St. Ives Timeless Skin Collagen Elastin Facial Moisturizer
Best moisturizer ever for dry, sensitive skin
Updated 2 years later: No joke I had a guy tell me he thought I was 18. I'm 31. This stuff is amazing. I discovered this stuff in college. My roommate suffered from very dry skin and she used this. At first I was a little scared to use it because I have very acne prone skin and it does have mineral oil in it. Here is what I love about it. 1.) The price. I used to use the yellow Clinique moisturizer. However I switched to this. It is a fraction of the cost of any moisturizer out there and comes in a huge package. It usually lasts at least a year for me. 2.) Great texture and absorbs quickly. I didn't start using this for the anti-aging component. During the winter, my cheeks and forehead get extremely dry. I noticed my cheeks starting to peel. I tried a lot of other brands aimed at my age group (products designed to fight acne or block the sun), but none were thick enough. I remembered my roommate using the stuff. So despite it saying it was to help combat wrinkles, I used it. It is very thick and rich and does the job better than anything else out there. 3.) Anti-aging? I'm just starting to get to the age where other women my age are seeing wrinkles. I turn 30 this year. I've used this stuff religiously for 6 years and most people say I look 21-23.

If you are new to contouring and don't want to drop big bucks on an expensive palette, this is great to use. For concealing the pinkish shade and the yellow shade do the best job at hiding my extremely dark under eye circles. My only complaint is that the product is a little sticky. But it is really great to use to learn the basics of contouring. Use this until you master it and then head to Sephora and get yourself a pricier kit.

I've been trying to find a good dry shampoo and so far this has been the best for a moderate price. The smell of the original is kinda icky. So I'll probably try one of the other scents. Also I learned that if I go too long using it (only 3 days for me), the build up makes my hair really dull. However overall it is a great product.

I bought this in green to use with a poison ivy costume. I thought that it would give my eyes a nice pop of green. Instead it is so subtle it isn't even worth it. Don't waste your money.

There isn't enough good I can say about this product. It is very affordable and the look is amazing. I have it in a very natural shade so it doesn't really look like I'm wearing anything. In comparison to other matte lipsticks I own from drugstores, it doesn't dry my lips out at all. It stays on my lips extremely well. I really would like to own it in more shades.

It seems a little silly to complain about the value of an elf product. However the size is extremely misleading. The primer itself is okay. Pretty much the same as any dimethicone based primer out there. However, its a very very very tiny amount hidden in a huge bottle. For a few dollars more Hard Candy makes an excellent primer that is many more times the size.

I first bought this for going on a trip and didn't want to pack much makeup. It doesn't really work for anything it is meant to do. It just slides off my eyes, even with layering. It's way too dry on my lips and then it just looks like I put lipstick on my cheeks. It's a good concept but not that great.

As with most elf products, you can't beat the product for the price. I've been using a sample of a much higher quality powder recently, and while I like it better, there's a reason why it is a $40 powder and this is just a few bucks. It's amazing and has lasted me a long time, which isn't usually the case for many elf products.

The concealer is pretty bad. If your skin isn't oily and you don't have dark circles it may work. However I found that it just slid off my skin and barely covered anything. However I love the highlighter and wish I could purchase just it. It is easy to apply and blends wonderfully.

I used Brow-zing for awhile, but I recently dyed my hair dark and I can't justify spending that type of money again. This product is VERY similar for a fraction of the price. The brush that comes with it works great for the wax. However, I do have to use a more angled brush for the powder. Overall though, an amazing steal!
