Product Review: Elf's Lock & Seal & Moisture Stick

  Heeeeeeeyyyy! Long time no speak! My brushes & I have been a lil busy with prom & wedding season. I've also painted for a few shoots that I'll post a link to later. For now, in light of ELF turning 9 & the huge 50% off sale they had today, I'm gonna briefly talk about a few new products that I love.

  The first, is ELF's Lock & Seal. It can be used simply to set eyeshadow or, as a mixing medium for pigments & loose eyeshadows. Using it as the latter turns powders somewhat creamy, helps pigments spread easier with minimal fall out (when pigments falls anywhere but the on the eyelid in which its intended lol), gives that foil appearance & sets them in place. At $3 in Target, it's a pretty good alternative to using Mehron or MAC's Fix+ as a medium. 

  The second is ELF's Moisture Stick. I looooove this! It's a clear stick that hydrates the skin with natural ingredients like grape, avocado & shea. It can be worn alone as a moisturizer or underneath your makeup as a primer for a dewy look. It's very light, doesn't clog pores & is great for all skin types. It's also $3, & since it's in stick form, its mess- proof. Simply roll it on & proceed with your face routine. Or, wear or with no product at all. 

  Last but not least is Elf's small Stippling brush. Besides my crease brushes for eyeshadow, this is probably one if my favorite brushes. It can be used for multiple purposes. I use it for applying/buffing cream & wax base foundations onto the skin. It's small enough to reach areas in which foundation tends to settle & crease if not blended thoroughly, such as around the nose & under the eye. Best $3 I've ever spent!

  Check these out!!
