Makeup

So I wanted to share the new makeup website I found out about recently. It is called E.L.F, and stands for Eyes Lips Face. Some of you have heard me talk about it before, but I wanted to give my review in case someone is considering buying any makeup. Their claim to fame is all makeup is $1, and some of the multi-step items and accessories are anywhere from $5-20, still a good price.

After browsing their website, www.eyeslipsface.com, I found they have a fairly extensive selection of makeup and skincare accessories. They have a great choice of colors in eyeshadow, lipstick, blush and nail polish. Please remember actual colors may vary slightly from what is shown on your computer, but overall the colors are pretty close.

I placed an order on May 7th for a total of $34, which included shipping. I purchased nail polish, makeup brushes, makeup bags, false eyelashes and eye color. Apparently E.L.F. is a hot new idea because the web page took a while to load and it said my order may be delayed due to heavy volume. I also searched www.retailmenot.com for a 50% coupon on shipping!

I finally received my order on May 28th and only three items were back ordered. I called the company and they were going to refund my money, but the items were available to they shipped them out and I received them within two days. I'm very happy with the items I purchased and they are constantly adding new items. They do not test on animals and they mostly rely on word-of-mouth advertising to keep costs down.

I'm very impressed with their makeup brushes. I purchased a nice Kabuki brush for $1, and it looks to be the same quality as the $45 brush I've been eyeballing at Sephora! E.L.F. also does not charge your credit card until your order is being shipped, which I prefer.


I haven't tried all my new makeup goodies yet, but I'm optimistic it will be fantastic. Happy Shopping Ladies!
