You are not crazy - I tried some Elf stuff that was 99 cents that I got in 2012 at a Kroger- IT WAS TERRIBLE And gave me an eye infection… Ever since then I think of anything from Elf is absolutely horrible. But that was 10 years ago and now it almost seems like a lot of people are recommending it which is shocking to me… The quality must be better hence the seven dollar price tag now…I’m not rich but I honestly invest in better makeup now (Mac, Dior, Lancôme) and it is worth it.
@@JF-NYC-NJ-Girl 💯 agree! I'm not a wealthy person either but definitely prefer investing in Estée Lauder, Lancôme etc because, in all honesty, it really works better for me with "mature" skin.
I think the elf halo glow is really overrated tbh, I end up having to mix it with other foundations to get a nicer texture. It's very drying and can look streaky on the skin. Maybe I got a bad batch, because I bought 2 on sale in 2 different tones, and both are streaky and dry. I usually mix it with a bb cream but I don't think it's a proper dupe for Charlotte Tilbury. You are better off mixing a liquid highlighter with a foundation you really love. Imho!
Hi! Do you think they last on the skin? The pigmentation is good? The colors look so good! We don't have elf in my country so I depend on people’s opinion 😅 thank you so much in advance ❤
@@sabrina4909 I know this is late but I think they last long for me and they are very pigmented in my opinion, I love them. I have the one in the shade bermuda
@@beckyl4627 Not late at all. Thank you so much for your help and opinion. I don't have them yet but that shade is exactly the one I would pick, so beautiful! Again, thank you so much! I really appreciate your time 🙏❤
the elf camo concealer is my holy grail, i’ll never use any other concealer unless they stop making it. i used to use the tarte shape tape but it was so expensive and i thought i’d try something cheaper and i can confidently say the elf camo concealer is better in every way.
I have the putty blush and the glow filter thing and they are AMAZING. I would also recommend the setting powder for the foundation bc thats rlly good too!
I’m sure the blush formula is similar, but the elf putty bronzer is one of my go tos!!! It blends sooo seamlessly (& doesn’t pull too orange on my fairer complexion which is a bonus too) so I’d have high hopes for the blush lolol def wanna try the L’Oréal powder since everyone raves abt it💓
L’Oréal has some great skin products love their Lumi foundation is perfect on my skin, the blushes I got the only two left mauve and coral beautiful shades during a Target sale and they apply so smooth and perfect. Also have a few Undone cream blushes very nice as well and gorgeous shades! Maybe I’ll skip Elf. Sometimes their products haven’t amazed me do love the brushes most.
Elf Putty Blush is one of my favorite blushes. I never tried anything from Flower Beauty but the Liquid Highlighter is so pretty which I might try. Elf Halo Glow Liquid Filter I tried and picked it up from Target and I love using as a primer and dewy foundation. L'Oreal Foundation Powder I can never find my shade in. Milani Sponges are so cool but I never tried them.
I just got the L’Oréal Infallible Powder and I was very surprised that it’s as full coverage as the elf Camp but doesn’t look cakey if you use a packed brush. Really nice A+
Just a little tip, the halo glow is like pure liquid highlighter so I don’t recommend it unless you plan on mixing it with another foundation. It just makes you look so shiny to the point where if the light hits you, you look like a grease ball.
@@maritzavargas5747 I didnt mean it was oily I just meant when the lights hits it gives almost a “wet” or “greasy” look because it shimmers so much but I’m glad it works for you. 🤍
i use the putty blush in the shade “turk and caicos” and i can vouch so hard for this product it blends so so well and doesn’t feel heavy on the face at all
I’m old enough to remember people hated Elf (“it’s cheap crap make up”) and Flower (when it first came out) and before they got all “influence-y and “pricey”
Have you tried their web site n get on their email list when it comes back they email u. And keep checking target online I finally found it n I’m loving it good luck 👍🏻
The elf putty blush is amazing. I sometimes use it on bare face and a little goes a long way. I’ve had it for months and there’s still a ton of product ❤️😌
Jesus loves u he is coming back God will welcome u God is real he created all he cares he will never leave u ur never to far to turn back God bless u have a good day we have to be ready no one knows when Jesus will return or when well die 🤍
i just wish the elf halo glow had a tad bit lighter shades. the only ones i saw at my local walmart had rlly dark and tan shades :/ i'm kinda pale kinda tan so the lightest is too dark for me
The loreal powder made me look cakey. I’ve heard such mixed things and I just got the sad end of the reviews. It also made my dry skin feel so much more dry and it’s the worst feeling
ALSO THE FDA COULD CARE LESS ABOUT BODY OR BEAUTY PRODUCTS READ THE INGREDIENTS TAKE A SMALL MAGNIFYING GLASS WHEN U GO SHOPPING WRITE DOWN INGREDIENTS N WHEN HOME GOOGLE THEM MOST OF ALL THAT STUFF YOU WOULD NEVER USE AGAIN OR PUT ON YOUR FACE🎉❤
Love your nails especially the one in last clip with the black sponges the French tips. You do the lines great mine would look squiggly AF and not in a good way
Kokie beauty blenders are the softest/best I have ever used and I have the beauty blender. I will have to try the Milani ones since I do have so much Milani makeup but I have not seen those in any store I have been to that has that brand.
Off topic but you have ALL my respects. Living in Australia must be terrifying due to all those HUMONGOUS insects y’all got over thereeee lmaoooo omg 😭😭😭😭
I hate the elf halo glow I have very oily skin and it jst makes me look even more oily and I even understand why put it on before if I’m gonna put a full coverage matte foundation over it
Soooooo I use only drugstore makeup cause I'm broke also idk how to do makeup well (some products ifk how to make them look good on me so I don't use them) I just do what works for me but here's my recommendations (elf is my best friend) Get a good moisturiser!!! I use Elf Poreless Primer rn but I used to use the BarryM "Cool" Primer My Foundation is L'Oréal True Match I use the Elf Concealer for coverage but it doesn't come in my exact skintone either a shade too dark or a shade too light so I use the slightly darker one as coverage and use the L'Oréal True Match Concealer in a colour that works for me. Elf setting powder but I have used the Studio London one before and that's OK Elf transparent brow gel Maybelline Sky High Mascara is really good (if you want a waterproof one then try Revolution 5D I think it's called that, it's blue packaging) I use the Revolution Rose Lip Oil, it's my cheap alternative to the Dior lip oils. Remember I'm broke and I'm always learning new stuff about makeup and better methods. I'll come back here in a few years and cringe because of my old makeup routine. Always take care of your skin first and foremost (makeup looks ways better on Well cared for skin so find a good skincare routine before makeup, personally I just needed a moisturiser and SPF but everyone is different)
i’ve been to countless ultas and targets loooking for that elf foundation and it IS NO WHERE TO BE FOUND.. and i’ll be dammed if i have to buy anything online
Remember when Elf used to cost 1-2 dollars? Or is that just me being old?!?
i remember, especially the crusty elf products that one could find at ross. it was significantly cheaper but significantly worse quality, too.

Girlie everything expensive not even the 99 cents only store, a dollar no more
Yes! I used to get it at F21
I really want to try the Elf Halo Glow so bad, but I have oily skin and I've heard great things about it
I do too but tbh I think the "Loreal True Nude" with the dropper is wayyyy better tbh

@@DatGurlCookz_LuvsMakeupToo thanks for the suggestion!
I can’t find it anywhere ! It’s sold out ! Ugh
@@JasmineThanai they were just restocked!
When I went to CVS to get the elf halo glow It said it was $19.46. It was pretty expensive but when I went online it was cheaper.
I love the elf liquid glow! The best
Yes so good!
⁰⁰il9i
I finally found it n yes I love it I’m a full cover girl but just a little n omg love it n I’m 62 👍🏻
Does it have shimmer or glitter in it.
Elf is bad for you
The elf putty blushes really are amazing.

The elf putty blushes are actually so cute and quite bendable! I love the Caribbean color!
i love the elf blush!!!!!
the elf camo concealer is my holy grail, i’ll never use any other concealer unless they stop making it. i used to use the tarte shape tape but it was so expensive and i thought i’d try something cheaper and i can confidently say the elf camo concealer is better in every way.
I just bought it today and can’t wait to try it!! ❤ btw I know I’m replying a year later lol
The elf putty primer is my favourite
Need to try Elf blushes but do love the Undone and L’Oréal ones.
I have the putty blush and the glow filter thing and they are AMAZING. I would also recommend the setting powder for the foundation bc thats rlly good too!
the halo glow is amazing!!!!!!!
I want to try the elf putty plush, and the halo glow. I love the L'oreal powder foundation 😊👍
I’m sure the blush formula is similar, but the elf putty bronzer is one of my go tos!!! It blends sooo seamlessly (& doesn’t pull too orange on my fairer complexion which is a bonus too) so I’d have high hopes for the blush lolol def wanna try the L’Oréal powder since everyone raves abt it💓
i have the putty blush and i never know what ppl are talking about when they hype it up. it blends fine, but its a nightmare to actually put on
L’Oréal has some great skin products love their Lumi foundation is perfect on my skin, the blushes I got the only two left mauve and coral beautiful shades during a Target sale and they apply so smooth and perfect. Also have a few Undone cream blushes very nice as well and gorgeous shades! Maybe I’ll skip Elf. Sometimes their products haven’t amazed me do love the brushes most.
bro that l’oréal pressed powder made me look SO cakey and dry and shows so much of my texture it looked like i aged 10 years and i’m only 18
Same here!! It was incredibly cakey on me as well, it did not mix well with my other makeup and lifted off my skin super quickly😭
i didn’t like the elf putty blush but that’s only because it had a lot of glitter in it. i don’t like a lot of glitter but if u do its great!
they have a non luminous line aswell
Elf concealers are the best.
I have the elf halo glow and I can say it is my favorite makeup product I have ever used
I can’t with the “lets gaaaaooooo” lol
Had to replay the vid so I cld hear the products again & it fkn killed me when I heard that lololol couldn’t let it replay a 3rd time after that💀💀💀
For real
This killed me
I hate it omg. Wish she didn’t say it like that😂
Kelly Strack, I liked this video because it's awesome!
The Charlotte Tillbury glowing tint breaks me out, but elf doesn't. I love that product
I HATED THE ELF HALO GLOW LIQUID FITLER SO MUCHHH
SAME. I still have it and it's horrible. Every single time I put it on my forehead it looks HORRIBLE. I look so shiny:(

The elf halo glow liquid filter just came back in stock on elf’s website! I finally got to snag it in my shade!
what order in my makeup routine should i be applying it?
@@Ava-ep4ju I apply it like a primer. So before foundation but after my skincare. You could also mix it in in with your foundation if you wanted. 😊
Milani is a great brand too
Kelly Strack, great video keep up the amazing content
I absolutely love the elf halo glow i have it its my fav
I love your videos so much 💖💖💖
thanks for the video, I do my makeup every morning with you
The L’Oréal infallible powder foundation makes me look super Cakey
I use the elf powder or studio London usually tbh
Thanks Kelly
Just a little tip, the halo glow is like pure liquid highlighter so I don’t recommend it unless you plan on mixing it with another foundation. It just makes you look so shiny to the point where if the light hits you, you look like a grease ball.
Maybe for you. I use that as foundation by itself and I got normal skin and it’s fine.

Flower beauty is so underrated

I’m jealous of how stocked your Walmart is🥲

@@Latinagirlpr49 - yessss I finally found on target’s website, it hit to me a few days before Christmas!! Love it!! I need back ups!! Lol
THE LOREAL MATTE THING IS A GAME. HANGER
i remember when i got elf makeup for christmas when i was like 4… it was musty crusty disgusting for wayyy cheaper. glad to see there growing
the walgreens near me has No.7 makeup and its the only one in my state that has that (its my favorite brand)
I love how the nails was like pink to red to French tips
I got the hollow glow liquid filter
Would you recommend elf liquid foundation for aging skin?
do high end makeup under 40!!!

Cvs!
My walmart still has it !!!
@@glambaby21 mine still has it too.
My local cvs is like the only place I can find them in store now

Thank you
The collection dupe or flawless fitler is rlly gd I mean rlly good 😊
ALSO THE
FDA COULD CARE LESS ABOUT BODY OR BEAUTY PRODUCTS
READ THE INGREDIENTS
TAKE A SMALL MAGNIFYING GLASS WHEN U GO SHOPPING WRITE DOWN INGREDIENTS N WHEN HOME
GOOGLE THEM
MOST OF ALL THAT STUFF
YOU WOULD NEVER USE AGAIN OR PUT ON YOUR
FACE🎉❤
Maybe it's just me but the elf halo glow is too yellow on me... Any tips out there, I'd love to be able to try it❤
Are the Milani sponges really so soft? Are they as good as a beauty blender?
Gorgeous bag Babe ❤. Have a good weekend!
I have the elf halo glow and i don’t really like it
I agree
Love your nails especially the one in last clip with the black sponges the French tips. You do the lines great mine would look squiggly AF and not in a good way
Ooh wow, I'm obsessed 😍
One thing I will say about elf is the do run a bit yellow so if you don't have a yellow undertone be careful
I wish I could get elf in my country 😅. I don't see them in South Africa
Kokie beauty blenders are the softest/best I have ever used and I have the beauty blender. I will have to try the Milani ones since I do have so much Milani makeup but I have not seen those in any store I have been to that has that brand.
No don’t😭 the Milani sponge did me so dirty. Super patchy & soaks up all my product :/
@@wowrosa ty I won’t! For sure. I need to find more kokie cosmetics sponges. Lol
@@heatherc6512 I’m going to try that one because my sponge is getting old
We still don't have Elf halo in Australia yet 😱😱😱
Off topic but you have ALL my respects. Living in Australia must be terrifying due to all those HUMONGOUS insects y’all got over thereeee lmaoooo omg 😭😭😭😭
I love the Flower beauty products but can't seem to get them anymore in the UK.
Love all but the elf putty creams. Milani makes much better ones. Many brands do actually. Love the rest of her recommendations though.
Remember when drugstore makeup used to be cheap?
I hate the elf halo glow I have very oily skin and it jst makes me look even more oily and I even understand why put it on before if I’m gonna put a full coverage matte foundation over it
the elf halo glow made me break out really bad..
Is closed captioning available here?
You don’t need makeup to look beautiful god made you beautiful
Why can’t I find this elf halo glow anywhere in stores.
Same
try it on
I can’t find that elf foundation anywhere. :( guess I’ll have to order it online
Turn on notifications on the target app! They restock 2-3x per week
@@sarahy4813 thank you so much!! 😊
I'm so all about getting a bargain for sure
Yea finding that elf halo in canada is near impossible
I bought those Milani sponges & It does not absorb a lot of product❤
Halo glow is sold out almost everywhere especially in my shade oof
What color elf putty blush would you recommend for very fair skin?
I’d also like to know, hopefully she sees this!🤞🏼
I hated the putty blush so much, I had an orangey brown colour and it was so patchy, lasted like 2 hours max in my skin, and smelled like crayons!
The elf halo glowing is $17
Soooooo I use only drugstore makeup cause I'm broke also idk how to do makeup well (some products ifk how to make them look good on me so I don't use them) I just do what works for me but here's my recommendations (elf is my best friend)
Get a good moisturiser!!!
I use Elf Poreless Primer rn but I used to use the BarryM "Cool" Primer
My Foundation is L'Oréal True Match
I use the Elf Concealer for coverage but it doesn't come in my exact skintone either a shade too dark or a shade too light so I use the slightly darker one as coverage and use the L'Oréal True Match Concealer in a colour that works for me.
Elf setting powder but I have used the Studio London one before and that's OK
Elf transparent brow gel
Maybelline Sky High Mascara is really good (if you want a waterproof one then try Revolution 5D I think it's called that, it's blue packaging)
I use the Revolution Rose Lip Oil, it's my cheap alternative to the Dior lip oils.
Remember I'm broke and I'm always learning new stuff about makeup and better methods. I'll come back here in a few years and cringe because of my old makeup routine. Always take care of your skin first and foremost (makeup looks ways better on Well cared for skin so find a good skincare routine before makeup, personally I just needed a moisturiser and SPF but everyone is different)
I can’t try the elf liquid filter cause it’s sold out everywhere where I’m at
I'm pretty sure the L'Oreal powder is more than $15. Most L'Oreal complexion products are, unless you can find them on clearance.
Cutie ❤
The elf halo glow made me break out
The elf halo glow is £15 so abt $16-17
I rlly wanted the elf halo glow but my skin is so light that they didn’t have my shade :(
Elf halo glow is constantly sold out where i live 😭
i’ve been to countless ultas and targets loooking for that elf foundation and it IS NO WHERE TO BE FOUND.. and i’ll be dammed if i have to buy anything online
I couldn’t stand this girl before I don’t know why, but no, I just love watching her ❤
Where is Flower Beauty sold now? They disappeared from our Walmart stores.
Can you do skincare I subed pls
