REVIEW: ELF STUDIO LIP STAIN

ELF STUDIO LIP STAIN is a part of my WEEKLY REVIEW

ELF IS NOT available in CANADA in STORES, BUT is available ONLINE. The SHIPPING is around $14.95CAD to CANADA

Most items on the site vary from $1CAD~$15 CAD I usually order on BLACK FRIDAY where there is EVERYTHING is HALF OFF (UP TO $100 of savings)

This product is part of the STUDIO line which starts from $3~$15USD

The 3 shades I have are:(in TOTAL this product has 8 SHADES)

1. #101011 HEART BREAKER
2. #01117 BIRTHDAY SUIT
3. #01124 LUCKY LADY

• I used these products WITHOUT any lip balm /lip liner/lip gloss and DID NOT touch up

PROS:

• Colour can be BUILT UP

• The colour CAN last a very long time (about 6 hours)

• Will STAIN lips (without lip balm- it DRIES and settles into the fine lines/dry spots on your lips)

CONS:

• The formula is VERY WATERY almost a OILY feel

• Dries to a MATT finish but it IS DRYING

• The GLOSS wand is VERY HARD- the texture is VERY HARD

OVERALL: I WOULD RECOMMEND this product- IF you use it with a LIP BALME and apply your own gloss. It DID STAIN my lips, but remember that it is DRYING WITHOUT LIP GLOSS.

REVIEW: ELF eyebrow TREAT&TAME

ELF eyebrow TREAT&TAME  $3.00 USA is part of my WEEKLY REVIEW

ELF IS NOT available in CANADA in STORES, BUT is available ONLINE. The SHIPPING is around $14.95CAD to CANADA

Most items on the site vary from $1CAD~$15 CAD I usually order on BLACK FRIDAY where there is EVERYTHING is HALF OFF (UP TO $100 of savings)

THIS one is in the colour DEEP(#81205)

(This product comes in a TOTAL of 5 SHADES)

• The product is DOUBLE ENDED 

• The TOP RIGHT shows the EYEBROW BRUSH/"TAME" end brush has SHORT and SPIRALS DOWN in the SAME LENGTH

• The other end is the "TREAT" end is a STRAIGHT brush, it IS somewhat flexible 

The "TREAT" end is suppose to help with the RE-GROWTH of your eyebrow

PROS:

• The colour is VERY PIGMENTED

• The "TAME" brush has FIBRE like materials attached to it, making it easier for the formula to adhere to your eyebrow (even if you don't have a lot of hair)
• The "TREAT" end acts as a BROW GEL 

• The colour WILL NOT rub off once it is DRY

• DOES NOT dry out/ or make your eyebrows "crispy"

CONS:

• The product can get GOUPY at the END of the "TAME" brush

OVERALL: I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND this product to EVERYONE!!! There is enough colour selection that I think everyone will be able to find their own brow shade. The product WORKS BEST if you BRUSH through your brows AFTER.

I would this RECOMMEND this EVEN to BEGINNERS. I would probably say that it will WORK BETTER if you already have some eyebrow hairs to work with, as the formula sticks to HAIR better. It still DOES FILL in the areas where you LACK HAIR.

This is a PERFECT product for those days when you don't want to take the time (in my case I just lack the skills) to DRAW your brow and FILL them in neatly with a powder product. 

I have the Benefit Gimme Brow ($26CAD) AND the SEVERAL ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS (anywhere from $20~60CAD) and I REACH for this product A LOT more often. It is sooo much easier to use and you CAN NOT BEAT the price ($3)
