      Cassandra! You beautiful butterfly….you are amazing and brilliant and I love the things you share to bring light to not only good skincare but also some awareness on the treatment of animals and more. But my dear…our earth….you need to educate yourself on the recycling of plastic. Many times you have talked about the benefits of this or that product packaging being recyclable….and it’s plastic.
      My dear…back in the 80s big oil dumped millions of dollars into promoting the recycling of plastic. And since has dumped millions and millions more. But here’s the thing…while yes, plastics are technically recyclable….it is not time or cost effective to recycle it. So….less than 10% of the works plastic actually gets recycled.
      Why? Big oil knows that if consumers think plastic is recyclable that we will be more apt to buy products in plastic. We will use it and then dump those water bottles and other plastic containers into our big blue recycling containers that the big recycling truck picks up. But then what? Well most of the plastic still goes to the dump. And big oil….guess what is needed to make new plastic? Oil. It’s so much more cost and time effective to make new plastic that companies buy new plastic and big oil has made BILLIONS off the millions they poured into convincing us to feel good about buying recyclable plastic when they knew it isn’t really going to get recycled. That’s why big oil invested in selling the whole concept. That’s why we believe it and….it works. But plastic is still not being recycled and it’s still winding up in landfills making up the majority of the trash there.

    ELF doesn’t get enough credit. Everyone always buys the overpriced skin care products from Barbara Stern or Chanel when they’re complete rubbish you’re just paying for the name. Yet ELF is right there being affordable, the products do what they say and they’ve always been cruelty free, like what more do people want? Buy from them, support them instead of those brands models shove in your face from the Vogue YT channel.

    The thing that annoyed me about the ELF skincare line was that the packaging is very clearly designed to make you think you're getting more product than you are. The box is too big and has a little platform inside to fill the box and the tub is also much bigger than it needs to be with loads of dead space which makes the packaging unnecessarily bulky

    Everything I have tried from the e.l.f. Holy Hydration line has been a total win for me. I'm 45 and have very sensitive, dry skin with rosacea so I've shied away from a lot of new products because too many have just caused flares or irritation and it's not worth the headache. But I tried the cleanser and was shocked at how good it was! Particularly for a foaming cleanser - didn't leave my skin feeling dry or stripped AT ALL. The cleansing balm is fantastic - even on waterproof mascara - and the skin cream (with and without SPF) are both part of my daily routine. It's just amazing to me how good this line is given how affordable it is!
    I also love how many of the products come in travel sizes too! I love being able to have my usual skin care routine when I travel in airport friendly sizes without having to go through the rigamarole of filling my own travel containers (which can be less sanitary and just plain messy!) I definitely stan. :)
    That being said, I'm definitely going to have to check out some of these other products! Thanks for always being both entertaining and transparent. If you recommend it, I know I can trust that it will be good.

If I were you I’d go with the ELF just because a lot of body creams can be very heavy on the face and cause those little white bumps. I got two bottles at Walgreens the other day because they were buy one get one 1/2 off. They’re $8.

    With the exception of the actives I'm using from The Ordinary, most of my other products are from elf. And yes, I use the eye cream under sunscreen and makeup to make sure I'm hydrated during the day. I did NOT know they had a sunscreen...I usually use a mineral tinted one, but I'm going to have to try this one! You are going to love the cleansing balm and they also have a Happy Hydration line that thas hemp seed oil in it...thicker and great for a sleeping mask...and no fragrance. They have a gel moisturizer with squalene that was great during the summer heat because it felt weightless on my skin. The only thing I didn't care for was their clarifying cleanser because I think it had lavender oil in it and irritated my skin. These were the first products I started using back in May when I began my skincare journey and I love them and their makeup!

    I have been tested for skin allergies and I’m highly allergic to glycerin. So anything with moisture, hydration, you know it has glycerin and won’t be for me. I’m subjected to ointments and gels, it’s been very difficult to find proper skin care. Recently went to a dermatologist and told her the story, she recommended for me to use cerave… which glycerin is the second ingredient. Is that what every derm suggests to use… that’s a hell no for me so back to Cassandra.
    Honestly I learn more from you in the last year and I’m so grateful I found you. You also recommended pyunkang yul skin care, which I really like and thank you for all the hard work that goes into this. Researching products takes forever.

That's 8-16 dollars a month when I see lower strength drug store retinoids for 20 dollars a month. Remember to take into consideration how long the product lasts.
