ELF Blush Review (Eyes Lips Face)

Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder
With this product, I use the bronzer side to contour my face which means I use the dark colors to "shape" my face. When i'm feeling really pale (which is ALL the time) I just dust this over my cheeks for a bronzy glow!

I would just like to note that i have hit the bottom on the bronzer because i use it so much in my daily regimen. As for the blush it is a beautiful color! When i do use it i take an angled blush brush and apply it to the apples of my cheeks. As for the overall product, both powders are extremely pigmented (almost too pigmented) and very shimmery! which can either be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your personal preference!

ELF Mineral Blush
I purchased Bliss, Coral and Rose. On my fair/medium skin tone the Bliss was very natural and understated. Perfect for a really "barely there" makeup day. The Rose is quite bright - nice pigment. I love it and use it often. A little goes a long way. The Coral is a stronger more intense version of the Bliss. I love it as well for a really healthy beachy sun-kissed look.

This product works as well as the Bare Escentuals Mineral blushes - at a fraction of the cost. Same type of packaging - which is awesome for someone like me who travels a lot and NEVER checks bags.


Natural Radiance Blusher
I have glow and absolutely love it! The color is great on fair colored skin, not too pigmented, and slightly shiny/shimmery. Only downside is that the packaging is cheap plastic. It broke in my bag almost immediately and about half way through the blush powder fell out of the case and spilled all over. For the price, I can't complain much and would buy again, but would be careful when carrying it around. Super light though and great for travels!

Eyes Lips Face Studio Blush
I got three of these blushes in Peachy Keen, Tickled Pink, and Candid Coral. Peachy Keen is a pretty light peach color, Tickled Pink is a natural bright pink, and Candid Coral is a darker peachy pink color. All of them are very natural colored, but not too bright. Tickled Pink is pretty matte and Candid Coral and Peachy Keen have some shimmer but not anything overwhelming. Candid Coral is my favorite because it has the best color payoff and is the brightest. Overall I would recommend all three of these blushes because I love blushes that are natural looking like these.

ELF Mascara Reviews (Eyes Lips Face)

Regular & Waterproof Mascara Duo Review
It's a decent mascara at a great price. I remember reading an article about how often you should throw out your makeup, the wet ones go bad faster than the dry, and the ones around the eyes are the most troubling, so having such a cheap, good mascara means I can throw out the old stuff without feeling like I am wasting too much.

Last time, I ordered the mineral version (which is still cheap at 3 dollars) but I can't see that much of a difference. This one clumps a little more, but I have an eyelash separator I don't mind using.

ELF Mineral Infused Mascara Review
I really liked this mascara. The brush doesn't have long bristles, but it actually helped in the application by not clumping a bunch of mascara onto your lashes. They also stayed on all day long through work and dinner. At the end of the night, I did have some trouble removing it with my makeup remover (non waterproof one) but mainly because it started smudging onto my face. It wasn't bad at all though. I like how the short bristles of the brush separate out each of my lashes.

ELF Wet Gloss Lash & Brow Clear Mascara
I got this "mascara" thinking it would be good for my lashes, since clear mascara seems better for my lashes as they're already nice and dark. Both sides of the tube have the same type of product, the eyebrow brush is more rectangular-ish and the lash brush is a regular lash brush. It holds my brows perfectly in place though sometimes it feels like its weighing them down. For the eyelashes...it didn't really do much for me. Trying to make my lashes look different with the gel made my lashes begin clumping up, and because the brush is still clear, I ended up finding an eyelash stuck in between the bristles a few days ago (and TBH it freaked me out haha). Bottom line: great for brows, maybe try something else for lashes.

ELF Lengthening & Volumizing Mascara
To me this mascara is just an average mascara, nothing really special about it. On the positive side, it doesn't clump lashes, goes on smooth and evenly. It's easy to remove as well. If your going for a very natural look this might be good for you. I don't really care for the brush, I feel like not enough mascara goes on. For me I don't get enough volume and lengthening. I have to curl my lashes otherwise it looks droopy.

Waterproof Lengthening & Volumizing Mascara Review
The wand on this mascara is amazing. I love the way it applies. The bristles are far enough apart that you don't get those big globs and hunks. The bottle opening is small enough that when you remove the wand, you don't get excess gunk. I've used TONS of expensive mascaras. This one stands up to all of them. I can't believe the price. Two coats of this and my lashes are ready for the day! It stays put too! If anything, I sometimes I have trouble removing it all, but I won't hold that against them.

ELF Makeup Brushes Review

Elf Fan Brush - I have always searched for a fan brush but couldn't give in to paying the outrageous prices.

Then I found this brush, it is really great! I really only use it to remove excess makeup or to get rid of loose eyeshadow that has fallen on my cheeks, but it's perfect for the job!

Elf Blush Brush -I used to use the complexion brush as my blush brush, but it's really too big and ends up making my face look flushed all over. As much as I tried to keep the blush in the apples of my cheeks, it just wouldn't work. So I thought I'd try this brush out since I haven't been disappointed in any of the studio brushes. This is amazing! Its soft like the complexion and powder brush, but it is small and tapered so it sweeps the color right where I want it to go. And it's so soft, it doesn't irritate my sensitive skin (Yay!)

Elf Angled Foundation Brush 

I had always used disposable little sponges and hated having to keep buying new ones. I found this brush at a local store and bought it because of the good reviews I had read online. It gives pretty, natural coverage and lets me get to the areas in the corners of my eyes as well as close to my hairline.

Elf Kabuki Brush 

Overall, it's a great brush. Small, sleek, and very soft! In fact, when I compare this kabuki brush to my MAC kabuki brush, I almost can't detect any major differences. My only issue, however, is that the bristles aren't glued on properly and sheds like a madman! I've barely begun using this brush for less than a week and about 10% is already gone...

Elf Powder Brush 

This brush is amazing! I really fell in love with it and I couldn't imagine my life without it! ;) I use it to either buff in my mineral foundation or the studio concealer-highlighter. I have always had problems blending my under-eye concealer but using this brush, it does the job so well! I sometimes even use it to apply blush.

Elf Complexion Brush 

Considering the price, this brush is a great one to add to your collection. I'm a bit obsessed with brushes, as I have a ton of them, but I always find myself reaching for this one. I actually originally got this brush to be used with the Complexion Perfection powder. It works great, picks up product well and distributes evenly. Aside from performing well, this brush is very soft (a must for a good brush!). I also like the shape of the brush. If you don't own it already from head on it looks like a regular powder brush, but from the side it is flattened, which I have found is perfect for sweeping translucent powder under my eyes to keep my eye makeup from smearing. Again, a great brush to add to your collection!

Some flaws: This brush sort of attracts dust...although this usually happens with synthetic brushes in general. After washing this brush, it started to fan out a bit, and there has been a little fallout behavior. Its price makes up for its less-significant flaws.

Elf Concealer Brush 

A concealer brush is a must for me, and this is my new favorite. The brush is soft and makes your concealer application so simple. It deposits concealer evenly under my eyes and on my flaws. Easy to clean and non-shedding are other great features. The brush is a little too long in length - it could be shortened.Other than that, it's a perfect brush for me!

ELF Hypershine Gloss Review

ELF Hypershine Gloss 
I love this product! It feels so good on my lips. I have it in vixen and it is wonderful! I got flirt a few years ago, and I just now ran out. I meant to get that color again, but instead I bought vixen. They definitely changed the formula since I first bought flirt. It feels so good on my lips, I don't know how to describe it...it feels like the liquid lipsticks. Also, instead of being sticky and having a weird strawberry smell (which had a weird numbing effect on my mouth), as the old one did, it had a sweet cotton candy smell and made my lips feel so smooth. If you have tried this product out before and didn't love it, you should try it again- you'll love it now for sure.

ELF Super Glossy Lip Shine Review

ELF Super Glossy Lip Shine Spf 15 
These are great when matched up with the Mineral Lipglosses. I used Candlelight and the Mineral Lipgloss in Au Naturale #90109 for a creamy, tan-nude look and it looks great together. Pink Kiss and Pageant Princess are awesome on the lips. Beautiful shades of pink. I find that the Mineral Lipglosses tone down the frost that the Super Glossy Lipshines can have on the lips. And for some, the frost is not a favourite so adding the Mineral lipgloss helps. What a discovery! And the colors between the two are very, very close.

ELF Mineral Lipstick Review

ELF Mineral Lipstick
These lipsticks are very smooth and moisturizing. They feel like chap sticks but have hints of color. You have to do multiple swipes to get a good color on your lips. I got pouty petal, runway pink, and barely bitten. The pouty petal is a completely different color than it looks online. It is nothing like the light pink with a blueish undertone. It is almost like my natural lip color and looks more like the rosy raisin or the party pink or some combo of those two. Kind of disappointed with that but the other two colors are very nice.

ELF Moisturizing Lip Liner Review

ELF Feather Proof Moisturizing Lip Liner 
I like to use these lip liners all over my lip and then put a top coat of lip gloss on. The mauve luxe has a very small touch of shimmer so it doesn't look cakey on the lips (thank goodness!) The amount of shimmer in the natural blush isn't very visible to the eye unless you look super close, but it keeps it from looking too flat. The natural blush is great for pale skin...It won't last like a $15 pencil all day, but it gets me to lunch until I have to do touch ups. Well worth a dollar! The mauve luxe pencil is much smoother and softer than the blush pencil.

ELF Lip Liner Reviews

ELF Mineral Lip Liner
I like the liner. Colors are a bit off as compared to the swatches online. The only weird thing about this liner is that it is slightly sticky- or tacky- as if there is something added to ensure it stays in place. It tugs a bit during application, but is still soft and creamy... Hard to explain!

ELF Lip Definer & Shaper
The consistency of this product reminds me of a concealer, but when applied lightly on the lips, it did its job! I liked using this with my "nude lip" looks. If you know how to apply this properly, you can achieve a natural look or a very sexy pouty look. The pencil is pretty large so you get a lot of product (Yay!) Be excited.

ELF Lipliner & Blending Brush 
The color is very flattering and easy to blend, thanks to the blending brush on the other tip of the liner. I applied it to my cupid's bow and on in the middle of my bottom lip to make my lips really stand out. There's no scent, it's glided on smooth. Love it.

ELF Plumping Lip Glaze Review

ELF Plumping Lip Glaze 
There are two sides to this ELF plumping lip glaze; one clear and one colored. I love the color side of the stick! It's so pigmented the color is wonderful. However the plumping side stings a little bit after 5 minutes and it irritated my lips. Also there isn't a very good wiper to take off the excess amount of lip gloss from the applicator, so the cap gets really messy and causes a loss of product. All in all it's a good product, but you can definitely tell it is worth the money you pay. In my opinion I would probably try a different lip plumper elsewhere. 

ELF Liquid Eyeliner Review

I usually don't spend much money on beauty products so once I found the brand Eyes Lips Face (ELF) I got excited! I first found this makeup brand online at their website but I didn't want to pay their shipping prices. Finally Target started selling it and I went crazy buying a whole bunch of dollar items. I bought this ELF liquid eyeliner for $1 not expecting it to be amazing or anything.

The first time I used this ELF liquid eyeliner, the product itself was very smooth and shiny. It has a small tip for applying it to your eyes but it is not my favorite. I like to have a more flexible end to my liquid eyeliners instead of a stiff pointed one. I feel like I can't get a straight even line with this elf eye product so I haven't used it since the first time I bought it. On the other hand, one of my friends bought it and it's the only liquid eyeliner that she uses. I'd say give it a try, you'll only lose a buck! ;)
