[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 342317, member: 1233"] I LOVE this stuff!!! Jess is using it almost exclusively. The only item I don't like is the waterproof mascara. J and I have real mascara problems - nothing stays put long, and the elf mascara isn't great for us. If you have an acne problem they have a concealer pencil/brush combo that treats the acne as well as covering it. They have products for EVERYONE. I have used mineral, studio, and regular lines as well as brushes and other tools. They are AWESOME. Periodically they have a deal for a free mini-makeup kit. It is well worth trying. Great set up, nice products, makes an awesome gift. Target sells some of their line. To get most things you must go online, but it is worth the shipping. They also have a free magazine subscription (Vogue) if you spend $35. They had a 70% off mineral makeup sale a while back. Jessie ordered a lot, including kabuki brushes for Xmas gifts (very impressive and as nice as my Bare Minerals one bought years ago). I paid shipping and bought a few items also. The mag is one J is enjoying (too many perfume ads for my reading). Overall we got items that would have cost several hundred dollars for comparable quality even from a drugstore line. The sizes are small. What you get from other companies often looks like more. It may or may not be. I like the smaller size. It lets me replace the items as often as recommended with-o feeling like it is killing my wallet because so much is wasted and it costs so much money to replace. If nothing else I feel "greener" because I am tossing less away when I pitch older products, LOL. Elf has LOTS of sales and discounts. They also have many products that work on more than one area. They have a facial whip that is a nice blush/bronzer but also adds a bit of color to eyes and lips. Even easier to use is the 3 in 1 stick for eyes lips and face. It feels good, blends well, and if you apply several thin coats the color builds up very nicely with-o looking overdone or streaky. I find that the mineral products are pretty much like any other mineral product, at least for the powders. I haven't used the mineral lipsticks, etc.. much. I just use the powders and lipbalm or gloss, have for years. This may or may not apply to anyone else, but I like it. These products stay on nicely but are not at all hard to remove. Often the extended wear products are hard to get off and they end up irritating my skin because traces are left. These come off nicely. My skin feels clean after I wash it, not like it has stuff on it (Estee Lauder's long wearing line is the WORST for this. Even with makeup remover (theirs) and several cleansing steps my skin still feels like the makeup is there. ICK to my Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) tendencies!) These products do not have overwhelming scents, they don't make my acne or Jessie's worse than any other product, and they do what they say they will. Plus they come in fun colors.
