I am actually a big fan of Bare Essentials, but wanted to find a line that was a bit cheaper. I did find cheaper, but the quality was just not the same. Well I decided to try one more time and placed an order at E.L.F. Cosmetics. The prices were so unbelievable, I felt I really had nothing to lose. Most of there makeup is just $1.
Here is what I was planning on purchasing through Bare Essentials:
Foundation $25
Mineral Veil $19
Flawless Application Face Brush: $28
Total: $72
Here is what I ended up getting through E.L.F.:
Mineral Foundation $5
Booster (similar to Mineral Veil) $5
Glow $8
Total Face Brush $1
Smokey Eye Kit (mineral) $12
Mascara $1
2 eye shadows $2
4 eyeliners $4
Manicure Kit (3 polishes) $3
Eye Lashes $1
Total: $42
Shipping: $6.95
Discount code: ELF4U Buy One Get One 50% Off! ($10.50)
Final Price: $38.45
I have been using the makeup for over a week now and am actually very impressed by it. The mineral makeup is very nice. I also really love the make up brushes! Especially the savings of $27.
Wondering how they can sell their products so cheep? Here is what E.L.F. has to say: “We are often asked how we are able to provide our customers with such wonderful products, many for as little as $1. By developing quality cosmetics and the highest standard of service, but using the internet for branding rather than higher-priced advertising media; by sourcing the best ingredients at competitive prices; and by prioritizing our products, rather than their packaging, e.l.f. always provides you with quality and value.” E.L.F. Cosmetics have also been featured in O Magazine, Cosmopolitan, Vogue, Elle, Glamor and many more.
