You all probably know that I'm a makeup junkie. So when e.l.f. had a special for Mother's Day a while back, I jumped on the chance to try their cosmetics. For those of you who aren't aware, e.l.f. stands for eyes, lips, face. Contrary to my husband's belief, they don't sell makeup for elves. Anyway, I have to tell you that I was amazed at what I received for my money. I believe I spent only $8.95 including shipping and got a box full of items.
Not only was I pleased with the price, I was actually very impressed with the quality of the products. As a former beauty consultant for a couple of companies, in addition to the reviews I've been able to do here at Everyday Baby Steps, I've tried a lot of beauty products. And I'm pretty particular when it comes to my cosmetics. I wasn't disappointed with e.l.f.
I found that the products went on smoothly and seemed to last quite well. I'm partial to things that smell yummy, so I fell in love with e.l.f.'s Hyper Shine Gloss in Fairy. It smells like a pina colada, and it's just the right hint of color for casual days. Guess what? I've got a gloss just like it to give to one of you! I've also got the Regular & Waterproof Mascara Duo in Black and a professional eye shadow brush from e.l.f.

What a coincidence that you have a review for E.L.F. I've actually got on their sight for the first time today and spent forever picking stuff out. I'm running low on a lot of makeup so I thought I would give them a go since they have such amazing prices!
