn the art of applying makeup. I have visited blogs, watched videos, and even make a trip to a local makeup store to get some one on one instruction. Of course.. Miss Serenity is a natural.. and makeup artist in the making. No really.. she told me so! Anyway. I was in contact with e.l.f. Cosmetics so they could further help me explore my girly side and they offered me some great products to review!!

Eyes, Lips, Face [e.l.f.]

“e.l.f.’s philosophy is that beauty comes from within and it’s our goal to enable every woman to look and feel her personal best through the perfect blend of both the inner and outer person. With that goal in mind, e.l.f. cosmetics was born – a line of simple, luxurious, problem-solution tools that allow you to showcase and believe in your unique, personal beauty. Our cosmetics are designed to improve and accentuate the individual, not hide her away.” — e.l.f.

Okay, so we created a short little video.. this is NOT my review.. but Serenity is in love with makeup.. so I thought we would put together a little video of my makeup artist. Enjoy!

What did we really think?

Wow! There is so much to take in with this brand that I can in no way do it in just one post! As I mentioned earlier in this post, I am new to makeup and am still learning the do and don’ts of products. The e.l.f. website is soooo full of inf you could literally spend hours exploring! So far, my favorite feature is the “makeup tips” section. There are easily hundreds of tips for you from bad breath solutions to dark eye circles.  Of course just about any celebrity you can think of has been spotted at some point praising e.l.f..

Sooooo…. I spent some time messing around with their makeover feature.. ahhh.. it’s a hoot! Really.. you must try it. You simply upload a straight on photo and experiment with hairstyles and makeup. What did I pick?

We were given the opportunity to try out some of the products. As I searched the site, I noticed that the prices were reasonable… I mean $1 lip color, eyeshadow and nail polish. Really?! As hard as I tried.. I could not find a price that was too high in comparison to makeup stores.. or even department brands. My first thought was that lower prices equal lower quality, but I was willing to try it out.

We received an eyeshadow duo in Blueberry, Length and Volumizing Mascara , and french manicure colored nail polish . Honestly, we loved it all! The eyeshadow color was not as intense as I would have expected from such a deep blue, which makes me wonder about other deeper shades. The mascara was great. It was the perfect combination of waterproof and washable. You could remove it easily with soap and water and without tons of scrubbing and burning eye. I am still working on the art of the french manicure.. but overall the polish was bright and long lasting.

Yes my friends.. I loved e.l.f. soooo much that I became an affiliate. So, if you are interested in checking it out and possibly making a purchase, please click my little link above.
