E.l.f

Has anyone tried any E.L.F Products? I have been wanting to order from them but would like some feedback first.

Re: E.l.f

yes i have tried their e/s , foundation and lipglosses but I did not like any of them. their e/s are chalky and has no pigmentation at all. Really cheap quality ...after its for a buck so i did not expect much. But I love their brushes... for that price they're too good.

Re: E.l.f

Thanks. They have some new creme shadows. Maybe I will order them. I am not familiar with working with cremes. So it may be a good starter tool.

Re: E.l.f

i actually got a chance to try out the shadows this weekend, and mine are actually quite pigmented. I got sage, golden, mocha, and periwinkle. It could also be the top layer tho, a lot of cheap makeup seems to have a very pigmented top layer and just filler at the bottom.

Re: E.l.f

I really like the shadows and the cover stick is ok. It covers real well, the only thing I dont like is that they only have a couple of colors.

Re: E.l.f

The individual eye shadows are pretty good. The best thing though is the empty quad palette. It'll fit your MAC, Urban Decay, Milani shadows and it's much cheaper than the MAC version. Plus it comes with a mirror.

Re: E.l.f

I like the palette, the glosses, and some of the brushes. I just got the new creme shadows and a nail polish so I'm excited to try them. For $1 each I think everything is worth trying, and they usually have sale codes too.

Re: E.l.f

I buy the palettes from there, but I find that everything else isn't worth more than the $1 they cost.

Re: E.l.f

I've bought one of almost everything they offer as they sell it at my local K-Mart. The brushes are great, though the blending brush is a bit...rough. I wouldn't suggest using the all over color sticks. I haven't been very pleased with those. Their shadows aren't bad, their glosses are nice. My favorite of all of their products has to be their eyelash curlers (which work just as well as a set I got at ulta for $20 O.O) and their makeup/eye makeup remover pads. For $1 per item it's really easy to buy one of everything and not feel disappointed if some of the stuff isn't incredible.

Re: E.l.f

I like the lippies, the all over face color, and the shimmering facial whip. I didn't like the e/s quad (no pigmentation at all) but I tried it on without a primer.

Re: E.l.f

i order from them about every so often. just did a $30 haul..that 30 products!!

i stock up on the basics like their duo clear brow/lash gel. spice lipliner (pretty close dupe of macs spice liner! ) black eyeliners and bunch of glosses to toss in my purse and some brushes. i mean its a buck..you get what you pay for. i've never tried their actual face stuff though. but give it a try. you're not losing much if you dont like the products.

Re: E.l.f

actually..the only thing I like from my ELF order are my brushes...
the gloss- too sheer
the lipbalm- one just crumbles when you use it..the other it goes on white..
I guess you get what you pay for.

Yes, I love their eyelash curler. And I use their brushes as well.

Re: E.l.f

you get what you pay for. but the brushes, WOW. i love them! they should be worth more than $1. their eyelash curler didn't work great for me, but like i said, you get what you pay for. If you are on a budget or just dont want to spend a fortune on make-up, i would suggest E.L.F.

Re: E.l.f

I' ve used their lip gloss, and it's not really great... it smells like medicine and is kind of sticky. Better spend your money on a bit better quality products.
