And the winner is....

Hi Everyone!

After the amazing entries we had for the Friday Favourites Bamboo Brush mineral inspired competition I am delighted to announce....

 

 

Am-ela as our worthy winner. We love to hear how e.l.f makes you feel better and even though you guys make us blush (excuse the makeup pun!) we definitely think she deserved some gorgeous bamboo brushes to go with her mineral collection

Am-ela said 

"I love e.l.f Mineral Makeup because...It looks great and feels great! Minerals give my skin a youthful "glow", looks natural, not a heavy "made up" look. I honestly feel this makeup is so pure I could sleep in it:) Minerals offer very good and buildable coverage that doesn't feel like I'm wearing any makeup at all and yet it covers all my imperfections perfectly. (Bye, bye acne and rosacea...)
Mineral Make up is a blessing to womankind,and E.l.f. prices are blessing to our wallets!"

Congratulations Am-ela  - we're sure you'll love your brushes and they'll be accompanying on your travels this year! Please can you email amy@eyeslipsface.co.uk with your details and we'll get your egg on its way to you :0)

Thank you to everyone who commented - you guys are the best!! :0)

 

Love,

Let your skin breathe this spring with e.l.f mineral range

Fresh faced Models with flawless, dewy skin reigned the SS12 Catwalks so what better time to ditch the heavy foundations for some lightweight Minerals which not only look good but feels amazing on the skin!

Some amazing looks Makeup Artist Pat McGrath's spring/summer 2012 beauty look for Dolce & Gabbana in Vogue.

e.l.f Minerals are made with 100% natural ingredients, so are great for all skin types - even sensitive skin, there's just one key - a clean brush!

To apply mineral foundation, you must use the swirl, tap and buff technique which actually lets the product sit in the skin as opposed to 'on the skin' like liquid foundations.

Check out this video where the wonderful Kamen demonstrates how to create a flawless face with minerals :0)

This weeks top mineral picks are....

The gorgeous Personal Blend foundation SPF 15.

This foundation is a MUST for Spring/Summer 2012! The four colour powder foundation allows you to create unique shades to suit your complexion. If you're planning to jet off somewhere sunny this summer the personal blend formula will allow you to adapt your foundation to your sun kissed skin, and with the SPF 15 adding that little bit of extra protection*.

Strikingly fabulous Mineral Eyeshadow

Mineral eye shadows are so so versatile and can be layered to create intense colour or simply swept on for instant subtle glamour. Available in 27 beautiful shades there's bound to be one which takes your fancy. Treat yourself and embrace natural tones, or rock some vivid bolds this spring summer!

Fabulously Flush Mineral Blush

 

Create glowing naturally flushed cheeks with the gorgeous selection of natural blushed powders. Available in 7 shades you can create a cute shimmery glow or a deep plum flush, great for darker skintones.

Beautiful Bamboo Brushes

No makeup bag is complete without some serious brushes. e.l.f Mineral Range bamboo brushes are perfect for use with any range, not just mineral! The Gorgeous taklon bristles are perfect to use wet or dry for amazing results. The full range of brushes are durable and look pretty swish too! The 4 piece set is just asking to be taken on a long haul flight to sunnier climbs ;0)

So, let us know, are you a mineral makeup lover? The office e.l.fettes are showing off their mineral looks this spring!

Love,

Product Feature of the Week

E.l.f Studio Mascara Primer

Hello Ladies! We are super excited about some of the new products that are coming in this week and we can’t wait to show you what’s in store next!

Every week we will be doing a “Product of the week” Feature to show off all the new items with pictures and demos- and this week everyone in the office is just raving about this amazing new Mascara Primer from our Studio Range! 

 New* Studio Mascara Primer

Trust us when we say this – this stuff works wonders on your lashes! Say goodbye to short, stubby lashes and HELLO to a long and volumised false lash look!

Mascara Primer- What’s new?

We are so psyched about this clever product, unlike some usual primers, the Elf Mascara Primer applies and dries transparent, therefore it doesn’t leave a trace of white residue on the lashes, this gives them a much more natural look­- Genius!

Elf Mascara Primer promises to lengthen and volumise lashes so that they appear thicker, stronger and more defined. What’s more is that it doubles up as a conditioner with it’s Pro-Vitamin B5, Hydrolyzed Wheat and Soy Protein enriched formula! Not only does it look good on your lashes, it’s also good for them too, all the more reason to become addicted to this product!

For this week’s blog we will be using our gorgeous Naomi who already has lashes to die for to demonstrate the new Mascara Primer. Check out her fantastic look below...Yes they do look THAT good in real life!

  

How you can achieve the luscious lashes look!

Products used: 

 Studio Mineral Infused Mascara

 Elf Mechanical Eyelash Curler

 New* Studio Mascara Primer

Step 1:Curl your Lashes

First curl your lashes to open up your eyes for a wide-eyed look. Make sure you start with clean lashes to avoid accidentally pulling out the lashes.

Hold the curler as close to the lash line as possible and gently clamp down for a few seconds. Be careful not to tug or pull on the lashes.

Step 2: Prime your lashes

Prepare your lashes with Studio Mascara Primer for the ultimate false lash look!  Just apply a coat of the primer like you would your mascara and allow it to dry before the next step! Just watch in awe as you see your lashes go from short and sweet to long and luscious in an instant! 

Step 3: Apply your Mascara

Once the primer has dried you can apply your favorite mascara on top.  We used Elf Mineral infused Mascara Voila! False lash look in a tube! 

And the final look...

Excited? Don't worry you won't have to wait long to get your hands on this one. We expect to launch the Mascara Primer some time today!

We hope you liked today's Product of the week! Plenty more exciting product demos to come soon! Watch this space Lady Elves!

Love
