Budget Beauty Essentials with Elf

There are few things I love more than some good ol’ budget beauty products and when they come from one of my favorite brands, it’s even better. I have been a long time fan of e.l.f. and everything they have to offer. Their brushes are some of the best I have used and that’s putting them up against some pretty expensive brands. The quality is just there, in everything that I have tried. They carry so many of my favorites, especially things I like to use when I’m in a hurry. There’s nothing like having awesome products on hand when you’re going for a 10- Minute Face look. I want to share some of my essentials with y’all and also give you a chance to win!

Budget Beauty Essentials with Elf

Like I said, I have been a fan of their brushes for-freaking-ever and the Essentials Professional Complete Set (12 Brushes) is a must have in my collection! I’ve been using them for years and I probably have doubles and triples of most of them so I can be sure they’re always around. I’m a little crazy, I know.  This set includes all of the Essential eyes, lips, and face makeup brushes you need to complete your flawless look. From eye shadow and liner, to concealer and foundation, the Professional 12-Piece Brush Set is just what you’ve been looking for! Another product that I have been using and loving is the Mineral Blemish Kit, it’s seriously the bomb dot com. The best part of this little magic potion powder is that it not only disguises your blemishes but it helps heal them! Awesome, right? This translucent powder has active acne fighting ingredients like natural Sulfur, Tea Tree and Willow Bark to treat acne and prevent future breakouts while penetrating deep into the pores to control blackheads. I don’t know about y’all but I seriously lack in the moisture department, one of my go-to products to combat this is the Studio Moisture Stick. This is an easy to use clear gel formulation that nourishes and hydrates the skin. Another go to for moisture is the Studio Lotion wipes, I absolutely love these!

Budget Beauty Essentials with Elf

Not only do I want to cover blemishes but I can get some pretty gnarly under eye circles from lack of sleep so I am always attached to my Studio Eye Refresh roller. The cooling sensation of the Eye Refresh rollerball brightens and refreshes the eye area to help alleviate under eye puffiness and dark circles. Infused with key ingredients Pomegranate, Rosemary, Green Tea, Cucumber and Grape to hydrate and nourish the delicate skin around your eyes. A nifty little product that all of you other glitter lovers will be obsessed with is the Essential Glitter Primer! Preps your eyelid for smoother, longer-lasting, and crease-proof glitter eyeshadow. Every girl needs the perfect lip gloss in her makeup bag, and I am here to tell you that this one is perfection! The Super Glossy Lip Shine in Pink Kiss is everything!

Budget Beauty Essentials with Elf

Some of my favorite eye shadows come from e.l.f. so I love grabbing a few of these Custom Compacts (with mirror) to hold the pans in. Each compact is super affordable and fits 4 pans. Shades that I am loving lately that are going to be perfect for Fall are taupe, dusk, pink ice and sage. As a super fan of these shadows, I can tell you that you will absolutely love them!

There you have, everything you need to build the perfect Beauty Essentials Kit with e.l.f. cosmetics! Now, what you have been waiting for!! Giveaway time! Enter below for your chance to win!

  34. Sus says

    September 18, 2014 at 4:24 pm

    At 65, the eyerefresh rollerball is a dream come true. Then, with a level palate (so to speak) I can work on the rest of the disrepair that age brings.

    I’m in love with the eyelid primer, and they also have great matte finishing powder.

  41. Andae says

    September 19, 2014 at 11:13 am

    My favorites are their brushes because they last a long time (I’ve had mine for 4 years!) The cream eyeliners are a dream and super easy to apply. The jumbo eye shadow sticks are great because you can just swipe and go! And you can’t beat their false eyelashes. I’ve used them for my wedding and holidays. They are inexpensive but IMO are just as good as their competitors.

  42. Christina Silva says

    September 19, 2014 at 12:07 pm

    I especially love all the eyeshadows I have from ELF.

    I have never tried any Elf cosmetics and had actually not even heard if Elf until a year or so ago. I was in Walgreens recently after a dr’s appt and saw the Elf line, which was the first time ever. I was in a big hurry but do plan to go back in this coming week and pick up several things to try. I may start with there brunches. Thanks so much.

  59. Aubrey (@highheeledlove) says

    September 23, 2014 at 10:51 am

    I’m sad to say I don’t have any ELF in my makeup collection. That needs to change; I’d probably start with their brushes since you like them so much.

“The black and white photo challenge started as “The black and white photo challenge started as a way for women to raise their voice. To stand in solidarity with the women we have lost.

The Global Burden of Armed Violence 2014 database shows that between 2007 and 2012, on average, 60,000 women were killed violently around the world. ⁣
⁣
A total of 87,000 women were intentionally killed in 2017. More than half of them (58 per cent) ̶ 50,000 ̶ were killed by intimate partners or family members, meaning that 137 women across the world are killed by a member of their own family every day. More than a third (30,000) of the women intentionally killed in 2017 were killed by their current or former intimate partner ̶ someone they would normally expect to trust.⁣

Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thin Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. ⁣
⁣
We’re about two hit two years since Jim entered rehab and I’m forever proud of the changes he made and the man he has become⁣
⁣
For the person reading this who loves an addict. It’s changed you, I know. It made you a little harder to reach. It made getting out a bed a little rough. It’s isolated you from groups of friends. Your hearts a little more closed off then it once was. Your trust is a little bit broken. You’ve felt more alone then you ever have. You’ve felt judged. You’ve felt betrayed. You’ve felt at fault.⁣
⁣
Whether you’re past it or still in the trenches. I want you to know some things. ⁣
⁣
I need you to know that it’s not your fault. I need you to know that you could not have done anything differently. I need you to know that you can’t cure it. You didn’t cause it. And you can’t control it. ⁣
⁣
Most of all I need you to know that it gets better. I need you to know that it’s ok to feel happiness again. It’s ok to put yourself first. It’s ok to take care of your. ⁣
⁣
And you’re not alone. ⁣
⁣
I promise you that there’s a light on this side of the tunnel just waiting for you to walk through. And that light doesn’t mean it’s over, it’s just there to guide you. Because every day could be a battle. ⁣
⁣
I stayed for the battle. But that’s not the only way. If you need to leave that’s okay too. Either way. You have to get to that light. ⁣
⁣
Don’t be afraid to reach out for help. Go to a meeting yourself. Grab a book (Co-Dependent No More, was helpful for me) listen to a podcast. Get yourself a village. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF⁣
