My Favorite E.L.F Cosmetics Products

I’ve finally found in my country the E.l.f cosmetics brand and decided to buy some. They’re really cheap and after hearing a lot of them clearly I was excited that I would finally try them. Here are the products I bought and what I personally think of them basing it on how the worked on my skin.

1. Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder (St. Lucia)

I had doubts about this one and clearly thought they wouldn’t paint or be noticeable on my skin ( I’m pale). But I was surprised, the blush is a perfect color for everyday wear. I find it lasts the day and gives a very natural look. On the bronzer side I personally have to be careful because it can really look too dark (on my skin). Just in case they’re highly pigmented so be careful when applying it.

2. Translucent Matifying Powder

My skin is very oily, at the point that my T-zone can look very shiny enough in just 1 hour. I found out that it’s better to use the sponge, dab it onto your face because its supposed to absorb oil. if you just dust it on top it will look really cakey/flakey. I seriously love it. Takes the shine right out of my face, perfect size to throw in my purse. For the price and the quality I can not complain.

3.Wet Gloss Lash & Brow Clear Mascara

I Love this product so much and for 1$ even better. It really tame my messy eyebrows. It runs out quicker than you would expect thats why when I go to the store I buy around 7 just in case ( They’re also difficult to find). I don’t really use the product on my lashes … Thats why I don’t talk about using it as a mascara.

4. Elf Flawless Eyeshadow (Golden Goddess)

These Eyeshadows where a HUGE surprise. They’re very pigmented ( for the price). I love how vibrant the colors look and you can really create different looks depending on the amount you use and switching colors. I use a very small amount on my daily routine and they can really make a difference on giving definition to my eyes.I want to line my eyes, I will use the bottom color(matte dark brown). For 2$ they’re really a steal.

5. Elf Cream Eyeliner (Black)

This eyeliner is long lasting but easy to remove. Goes on very smooth.You have to get used to how easily it spreads though so be careful when applying it. I bought this eyeliner to replace my usual daily use brand, and I am very glad I did!

I do own most of the E.L.F lipsticks and I’m going to talk about them later including my Wet n’ Wild favorites when I have my Canon camera back (That’s why I didn’t use my own photos ).

Hair Care

For some girls hair is a very important part of their body.It can completely change our appearance.We surely want a healthy and beautiful hair, if we want that there are some tips and ways to take care of it. Here are some things that you should know.

The first thing that causes damages to the strands is the heat, avoid using the hottest setting on your hair dryer and mostly if you’re later using a flat iron. Also be sure to point the airflow down on the hair shaft to prevent frizz.

Stress, smoking, and bad eating habits can make your hair dull and prone to breakage.

Your hair is its most fragile when wet, so try avoiding excessive brushing or combing until it’s most dry. For some of us is hard to shower with cold water but it’s better to rinse your hair with it.Why? this helps to seal the cuticle, making it harder for moisture to enter the hair follicle, which can cause frizz.

Giving yourself a scalp massage in the shower every morning may seem like a waste of time, but it really does stimulate your hair growth and enhance the strength of your roots

Hair is made up of a protein called keratin, so be sure to include plenty of protein in your diet to prevent the ends from splitting in the first place.

Washing hair too often can leave hair dried out, leached of its natural oils, and may damage your hair.

Choose a shampoo that suits your hair type. Don’t just go for any cheap shampoo; go for the shampoo that is right for your hair type.

Brushing your hair stimulates the follicles which promotes growth, but brushing too much too often, will cause damage to your hair

So I know there are way more tips but I’m in a hurry right now and wanted to publish some.
