E.L.F Brand cosmetics

I have heard several good things about this brand recently. It wasn't until the husband and I went to Target to find some liquid eyeliner for Halloween that I found out it could be purchased at a drug store. The prices shocked me. $1.00 for most things! I could have really bought a lot but I was good.

What I did get was The High Definition Powder, the Daily Brush Cleaner, a Matte Lip Color, and two different eyeliners.



 
I decided the try the eyeliners this morning. One on each eye. 
One is a liquid eyeliner. I do not really like applying these. The little tiny brush is fine, I do not like the wet feel of the eyeliner. The other is a waterproof eyeliner pen.(felt). I like they way this one applies a lot better. You can also get a smudged smokey look easier with the pen.

I have been wearing these for 2 hours and both have run under my eye. Not badly but there is some liner settled under my eyes. I did not set them with powder or anything. All I had on my face was Estee Lauder BB cream, so maybe that caused it to happen. This is the same problem I have with most liners. Thankfully these were just bought to draw on my kids face for Halloween.
I will stick with my Inglot gel liner.

Product Description- e.l.f. High Definition Powder
The e.l.f. High Definition Powder is a translucent, versatile loose powder that creates a flawless, "soft focus" effect to the skin. Masks fine lines and imperfections for a glowing, radiant complexion. This incredibly soft and invisible powder is ideal for everyday wear, either alone or over your favorite e.l.f. foundation. Our HD Powder is a makeup artist and e.l.f. customer favorite, and at only $6, it can be yours at a fraction of the cost of the competition.

I have been using this for several days and I really like the soft matte it gives my face. It seems to do exactly what is says it suppose to do. Can't beat the cost either! 

The brush cleaner works great. Pretty basic cleaner. Spray it on and swipe your brush on a cloth to clean it, let it air dry.

Product Description- Studio Matte Lip Color- Rich Red
This convenient jumbo sized lip pencil creates exact color application with twist up ease so you never have to sharpen. The pigment rich color glides on effortlessly and easily to provide long lasting matte color. The enriched Vitamin A, C & E formula moisturizes and hydrates lips for beautiful healthy looking lips.








I like Matte lip colors better because I do not tend to lick and rub my lips together as much with them. This brand lasts  several hours even with me drinking fluids constantly. I look forward to purchasing more colors.

    1. Thank you! Red is a scary color to wear. This was my first time. I usually go for more earth tones. I enjoyed wearing it.
