I love e.l.f. makeup. I've proven it time and again by writing about their products here at Everyday Baby Steps. The most affordable makeup I've ever used comes from e.l.f. Not only are their cosmetics affordable, but e.l.f. also offers exceptional quality for such a low price. I have tried some cheap drug store brands, but the key word with these products is definitely "cheap". There's nothing cheap about the quality e.l.f. offers.

I especially like their Mineral and Studio products. These lines offer makeup for eyes, lips and face, just as the company name says. Everything I've tried goes on smoothly and seems to be healthy for my skin, which is rather sensitive to some cosmetics. While the prices are a bit more than the basic e.l.f. lines, you still can't beat them, with most things costing only $3.00 - $5.00. You can't go wrong with prices like that!

What I love most about e.l.f is that such affordable prices allow me to experiment with the latest trends in makeup and to try new looks and products. I always visit the What's New page for the latest makeup trends. And now is the perfect time to play with new makeup, isn't it? With holiday parties going on and New Year's Eve fast approaching, you'll want to pick up some new colors to help you shine.

I think I'll have to pick up  a few things myself for the holidays. I'm thinking the new Red Velvet nail color would be perfect for New Year's Eve. I'd also like to add a little glitter with the Shimmer Eye Liner pencil in Gunmetal. Changing up your eyeliner color is a great way to add a big impact to your look. And for only a dollar a piece, there's no reason not to "splurge" on myself a bit!
