I'm starting to become a fan of ELF. Their products are cheap but good. I fell In love with their powder brush and decided to try some more stuff of theirs. I like eyeliners like this for winged out looks, so I decided to give it a try. The first thing I noticed when I opened this eyeliner was the brush. It is so small and fine. I began to apply and noticed how easy the brush made it to make a perfect line and a winged out look. Another thing I noticed and loved was how intense the black color was. I felt real sexy with this one because the intense black and the winged out look really made my eyes pop! Now by the end of the day I did notice something that I did not like, It seemed to have faded and the winged out part was almost gone. Maybe I rubbed my eye without realizing or something but I wore it again the next day and I had the same results. So I noticed that it doesn't last very long. I'm going to keep trying out Elf products because they are so affordable but still good, although I may not re-purchase this one just because It doesn't last as long as I would like. Update: I have continued wearing this eyeliner and it is starting to come off my eyes by peeling off in pieces! I have never had an eyeliner do that to me! Maybe its drying up or something but I definitely wont re-purchase.

This makeup remover is very gentle and removes makeup easily. It even removes waterproof mascara although it still takes some work but it does the job. I wanted to try this after trying out the Neutrogena eye makeup remover Lotion, and although this is a good product I still prefer the lotion because this tends to leave a greasy residue around my eyes, while the lotion doesn't.

I got this mascara because I wanted a washable mascara that can hold my curl. The formula is more of a dry one and It actually does a descent job at holding the curl, and also provides nice length but It does't give me much volume because I find that it's a little hard to build up because it can start to clump. Another thing is that it kind of makes my lashes a little hard and brittle. But the brush does a good job at separating and it reaches all my lashes and I haven't had any problems with flaking or smudging. It's not that bad but it's not my favorite mascara. It's inexpensive I got it at Walmart for around 6 dollars but I will most likely just use it up and not repurchase.

I got this in "L*st for blush" (I put a * in for the "u" because I was told I could not use that word in the review but that is the name of the color!). I have a few different pinks in some other different lip products but I was searching for like a soft natural medium kind of pink that would be perfect for an everydaay look and this color was definitely what I wanted. "Blush" is a perfect way to describe this pink it is definitely like a blushy pink. It offers a hint of shine and moisturizes well. It feels light, not waxy or anything and the packaging is pretty with the cursive silver lettering. The only complaint I have is that it is not long lasting I definitely have to reapply a few times during the day, but I find that these types of lip products don't usually last long anyway so its not a real huge deal for me. I only got one because I wanted to see first how it felt and looked on my lips but I really love this color so I definitely will be trying out some of the other colors. I got this at Walmart for around 6 dollars so the price is nice too.

I got two of these in honey and cherish. They apply nice and smoothly and the colors a nicely pigmented. They really do stain your lips too I was wearing honey one day, and before I went to bed I washed my face off as usual and the next morning I woke up with some of the stain still on my lips! The smell is minty too its nice and they make your lips feel fresh. The only complaint I have is that I wish they had more colors, and it was hard for me to find a color that I liked because there is no way to actually see the product you just have to rely on the color the tube is, which I find is not totally accurate. Honey was actually a little darker then I thought and cherish was a little brighter, but its not a huge deal the colors are still nice. Other then that they are easy to apply, the way they look like jumbo crayons makes you feel like you are coloring your lips so its fun and convenient. I would really love for them to come out with more colors though because they really are long lasting!

I use a lot of waterproof mascaras because they hold my curl really well, but I find myself getting tired of the work it takes to remove it. Sometimes I just want to wash my face off and get to bed! I have lost lashes using waterproof mascaras a lot and I really wanted something healthy to get them growing and take a break from the waterproof ones, and preferably a drier formula mascara because they seem a little better at holding a curl then wet ones. This mascara really exceeded my expectations! I got this because I wanted something healthy for my lashes but I wasn't sure how great it would make them look. It is a dry formula and when I first applied it really surrprised me, it really makes my lashes voluminous and long with no clumping. When I finish applying I notice my lashes stay soft and flexible which I really like, The brush has so many fiber bristles that it works great for separating. This mascara can provide a natural look if you want it to but its buildable for a more dramatic look. I have worn this for a couple weeks and I really like it, the only thing I notice is that it does smudge a little bit when I'm out In the heat and sweating, but nothing too bad. It doesn't hold my curls as much as the waterproof ones but it actually doesn't make them go completely stick straight again like other mascaras have. Its actually the first non waterproof one I've used that doesn't make them really stick straight again so I was pleased about that. Its also inexpensive I got it at walmart for around 7 dollars. Over all it's great I am really enjoying this mascara and I plan to repurchase once it's done.

This is definitely a hit from Elf. I used a hard pencil before and I thought It was fine, But when I used this I realized how much the pencil sucked compared to it! This defines my eyebrows but leaves them natural looking still, the wax is great to fill any spaces and the powder is great to soften them a bit to look more natural and not like they are penciled on my face. I know some people complain about the brush but it really doesn't bother me. The packaging is professional looking as with all of Elf's studio line so It doesn't look cheap. I have like medium brown hair but for some reason my eyebrows are darker then my hair so I got this in Dark and its perfect. It doesn't budge for me unless my face gets wet or I'm really sweating, but its not like its waterproof. And one other thing that I really love is the price! 3 dollars for such a good product!

This mascara surprised me. I love mascaras that are buildable, and this is definitely one that you can build with little to no clumps. It provides nice length and volume, you can apply one coat for a natural look or multiple coats for a dramatic look. The brush has the traditional fiber bristles and it works great for separation. It is also long lasting, and it rarely ever smudges or flakes on me. The only time it smudged was when I cried once, but its not waterproof so that was expected. Also leaves my lashes light and soft I cant stand mascaras that weigh down my lashes and make them hard and brittle. I find that it does not always come all off with my facial cleanser but it comes off easily with a little makeup remover. But this is definitely a great mascara. Inexpensive too I believe it was around 6 dollars at Walmart.

I wanted to try this because it gets real good reviews, but I find that it is just ok. I got the color "gunmetal" and its a really pretty gray color with some shimmer in it. However the little brush it comes with makes it a little hard to make a nice thin straight line like I usually like to do, and I have always been real good at applying my eyeliner it's one of the things I often get compliments on but with this I have to work at it. Maybe I am just not used to it because I'm used to pencil eyeliners. If it was easier to apply I would really like it as an eyeliner. When I apply it, it actually ends up looking more like eye shadow, so I actually just use it as if it were a cream eye shadow and it looks really great for a smoky eye look. The packaging as with all of Elf's studio line is really sophisticated looking it doesn't look like it came from the drugstore. It has good lasting power too, I have been out with it and didn't fade or anything so overall its a pretty good product, as with most of Elf's products its really descent for the price. This cost me 3 dollars at Walmart.

I got two of these because I wanted something to wear on my lips for days that I wasn't going anywhere special and didn't feel like wearing lipstick. I love these as much as I love my EOS lip balm for moisturizing! However I use my EOS lip balm usually at night or when I'm in the house because its great to moisturize my lips, but for days that I need to step out but not going anywhere special I like to wear something that just gives me a hint of shine and color (which the EOS lip balm does not do) and these are perfect! I wanted one with a little bit of pink color so I got the Strike a Rose color, and another one that was more of a natural nude color so I got the Peach Kiss and they are both perfect for me. The don't really taste like anything but they smell real nice and they glide on nice and smoothly. Now they don't really last that long I have to re-apply quite a bit through the day, but honestly I didn't expect them to because they are just lip balms they are not like lip stains or a long wearing lip color, and its not something they promise so Its not a big deal to me. The name is cute and appropriate too "baby lips" because they do make your lips super soft. The packaging is nice too, they look like something a teenager might carry, but that's alright with me because they are too cute!
