Budget Beauty: E.L.F. Favorites

E.L.F. Favorites Under $10 by eaperry featuring a face brush

Here are 5 budget beauty favorites for you! These are all from E.L.F. and they're all under $10! Actually, if you counted all five of these products up, it would only cost you about $20, which is such a great deal.

E.L.F. is one of the most affordable budget beauty brands and over the years, I've tried and tested out their products and now have about five that are go-tos!

1. Mineral Infused Face Primer ($6) - This is a great alternative to the Hourglass Mineral Primer. It's not too oily and it's a great layer before foundation and concealer. 
2. Studio High Definition Powder ($6) - This is a great powder for setting your under-eye makeup. It makes your skin look flawless and soft, and sets your concealer perfectly under your eyes. This has been a favorite for awhile now. 
3. Contouring Blush and Bronzing Powder in St. Lucia ($3) - I've raved about this on my blog many-a-time, but it deserves more. This is such a bargain - you get both a blush and bronzer that will last you forever. I absolutely adore E.L.F. blushes and this palette is a great 'take with you anywhere' palette, plus it has a huge mirror!
4. Studio Kabuki Brush ($6) - I love the selection and prices of E.L.F. makeup brushes. They're so affordable and are actually great quality. My favorite is their Kabuki brush. It's very soft and distributes powder evenly. 
5. Jumbo Eyeshadow Stick in Turkish Coffee ($2) - Please take a gander at their eyeshadow sticks. They're actually super pigmented and are a great alternative to the more pricy Maybelline Color Tattoos. This color is my favorite, especially for fall. They're also great to use as liner!

I hope you all enjoyed this budget beauty post!

Budget Beauty: A Few E.L.F. Blushes

I really love E.L.F. cosmetics - so affordable and you can find some really amazing products! One of my favorites are their blushes which are beautiful, pigmented, and really inexpensive!

I thought I'd show you a few of my favorite E.L.F. blushes today, because I've found myself reaching for them just as often as my Rockateur blush!

First up is a blush from one my favorite blush/bronzer duos which I talk about almost everyday it seems like. It's called St. Lucia and I love both shades. The blush is warm-toned with flecks of gold sparkle in it, so it's great for both a blush and an illuminating powder! This is a great dupe for both the Nars Laguna/Orgasm duo and the Benefit Rockateur boxed blush, especially because this duo is only $3. 

Next up is one of E.L.F's single blushes. This one is in the shade Tickled Pink, a very soft light pink which is really natural and gorgeous on the cheeks. I love the singular blushes from E.L.F. because there are so many choices in color and they're all $3. 

Lastly is another favorite, and that's E.L.F.'s baked blush in the shade Passion Pink. Once again, this is only $3 which is a fantastic price. It's also sooooo gorgeous. I love baked makeup products because they are really unique and always look shimmery and gorgeous on the skin. This one is especially nice, because it looks super natural and also gives some shimmer. I like to use this when I don't even want to mess with highlighter or bronzer. 

Do you have some favorite E.L.F. blushes? Or any other affordable blushes that you're obsessed with? Let me know below.
