Skincare
I have combo skin that I'm trying to prevent from aging (in my mid-40s). This is a perfect summer moisturizer. The smell is very light and it spreads easy. It sinks in well and has a pump applicator. I like to take these on trips because I do not hav...
Holy Hydration! Daily Hydration Face Moisturizer
When I ran out of The Ordinary Niacinamide (see my drugstore skincare list) I picked this up. The niacinamide level is less than The Ordinary's by half, but this adds a glow that is great for weekends when I don't want to wear any foundation/tinted m...
Holy Hydration! Thirst Burst Drops Brightening Serum
This is great for when I run out of my random night cream from a goat farm in upstate New York. The E.L.F. night cream feels refreshing and doesn't break me out (gel creams do, like the other E.L.F. one; this one does not).
Holy Hydration! Nourishing Night Cream
Makeup
I have purchased this so many times. This absolutely is a dupe for Benefit's version, but at a fraction of the price. It doesn't flake or bleed, and is easy to remove.
Lash 'N Roll® Curling & Lifting Mascara
I used to be a Milk primer addict, but this cured me. It's about as 99% as good as the Milk version for way less. I like to use this after moisturizing and then put a pore blur primer on top in my T-zone.
Power Grip Primer
Why are you spending $30 on a brow pencil? A two pack of these costs around $6 and is worth every cent and more. It blends beautiful and lasts all day. I like to pair this with the E.L.F. brow gel.
Best Eyebrow Pencil - Instant Lift Brow Pencil
I might actually be funding E.L.F with as many of these as I buy a month. They are incredibly inexpensive, moisturizing, have no overwhelming scent, have a perfect application, and some have a slight tint. (I get compliments on the Grape.)
Squeeze Me Glow Moisturizing Lip Balm
Again, who needs a $30 brow gel when this exists? It holds well but doesn't freeze my brows completely like some other products.
Wow Tinted Brow Gel
This works and stays and is ideal for my combination skin. I rarely wear concealer but when I do it's this one and only this one.
16-Hour Camo Full Coverage Concealer | e.l.f. Cosmetics
I remember when this came out I had to travel far and wide to find it because of all of the hype. The hype is fairly well deserved – I have huge pores around my nose, and this helps conceal them.
Poreless Putty Face Primer
This stain adds just a hint of color to enhance the lips – it doesn't create the popsicle look, but more of an YLBB color. It isn't drying, but it isn't necessarily hydrating either. It does not slip at all.
Glossy Lip Stain
I get so many compliments on this! To be clear, this is only for the glimmer, not for the plain tinted oil (which I'm not a fan of). This is hydrating and adds a glazed donut look.
Glow Reviver Lip Oil Glimmer
Tools
Bear with me on this one - I use it for foundation. It's synthetic and easy to clean and blends my tinted moisturizer like a dream.
Domed Stippling Makeup Brush
E.L.F. brushes are the real standouts of the brand (which is saying a lot because there are a lot of incredible products). I use this for setting powder.
Complexion Brush | Vegan Makeup Brush
This works, it is inexpensive and easily accessible, and does what it needs to do.
Makeup Brush Cleaner Shampoo
This is highlighted as a best seller for good reason. This is perfect for blending the crease. It picks up *just enough* eyeshadow without going overboard.
