E.L.F. Makeup and Cosmetics: For Divas on a Budget

As a college student on a budget I am always looking for ways to look great however, I do not always have a lot of money to do it with. I do not know too many college girls that have a budget which allows them to buy a $30 lip gloss.

A few years ago I discovered the cosmetic line E.L.F. and all of my fashionista dreams came true. This Cosmetic line is so unique because they offer most of their cosmetic items for a price no higher than $5! The company even sells lip gloss for a $1.

Now I know what a lot of people are thinking because I thought it to: how good can this make up be if it only cost a few dollars?

E.L.F make up creates premium cosmetic products with premium ingredients. The company has become so popular in the last 7 years because of their amazingly fair pricing. Below is a break down of my favorite items from the e.l.f line.

This natural mineral lipstick means exactly what it says. This e.l.f. cosmetic is 100% made out of minerals. This lipstick will make your lips look healthy and glamorous but will also keep them amazingly healthy.The lipstick is made with natural oils and vitamins so you don't have to worry about that sticky and pasty feeling you get from other lip sticks.

There is nothing chalky about this lip stick, it glides on smoothly and last for hours. To keep your color lasting a little longer apply a thin coating of their amazing Hypershine lip gloss. The mineral mineral lip stick will keep you happy for just $5 per lip stick.

The Hypershine Gloss is my favorite product from the e.l.f. cosmetic line! It only cost $1 but delivers excellent results. The gloss comes in 12 different colors that is sure to give you any glam look your looking for.

The gloss is easy to apply by twisting the gloss up through a tube and sliding it on with an easy application brush. It's great to slide over your mineral lipstick to get that perfect shine or just to get that stain lip color you want with a little shine.

Like all of their products their Brightening Eye Color line is affordable and easy to use. Each eye shadow compact comes with four colors. Some colors are natural for when you want to be beautiful but you also want to be subtle about it. Other colors are dramatic for wild evenings out. The compacts come in a variety of different colors to pull off any look you want.

A compact with blue, purple and pink is great for a night out with your friends. A compact with brown, gold and light pink is perfect for that first date. All compacts come with a mirror and cost just $1 to make your eyes pop.

The e.l.f. mascara is particularly inviting because one end of the tube has regular mascara and the other end has water proof mascara. The mascara is so good it was recommended in O magazine! Your eye lashes will shine whether your at the mall or relaxing by the pool, this cosmetic is also $1

The e.l.f. Tone Correcting Concealer offers great coverage for just $1. The application is easy and non-messy. The concealer is applied by placing a wand on the blemishes and blending into the skin.

The wand comes in a variety of colors so that you never have to worry about your skin tone looking washed out or too dark. The silicon ingredient added to the concealer allows your face to look smooth and eliminates redness.

The Essential Natural Radiance blush allows your cheeks a healthy glow. It also gives you a smooth finish and minimizes your pores for a smoother look. Colors like pink and gold are sure to give you the radiant shine you need for that special occasion

Since e.l.f.'s popularity has been growing substantially over the last 7 years they are becoming available in more and more stores. I often purchase these e.l.f. products at Target or K-mart, you can also purchase this great cosmetic line at e.l.f.com I have tried all of the above products and still continue to use them today.
