Guest Post: E.L.F Essentials Lipstick Review

By -

“This moisture rich formula hydrates conditions and softens on contact for silky smooth lips. Instantly beautiful, healthy-looking lips designed, formulated and tested by our professional team of makeup artists.” 

The description E.L.F provides is pretty much dead on! I am in love with the formulation of this lipsticks. They glide on smoothly and feel like butter on my lips, and at only $1 they are a definite steal. 

E.L.F offers a variety of 12 colors, 6 of which are new. I own two: Gypsy & Classy. Gypsy is a beautiful berry colored pink, while classy is more of a cool toned natural pink. I have bought Classy two times because I love it so much, it is one of those colors that looks like my natural lip color...BUT BETTER :)



You receive a total of 3.5 g of product and it comes in your average lipstick twist-up tube. The container is made of plastic but I have found that it is resistant and does not break easily. The color pay off is great and these lipsticks have just enough pigmentation. I would say the finish is comparable to MAC’s satin or creamsheen finishes.Throughout the day the formulation hydrates my lips and does not dry them, but I find that the product is not SUPER long lasting, although it does leave my lips stained with a bit of color. 

Overall, I am definitely impressed with the E.L.F lipsticks. :)
PACKAGING: 5 out of 5
FORMULATION: 4.5 out of 5
FINAL THOUGHT: 4 out of 5 

My final thought is based on the fact that the lipstick does not last a long time and because not all colors are readily available at Target, only online. 

Would I repurchase and do I recommend? Definitely!

GYPSY IS ON THE LEFT, CLASSY IS ON THE RIGHT :) 

Have you tried the E.L.F Lipsticks? What are your thoughts?

    Excellent stats provided. Going to try at least one of these colors before the end of the month. With 12 colors, there's plenty to select! :)

As we inch closer to the new year it's a great to reminisce at some of the style high points of 2011! Crazy Hair Colors:  Katy Perry went pink, Charlotte Free went pink, Lady Gaga went pink. It was definitely a wild trend!  Red Hair: This was a popular hair color this year with stars like Drew Barrymore, Demi Lovato, Blake Lively, and Emma Stone rocking their red locks.  Ombre Nails: Ombre hair has been extremely popular trend the last couple of years, but ombre nails made a big splash in the world of fashion this year.  Fuchsia  Lip: This bold lip color was featured at Diane von Furstenberg, but Natalie Portman showed off a more wearable version at the Golden Globes.  Dip Dye Hair: Ombre hair was taken to a completely new level with the introduction of rainbow colors. Lauren Conrad was a huge part of making this such a popular trend.  What were your favorite trends of 2011?

Keratin Hair Treatments: The Answer to All My Problems?

By -

The quest for perfect hair seems like a never ending battle. Products everywhere claim that they will solve all your hair problems, but I have yet to find one that actually will (if you happen to know of one, please tell me :D.) But there is a new process that has caught my eye... keratin hair treatments. What do keratin hair treatments do? Keratin hair treatments involve a process that can get rid of up to 99% of frizz, straighten hair, make hair soft & shiny, and protect the hair from toxins like UV rays, smoke, & pollution. How does this process do it? Wow! This really does seem like the end to my hair battle? Well, keratin is what hair (and nails) are naturally made up of. When we use styling tools, expose hair to chemical processes and toxins in the environment, the keratin in your hair becomes less effective at its job (keeping your hair strong and looking healthy.) Where can I get it and how much will it hurt my wallet? You can get it at a salon and it shou...
