In my typical makeup routine, I use a foundation, bronzer, highlight, blush, eyeshadow, mascara, and lipstick. I own a lot of makeup but there are a few items that I use almost every single day, like the e.l.f. All Over Color Sticks. These little sticks are just $1.00 and are my go-to blush and highlight. So when I was invited to the #eyeslipsface $20 makeup challenge with elf Cosmetics, I was thrilled! I am excited to show that you can easily update your makeup with e.l.f. for just $20. See all the photos from my online shop in my Google + story.
I shopped online for elf cosmetics at eyeslipsface.com and you can see the volume of product available is just out-of-this-world. Everything you need from eyes, to lips, to face, to tools and more is at your fingertips. I signed up for the newsletter to receive coupon codes so that I could stretch my dollar even further.
I went right to work to update my full face makeup routine for just $20. At eyeslipsface.com, I found the e.l.f. Studio Tinted Moisturizer SPF 20 for just $3. This is the most inexpensive tinted moisturizer I have ever seen! Since some type of foundation or tinted moisturizer is always my first step, this was a must for my $20 makeup challenge.
I found eyeshadow for just $1 and pressed mineral eyeshadow for just $3, one of the new jumbo eyeshadow sticks for $3, even a mineral eyeshadow primer! All of these went right into my cart. Yes, I found $1 lipstick and $1 mascara, too. More staples needed for my typical makeup routine.
A baked bronzer for just $3? Yes! Ever since I discovered the wonders of bronzer a few years ago, I won’t go without this product. It provides the just the right amount of tint to my foundation and is also great for contouring. With my coupon code I was able to get 10 FREE $1 items so I picked up 5 of the All Over Color Sticks and a few extra concealer brushes, two of my favorite e.l.f products!
I ended up with 19 items totaling just $20.00 plus shipping ($30.00 minus my 10 FREE items). I enjoyed fast shipping and put my new elf everyday cosmetics to work right away!

I was already impressed with several e.l.f. products before, but after this $20 makeup challenge I’m even more impressed. I loved how the tinted moisturizer performed and I’d like to get a few more shades. I will also be stocking up on more of the $1 lipsticks and eyeshadows!
Be sure to follow e.l.f on Twitter and Facebook.
