If you're looking for amazing, great quality makeup on the cheap, then you need to check out the best Elf products and get your shop on!

It’s finally February, I don’t know about you guys but I feel like January has been the longest month ever in life and I have been begging for it to be over. Except now, I feel like I am behind on all the things I need to get done. Eek! I’ve got a pretty awesome post for ya’ll today for Makeup Wars… We are going with Brand Wars so when you click through the link up at the bottom you will get to see everyone’s favorite drugstore picks, I went with ELF because I am obsessed with them! If you’re looking for amazing, great quality makeup on the cheap, then you need to check out the best Elf products and get your shop on!

When I started this post, I swear that I could have just linked you their home page and said buy everything because I really do love them. ELF products pretty much take up a major portion of my entire makeup collection. I tried my very best to narrow it down to my absolute favorite picks so we have 11.

One of my very favorite elf products is their eyebrow kit because it’s just perfect. It’s the only one I’ve tried so far that actually matches my very light brows perfectly. And it’s SO freaking cheap that you just can’t beat it. $3 is just everything. If you’ve been around for awhile and read my how to contour post then you know that I am a very big fan of foundation sticks, the elf foundation stick is pretty freaking fantabulous and I love, love, love using it for the winter months. It just provides me with a bit of extra coverage that I so often feel I need to cover up some of my redness.

Another one of my favorites, these studio matte lipsticks , they are stunning in every shade and I have been using them forever. The shade shown above is pretty close to that Kendall Jenner lip color if that’s the sort of thing you’re into. I love their all over color sticks as well, I own them in every shade and they are totally worth it for highlighting, blush and bronzing.

Speaking of blush and bronzers, these next few are SO amazing. I can’t even describe how much I love them all. First up is the pressed mineral blush these little babies are so fun. You won’t be disappointed with any of the shades. Super pigmented. Next up are the elf blush and bronzing powders, which I actually showed you right here in our contouring for all skin tones post. These babies are cheap enough that you should grab them in every shade and just go to town. And after you buy up the powder, run DO NOT WALK right over here and grab these gorgeous blush and bronzing creams because they’re equally amazing. We’ve chatted about those here too! These will allow you to add some fab color to your makeup looks! And now for one of my very favorite elf products, these blush palettes are amazing. You can’t live without them, get them right now.

Have you met these shimmering facial whips? I’ve had swatches up here before. I am completely in love with them. It’s literally the best highlighter you will find for just one freaking dollar. You can’t beat that. Buy them all. Thank me later. When you’re buying all those up, be sure to grab yourself this fabulous eye roller for your tired eyes and the zit zapper to zap any unsightly blemishes.

There you have it, 11 of the best elf products. Best part? You could buy up this whole list for under $30 you can’t get mad at that, right? I’d run and grab them all! Be sure to check below and click through to see the other ladies and their favorites from other drugstore brands!

    They have so many other great products too! I like the brow gel, but they don’t make one light enough for me. Oh well.

    I’m a big fan of their blotting papers. They work just as well as the more expensive ones.

    I bought the Shimmering Facial Whip based on your recommendations… and promptly forgot about it. I need to dig it out and use it!

    I just grabbed a SET of eye products from Target for FIVE BUCKS. A WHOLE SET. I haven’t tried them yet because I have to photograph but my mind was BLOWN over the price. For the most part I hear good things regarding quality so my hopes are high! Thanks for the list of MOAR ELF I NEED!

    I keep one of the cream blush sticks in my purse all the time. It’s reassuring to know I have color with me and I love the price. I like ELF brushes too.

    I’ll have to hunt down those highlighters!

    I need to get back into my foundation stick! I loved it when I first tried it, but it fell by the wayside as I started testing new foundations. It’s fantastic!

    I adore elf! I am thinking I need a haul soon to pick up some of these items. I agree with you on many of your top elf picks…and, I need to try some of them that I haven’t yet like the Studio Matte lipsticks you mentioned and that blush palette! 🙂

    Oh, how I love elf because to be so cheap, they really do cosmetics beautifully!

    I tried the Shimmering Facial Whip years ago, like when they first launched, and wasn’t impressed. Wonder if they improved the formula.

    I reaaally reccomend their baked eyeshadows, or at least the one that I have which is ”Enchanted”, a superb warm gold with a subtle rosy duochrome, I am beyond in love with it!!! I usually use it with a wet brush and it’s just gloooowing and wonderful and magical <3 And dry for a very subtle touch of colour. I keep it on my desk and I just look at it from time to time, as ridiculous as that sounds! :)) That's just how in love I am with it; and you can see that duochrome going on in the pan, too.
    IMPORTANT!! If used wet, apply some primer beforehand! (because it creases or dissapears in some areas) I use that 1$ elf primer, which is truly great, at least for me (it's the only primer I've ever tried and I don't have oily lids).

The last few days I’ve been feeling off. Down? Maybe.. Anxious? Absolutely. Stressed? Yep. Work drained me. Jim got sick so our schedule is out of whack. I’ve felt like there’s not enough time in the day to do everything I think I should be doing. Deadlines. My cats knocked over a full glass of soda onto my just cleaned floor. I slept on the couch to try to stay away from Jims cold and woke up miserable. I thought all day it was a day earlier then it was. I hated my dinner. All tiny little things that trigger my anxiety when happening all at once. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
Here’s a strange way my anxiety and depression presents. Whenever I even feel it starting to creep in a tiny bit I get SO ANGRY at myself. Like I’ve done something wrong even when I know I haven’t. I get angry at myself for not having a plan to turn it around. Full on rage that I can’t even figure out why it’s happening. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
Usually when that happens I’ll force myself to figure it out. Plan it out. Make a list. But right now? Right now I’m choosing to just sit with myself. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
We all deal with the shit that comes with life. Big or small. Life is sometimes a bitch. And that’s fine. We get to do it all again tomorrow. Just a gentle reminder that it’s okay to not be okay. It’s okay to just stop and let your body rest. It’ll all be there in the morning. Give yourself permission to just be still if you must. ■ ⠀

HAPPY. Someone asked me the other day how I was doing and without even thinking about it, for the first time in over a year I answered “I’m happy” and it was the truth. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
For so much of 2019 I was still swimming in a pond of trying to figure out how to navigate everything that was thrown at me the day I found out about Jim’s addiction in late 2018. There were moments when I didn’t know if I would be here the next day. Moments when I wanted to end it all. Moments when I wasn’t sure we’d survive this financially. Moments when I wasn’t sure if I could eat that week. Times when I was sure our marriage wouldn’t survive his addiction or my overwhelming feeling of betrayal. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
I had struggled with anxiety and depression long before Jim picked up heroin. But I spiraled once I was faced with the fact that everything I had known for so long was just not what I thought. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
He has handled recovery with so much strength that I can’t help but be inspired by him. In a few days he will have been clean for 15 months. I’m proud of him and I’m happy for us. And while it wasn’t our finest hour. I don’t know that I’d change it. Which might sound crazy. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
The truth is it brought us closer. It made our marriage stronger. It forced me to pull strength from places I didn’t know I had. It showed me what actually mattered in this world. It showed me who my friends were.⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
Do I still have bad days? YEP. Do I still struggle? YEP. Are there weeks when I wish our bank account would be a little more flush? YEP. But at the end of each and every day I finally lay my head down proud, grateful, and happy. ⠀
■ ⠀
■ ⠀
If you love an addict, if you stay or you go, I want you to know that it will get better. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. <3 ⠀
