I always look forward to all the Holiday parties, events and festivities that we always enjoy going to during the Holiday Season. It's so much fun to pamper myself a little, kick up my beauty routine a notch, taking a little extra time to give myself a more glamorous, glistening "look" and trying out new makeup to make myself feel special. It is fun to indulge in bringing the fantasies I have about how I want to dramatize my look and bring it to life by playing up my makeup more than I normally do for all the holiday events. If you want to update your makeup and add some really fine quality makeup products to your beauty aresenal that even the most budget conscious person can afford, then e.l.f. cosmetics is for you. Recently e.l.f. has been featured in Glamour and InStyle magazines, just to name a few, and is fast becoming a favorite of everyone's! And, you can find everything from head to toe to make yourself look your personal best, even bath and body products, how nice!

We at e.l.f. believe that innovative technology, quality ingredients and superb delivery systems should not be limited to prestige retailers. Every woman should have the opportunity to participate in innovation, without sacrificing her budget. Our cosmetics are designed to improve and accentuate the individual, not hide her away.
Launched in 2004 and guided by celebrity and beauty professional Scott-Vincent Borba, e.l.f. is a revolutionary new beauty company, able to provide a line of cosmetics that moisturize, hydrate, and enliven your complexion without taxing your budget.
We are often asked how we are able to provide our customers with such wonderful products, many for as little as $1.

•An all-in-one compact including the must have makeup essentials, in mini, medium and large sizes!
•Create any look that reflects your personal style
•The small sleek design is great for on the go beauty touchups
I used the following (below) 5 e.l.f. products to create an amazing soft, beautiful look for myself. I couldn't believe how collaboratively they created a very feminine, subtle shimmery look on me that I had never experienced seeing myself with before. These are colors that I normally would not have thought of choosing for myself, but now that I see how they look on me, I realize what I have been missing out on! I am so in love with how well the colors work for me, that I plan to wear them for Thanksgiving Day as well as several other holiday events I am going to over the next several weeks. I feel very confident with the way this ensemble of colors look on me, so much so that the first day I tried all the products together I couldn't wait to get in the car and go somewhere because I hadn't felt that "pretty" in a long time! You can create the this same look for yourself and they are so easy to apply:
Mineral Lipstick in the NEW Gorgeous Natural Nymph Color! Price $5.00
Now you can hydrate your lips and get a lasting soft color naturally! This nourishing blend of exotic oils, natural waxes, vitamins and plant extracts create the perfect moisturizing formula. The sleek lipstick has superior color payoff, glides easily onto lips, and is long wearing. Lips stay perfectly hydrated and soft throughout the day for no fuss, lip loving happiness. All our mineral makeup is 100% mineral based with no parabens, no preservatives and no chemical dyes.
Apply to lips and blend in color for lip hydration. Re-apply as often as desired.
Mineral Eyeshadow Primer in the Color Sheer
Preps your eyelid for smoother, longer-lasting and crease-proof eyeshadow. The ultra sheer nude color works to increase eye color longevity. The lightweight liquid formula quickly absorbs into the skin for comfortable wear.
Apply a thin coat to the eyelid and blend in. allow formula to dry before applying eyeshadow.
Comments: I have never used an eyeshadow primer before. I wasn't aware of how much I needed it until I used this one! It did indeed keep my eyeshadow in place all day. My eyeshadow did not crease like it has before. This product is lightweight, is simple to apply and does what it is supposed to do. I will use it all the time now.
Mineral Eyeshadow in the Glamorous Trendy Color! Price $3.00
Bring a touch of natural beauty to your eyes with these soft, translucent shades that add subtle highlights for daytime or increased drama for night. With key vitamins A & B, these eyeshadows hydrate and minimize the appearance of fine lines. Available in an array of light-reflecting color options they can be worn wet or dry, together or alone, for countless shimmering styles and trends. The all natural consistency makes them incredibly easy to apply and blend for a flawless finish. All our mineral makeup is 100% mineral based with no parabens, no preservatives and no chemical dyes.
Shake the Natural Mineral Eyeshadow back and forth to get the excess powder loose into the tray. Gently glide the powder onto eyelids with finger or the Eyeshadow Brush.
Wow, I was aware of e.l.f. Cosmetics before but I had no idea what a wide a selection of products they offered or how many color choices were available in them until I worked on this review. They are fabulous products and so reasonably priced you can afford to try out colors you may never have used before and unleash the inner makeup artist that exists within you. I am not aware of any other cosmetic line around that are as wonderful to use and as inexpensive as the products at e.l.f. and that is why they made it onto my Holiday Gift Guide list this year. I am so excited about how they worked for me, and how lovely they made me look, that I want to shout it out to everyone and spread the word. I highly recommend them for either giving as holiday gifts this year or using them as stocking stuffers. Or, how about treating yourself to a few new makeup items so you can have fun reinventing your "look" and redefining your makeup routine, I know that is exactly what I did, and boy did I have fun! You can really fill up your shopping cart online at e.l.f. or run to your local Target or Zellers and splurge on whatever e.l.f. products you want because they will not make a dent in your wallet if you do, that I promise! Let me fill you in on the amazing e.l.f. company:

Oh my goodness did e.l.f. send me a package of fantastic products to review. With the items they sent me, the possibilities of different looks I can create for myself is only limited by my own imagination. It is with such enthusiasm and excitement that I share with you my experiences and feeling about these products:

My Review: I love that this easily fits onto my bathroom counter and takes up about as much room as a bar of soap. It is also the perfect size to use for when you travel, just think you can have 27 different colors and products with you when you are away from home in something small enough to fit in your purse, so convenient! It is filled with very generous size colors, they are not sample sizes. There is such a lovely variety of colors, that you can create an unlimited amount of different looks for yourself simply by blending different color combinations together. You can become your own makeup artist, and create everything from soft natural looks to dramatic smokey eyed looks. When I looked down at all the colors the wheels in my mind started turning faster and faster as I thought about all the different color combinations I could put together. I look forward to using this now everyday because I can't wait to see what new colors I can experiment with together to see how it can make me look different each day. I don't think I can ever get tired of seeing how I can evolve myself and I think the people around me everyday will continue to be surprised at how each day I look different and I can keep them guessing on what I will do with myself next! I like having that versatility with this amazing color collection.
The kit is designed so you can quickly access the products for your eyes, the eye shadows are located in the left portion of the box, your lips where all the lips colors are on the right side and your face colors are found in the center of the kit. There are shimmery colors and matte colors which gives you options for all kinds of special effects depending on what mood you feel like creating for yourself. I had so much fun playing around with all my choices! You can even line your eyes with the cute little eye liner pencil that is included or enhance your brows with the brown brow powder. You also receive the tools so you can apply all these products, how cool is that?!
I think this makes the perfect gift for your best friends, your sister, your mother, your co-workers, I can't think of a woman who wouldn't want to receive this. That's why it is one of my favorite Holiday Gift Giving Guide picks.
I was also really pleased with the quality of the products. The coverage is natural, the colors glide on easily and effortlessly. I did not encounter any issues with the colors clumping or creasing, they stayed on nicely all day long each time I used them.
This collection is jammed packed with gorgeous colors that are classic and perfect for everyday use, as well as nighttime more glamorous uses. There are no funky colors in here that you are going to be disappointed in, you will find ways to incorporate all the colors into your daily beauty routine. This collection packs a power punch for $15.00 and I can't wait to see what it will help me to look like tomorrow, each day a new surprise!

Comments: This lipstick feels really nice on the lips, not sticky at all. Rich texture on my lips, moisturizing and a very subtle and pretty color. I love the way it works (looks) with the rest of the products below.
