e.l.f. Mineral Booster
Target had a display of e.l.f. mineral make up a month or two ago, and because I'm always looking for something to give me a flawless finish, I picked up the Booster Face Translucent Mineral Finishing Powder. This kit contains 1 booster powder (0.17 oz./4.8 g.) and a blending brush. This kit was priced at a reasonable $4.99, so I thought if it didn't work out, I wasn't out too much money. I have never used e.l.f. products other than their eye lash curler, which is the best I've ever used. I also recently ordered some brushes, primarily to get some more concealer brushes for cuticle clean-up, but that ordering process and their customer service have greatly disappointed me. But, I'll save that review and ordeal for another day!





This is a nice little kit for the price, and even though I can't use the brush for the purpose intended, it is useful for other applications. The finishing powder itself works well alone, and I'm sure it would do a good job over foundation also. I recently started wearing liquid foundation for the first time, but I find with the warmer temperatures and some sun/tan on my face, I'm reverting back to just using a powder foundation. MAC msfn is what I've used for quite a while, but I'll definitely be using the e.l.f. product quite a bit during the summer months. I like the "barely there" natural look that it gives, the light feel, and the oil control it provides, giving my skin a dewy look. It's nice to find a product at this price that doesn't look too powdery or cakey, but still controls the oil.
Never having used their color cosmetics before, if you have any recommendations for other e.l.f. products you like, I'd love to hear about them!
Hey! I just bought my first elf stuff too! It was a 50-50 success rate. Here's the post I did about the stuff I got. Hope it helps! http://www.mymilkglassheart.com/2011/05/09/e-l-f-haul/
ReplyDeletethanks for the review! i have a few e.l.f. products, i like some of their brushes, but not all! their flat top Kabuki is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI use the Booster too (with a Kabuki brush) and I like the natural look it gives. BTW I use concealer brusher for clean-up too :-) and I'm a big fan of their mineral lipsticks!
ReplyDeleteI really love their boosters and glow! Especially the tinted booster.
ReplyDeleteI really love elf products, so far I ordered nail polishes, liquid eyeliners and brushes.
ReplyDeletemy fav nail polish is Punk Purple which is a beautiful color and the Chocolate one is to die for...the onlyno-no is that the color shown is not exactly the real color...but so far no awful surprise lol
the liquid eyeliners are fantastic, I prefer the plum color but the coffee one is cute too.
I order from the UK site and never had a problem so far...they ship super fast and send us text messages when the package is shipped.
plus there are always fantastic freebies or free shipping costs!!
with my last order I received the 32pc basics eyeshadow palette...luv it *_*
yep I'm an Elf fan because it is affordable and the products I tried are of good quality.
ps: try the Punk Purple nail polish, I think you'll like it ;)
Thanks for the review. I had an issue to e.l.f. customer service as well. I do adore their $1 concealer brush...it's the best for cuticle clean up.

Interesting that this is such a good product. I've never tried any e.l.f. products. I hate to try a product that's inexpensive and it doesn't work out. Sounds like there's some good products.
