e.l.f. has some great inexpensive products though admittedly some of their stuff is kind of junky, especially to the trained eye of the experience makeup junkie. To help you figure out what is worth getting here is a list of great e.l.f. products.- e.l.f. Essential Eyelid Primer
- For $1 this primer rocks. If Urban Decay's primer potion works for you this will probably work as well. It is almost as good. UD's primer potion stands up to extreme wear and tear better but the e.l.f primer works just as well for everyday wear. So say you are going to a rock concert where you will be sweating, going nuts, possibly getting water sprayed in your face (if you have nice security willing to spray water into people's mouths) or beer dumped on you; in this case you would definitely want to go with the UD primer potion. Say you are going to a normal day of school of work e.l.f. eyelid primer will do the job.
- False Eyelashes
- e.l.f.'s false eyelashes range from $1 for basic ones to $3 for more dramatic ones (feathers and such). They probably aren't the best false eyelashes ever but they would be great for someone who is new to using false eyelashes. I don't know if their lash adhesive is any good so you may have to buy a different lash adhesive. I hear Duo lash adhesive is good . I currently use Revlon Precision Lash Adhesive which works pretty well but the packaging is kind of stupid.
- e.l.f. Studio Lip Lock Pencil
- I don't know anyone who has this yet but it is a clear lip liner meant to prevent your lippies from feathering. I only have one lip liner that only works with one or two of my lippies and this one will work with any of them so this is definitely going in my cart. It's only $3 so might as well try it.
- e.l.f. Essentials Shimmer Facial Whip
- This product received Allure's Best of Beauty Editors Choice in 2008. Some of my friends have raved about them. I have two, persimmon and toasted. One is pretty good though I'm not a fan of using on my eyelids, the texture is weird. There is something apparently wrong with my Toasted. It is all separated and no matter how much I knead or mix it, it stays separated but I know other people who have toasted and theirs is not this way... apparently I got a dud.
- e.l.f. Studio Brushes
- I've had some trouble with the e.l.f. essential brushes falling apart on me but the e.l.f. Studio Brushes (the ones with the black handles) are rather nice for the price.
