Shop Eyes Lips Face

Just wanted to share with you what I came across today. Looks like some basic colors for those of you that can handle bismuth. $3 a pop.

I'm going to order a few. I can alway pawn them off on my sisters, if I don't like them.

Yea, there has been a lot of talk about the brand ELF and their mineral makeup.

I haven't heard too many good things about the mineral powder, but I figured giving the shadows a go might be ok.

Oooh, i'm not crazy about trying their foundations... but they are a good value. But you get what you pay for, I guess. Though it won't hurt to try their shadows!

I personally like the foundation and the blush. Not as good as BE or Philosophy; but a better match for my skin than EDM. I knew they had eyeshadows in production but didn't realize they were this close to releasing them! Oh darn, I just placed an order....should have waited, LOL!

They actually look nice

Better hurry cause ELF just got bought out by Nordstroms, thats why everything is $1 or $3! They have to get rid of everything with the ELF label!

I looked this up online and there is quite a bit of info saying that this is a spam email that is going around and it is not true.
I have heard from a few friends that the bad thing about ordering from ELF online is that they seem to be out of stock on a lot of things so you never know what you're going to get. They don't backorder anything - they just credit you for what they don't have and send your order incomplete. There is no notification if you're not going to get something you ordered. I know of one person who's tried to order a certain blush about 3 times or so and hasn't received it yet.

This rumor has been going around for quite some time and is untrue.

I may take a peek next time I am at KMart and see if they have any.

My KMart has yet to carry the ELF mineral collection....

To me the worst thing about ordering online is the shipping (6.95). But with most things $1, it's still a good deal. My Kmart has yet to carry e.l.f. minerals either; just lip products, pressed powders, concealer sticks, and a few eye products. So I've bought just about everything they sell, LOL!

I just ordered for the first time from ELF, haven't gotten it yet. It was curiosity mostly that made me order. I can't imagine great quality for a buck, but a small investment to possibly find a cheap hidden treasure!! I'll post my thoughts on the products I ordered

Definitely let us know - I've almost ordered online from them a few times, but as I posted above I've heard of a few people disappointed because they only get part of their order - so I haven't ordered online yet. our Target here sells some items (not nearly everything) so I've tried a few that way. The lip glosses for the most part have been a disappointment (too sheer and don't show up on me much) but I use their eyelash curler and I have a concealer of theirs right now that I use sometimes and it's okay too.

tyarishanese · 04-29-2008, 06:23 AM

they have always been $1 since I first heard about them 3 years ago. I do like their mineral foundation though, its the only one so far that is a pretty good match for my skin. I was curious about the eye shadows too so please post with the verdict. Thanks.

Oooh, some lovely colours. I hope these come out in the UK soon.
