HOW MUCH IS YOUR FACE WORTH?

So last week we asked you guys "How Much is your face worth?" and some of the figures we've received were astonishing! 

Now we're all up for quality make up and we do from time to time treat ourselves with a bit of luxury. However we think its important to find budget alternatives for those essential products that we use every day! After all, those are the products that will wear down the fastest - and splashing out on expensive products regularly is not exactly pocket friendly!

So when we heard how much your everyday faces were costing you lovely lot, we had to step in!

We took your list of everyday products, had a mini consult with the beauty advice team and have come up with high quality e.l.f. alternatives that you could swap your expensive make up for! Potentially saving you some money! Yay!

We've picked three very lucky ladies to win their elf alternatives and here are the lucky three!

So up first we have Hazel, her face costs her a whopping £157.82! Her make up consists of gorgeous taupe and brown eyeshadows for that beautiful nude and natural eye look! Just these eye shadows alone at £12 each was costing her £36! We've suggested Studio single Shadows in Pebble, Saddle and Coffee Bean as great natural eye alternatives! At £3.75 each thats a bargain!

In total our e.l.f. alternatives came to a lovely sum of £40 compared to Hazels £157.82, which I hope you'll all agree is much more manageable figure! :D

Up next is Tea, now her collection was already a very nice £38.35 however, the super elves here managed to knock this humble sum down even further to £23.50!

Last but not least we worked out that Colleen, who was recommended to us by super elf fan Alessandra Peters would save a total of £89.25 if she switches to our elf alternatives!

We'd like to thank everyone for entering our Competition! We have had a fabulous time looking through everyone's Make up collections! We will throughout the next week be showcasing some of our fave entries so if you've submitted how much your face is worth then keep an eye out on the blog for your elf alternative suggestions! It'll be worth noting how much £'s you can save for that beautiful dress, new shoes, or getaway just by switching a lipstick or two!!

Friday Favourites: Under Eye Concealer & Highlighter

This weeks Friday Favourites goes to the Studio Under Eye Concealer & Highlighter!

This product contains vitamins A & E, chamomile, caffeine and green tea to moisturize, soothe, and tighten the skin around the delicate eye area. Blends in easily and evenly to provide a smooth and natural finish.

Use the “conceal” side under the eye area to disguise under eye bags and help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, dark circles and puffiness while helping the skin around the eyes look firmer and rejuvenated. The “highlight” cream gives eyes an instant brightening boost with light-reflecting pigments that work like an instant eye lift (can also be used as an eyeshadow base). Dot the formula and blend in under, around and ontop of the eye as needed for a youthful glow.
