Several weeks ago I received this email in my inbox that made me want to jump up and down (except that I’m seven months pregnant and certain that’s not a good idea). It said…”You’ve been selected to host an e.l.f. Makeup at Home Party.” Me? Host a party? With makeup? That I already wear? It took me all of a few seconds to hit the reply button.
I joined SheSpeaks about a year ago. It’s a community of women, created by women to give them a place to express their opinions and connect with other women. My involvement has included testing products and expressing my opinion about those products on their site. I just moved up to a whole other level (giggle).
The brand is relatively new and now in Target stores across the country. The makeup is SO affordable…as in $1 and $3 items. It looks great and it’s super easy to use!
e.l.f. and SheSpeaks made it super easy to host the party. They provided my guests and I with 283 pieces of makeup from each of their three lines (e.l.f., Studio, and Mineral). There was so much makeup, my guests’ bags were overflowing and I STILL have so much makeup left over. They also provided us with an instructional DVD with tips on one of e.l.f.‘s makeup artists, and a set of studio brush kits for each of my 10 guests. We also received look sheets and tips which made it super easy to completely make ourselves over.
Once we had a chance to mingle and eat (more on food in a bit), we started making ourselves over. I don’t ever remember a time where I had makeup in all shades and colors at my disposal to try without any obligation to buy. Not only were we allowed to try things like foundation, blush, and eyeshadow, we were able to try things I (and many of my guests) don’t normally use, like bronzer and facial whip. e.l.f. truly stands behind their products, which is why they are hosting these parties across the country.
My absolute favorite line from the company is their mineral makeup (which is usually pricey in most stores). Being the eco mama that I am, I like the fact that there are no chemical additives, dyes, or parabens. The make looks incredible when applied (did you see my pictures?) and it’s so affordable ($3 eyeshadow and $5 blushes).
If you want to look like the model you are, check out their Studio Line. Their brushes, in particular, are amazing for achieving looks you wouldn’t otherwise achieve with your fingers.
Right now they have an amazing offer where you can receive a free mini makeup collection with any $20 minimum order. Simply enter the code LOYAL upon checkout! For free shipping on orders over $25, enter code MUAH. And for up-to-the minute deals, follow them on Twitter!

I’ll have to give this stuff a try! I have a hard time finding stuff that is comfortable to wear! I don’t wear hardly any make up at all because most of it bugs me!
What a really fun thing to do!! I’m actually kind-of jealous of you! But not really, because you are such a sweetie, that you certainly deserve it!! 🙂
I have heard so many good things about these products, that I can’t wait to get over to Target to try them.
I saw your pictures on WW, and you look MAH-VA-LUS!!!
