Elf Part 2
For my second part of my ELF/eyeslipsface.com review I am going to talk about the Mineral Line and the Studio Line Products that I have gotten over the years.
Mineral:
The mineral line is an inexpensive line of mineral makeup. There are kits for different skin tones, eyeshadow looks (smokey eyes for example), brushes, and more. Overall it is a good line, not expensive and good quality mineral makeup. I do love the foundation and will be getting for a 3rd time shortly.
 | Mineral Eyeshadow: This is a loose mineral eyeshadow that comes in a shaker container. I have the Earthy Shade. For $3 I would say that is a great deal if you like mineral eyeshadow. I find that it is quite shimmery, but I find that about all mineral products (especially eyeshadows). I only have Earthy because I wanted to try one out and see how I liked it before I ordered more. I would order again. |
 | Mineral Foundation: Comes in a larger shaker container than the eyeshadow, this foundation is wonderful. I found it was not too shimmery and equally as good as the MAC version, but $5! It also offers SPF protection, which is always a plus. I am a Light, which is odd since I am normally the lightest colour available. I have ordered this twice now and will reorder when I run low again. |
| Mineral Concealer: Looks the exact same as the foundation. It is super shimmery and I suppose the idea is to diffuse the look of flaws. I did not like this, I tossed it right away. $5 |
 | Mineral Blush: Same size and packaging as the foundation. I personally did not keep this, I bought it for a friend who loves Sheer Cover. She said she liked it a lot but still loves her Sheer Cover. For $5 I would think I might switch, but she is such a fan how could I convert her? |
 | Eyeshadow Primer: This is a wand that has a sponge on it for application, It is flesh toned and slightly tacky. It is a decent primer, I honestly have not given it enough of a chance yet. So far I think it is a good product for $3. |
Studio Line:
The studio line is 'pro' quality products at $3 an item (except where listed). Overall I am impressed with this line...really impressed. I want more!
 | Lip Primer & Plumper: This is a dual ended lipstick tube. On one side "primer" the other "plump". The Primer side has a concealer like stick on the end. It is extremely smooth/balmy and is not really a good lip primer. When I tried to put lipstick on top of it my lipstick had the product all over it. The Plump side is a cinnamony clear stick that is meant to plump your lips. It truly reminds me of a stick version of Duwop's Lipvennom. The plump side seemed a little small and actually broke on me, yet I still love it and will be getting it for me and my many friends. I must also state, I never find products like this work for plumping....but I still love it. $3. |
 | Eyeliner & Shadow Stick: With an retractable eyeliner on one side and a complementing shadow stick on the other, this is a nice purse product. I have the green/moss combo. I like the liner a lot but find the shadow a bit slippery. When I apply the liner over the shadow it seems to move bit, for $3 I would buy again . |
 | Eye Primer & Liner Sealer: One side has a 'primer' stick that looks like a concealer stick. It actually is a great shadow primer. I found it works well and is definitely worth the money. The other side is a 'seal' side. This end has a nub with a clear liquid on it that can be mixed with eyeshadows to create an eyeshadow. This works well , but heck so does water. $3, I would buy again. |
 | Eyebrow Kit: This has a creamy dark side and a powdery lighter side. Meant to be mixed together using the brush that is included to make your brows look great. I find this a great product. No complaints. $3, I would buy again. |
 | Eye Transformer: This palette has four eyeshadows in it that are meant to transform your current collection into new shades. Each having a different shimmer to to and different tone I think this is a must have for any kit. Great for highlighting, using alone or creating new looks with existing shadows. For $3 go get it, NOW! |
 | Corrective Concealer: Four concealers meant to camouflage and conceal. I found this too waxy and did not like it. $3, I would not buy again, but will try it again and see if my view changes. |
 | Small Smudge Brush: This is an awesome little brush, great for smudging like it say, but also for lining your under eyes or details. $3 |
 | Contour Brush: This is a great eyeshadow brush and an even better contour brush. Buy it, it is great quality and worth the money. $3 |
 | Eyebrow Treat & Tame: I like this one the most. One side is 'treat'. It is a clear liquid with a small brush on it. It is meant to help your lashes re grow after over plucking. Not a problem I have, so I haven't used it too much. It is not gel like in finish so it would not make a good brow gel. The other side it the 'tame' side. This has a pigmented brow gel in it that has a mascara like wand on it. I have this in medium, I love the colour, it is a reddish brown so it goes better with my hair than any other brow product I have tried. The wand make it easier for me to use than the eyebrow kit. For $3 I am going to get a few for my next order. |
