E.L.F. Hypershine Gloss

I'm pretty pleased with this e.l.f. product. The hypershine lip gloss were actually pigmented and they run at $1 each. That is a steal my friend. I have been slowly coming around to e.l.f. They are super affordable and are not made shitty. Of course, they are not made superbly either...but hello, it's $1 why are you complaining? lol.

These, on top of your lipstick or lip tars are stellar.

E.L.F. Liquid Lipstick

My last post was kinda...not of the happy, upbeat note. Let's look at these swatches now!

Not too impressed with E.L.F.'s liquid lipstick. Liquid lip stick? More like sheer lip gloss. They are something that I would keep stashed in my car in case of lip emergency. lol.

E.L.F. Plumping Lip Glaze

I picked up 2 shades: Fuschia Fanatic and Peach Passion. The lip plumber glaze doesn't do ANYTHING, but the colors are pretty.

E.L.F. Liquid Liners

I picked up a few of these liquid liners from E.L.F. At $1 each, a pretty good steal. The silver is a disappointment. It comes on thin and when you add a second coat, it feels too heavy on your lid. Bummer. The black bleeds slightly, but the brown/plum is perfect.

If your looking for some liquid liners at a cheap price, pick these up.

The Beauty Encyclopedia - Lip Edition Review

You may or may not be surprised by this but this is my first E.L.F. purchase.

I'm almost a full blown makeup snob. I live for Urban Decay, Stila and MAC. If I could afford everything they sell I would own it! Lately, I've been on a mission to find quality inexpensive makeup. When I found this on sale at Target, it was too cheap to pass by...

What E.L.F. says...
