E.L.F.

E.L.F.

A friend of mine heard about a makeup company that's online and in some department stores now that sells all of their products for one dollar. Why are they so cheap? They don't advertise and they have minimal packaging, which cuts down on overhead. I went online and ordered base, eyeshadow, eyeliner and they added in a lipgloss as the promotional item of the week.

It just arrived and I'm really happy. It looks like stuff you'd buy in a drugstore (back to the cheap packaging) but the makeup is good quality. The only downside is it isn't a huge quantity (Like those Este Lauder mega pressed powder squares). Even so, for $1 you can't afford to go to the drug store and buy it. Shipping was $4.85 and it came in a bubble envelope. Give me a few days to see how the base reacts with my skin (In California I had to buy some really expensive makeup non-everything, and mascara made of seaweed) but for everything else I'd say, I'd recommend it.

They don't have an extensive range of colors and products yet-though what they have isn't shabb. Even their makeup brushes and eyelash curlers are $1. That's way less than you'd pay at Walmart or Sephora. So go check them out here. I think it's worth it. And I ordered it thursday and it arrived today.
