I wasn't sure what to expect because foundation is something you definitely don't want to skimp on in my opinion. I mean, no one likes the girl with the orange jaw line, right? Plus, I already have a favorite foundation living happily in my make-up bag, (L'oreal Infallible) so why fix what isn't broken? Well, for only $6, I just couldn't resist the urge to at least try it out.
Here are my thoughts ...
The packaging was pretty & I love a pump dispenser. Check and check.
Since I'm so pasty that I could easily be mistaken for Powder, I purchased the lightest shade: Porcelain.
The coverage is medium to full, which is my preference when it comes to foundation coverage:

And here is how my face looks with the foundation (no PhotoShop or editing of any kind). Everything about this foundation reminds me of my fave foundation, but is half the price. I'm sold.

Oh, what is that rosy hue on my cheeks you ask? Why, it's the "All Over Color Stick" in the shade Pink Lemonade.
Product:
Here is a swatch of the product not blended and blended (using my fingers):
A little goes a LONG way with this color stick, which can be used to highlight your cheeks, brow bones and lips. Personally I wouldn't put this particular color on my eyes, but that's me. I've used it on my cheeks and lips and love the color. Another tip - do not apply the stick directly to your skin. Use a light touch and a finger to apply and blend.
There you have it friends. Two more slam dunks from e.l.f. If you've tried these particular products, what did you think? If not, will you try them? Leave your thoughts in the comments.
p.s. Right now e.l.f. has a promo for $10 of a $30 online purchase using the code "TAXREFUND" by 4/16.

I haven't tried these particular products yet, but I did just recently buy the e.l.f. concealer and I love it so far! Great product for the cheap price.
ReplyDeletelove the color stick! i picked one up a few days ago. i used it a couple years ago too.
ReplyDeleteThats awesome that there is a great product for an affordable price! I recently got the bare minerals set so I will be using that until it runs out but its nice to know there are some good options out there! I have gotten the elf brushes and eye shadow before but was always leery of the bronzer, blush and nail polishes....will have to rethink this the next time I'm in the states!
ReplyDeletei havent tried these products but definitely will keep an eye out for them now. love your blog, following :)
ReplyDeleteemma xo
Excellent! Thank you for the tips!!
ReplyDeleteI need to try these!
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to try the stick, but wasn't sure of which color to choose. I guess I'll be getting this one! Awesome review :)
ReplyDeleteThanks to you I just spent 40 dollars on my first ELF purchase!! :) :)
ReplyDeleteand I got like 20 items... bam! Can't get that at Walgreens!
Man, I love elf stuff...and I have you to thank for the introduction to it! Can't wait to try this out :)
ReplyDeletei thought about buying the foundation the other day, just to try it, but decided last minute not to..maybe someday. (soon) once again thanks for keeping us in the elf loop, i'm not the best at buying makeup but thanks to you and Leslie (@ a blonde ambition) i've become so much braver about trying new things..and all of things i've tried so far have been perfect. you is awesome, homegirl!
ReplyDeleteMiss Linds ... Can you recommend a good inexpensive tinted moisturizer? I'm not a big fan of the e.l.f. one. I, too, am Powder-like
ReplyDeleteI just bought the color stick Monday (along with a bunch of other ELF goodies) but haven't used it yet. Can't wait to try it.
ReplyDeleteYou should seriously be a spokeswoman for ELF. You have me sold everytime!
ReplyDeleteI went to Target today and got two elf things. The mascara I am now hooked on and a kabuki brush. Best 4 bucks I ever did spent.
ReplyDeletee.l.f. has the best prices and I am glad to hear that the quality is nice as well
ReplyDeleteI'm a new fan of ELF-- thanks to you! The prices are the best and the quality is great!
ReplyDeleteYou were the one who made me finally take the plunge into purchasing elf products, and I cannot thank you enough! I already have the all over color stick..and you are so right about the amount you need! But now I need to go buy this foundation!!
ReplyDeleteAll you blogger ladies are raving about the elf makeup but I loveeee what I use!!! I might just have to try though :)
ReplyDeleteI love love love e.l.f.!!! I have a huge bag of products coming to me in the mail right now! I will have to try the foundation! I was skeptical just like you but I will have to take your word on it and try it out. Who can beat the low prices of e.l.f. makeup? Thanks for the review!

I looove the cover stick! You are definitely right that a little goes a long way. Almost looked like a clown the first time I put it on. I can't decide if I like it better as a lip gloss or a cheek color. decisions, decisions!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome! I'm going to need more foundation soon, I might as well try it out! Thanks girl!
ReplyDeletei always see these two at target, but haven't bought them. i want to try the loreal truematch foundation next (right now i'm using maybelline which i've used since highschool). hmmmmm.....
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to try!! I love their bronzer and setting spray
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review - I've been hating my foundation lately and thinking of trying something new. I find that mine isn't longwear, and by that I mean in a few hours it looks like I have nothing on! HOW does that happen? Do you put a powder on your foundation to "hold" it?
ReplyDeleteBought the foundation yesterday! Thanks for the review girl... I am liking it so far!
ReplyDeleteI just find ELF to be hit or miss for me! I adore their cream liner but I have LOATHED quite a few of their other things. I even returned them... lol, I know... cheap skate over here. I am a foundation junkie (I have about 7 rotating in my drawer currently) so maybe I'll have to give that one a try!!
ReplyDeleteOhhh... Good to know. I just ran out of some of my favorite ELF products. I'll definitely add this to my order.
ReplyDeleteWhere'd you get the dress you're wearing in the Vegas pic? That's adorbs!!!
ReplyDeletesorry I totally commented on the wrong post....
ReplyDeleteI must take another trip to Target and purchase these babies! Heck I have like NO makeup I need it! ha lovely post!
ReplyDeleteNew follower!!! So excited. Love your blog. :))
