Ridiculously affordable and of excellent quality, e.l.f. Cosmetics offers makeup options comparable to some of the most iconic department store staples. Moving beyond color, eyes lips face (e.l.f. to friends) launched their first ever skincare collection earlier this year. The Soothing Serum, Illuminating Eye Cream, Daily Hydration Moisturizer and Nourishing Night Cream reflect the brand’s universal approach and are suitable for all skin types, tones, and ages.
Focusing on hydration. e.l.f. skincare aims to deliver healthy, glowing skin with a simple, effective routine. Free of parabens, sulfates, and overhyped claims, these gentle formulas are soothing, calming, and nourishing. Covering day, night, and eye, these new skin treats get your face ready for a lasting makeup application and keep you looking fresh even on days when you opt to go bare.
Silky and lightweight, the e.l.f. Soothing Serum absorbs instantly and layers well under day or nighttime moisturizer. Infused with Jojoba, Aloe and Vitamin E, it packs in a mega dose of hydration without ever feeling heavy on the skin. When applied after cleansing and exfoliating, this serum leaves a breathable veil of moisture with almost a dewy finish. Pretty. Impressive.
The Illuminating Eye Cream is a no fuss treatment that does a few crucial things extremely well. It keeps the area under the eyes continuously hydrated to ensure the smoothest concealer application that won’t slide down your face within an hour. The touch of Shea Butter makes it just creamy enough to work day or night. Completely non-irritating, it contains soothing Cucumber Extract and purified water to de-puff and protect the delicate skin around the eye.
Both Daily Hydration Moisturizer and Nourishing Night Cream showcase similar botanicals in their ingredient decks. With Aloe, Cucumber, Shea Butter, Orange, Sugar Maple, and Jojoba Oil, these wrinkle plumping hydrators deliver ample levels of moisture to every skin type. While the daytime formula has added Grape Seed Oil to fight free radical damage and comes in a travel friendly tube with a pump dispenser, the airy and whipped to perfection Night Cream is significantly richer in texture. My combination skin is enjoying both versions but does exceptionally well with the Daily Moisturizer, which has a subtle and pleasant scent.
Considering the insane price point ($8-$12), and the posh packaging, the brand new range of e.l.f. skincare is rather phenomenal. Explore the entire line at www.eyeslipsface.com and if you need more ideas, try the Makeup Remover Cleansing Cloths ($3) and Mineral Bronzer ($5).
