Santa's Little ELF

This year, your face is getting a little treat from Santa via your favorite E.L.F--E.L.F. Cosmetics, which is available in Target stores this holiday season! E.L.F. (Eyes Lips Face) Cosmetics is best known for its inexpensive products—most individual makeup items (a lipgloss, an eye shadow, etc.) are priced at $1.00 with gift sets just slightly more expensive starting at $5.00. Bath and Body items are also moderately priced at approximately $4.00 per bottle, with gift sets being slightly more expensive as well. While the prices are amazing, the snag with ordering these beauty cheapies online is usually in the shipping costs. If you’re just ordering a few items, shipping costs can mirror or even exceed the price of your actual order— so it’s not always a very cost effective endeavor. In general, one way to combat this is by placing group orders with friends and splitting the shipping costs. But right now, an even better way to avoid missing out on these great products is the ability to purchase in-store at local Target stores!

There is no sacrifice in quality with E.L.F. cosmetics. The products are on par with other popular inexpensive or drugstore brands. The duo eye shadow cream is a favorite item of mine—it goes on the eyelid evenly, lasts all day and comes in a variety of complimentary colors.
