I have been so pleasantly surprised at many of the e.l.f. products that I've tried. I buy mine from Target, and you just can't beat the low prices. Most of what I buy is $1 or $3.
My tip-top favorite e.l.f. item? Probably their $3 eyebrow kit. It contains a dual-sided small brush that can be used for the powder filler (which I use on the inner parts of my brows, closest to the nose) and the gel filler (which I use to define the arch and fill in the outer brow area).
Other e.l.f. favorites of mine:
Eyeshadow brush
Mineral eyeshadow primer (crazy happy with this one too)
Oil blotting sheets
Clarifying pressed powder (great for eliminating my afternoon shine)
The Shimmering Facial Whip (available here) gives a slight shimmer to cheekbones. At a dollar per tube ... it's a winner. A similar product, Benefit High Beam ($26), was on my wishlist for a while, so I got this $1 substitute and was a happy girl.
I think the HD blush ($3) above has to be the one product of theirs that I am most excited to try, and I really can't wait to pick it up soon.
Funny anecdote on the blotting sheets -- during my sister's wedding in the warm South Carolina month of September, I kept these on hand while we were doing the big group pictures. I persuaded some of the groomsmen to try them with the strict promise that it was "not makeup." They were so dumbfounded and impressed with these sheets and how they work! They took off some of that heat-induced shine, ensuring that the boys were camera-ready too :)
Have you tried the e.l.f. brand? What's your favorite inexpensive makeup item?
