e.l.f. Cosmetics

So a few weeks ago I decided to go out and get some new foundation and powder. Probably something you all should know is that even with my love for makeup this is the one thing that I am always hesitant at doing. I'm always afraid  I'm going to find something that my skin does not like. Why do I say skin you might ask? Well I tend to break out very easily with the wrong kinds of foundation. I've had problems with this for some time now, so of course before I go out and buy I do my research. With that being said I am also on a little bit of a money crunch and trying to look for the best product possible for the dollar. After much deliberation and a whole lot of research I finally decided to take my butt to Target and purchase the e.l.f. Flawless Finish Foundation and the e.l.f  Translucent Matifying Powder. Now of course I love e.l.f. Not only do they have amazing products but they are also super affordable. I was a little hesitant about this, seeing as how I paid the same amount for both of these products as I would have paid for lets say...a Maybelline foundation. After a weeks of use I was very shocked and very pleased. First off, I did not break out at all from this foundation. In fact my skin got better and started clearing up a bit. Before this foundation I had purchased a product from Sally's that I completely fell in love with. After the change of seasons however, my skin started freaking out. This foundation, in my opinion, offers what I want for full coverage. Not cakey at all and still covers what you need, not to mention a little bit goes a long way on a moisturized face. ( I will go into my moisturizer in a different post) Moving on to the Matifying Powder. I was completely amazed when I put this on top of my e.l.f foundation and saw that it was pretty close to what my face would look like had I used my airbrush system for foundation. I was completely amazed and in awe. It's super light and none of the products wore off as quickly as most of the other products I have used by the end of the day. I still have yet to go through a day at work and reapply my foundation and powder. I'm super happy with these two products, not only is the quality amazing but the price is completely astonishing. My only complaint, I wish there was more product in the powder. I hope this answers any questions that you may have had about the products and I highly encourage you to go out and try them for yourselves.
