As many of you may or may not know, e.l.f. is a very affordable brand of makeup that's great for today's economy, but I know many of my friends come and say things like, "Okay, every thing's a dollar...what's wrong with it?" I find this funny because e.l.f. makeup is actually very high quality, so why is it a so cheap? Let me explain. e.l.f. or eyeslipsface is a company that does all it's packaging, labeling, and such in one place, versus the more expensive companies like Revlon or MAC that ship their products everywhere and anywhere for that sort of service. Also, putting aside how expensive it is to ship all of that, e.l.f. packages their makeup in the most basic packaging they can, durable, but cheap. Not that their containers are ugly, or break easily, it's just they won't be as attractive as say, the neat design Urban Decay puts their primer potion in. I personally think their packaging is better than some I've seen, and their makeup is amazing. I have stocks of it in my makeup box, and I use it often. My favorite has got to be their limp plumper, it's amazing, BEST LIMP PLUMPER I HAVE EVER HAD! So good in fact, my mom steals it on a daily basis and I have to hunt for it when I want to use it. Also, their brushes are marvelous. I got a studio kabuki brush from them in my first haul, and it's the most amazing thing! It's soft, pretty, and easy to handle, I use it to apply their mineral booster, which I highly recommend. My sister- who is an aspiring makeup artist- likes it as well, and after seeing my stash, she's now a regular costumer. I have to say out of e.l.f., the only products I've had that I didn't like were all concealers. Their concealers aren't very good at all, which is bad for me because I have horrible under eyes. I ordered their mineral concealer, the tone correcting concealer, and their under eye concealer and highlighter. None of them worked well for me, but I do have something good to say about one of their concealer products. I got an eye primer & line sealer in natural/clear and it absolutely eliminated the purple on my under eyes. I added a bit of yellow concealer from Physician's Formula with my pinky and any trace that I stay up past 3am (Which I do most of the time) was gone. Also, I have many positive things to say about their duo eyeshadow creams. My family has extremely oily skin, and because of that most cream shadows crease or clump and are too heavy. I was amazed with e.l.f. cream shadows because they go on easily - I can use a brush, sponge, or even a finger - and are great when I'm in a hurry, and that's saying something. Even powder shadow creases a bit on me but this stuff, not once has it creased on me! I have three colors in them, and they all look wonderful, and the best part, they stay on. One last product I must talk about is their studio mattifying powder. I use it all the time, and while it goes on heavy it's easily blended and deletes redness and those big nasty pores. I love using it for pictures but there is one bad con. Whenever you have peely skin it highlights it and makes it look awful! Saying so, I think I'll have to stay away from mine for a bit and stick with my regular pressed powder until my sunburn peels wear off.
