OK, but not for everybody
I received this in my Ipsy bag This is a nice product that goes on smoothly, moisturized pretty well (I have dry skin) and smells nice. This product is not my go to moisturizer. The first time I tried this product as an addition to both my daytime and nighttime makeup. I applied it under my foundation. During the day, if you are even slightly oily, this is not the right product to use. You look "Dewey" alright, for about 5 minutes until you go out in the sunlight and end up looking downright shiny and greasy. Let me reemphasize that: your skin does not FEEL shiny or greasy - you LOOK shiny & greasy. This is something I just didn't like. It doesn't look natural. I want my face to look dewy but not overly shiny. Coming to evening wear, honestly speaking, even if you're a shiny, oily girl, this is beautiful for formal looks! As a nighttime look, this was better. Under medium coverage foundation, you get a really nice glow and your skin looks great. I have also try mixing this product with a medium to full coverage makeup. I put 2 drops of glam glow in my foundation then applied it with a damp beauty blender. I found it worked better mixed but you have to be careful not to add too much. This made my skin look better than when I used it as a full face moisturizer it was closer to a naturally dewy look. Nit perfect but closer. If you have any texture on your skin this isn't the best product because it emphasizes the texture so be careful how and where you apply it. Would I buy it. Probably not since it is 45.00US which is 60.00 cad. I have seen and used other products with better results. I am glad I had the opportunity to try it before purchasing a full size jar.

I received a sample of this mask in an Ipsy bag. The first thing I noticed is the clay smell but I don't mind it at all. This mask provides gentle to intense exfoliation depending on how much you massage it into your face. I love that the exfoliant is coarse sand and they use amazing natural ingredients. There is a nice cooling sensation while drying. It's a small sample size but I used a thin layer about 5 times. When you think you're running out CUT the tube open because you will be missing out on another mask's worth of product!!! Skin feels very clean, refreshed, soft and smooth after washing off the mask, and definitely looks mattified after use. I noticed a difference in my pores, which is the result I was most looking forward to seeing. The price point of the full size is quite high but I'd get it on sale! -

I recieved this product in my Ipsy bag. When I first saw it I thought hell no I won't use a highlighter pink lip gloss. However, when I tried it I was surprised that it did not go on with a lot of pigment. Instead it applies translucent and adapts to the ph in your skin. The end effect is very natural with a hint if pink. The formula is nice; it has an oily moisturizing texture. It isn't sticky so it is very comfortable on the lips. There is a strong grapefruit scent that lingers not sure how much I like it. The moisturizing effect is very nice, this is something I would use as a quick replacement for every day lip balm or gloss. It goes on easily and is not messy. -

I was in Winners the other day and saw Tazo teas so I thought I would give it a try. I bought a different flavor then I saw this challenge and thought it a perfect time to try this new blend, so I went back to purchase this one. I drink my tea black with a little sugar. I tried it hot and really liked it. It was quite enjoyable. I was surprised that the orange and licorice would complement each other. The licorice is very subtle The orange and lemon grass flavors are more prominent, which gives it that tangy juicy flavor. Great tea for those cozy by the fire chilly nights. Price is right as well. -

Amazing stuff
I love this stuff. I mean love it. I was afraid to use this due to sensitive skin. I have have dry skin and let me tell you when I exfoliate I like exfoliants that I know are working, sugar scrubs, and or micro breads. First I use the ELF daily hydrating face cleanser first and then I go in with the peel. I only use it times a week though. It gently exfoliates my skin without the harsh or coarse abrasives I can feel it working. I can see how this may confuse people when you use it you rub it onto your dry skin and then massage it. You will notice small little pills of dead skin balling up. I've read some reviews where people think its gimicky and not actually taking off the dead skin but the way I like to describe this working is the same way a glycolic acid works. You apply it onto your skin and it gently removes dead skin cells using natural ingredients like papaya enzymes. I was so pleased the first time I used this product and how well it works. I love using it and applying the Elf Serum afterwards which seems to soak in so much more after using this product.

Again I thought since I like the Elf Hydrating Serum so well I would give this set a try too. In this set I recieved a full size Daily cleanser, a Daytime moisturizer and a eye cream. . The cleanser is a nice daily cleanser. It removes make up easily and thoroughly. But what I like most is that it is a nice addition to my daily routine. It is not too harsh for daily use. It leaves my skin smooth and soft and feeling refreshed. The daily moisturizer is lightweight and absorbs quickly. This a nice moisturizer but it will not be my go to moisturizer since I need something more concentrated to help my dry skin. However, this is great moisturizer to use under makeup. It doesn't affect other liquid or cream products that I apply on my face. The eye cream is very nice. I like the gel consistency. A small amount goes a long way so the jar will last a long time I use it when I wake up and before I go to bed. It is not sticky or shiny. It's very hydrating I also find that the ingredients help soothe tired and puffy eyes. I usually dislike products that have fragrance but this has a clean scent that's very light. ELF products are vegan and cruelty free another plus. -

I thought I would give the ELF Skin care line a try. First I wanted to see if a low cost or budget friendly skincare product would be of use to me. I have been using this product for about a month and I have to say yes it is. I am absolutely in love with this serum. My skin had always been very dry and flaky l and now it's just bright, glowing and hydrated. I have noticed it wears wonderful under makeup. Not pilling like I've experienced with other products. I love that they are so affordable as well as cruelty free and I will be sticking with their products for the long run. I've honestly never noticed such a difference in my skin and I am beyond happy! -

I love ELF's lip scrub. I like that it is a lipstick so very easy to use and no messy container. Taste great maple sugar. I apply while getting ready and when finished wipe off and finish with my favorite lip product. Leaves my lips free from dead skin, moisturized, and smooth with a perfect foundation for lip products. -

Perfect for travel. Works surprisingly well. They cleaned my brushes nicely. One wipe cleaned 1 large brush or 2-3 small brushes. I found it cleaned my real hair and synthetic brushes about the same. Didn't dry out my real hair brushes. Each box comes with 10 individual wipes. Bought them when 1/2 price so that was a bonus. I wouldn't use for deep cleaning just for on the go purposes. 0.96 now that's a bargain. -

Elf was having a great sale so perfect time to try out their gel mask. First thing first it's not really a gel. But that's okay. It is more like a cream. It reminds me of the old ponds cold cream but a little lighter in texture. I washed my face and use a clean mask brush to apply. It says to let sit for 10 minutes. It is very nice for those who have dry skin. It has an oily feel so some might not like it. Works perfect for me since I have very dry skin. After 10 min my face still felt oily but as directed wiped off excess and massaged the rest in. I didn't go overboard with the product so I didn't have too much excess on my face. This would've been perfect to use with a jade face roller to massage oils in the skin. Will do that next time. I think I will also try this as a nighttime cream/mask for deep hydration. So far I like it. We shall see how I feel after the entire jar is empty. Price was excellent 1/2 price 3.84 cad. I sure get at least 8 -10 uses, possibly more. -
