I absolutely love elf products. Of course, the regular
products suck, but the studio line is amazing.

I switched from ElF to sheer cover cosmetics. The basic line of $1 products is good for the money, my favorites are the lipglosses. They come in a variety of colors and actually last for quite some time, but these can be bought at Target.
When ELF had the 75% off the mineral line promotion, I bought every color of eyeshadow, blush, mascara, lipstick, eyeliner there was.
The mineral lipsticks are dry, and look nothing like what is being displayed; your lips will take on the appearance of being shriveled up. . If you don’t mind putting a clear gloss over it, then you will be just fine. The blush colors are very nice, but the plum color would make a better eyeshadow than blusher.
As for the foundation, and concealers, not only does it take more of the makeup to cover flaws, but the texture is a bit gritty. Not only that, but the concealer, foundation and the bronzer all come in the same sized containers.
When I switched to sheer cover, I opted for 3 months worth. At first it seemed pricey, but what they give you goes a long way; a wonderful cream mineral concealer, and it does not take much of the foundation for even coverage. They also give you a compact to fill with your face powder, that has the cream concealer included, and a mini kabuki brush to go with it. The bronzer from sheer cover gives you a healthy glow, not a shiny face, you get much more than what has been listed. I do love ELF’s mineral eyeliners and mineral liquid eyeliners, they go on easy, and stay on all day.
Their mineral eyeshadows are very nice, but do not last very long, even if you use a primer, and their colors are so limited.
I do recommend their studio line, all of the products are fantastic, and you would pay so much more for what they offer in the store, even without a coupon.
This has been a long entry, but hopefully it covered most everything, and was a fair observation. have a great day

I’ve heard bad things about the website– long shipping, overcharging to credit cards, etc.. But you can find these products in some stores. I bought their mineral foundation kit. It doesn’t make a huge difference to my face but then, neither does the much, much more expensive brand. It also came with a bag and a brush that’s actually really nice. I’ve bought cheap discount cosmetics at cheap discount stores and been plenty happy with them. Although I’ll never submit to sharp pencil eyeliners. Ouchy.
