E.L.F. Gets you Photoshoot Fresh

September 6, 2012

More days than not I am wearing makeup. I am wearing makeup that, more often than not, I have to wear from early in the morning until late in the evening. Things like eye primer, lip primer, good mascara, and blush will help me go from a full day at the office to after work fashion events. Fall is fashion season, and it will put any beauty regimen to the test. My daughter and I went for a trip to the New City Target in downtown Chicago to close some gaps in my makeup supply.
City Target

E.L.F. Cosmetics is a great brand I heard of several years ago for being affordable. E.L.F. stands for Eyes Lips and Face, and trust me there have something for all three! I started by using their lip glosses years back, but have grown to love this best beauty bang for my buck brand. (Say that 10 times fast) I already own some items, and this trip I am really looking for items that can help me transition my look from day to night and one that will help me make it through the day. I was saddened that the selection at the City Target wasn’t bigger. I searched the aisles to find them just on the end cap, but I would make the best of the modest selection. I already had some items coming from the E.L.F. website so I guess I could make do with what was in front of me.

I grabbed a cute blush called Candid Coral. A little compact for day to night looks with both dark and light colors in a neutral palette. An extra contour brush for my eyes, and a nude lipstick, and some false eyelashes for good measure. These items are like my staples. When you find a good color for day into evening you have to stick with what works. These items from E.L.F. did the trick.

As a beauty and fashion blogger I am always running into people at fashion and boutique events. I always want to look my best. I can tell you E.L.F. makeup always keeps me covered. I can add more as the day goes on and refresh my lips and transition from day to night without hesitation.

Here are two recent looks from long days into nights. A cute dress in a pop of color and you are ready to roll! You can find more about my shopping trip to the new city target here. Have you used E.L.F. brand before? Tell me what you loved or hated in the comments below.

    I love the ELF bronzer! I like ELF because it gets the job done for little of nothing. I can take $10 into the Target and leave with lots of ELF products to try including BRUSHES! Nice post!

      Beatrice, I love ELF stuff. I used a lot of brands, but like you said ELF does the trick for little or nothing!

    I like ELF. I like the price and the small portable size! I just ordered one of the eyeshadow palettes. I’m excited to experiment with it.
