ELLE Cosmetics Review & Giveaway

Introducing ELLE Cosmetics, a line of chic, runway-inspired cosmetics for eyes, lips, face and nails. Launched exclusively at Kohl’s stores nationwide in April 2012, the collection boasts a variety of makeup and nail essentials in a diverse range of beautiful colors and textures. The collection encourages experimentation with the season’s hottest beauty trends and can be translated from day to night.  The collection features lip gloss, lip color, bronzer, blush, nail lacquer, eyeshadow, eye liner, lip liner, mascara (volumizing, lengthening, or thickening), and professional brushes.  Just a pop of pink on the apple of the cheeks or a stroke of peach along the temples with one of the eight silky-sheer shades  of blush is all you need for a fresh, natural-looking flush.  And the innovative formula for the lengthening mascara contains a blend of silica and waxes that binds to lashes, creating the appearance of lash extensions. The long, narrow, hollow-fiber brush allows for a precise coating of each lash, creating a long, separated fan of lashes.

ELLE Cosmetics Review & Giveaway

I will be the first to admit that I am not a high maintenance girl.  Not that I don’t want to look nice.  It’s just that I am kind of a minimalist when it comes to make up, and don’t want to spend tons of money on it, either.  But I want something that makes me feel and look my best, while still looking like me.  ELLE Cosmetics are really high quality and not too expensive.  I love my blush!  I feel like it adds just the right amount of color to my cheeks!  They look pink and rosy and fresh!  It adds a glow, if you will.  And it goes on nicely and only needs one application per cheek.  The Lengthening Mascara definitely does what it promises to do – it lengthens and separates the lashes!  I have very full lashes, but they’re pretty straight.  Although this definitely lengthened them, I didn’t feel like it held my eyelash curl very well.  But if you’ve already got that going for you, and are looking for longer lashes, then this definitely does the trick!  I would definitely continue to use ELLE Cosmetics!

ELLE Cosmetics are available exclusively at Kohl’s and are priced from $10-16.
