I love eyebrows, I think it’s the final touch to completing a flawless look! We have a great product called the Eyebrow Kit that helps to shape and define your eyebrows beautifully and for only $3 (other brands cost upwards to $30)! The pigmented wax defines and shapes brows and the color complementing setting powder keeps them looking arched and perfected. The doubled sided taklon brush has one side to help arch your brows while the other side aids in filling them in. This duo provides lasting color definition for a naturally beautiful look. To apply, use the pigmented brow gel to define and shape the brows with the angled brush for precise lines. Set the color in with the brow powder and fill in with the blending brush for a natural finished look.Here’s what others are saying about our Eyebrow Kit:
Jen from AZ said: “This is by far the best brow kit I have used, and I typically buy high end makeup. Everything glides on, blends easily and a little bit goes a long way.”
Miisz Prettii from VA said: “I bought this kit a few months ago but didn't really use it. I planned on getting my eyebrows waxed and planned on using it (that’s why I got). I've recently gotten my eyebrows done and this product is SO PERFECT!!! I absolutely L-O-V-E it!!! It makes my eyebrows look really defined and full! LOVEZZ IT!!! If your skeptical about buying it GO AHEAD 
AND GET IT, you won’t regret it!!!!”

Tired nights after a long day can leave me less than motivated for a beauty cleanup for bed. So for everyone looking for a easy beauty routine, check out our Makeup Remover Cleansing Cloths. They gently and easily clean skin to remove all traces of makeup and dirt, even waterproof mascara. They are great for on-the-go travel or convenient for bathroom storage. Gentle cloths are soft and soothing for even the most sensitive skin. Infused with Aloe Vera Extract for deep hydration and moisture. 20 Pre-moistened cloths included. To use, gently wipe face with the cloth to remove dirt and makeup. Rinse off with warm water and towel dry. Dispose of the cloth in trash receptacle (do not flush). After removing cloth, reseal and close lid. Here’s what others are saying about this product:Alie from Los Angeles said: “I just received my latest E.L.F. order which included these makeup remover cleansing cloths and I am just amazed at how well they remove every trace of makeup. These are very wet (unlike the other brands) and instantly dissolve everything, mascara, liner, shadow, foundation, blush without having to rub hard. The price is great too. I have sensitive eyes, skin and these did not cause me any problems. I will never again buy the drugstore brand wipes as these are far superior.”
MakeupLover from Los Angeles said: “Love this product. All you sensitive skin people don't need to worry because this product is workable. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Its presentation is very professional and I absolutely believe that its similar to higher brand names such as MAC. Now hurry and buy yourself one”

After two days my breakouts were gone.”
Mineral Maven from CA said: “Even at 50 I am cursed w/the occasional break out. Many acne products are irritating and cause my skin to peel and flake terribly. NOT THIS!!

Waxing Tips 1:
To make waxing pain-free, moisturize the affected area about an hour before any hair is pulled. Moisturizing will soften your skin and hairs, helping them to come out painlessly.
To cut down razor burn, try shaving in the shower. Showering in warm water a few minutes before a shave is sure to soften the hairs, making them more easily removed.
Waxing Tips 2:
Most women get razor burn in the bikini area simply because they do not apply a moisturizer after they’re done shaving. If one of these many women, it’s time to invest in a decent post-shave moisturizer.
If extractions make you dread going to the esthetician, request that they be done ‘wet.’ A ‘wet’ extraction involves an esthetician applying water or another emollient on your face before extraction which will act as a lubricating barrier, eliminating that pinching feeling.
Waxing Tips 3:
“When it comes to jeans, you might be tempted to wear them over and over to get the lived-in look and feel, but doing so can cause another set of issues. All of the oils build up around your pelvic region and get trapped in the pants, which, in turn, may create challenges, including bikini bumps, redness, rashes, and other things. Therefore, try to be mindful of how often you wear something, and you can minimize these problems.”

Want long lasting eyeshadow and eyeliner? Then you have got to check out our Studio Eye Primer & Liner Sealer. The Prime side sets your eyeshadow in so your color won’t fade, bleed or crease. The Liner side transforms your favorite eye shadow into a waterproof, smudge-proof liquid liner with this unique clear liquid and built-in felt tip precision eyeliner brush. Now you can have your eye makeup lasting longer for no fuss no budge color. Use the “prime” side to create a base for your eyeshadow. Apply to the eyelid and blend in. Use the “seal” side and mix your favorite eyeshadow color in with the brush and apply to the lash line as a liner. For best results wipe off and clean applicator before closing. Remove with eye makeup remover. Here’s what others are saying about this product. Reba from CA said: “To say the least, Wow! This primer liner is fabulous. I have been in search for a liner seal and thought I would try this and for the price I cannot say enough great things about it, the primer is pretty great too. I have very oily skin, including my eye lids and this stuff works. I am in my mid forties and use high end cosmetics for many years. I am amazed with elf cosmetics, thus far. I have acne prone skin so I am very cautious on what I put on my skin, but I am willing to give this line a try, can't hurt for the price, if they don't work I will give them to my mom who doesn't have to worry about breakouts and oily skin.”
Primers #1 Fan from UT said: “I use this product everyday! If you put the right amount on first, then apply your eyeshadow it works miracles!! There have been times when I had gone to bed without taking my makeup off and when I woke up the next morning my eyeshadow looked the same way it did when I put it on the day before. It's INCREDIBLE! get it NOW!”
