E.L.F. Review








So being a stay at home mom and only having one income sometimes you got to go with drugstore makeup. This land of makeup is always a hit or miss it seems for everyone. ELF is one of those really low price point brands that I love somethings and others not so much but I will always give them a try. Today I have their $1 mascara and their $3 cream eye shadow.


Now I  must say I was a bit skeptical about the mascara, I mean come on for a dollar what can you expect right. Well I was pretty pleased with it after some playing around with it. For my lashes the brush did separate them and the mascara did cover lash from root to tip. But I did find I have to clean the brush of quiet a bit to be able to get it to work with out clumping. After the cleaning off some of the product it worked wonderfully. This product didn't flack of during the day or smudge at all for me and it washed off easily too. In the picture you can see all the product i have to clean off in order to not get a clumpy look, but that is my only complaint.


Cream eye shadow in the color Dawn. So far I have used this just as a base to intensify my other shadow. Its lasted pretty well through out the day with or with out a primer. The color pay off is not great unless you layer but once again not something I'm to terribly turned off by. I haven't worn it on its own yet so I don't know how it would stand up but I believe it would do well on its own. 

What Elf products do you enjoy? What Elf products do you not enjoy?
