This appears to be discontinued, which is a shame, because these lipsticks have a very nice texture. I have the colors runway pink, and nicely nude. Runway pink is a nudey pink with subtle shimmer. Nicely nude is a light nudey pink with gold frosty shimmer. These go on very moisturizing on the lips. These are slightly less opaque compared to the matte lip pencils. These don't have any noticeable scent. -
e.l.f. Cosmetics Essential Slant Tweezers
These tweezers work really well. They are sharp (and can cut), but they are very effective. For the price, these are very sturdy, and can tolerate quite a lot.

These colors are beautiful and amazing when wet. When dry, they are a little harder to work with and the pigmentation is lackluster. I have this in California and NYC, and NYC is much more pigmented than California. The quality of this is also sub par in that this will shatter and break if dropped. (The shadows more prone to breaking are also the ones that are more pigmented.) Most of the colors also are shimmery (they are baked). There is only one color that is more matte. However, if you like baked eyeshadows, you will likely enjoy these. -

This is for the black shimmer liner. For $1 USD it works fairly well. The eyeliner is a little on the hard side, but it still is pigmented when depositing color. I find that this works better on the lashline as opposed to the waterline. It doesn't smudge as easily as other liners, and lasts fairly decently. However, if you have oily lids and require waterproof eyeliner, this will smudge and transfer on you. The eyeliner is not fully black, as it has shimmers in the formula. -

This review is for the $1 USD essential lipsticks. It appears that elf is slowly discontinuing these lipsticks on the website. I own nostalgia, classy, seductive, flirtatious, sociable, fearless and posh. Posh and seductive are no longer available on the website, which is a shame because these were beautiful colors. Nostalgia and flirtatious are almost too light for my light to medium skin tone, and are specific to certain looks only. They will likely work better for you if you have lighter skin. Classy is also bordering on almost too light, but works well as an everyday pink color. Sociable is a pink that borders on red, and has shimmer in it, its the only one that has shimmer (sparkles) in it. However, the shimmer is sparsely distributed, and the majority of the lipstick is matte. Fearless is a classic red. (Seductive is a pink nude color, and posh is a darker red). For $1 these are great to experiment with different colors, however, they do not wear very long, are not very pigmented, and do not quite set. The lighter colors especially will settle into the lines on your lips. As these do not quite set, lipliner is a must. The formula also varies across the lipsticks, depending on whether you got an older lipstick or a newer one. I prefer the older formula, as it is more matte, but longevity is the same. The newer formula applies more easily, but is glossier. These will not last through a meal, but the packaging is NOT travel friendly at all, as the cap is not secure. On new lipstick, the top of the lipstick also does not twist all the way down into the container, so it is very easy for this to make a mess in your bag. I have tried setting this with powder, and still it does not last very long. The smell of these lipsticks is sweet, and is reminiscent of flintstones vitamins with a chalky sweet scent. These are very easy to remove. The reds are a little harder, but still relatively easy. For the price, I do recommend picking some up to try the colors, but don't expect very much from this lipstick. -

This is a shimmery liquid eyeshadow. These are part of the aqua line, so they are very blendable. I don't find that these are as opaque as the liquid matte shadows, but they are very shimmery and sheer out nicely. These also work as shimmery highlighters. The staying powder of these is decent, though the color is not as vibrant after a couple of hours, and these also don't dry down completely matte, and have a slightly tacky finish. -

This is an interesting product. One side has a lip plumper, the other side has a lip primer. The lip primer side is a concealer shade with lots of white base to it. Due to the white base, if you use this under lipsticks, it will lighten then considerably. The lip plumper is cinnamon based, and smells as such. The plumper side also goes on clear. I'm not sure if this did much to plump my lips, but I did get a tingly sensation immediately after using this. The lip plumper does moisturize your lips however, its a bit too oily to work well as a base for lipstick. -
