Pros: Long Lasting, Versatile, Good Value, Easy To Apply

Best Uses: Daily Use

Describe Yourself: Natural Style

This matte finisher doubles your nail polish wardrobe. I was about to buy a matte finisher from another brand, but luckily elf came out with one that was 1/8 of the price!!

I find that it makes my nail polish last so much longer than if I used a shiny top coat. I really love this product.

These were the first brushes I bought, and let me say that I'll never need to look elsewhere for brushes!! For the price of a single designer brush, I have a full set of quality, non-shedding brushes. They smell a little funny when you first get them, but once you wash them, the smell goes away.

All these brushes are amazing! When I got my package, one of the brushes was damaged and elf customer service quickly sent me another one to make up for it!

ELF is amazing!! Thanks for making quality items for reasonable prices:)

Pros: Moisturizing, Convenient Container, Great Color Selection, Glossy Finish, Even Application

Cons: Wears Off Easily, Not True To Color

Best Uses: Daytime, Going Out, Special Occasions, Everyday Use

Describe Yourself: Natural Style

I love the colors available. There is something for everyone. I have most of the lighter colors and I'm super impressed with Natural Nymph and Cool Coral. They are great colors.

Application is really smooth. The finish isn't glossy, but it isn't matte either. It feel really nice on the lips.

The online swatches are nothing like what the colors are in real life. I'd suggest looking up swatches on blogs and youtube, which is what I did.

My Review of Mineral Infused Mascara

Originally submitted at EyesLipsFace.com

Mineral Infused Mascara creates fuller, healthier looking lashes. It enhances lashes for a naturally thicker and more volumized look. The long-wear formula and unique silicone brush creates clump free and defined lashes that last all day.


great for definition, but not thickening

5out of 5

Pros: Defines & Separates, Lengthens, Applies Evenly, Doesn't Clump, Great Brush

Cons: No volume

Best Uses: Daytime

Describe Yourself: Natural Style

This is a great mascara if you're looking for definition. If you want voluminizing power, this is not for you. The brush is nice. It defines and separates my lashes nicely and the color is nice and dark. I often use this as a base with another mascara on top that has a thickening formula for extra oomph. But during the day, I can use this and get a natural look.

I think this is good for daytime. But if you want something more dramatic, this definitely won't cut it.

My Review of Liquid Eyeliner

Originally submitted at EyesLipsFace.com

No more tugging or pulling on your eyelids with this easy glide liquid eyeliner. The smudge-proof liner is rich in color, creating a long lasting defined look. The fine tip brush creates easy and precise definition for natural or dramatic effects.


some colors are good, others not to much

4out of 5

Pros: Easy To Apply, Long-Lasting, Bold Color, Doesn't Run, Easy Removal, Glides On Smoothly

Cons: Bad Color, Clumpy

Best Uses: Smoky Look, Going Out, Everyday, Thin Defined Line, Thicker Line

Describe Yourself: Natural Style

Let me make something clear. Some of these colors are great! Other are horrible. For example, the black and midnight ones are fabulous. The color is nice and opaque. You don't need to go over it more than once to get a nice line. I don't have the coffee one.

The plum and ash ones are horrible. The colors are streaky and not very pigmented. I was really disappointed in the ash one, because it was an extremely light grey that hardly showed up on my fair skin.

The sparkly ones were completely horrible. I'm biased, because I didn't think the eyeliner was clear with sparkles. I thought there was a color base in there, but it's basically clear with glitter in them, so you need some kind of other color underneath to make them look good.

The applicator was pretty decent. A little stiff, so you need to know how to use liquid eyeliner to start with. It's not easy for beginners to manipulate this wand. But it can give you a nice thin line, or a thicker one if you want that.

Overall, the opaque colors are the best in my opinion!

Nice colors!

I think this is amazing since most of elf's eyeshadows are shimmery. I like that these are matte. However, you need to use a good primer for these to show up and last. Without that, they will fade really fast.

The product is quite small, but the size is comparable to the mineral eyeshadows. Not a whole lot of product since they are in loose form.

nice, but all the colors look the same

While I think the concept for this product is really interesting, I don't think elf achieved the effect. When you apply the product, all the colors look the same. There's not difference between then on the skin.

That said, the shimmer is really nice and subtle. There's no obvious glitter unlike other highlighters. You can also use these as a base or a layered lip gloss for a multidimensional effect.

I think this is great! I just wish the colors were more obviously different!

I love this primer. Very easy to use. I love the silicone feel. The packaging can definitely be improved. It's hard to get the product out of the bottom of the bottle since the pump doesn't reach the product that sticks to the side of the bottle. I think elf should repackage this in a squeeze tube so we don't waste any of this goodness :)
