When on the hunt for my new products to add to my
beauty collection I think of two things, how cheap is the product and is the
brand good quality? Luckily, last year I discovered the makeup line E.L.F
(which stands for eyes.lips.face). Elf not only has affordable products
(usually $1-$6) but also good quality products. Below are my E.L.F beauty
steals that I have collected over the last year. All opinions are my own and
each product experience is unique for different people.
EYES
1) Liquid Eyeliner ($1)
This is a must have product. It is not
only easy to create a thin line but also build up the product to create a thick
line. This is a perfect liquid liner for
beginners and pros, easy to apply and correct any mistakes. The only problem I
have found with this product is after 5 hours or so it starts to rub off and
you may feel the need to reapply. It is easy to take off with makeup wipes at
the end of the day. Overall this is an amazing product I will buy over and
over.
2)
Mineral
Eyeshadow primer ($3)
If you have been cursed with oily lids like I have
this is the perfect primer for you. I find without a primer my eyeshadow stays
halfway through the day (around 5 hours), creasing afterwards. After using this
product, my eyeshadow stays for about 10 hours, not creasing a bit. This
product is best used on a day-to-day basis. This product keeps my eyeshadow in
place all day. You will definitely find me buying this product in the future.
3)
Eyelash
Curler ($1)
Unfortunately my eyelashes
grow straight out so I am always trying to find ways to keep my eyelashes
curled. Once applying 2 coats of mascara, I whip this bad-boy out, hold the
curler on my eyes for 10 seconds and voila! Perfect for that extra oomph you
need to finish off your makeup look. And did I mention it was only $1!
FACE
4)
Tone
Correcting Concealer ($1)
Diamonds are considered girl’s best friend and dog
man’s best friend. I consider concealer my best friend. Concealer can work
wonders and can be used for many different purposes. You can correct those
unwanted blemishes, under eye circles, red marks, and dark spots. Once blended,
you will have a flawless face. The problem I usually run into is the formula
caking on my face but this formula is perfect. Coming in 7 colors, there is a
shade for everyone to be content. This product is also best used on a daily
basis.
5)
Studio
High Definition Powder ($6)
Though I just
picked up this product a week ago, I can assure you it is well worth the $6
dollars. At first I was a little weary to buy this product due to it being the
most expensive E.L.F product I have bought. Not only does your skin feel like a
baby’s butt after application, you can tell your face looks glowing and
radiant, with or without foundation underneath.
LIPS
6)
Essential
Lip Stain ($2)
Though I
have only tried the Essential Lip Stain in Pink Petal, I have fallen in love.
This lip stain stays on for about 3 hours. You can build up coverage by
starting with light, almost sheer pink, and ending with a bubblegum pink. This
product does dry your lips out so I pair it with Burt’s Bees Pink Blossom
Tinted Lip Balm. If you are more daring, you could try Essential Lips Stain in
the color Nude Nectar (Orangey Red color), Berry Blush (Berry Plum color), and Crimson
Crush (Deep Red color)
All in all, E.L.F is a quality brand with quality
products. Around half my makeup supply is E.L.F but I just shared my favorite
beauty steals in each category today.
