Wow Gemma, thank you so much for the info about the Elf cc cream! In this day and age there is no excuse not to be transparent and accurate regarding ingredients!?
It's the same with food products. Full of health claims lacking REAL evidence. Often, product ingredients on the website and nutrition facts don't match the packet
I hate that companies even produce low quality products that nobody wants to use because they use them once and realize it’s a waste! It’s like please have a product that makes you feel proud!!! Don’t destroy our earth for low quality products just to make a $!!!!
Thank you so much for pointing out the obfuscation game Elf is playing with the ingredients listings on their new Camo "hydrating" CC Cream. I have rosacea on this 64-year old face, and I read those ingredients lists for many reasons. No way I'll consider this product - or any other complexion products from Elf. Though I do love their Hydrating Camo Concealer, in a couple of different shades. I use that on areas not affected by the rosacea. Thanks Gemma!
You should care if a deodorant is aluminium free because aluminium in deodorants settle in the lymph nodes causing breast cancer, I haven’t used high street deodorants with in aluminium for 5yrs and go out of my way to look for aluminium free deodorants, at the moment I’m using Neal’s Yard Rose & Geranium it smells gorgeous & I’m protected all day, it’s worth paying a lil more to keep your body healthy & free from toxins.🧡
I appreciate you making this type of video, but I especially love your delivery. You are a delight while you inform us; so amusing and relatable. I don’t think I’ve commented before, but I watch your content frequently and it’s time well spent. 💕
Looking forward to that concealer video! I have such dry under eyes. It's so tough finding something that is hydrating and doesn't slide around or accentuate fine lines.
thanks to you and some other youtubers I watch I don't have disappointing products that often any more. Thank you so much for this particular service ❤❤❤
The shade for the Prada foundation in on the top of the refill bottle. It has a black printed rectangle with a number on it. That is the shade. Pull it out of the package to be able to see it on the refill bottle. ✌🏻❤️
Dang! So how do you feel about elf, going forward, continuing to buy from? I would 1) be disgusted by their ‘customer service’ and 2) second guess all products’ ingredient decks? How does the comments section feel? I’m really disappointed as there are several elf products I have had on repeat…
Gemma has mentioned further up that she’s going to check all of their products. Isn’t it dreadful that they can do this ! I would think it breaks at least one law 😏x
I don't know if I've ever mentioned this to you, but one of my favorite mascaras (not colored) is the Ulta Flash It's just $11 hrre in the US & it is fabulous! It's a tubing mascara, adds volume & tons of length AND removes easily with warm water! I wish you'd try it & let me know what you think!
Hi Gemma! Been watching you for about 2yrs. I find myself watching your channel more than any other. Was wondering if you could do a Highend vs Drugstore? And if you had to pick just one, which one would you actually choose. Also, I live in the U.S. so if you could include an option that is available here, that would be great. Congratulations on reaching 200,000 viewers.🎉 Nice to see your hard work paying off. ❤
I think the Elf product ingredient list is a Trading Standards department issue. All ingredients should be properly listed and any variations clearly explained. Elf is demonstrating a very cavalier attitude towards its customers. Which then makes you wonder about the rest of their products and the reliability of the ingredients list supplied.
I am a big Erborian fan, have many of their products. I would like to say something that has nothing to do with this video but as you will be speaking to the Maysama lady, she has an employee called Lauren, that went above and beyond to get the serum to me, fighting with the useless Italian postal service. I just feel that the owner should be aware of how briliant this girl was.
I had the same experience with the lip gloss. I don’t lick my lips but I do press them together a lot out of habit so it got in my mouth and it ended up being an ordeal that took quite a while to dissipate. I thought Lip Venom was bad; it’s nothing compared to this.
Thank you for your honest video! I just love watching you and your mum ❤️ I’m so sorry you had such a bad reaction to the lip plumper. I will definitely not buy it. I have used City Lips forever and I love it because you don’t get that horrible tingling
The reaction you are describing to the Maybelline lifter plumps is a strong allergic response and could even be a mild anaphylactic reaction. Allergic reactions often get much worse with further exposure so please don’t be tempted to try them again. It sounds really quite serious. Have a look at the ingredients so that you can isolate them. Scary!
I am so glad (well, sorry) that someone else had the same experience with the Lash Extndr (spelling???) as I did. Flat eyelashes almost immediately, a second coat for me is quick and light, but it actually made my lashes crunchy., a bit spidery, some sticking together & didn’t hold a curl. SO disappointing, I want to love it as it was brown, and a nice shade at that. 😢. Still so hard to find. Oh, but the tubing/water removal was as expected and maybe a touch of lengthening.
Hello Gemma, I am old, both ways, old on your channel and out of your channel too, I love, love these videos, someone has the courage to call the beauty firms to stand on attention, I was going to buy more ELF but not this one until you give us the OK, thanks, stay well.
Lol thanks for the shout out for warning everyone about the Maybelline spicy lip glosses! I was nodding all the way through your review! The awful burn is very real!! 😂 Really looking forward to your concealer video! 🎉🎉
The shade of your Prada foundation should be on your refill, it is on mine. Great video Gemma and why do elf never put shades on their products it baffles me 🤪. X
I’ve got a couple of the Mua lip pencils like yours and I love them plus the Matt lipsticks and one gloss and I’m really pleased with them ,plus two of the mini eyeshadow palettes xx
I've tried a lot of products from elf. Their halo glow, cc cream, putty primer, gripping primer, concealers, lip products and they've either broken me out badly or made my eyes stream. No other brand does this to me so I stay well clear of all their products now!
Nice video. I could listen to your accent all day. 😊 I cannot find a signature scent. I have tried so many and no one ever asks me what I’m wearing. I have ordered small samples of two high-end perfumes that you recently suggested. I’m hoping one of them works for me. I wore Clinique aromatics elixir for years and always got compliments. Also philosophy grace fresh cream got me compliments, I did want to try something newer so we will see !
Thank you for views on the Santal deodorant! It's literally advertised everywhere. What's the smell actually like is it nice? Because they also do a shower gel and other products in the scent, so if the scent was lovely there are other products you can get in order to enjoy it.
As someone who is allergic to chillies and peppers the reaction you had to the Maybelline glosses is identical to the reactions I get if I eat anything with chillies or peppers in it! I used to have adrenaline inhalers but they had to be sent over from the US which was a pain. Nowadays I've got used to reading ingredients lists and I stay away from processed food though it's still a pain when I go out to eat in restaurants etc.. If anyone else has a reaction like that please note that this type of reaction can gradually get worse with repeated exposure so you can become more sensitive to those ingredients which could over time make you more sensitive to chillies etc in for example food as well. It is also possible to have fluctuating intolerances so you might get one level of reaction the first time and you think " Well it wasn't too bad, I'll give it another try" and then you might have an even bigger reaction the next time! Thank you Gemma for warning us! In my own case being warned about this saves me a trip to A&E! Xx
Thank you Liz. I don’t think it could be the chilies as I eat chilies all the time and have no reaction, but you make a valid point and it’s definitely worth looking at the ingredients list to see if I can narrow it down. Thank you again XX
You look just beautiful and you shared the lipstick you are wearing. Is it possible to tell what your other make up is for today? This was very helpful! Thank you so much!
Hi from Florida I'm new to your channel. Your video was very informative. I agree Elf is a bit hit or miss on its make-up but they do make great brushes.
Always glad to see these types of videos!❣️. I personally don’t support Elf or NYX cosmetics but have recently come across a good brow pencil and lip liner from L. A. Girl that are quite reasonably priced with good pigmentation. 👍🎉
I always look forward to your videos. Can see the research behind them. I really like you higher end/affordable videos. Will we see any of those for concealers
Hi Gemma! Maybe I’m wrong but I think the shade of the Prada foundation is on the refillable bottle ( so you have to remove the refillable bottle to see it…) Thank you for this video, very useful! 🌷
Oh, baby did I fall for the Elf lash extender. Loved the lash and roll, but this mascara was gummy going on, crispy, didn’t separate and harder to take off. A big fail for me too!
I always love your videos when they really are critical of some thing that we might be looking to spend our money on. As for fragrance, it’s such a personal thing, but there is no way that what one person thinks is a lovely smell translates to everybody else. There’s just no way to really decide some thing like this for everybody. I do have a really weird issue. Maybe I’m not the only one there was a Spanish jewelry company called Uno to 50 and in my New Jersey mall. They are store sprays out this fragrance that has me mesmerized. It’s so compelling that I dream about it. And yet they don’t make a perfume of it, they don’t make a house fragrance of it,. They did have a candle that I bought that has that same scent but they don’t carry it anymore. And I don’t know if this is everywhere else in the world but this is driving me crazy. it’s almost making me angry at the company for not allowing me to have the fragrance that so affects me. Anyone out there in the world have the situation but me.😬
I am so excited about the concealer video now. Always on hunt for the perfect one. I have different one from MF it's look like Fenty dupe only what is really annoying they have it only in 5 or 6 shades it's concealer with vitamin C and caffeine in it
I've had that happen to me several times regarding ingredients lists differing depending on where you look. It's happened with hair care products, skin care products, and makeup. I've learned the ingredients on the packaging are correct. If the ingredients on the websites are different, it's just human error, but they should remove it as soon as they know. I just ordered the Matrix hair oil in the green bottle from Ulta and when I read the back of the box, it's a totally different ingredients list than the list on the Ulta app. It's so annoying!
I appreciate your advice so much. I purchased my two favorite foundations because of your recommendations. The IT Nude Glow and a Max Factor that really surprised me. Thank you, I love your videos!!! (I agree on the elf cc creme. yuck) I have had a favorite lip liner for years that no one talks about that I think you would really like. The wet n wild coloricon lip liner pencil in the color 711 chestnut is GORGEOUS! Absolutely rivals high end and is so economical. I have one in every bathroom and in my purse.
Off topic, but I have questions about The Ordinary skin care products. I purchased Matrixyl 10% HA, Argireline Solution 10%, Niacinamide 10% Zinc 1% and Multi-Peptide HA Serum, aka "Buffet". How do I layer these products for best results. Which two should I use together for a week and then switch and use the other two the following week? Thank you. Love your videos
Funny how one product can be completely different for some people! I love the Lash Paradise - never smudges on me! It's my RoD product. I tried the Telescopic but I get smudges every time! Love how it looks initially but by the end of the day I'm a raccoon. Seems like such a waste to toss it but I might have to!
It’s shocking that ELF didn’t immediately sort out the ACTUAL ingredients when you brought it to their attention. Many people are sensitive to some ingredients - I have to be very careful as my skin is quite sensitive - and ELF could be culpable if they haven’t listed the correct ingredients and some people get a reaction. It’s put me off the whole brand to be honest. Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention. I will not be buying any of their products as I just feel they can’t be trusted now. Such a shame.
Gemma, good video as always. You save us money with this type of video. It is my understanding that the name of the ELF lip liners is on the cap. I don't have any yet so can't confirm.
Hey Gemma, really enjoyed your video but I didn’t understand whether or not you’ve actually used the two deodorants that you’ve discussed. Personally, I have the Aurelia and as good as it smells, it does not keep me smelling that great all day -a few hours sure but not a long day, and certainly not one where I exert myself, so I was just wondering if you’ve had any full day wears of either of these deodorants? 🤔🥰
Mascara applicator wands are a biggie for me. The Beauty Pie tubing mascara I would REALLY love, but the wand - just why? If it were a nice cone shape I’d be buying that all year long for every day wear, but it’s so strange I just can’t work it out. Same with the 2 Faced Better Than Sex which is a shame
I'm guessing online they've just mixed up the lists between the different countries, as the regulations are different so the ingredients would be too. I'd definitely go by what's on the box since that would have been made and printed in the same factory.
@@daisiesandpandas1218 yes exactly. Also the same goes for many Korean SPFs, they're not allowed to be in stores in US because the FDA doesn't allow certain new chemical filters. I'm guessing it's down to a particular customer service representative,who perhaps doesn't want to get in trouble by saying the wrong thing 🤷🏼♀️ that would be my guess,but of course we won't know for sure :/
It sounds like you had an allergic reaction to the lift plumper! Please don’t use it any more! It would also appear that you may have breathed in the chili….! Thank you for the heads up! I actually bought one of them and thankfully I haven’t used it yet!
I bought one of the MUA eyeshadow palettes on your recommendation and I love it. It is the grungy one and it stays in my eyes all day and the shimmers are stunning! My daughter loves the Beauty Bay own brand mascara. Have you tried that?
I just couldn’t get the Telescopic Mascara work for me. My lashes got super clumpy and smudged. Not a fan whatsoever. I love the L’Oréal Million Lashes mascara - it’s very underrated imo.
I hate IT Cosmetics CC😢 I just don't understand how anyone could like its heavy texture. It gets really cakey on skin and in daylight looks horrible. It's one of these (many) products that you buy because influencers recommend it and then you promise yourself AGAIN that you won't do it anymore!
What about other elf products? Can we trust them to have the accurate ingredient list? come on elf!!! Restore our faith in you by responding to this question. Gemma, Please keep us informed if you get an answer. Thanks from a fan of Gemma and a former fan of Elf.
Wow Gemma, thank you so much for the info about the Elf cc cream! In this day and age there is no excuse not to be transparent and accurate regarding ingredients!?
I wish there were marketing regulations as I just hate lying brands. Or lying anything. Honesty and integrity is not valued as much as it should be
It's the same with food products.
Full of health claims lacking REAL evidence.
Often, product ingredients on the website and nutrition facts don't match the packet
I hate that companies even produce low quality products that nobody wants to use because they use them once and realize it’s a waste! It’s like please have a product that makes you feel proud!!! Don’t destroy our earth for low quality products just to make a $!!!!
RIGHT⁉️
I mean WTF is wrong with people??
You´ll find the shade name of the elf lipliners on the top of the cap - very small, bring your magnifying glass.
Thank you so much for pointing out the obfuscation game Elf is playing with the ingredients listings on their new Camo "hydrating" CC Cream. I have rosacea on this 64-year old face, and I read those ingredients lists for many reasons. No way I'll consider this product - or any other complexion products from Elf. Though I do love their Hydrating Camo Concealer, in a couple of different shades. I use that on areas not affected by the rosacea. Thanks Gemma!
Can’t believe a company as big as Elf can’t get the ingredients right on their CC cream. Surprised they haven’t been pulled up for it before
You should care if a deodorant is aluminium free because aluminium in deodorants settle in the lymph nodes causing breast cancer, I haven’t used high street deodorants with in aluminium for 5yrs and go out of my way to look for aluminium free deodorants, at the moment I’m using Neal’s Yard Rose & Geranium it smells gorgeous & I’m protected all day, it’s worth paying a lil more to keep your body healthy & free from toxins.🧡

Cc cream of CHANNEL IS FANTASTIC... I AM OVER 60😅
Pixi skin tint in nude is wonderful. Doesen't sink into fine lines and would suit mum too as we're around the same age 👍
The shade for the Prada foundation in on the top of the refill bottle. It has a black printed rectangle with a number on it. That is the shade. Pull it out of the package to be able to see it on the refill bottle. ✌🏻❤️
Thank you x
It’s also on the front of the refill bottle.
I'm old and a returning viewer!! LOL
Me, too ❤😊
Haha. Thank you for returning x
Same 😅

Thank you, I’ll make sure she is aware x
Erborian is great for my dry 70 yr old skin but Rimmel was a fail. Erborian also has a green corrector that works for me
Duck Plump!! 😂I really don't want a duck bill pout. Great video as always Gemma
I had the same experience with the lip gloss. I don’t lick my lips but I do press them together a lot out of habit so it got in my mouth and it ended up being an ordeal that took quite a while to dissipate. I thought Lip Venom was bad; it’s nothing compared to this.

I have been loving that elf mascara! It does not smudge, it separates, and it is so easy to remove.
I have a few Elf Mascaras I like a lot...they have a fewx
So glad you love it xxx
Thanks as always for being honest Gemma
See you soon ❤

Prada shade is on the canister inside the component.
Necklace? Crazy about the first product! So glad I saw this, bc I was going to purchase, not now! 😳
Hi gamma glad to get you back after RUclips stops you uploading your chenal to me xxx
Looking forward to your concealer review video. It's always helpful to know what concealer would work and it's always good to know what to look for.
I am so glad (well, sorry) that someone else had the same experience with the Lash Extndr (spelling???) as I did. Flat eyelashes almost immediately, a second coat for me is quick and light, but it actually made my lashes crunchy., a bit spidery, some sticking together & didn’t hold a curl. SO disappointing, I want to love it as it was brown, and a nice shade at that. 😢. Still so hard to find. Oh, but the tubing/water removal was as expected and maybe a touch of lengthening.

I’ve got a couple of the Mua lip pencils like yours and I love them plus the Matt lipsticks and one gloss and I’m really pleased with them ,plus two of the mini eyeshadow palettes xx
I've tried a lot of products from elf. Their halo glow, cc cream, putty primer, gripping primer, concealers, lip products and they've either broken me out badly or made my eyes stream. No other brand does this to me so I stay well clear of all their products now!
That’s such a shame x
Love the Catrice concealer ❤ would love to find a dupe for the Chanel CC cream which is my ride or die for over 50 skin 😊
Nice video. I could listen to your accent all day. 😊 I cannot find a signature scent. I have tried so many and no one ever asks me what I’m wearing. I have ordered small samples of two high-end perfumes that you recently suggested. I’m hoping one of them works for me. I wore Clinique aromatics elixir for years and always got compliments. Also philosophy grace fresh cream got me compliments, I did want to try something newer so we will see !
Have you tried the lighter foundations from Sculpted By Aimee? Trying to find an alternative to It Cosmetics Nude Glow due to the snail ingredient.
Thank you for views on the Santal deodorant! It's literally advertised everywhere. What's the smell actually like is it nice? Because they also do a shower gel and other products in the scent, so if the scent was lovely there are other products you can get in order to enjoy it.
It's a lovely smell...it reminds me of holidays xxx
Enjoyed your video so much! Would it be possible to do a little video on various Catrice skincare and cosmetic products?
I'll add the idea to my list, although, one brand videos tend not to do so well on my channel xxx

Totally feel you about the Maybelline chilli lipgloss. I love a hot chilli, however I tried this yesterday and was just 🥵🌶🔥🔥🔥
Hi from Florida I'm new to your channel. Your video was very informative. I agree Elf is a bit hit or miss on its make-up but they do make great brushes.
Gemma have you tried the Catrice True Skin Hydrating concealer? Definitely recommend if you like the liquid camouflage x
Always glad to see these types of videos!❣️. I personally don’t support Elf or NYX cosmetics but have recently come across a good brow pencil and lip liner from L. A. Girl that are quite reasonably priced with good pigmentation. 👍🎉
Your hair is looking so healthy recently 🥰
Thank you for this very helpful video! ❤
Thanks for the deodorant recommendation! I tried Wild and got a horrendous reaction. Have ordered the Aurelia one and hopefully that'll be good x
Never been so early to one of your videos! Love your content, and how in depth you go with formulations! I appreciate your realness ❤
Thank you x
I always look forward to your videos. Can see the research behind them. I really like you higher end/affordable videos. Will we see any of those for concealers
Gemma, you have amazing skin, can you make a video on how you take care of your skin? Products/techniques etc? 😃
Hi Gemma! Maybe I’m wrong but I think the shade of the Prada foundation is on the refillable bottle ( so you have to remove the refillable bottle to see it…) Thank you for this video, very useful! 🌷
You just perfectly described an allergic reaction to a product, when talking about the Maybelline plumper.
I tried the chili plumper: holy crap I was underwhelmed. I felt ill, too
I came here to say the same thing!!!
Finally , someone who had the same result from the ELF mascara. It did absolutely nothing for my lashes, whether primed or not.
I am so glad you tried the salt and stone as I was so tempted to buy it. I will save my mpney
Does the ingredient confusion wirh ELF cc cream impacted your trust of the accuracy on their other skincare or make-up?
Yes it does unfortunately. I’m in the process of checking all the ingredients of every elf product I own x
Oh, baby did I fall for the Elf lash extender. Loved the lash and roll, but this mascara was gummy going on, crispy, didn’t separate and harder to take off. A big fail for me too!

that’s worrisome about the issue with ingredients on the Elf product.
I am so excited about the concealer video now. Always on hunt for the perfect one. I have different one from MF it's look like Fenty dupe only what is really annoying they have it only in 5 or 6 shades it's concealer with vitamin C and caffeine in it

I love lawless no need for lip filler something like that, use NYX , Rimmel, and Rare beauty..I only need so manyip liners .
I love the Necessaire deodorant gel. I get it in the fragrance-free
Ty Gemma. Very informative. I am not a fan of Elf makeup or drugstore complexion. IT Cosmetics alsonot good for me.🎉🎉🎉
Erborian is the best ever foundation and recommended by Nadine Baggott
I appreciate your advice so much. I purchased my two favorite foundations because of your recommendations. The IT Nude Glow and a Max Factor that really surprised me. Thank you, I love your videos!!!

Off topic, but I have questions about The Ordinary skin care products. I purchased Matrixyl 10% HA, Argireline Solution 10%, Niacinamide 10% Zinc 1% and Multi-Peptide HA Serum, aka "Buffet". How do I layer these products for best results. Which two should I use together for a week and then switch and use the other two the following week? Thank you. Love your videos

Love how it looks initially but by the end of the day I'm a raccoon. Seems like such a waste to toss it but I might have to!
Try a very light dusting of pressed powder under your eyes before applying the Telescopic mascara.
It’s shocking that ELF didn’t immediately sort out the ACTUAL ingredients when you brought it to their attention. Many people are sensitive to some ingredients - I have to be very careful as my skin is quite sensitive - and ELF could be culpable if they haven’t listed the correct ingredients and some people get a reaction.

Gemma, good video as always. You save us money with this type of video. It is my understanding that the name of the ELF lip liners is on the cap. I don't have any yet so can't confirm.
I will try the L’Oréal mascara Lash Paradise-I prefer a wet formula, my lashes look better with a creamier mascara. Thanks for the info!
Lash Paradise is my all time favorite mascara. Long lasting and doesn’t flake. . I use it every day.
Telescopic is my absolute favourite and has been my go to for about 10 years
Hey Gemma, really enjoyed your video but I didn’t understand whether or not you’ve actually used the two deodorants that you’ve discussed. Personally, I have the Aurelia and as good as it smells, it does not keep me smelling that great all day -a few hours sure but not a long day, and certainly not one where I exert myself, so I was just wondering if you’ve had any full day wears of either of these deodorants? 🤔🥰
Mascara applicator wands are a biggie for me. The Beauty Pie tubing mascara I would REALLY love, but the wand - just why? If it were a nice cone shape I’d be buying that all year long for every day wear, but it’s so strange I just can’t work it out.
Same with the 2 Faced Better Than Sex which is a shame
I'm guessing online they've just mixed up the lists between the different countries, as the regulations are different so the ingredients would be too.
I'd definitely go by what's on the box since that would have been made and printed in the same factory.
Yh I was thinking this, there are even some SPF allowed in the US that EU/UK doesn't allow. Regulations was my first thought
But why Elf won't say that, i don't know, maybe it's not Elf per se, but some customer service agent that won't give a straight forward reply?
@@daisiesandpandas1218 yes exactly. Also the same goes for many Korean SPFs, they're not allowed to be in stores in US because the FDA doesn't allow certain new chemical filters.
I'm guessing it's down to a particular customer service representative,who perhaps doesn't want to get in trouble by saying the wrong thing 🤷🏼♀️ that would be my guess,but of course we won't know for sure :/
Wow, you experience with ELF's new CC Cream has really put me off the brand. That's terrible that they appear not to care!
✨❤️I’m on my 3rd Necessaire deodorant….LOVE IT‼️❤️✨
I hope ELF isn’t becoming the new revolution 😢 as there are a few products I genuinely love xx
Hallo, on Prada foundation hard to see but on bottom, inside the packaging at the bottom area above expectation.
Apparently the shades of the elf lip pencils are on the cap, albeit tiny!
I didnt have much problem with the maybelline plumper, mild tingling. True not much plumping but otherwise fine.
I’m glad it worked for you Diane xxx
We all love when they say , oh you smell do nice ❤. I prefer a natural deodorant for health reason at this point in life
When you said it made your lashes feel crispy and crunchy I thought of Krispy Krunchy donuts! Sorry
It sounds like you had an allergic reaction to the lift plumper! Please don’t use it any more! It would also appear that you may have breathed in the chili….! Thank you for the heads up! I actually bought one of them and thankfully I haven’t used it yet!
Not quite a CC cream, but Trinny BFF is good 😊
I bought one of the MUA eyeshadow palettes on your recommendation and I love it. It is the grungy one and it stays in my eyes all day and the shimmers are stunning! My daughter loves the Beauty Bay own brand mascara. Have you tried that?
I also love the Beauty Bay Mascaras xxx
I wonder if maybe you’re allergic to something in that Maybelline hot gloss? How scary! Glad you’re ok.
I prefer pencils that need sharpening, you can get a more precise line.
The elf lip pencil-the name is tiny on top of the cap. But so teeny you cant read it anyway.😂
You can still use that mascara just try using a different wand
I didn't like the formula either Rhonda xxx
I want so badly to try the MUA products but can’t seem to get them in the US right now.😢
Is the Elf camo corrector any good?
The Lash Paradise formula is great but dries incredibly fast, in one month it was dry, I bought an other one and same dryness happened, not worth it
I just couldn’t get the Telescopic Mascara work for me. My lashes got super clumpy and smudged. Not a fan whatsoever. I love the L’Oréal Million Lashes mascara - it’s very underrated imo.
I absolutely hated the telescopic lift too 🙂
you always look perfect
Aww thank you xxx
I hate IT Cosmetics CC😢 I just don't understand how anyone could like its heavy texture. It gets really cakey on skin and in daylight looks horrible. It's one of these (many) products that you buy because influencers recommend it and then you promise yourself AGAIN that you won't do it anymore!

What about other elf products? Can we trust them to have the accurate ingredient list? come on elf!!! Restore our faith in you by responding to this question. Gemma, Please keep us informed if you get an answer. Thanks from a fan of Gemma and a former fan of Elf.
That’s my worry at the moment too Bev. X
