07 Dec Review, Swatches, Shades: e.l.f. elf cosmetics Nude To Bold Look Books Eyeshadow, Gotta Glow Lip Tints, Mad For Matte, Lock On Liner and Brow Cream, Kiss It Goodbye Remover, Exfoliator
e.l.f. has always proven to have quality products for amazing prices. I have spent a small fortune on makeup products that claim to work wonders, but e.l.f. shows that you can achieve expert flawless makeup application for the same price as a cup of Starbucks!
Nude to Bold Book of Look Books, $15.
Each look book includes 4 highly pigmented, silky smooth eyeshadows. The perfect range of shades for day or night looks, for any occasion.
There have been so many new palettes introduced this season that it’s hard to keep up. But this Nude to Bold palette narrows down the essentials for you. Makes a great gift for any makeup lover – including you!
Gotta Glow Lip Tint, $6.
This innovative lip tint reacts with the chemistry of your lips to deliver a personalized, perfect shade of pink! The ethereal hue gives a sheer flush of color that enhances the natural beauty of your lips. The gel-based formula glides on smoothly and is infused with Shea Butter to moisturize and nourish.
Apply alone for a natural-looking wash of color or as a base to any of your favorite e.l.f. lip colors. Repeat application as often as desired. Beauty Tip: Create a flushed glow on the check by applying a little directly to the cheeks and blend out with fingers or a sponge.
When I first heard about this Lip Tint, I was very interested to see if I’d get results. I applied and waited a few seconds with no color change. But then, after a few seconds more…whoa! It left me with a pretty pink on my lips – it wasn’t an overwhelming shade, but just enough to make my lips look pouty and naturally flushed. This is now a staple in my purse for when I’m not wearing bold lipstick, but rather when I want just a little color on my lips. This is genius!
Kiss It Goodbye Lip Color Remover, $3.
This clear, oil-based formula conditions while gently removing long-lasting lip color. Lip stains and long-lasting lip colors have met their match! Infused with Safflower Oil, Jojoba Oil, and Aloe, this product helps to soothe, hydrate, and replenish lips while breaking down color.
Blot lips clean of excess lip color. Squeeze a small amount onto a clean finger, gently massage and apply evenly all over stained lips. Leave on for around 30 seconds to activate and remove with a cotton pad. Repeat if necessary. Beauty Tip: For stubborn color try a second coat after you’ve swiped it clean or follow with the Lip Exfoliator to remove color that may have settled into deep lines.
I love trying out different lip colors – from the prettiest pinks to the boldest reds. And many leave a stain on my lips after removal. The Kiss It Goodbye Lip Color Remover has come to the rescue. After a recent holiday party wearing the famous MAC Ruby Woo, I used the Lip Color Remover and really liked how easy the color came off. This is a must-have, ladies!
Lip Exfoliator, $3.
Gently exfoliate lips to remove dry, chapped skin with the Lip Exfoliator! A sweet sugar and smoothing sensation, infused with Vitamin E, Shea Butter, Avocado, Grape and Jojoba Oils to nourish and protect. This Lip Exfoliator treats and smoothes lips for a conditioned and revitalized feel. Available in a variety of flavors like Mint Maniac and Sweet Cherry. Yum!
Apply to clean, damp lips and massage in a circular motion to exfoliate. Use a moistened cotton pad with water to gently wipe away scrub. Follow with a lip balm or gloss to condition.
I am in love with this product! Especially as the weather is dipping, dry chapped lips are not a good look. I usually apply lip scrubs that are often messy and leave your fingers with product all over. This Lip Exfoliator comes in a handy tube – no fuss! It was like a little spa treatment for my lips. I applied in a circular motion as instructed, wiped away and literally said, “Wow!” at the results. After wiping away, my lips felt so smooth and it left a bit of a moisturizing effect after. (And don’t forget the yummy mint flavor!) Bye bye messy lip scrubs, the e.l.f. Lip Exfoliator is my new #1!
Mattifying Blotting Papers, $5.
These innovative blotting papers are infused with translucent powder to help mattify skin and absorb oil without disturbing your makeup. The unique sponge applicator’s design makes touch-ups easy and helps leave skin looking refreshed and shine-free. The chic portable case is perfect for all your daily or on-the-go beauty adventures! Includes: 25 blotting papers, applicator sponge with 8 adhesives, Reusable Case with Mirror
Gently remove protective paper from application sponge to reveal adhesive. Press the sponge with the adhesive side down to pick up a paper. Pat wherever there is excess oil on the face and discard paper after use. Repeat if necessary, use daily or as needed. When adhesive loses stickiness, remove and discard to reveal additional adhesive sheets.
My skin has a mind of its own, dry one day and oily the next. So it’s always great to have blotting papers on hand. These come in a cute little pink compact to drop right in your purse. They really absorbs all the excess oil in no time flat. Love it!
Mad for Matte Lip Color Set, $10.
Four of the best-selling Matte Lip Colors in one convenient set. Set includes: Rich Red, Cranberry, Berry Sorbet, and Dash of Pink.
Apply to lips and blend in color. Re-apply as often as desired. Use alone or layer with your favorite lip gloss shade for a glossy effect.
Glossy lips are taking a backseat this season because matte lips are the hot new thing. These colors in the Mad for Matte Set are just dark enough for the Fall and Winter, and the matte finish is on point.
Lock On Liner and Brow Cream, $4.
This cream glides on smoothly to sculpt, shade, and define brows. It can also be used as eyeshadow or eyeliner for gorgeous, long-lasting color. Available in Taupe Blonde, Light Brown, Medium Brown, and Espresso.
Using short brush strokes, apply color where desired on brow or lash line to define.
I have used a brow pencil for years, so when I saw that e.l.f. had a brow cream, I was very intrigued. I was always nervous that anything other than a pencil would leave an unnatural look, but it’s exacatly the opposite. While at the e.l.f. event, I learned how to apply in soft short strokes to achieve a well groomed brow. I was also instructed to use the Eyebrow Duo Brush which has a spoolie on one end to tame unruly hair and a slanted brush on the other end to help attain a defined brow. I have quickly ditched my go-to brow pencil in favor of this Liner and Brow Cream.
