e.l.f. Cosmetics Review + FREE Studio Mini Makeup Collection with a $10 Purchase

One of the companies I was really excited to meet with at BlogHer '09 was e.l.f. Cosmetics. I have mentioned them to you in the past when I told you about their great nail polish back in June, so it was a real treat for me to see more of their products "up close and personal" and also find out about a few new things coming soon.

e.l.f.’s philosophy is that "beauty comes from within and it's our goal to enable every woman to look and feel her personal best through the perfect blend of both the inner and outer person. With that goal in mind, e.l.f. cosmetics was born – a line of simple, luxurious, problem-solution tools that allow you to showcase and believe in your unique, personal beauty. Our cosmetics are designed to improve and accentuate the individual, not hide her away."

e.l.f. does a great job of supporting this philosophy by providing a line of products that is not only simple and luxurious, but also very VERY affordable. Many of their products are only $1 each and it's hard to find anything over $5. That means they are within a price range that you can easily experiment with different shades and combinations and also keep on hand enough colors or shades for any occasion. You know those days after you have been on vacation or just out in the sun a few days in a row and your concealer or blusher isn't quite right any more? Well, at $1 a pop, you can take along both your pre-sun and after-sun colors!

As an exciting bonus, e.l.f. has created a special BlogHer offer. With any order of $10 or more you can receive a FREE Studio Mini Makeup Collection (a $15 value). This convenient makeup collection for eyes, lips and face that allows you to be your own makeup artist whenever, wherever. It includes:

-9 eyeshadow shades
-1 cream eyeshadow shade
-1 blush
-1 bronzer
-10 lip gloss shades
-1 brow powder
-1 eye liner pencil
-1 dual ended eyeshadow appliacator and brush
-1 face brush
-1 lip brush

Revlon Runway Collection Nails - Review & Giveaway

Get absolute glamour at your finger tips with Runway Collection, design nails inspired from the latest couture fashions straight off the catwalk. If you love the look of a nail salon manicure with all the extras, like nail design, BUT you don't like forking over $45+ every week, this new Revlon Runway Collection is for you. This newest collection features unique nail art designs. My favorite is the Mystic (far right above) that includes a little rhinestone that can be included on your pinky or ring finger nail.

Available at Walmart, CVS, Rite Aid, Bed, Bath & Beyond, as well as other mass retailers, each kit includes 24 nails in 12 different sizes along with a 3 gram bottle of glue and one buffer. It retails for $7.99. Check out the cost comparison below and you'll see the savings!

I admit I have not personally tested the nails yet. I am doing too much outside work right now and digging in the garden (I hate wearing gardening gloves...bad habit, I know). I am a bit nervous about removing the nails. To do so, they need to be soaked in acetone polish remover until they dissolve. Do any of you have experience with this? Fill me in if you do. I plan to test them out when I go to BlogHer '09 in two weeks. I'm looking forward to awesome looking nails!
