ELF COSMETICS

 Here is some backgroujd information about E.L.F Cosmetics for those who are not familiar with the brand.

Launched in New York and guided by American celebrity and beauty professional Scott-Vincent Borba (the man behind Hard Candy’s cosmetics line) e.l.f. Cosmetics burst onto the beauty scene in June 2004 with the mission to provide customers with quality cosmetics at low prices. Today, revolutionary cosmetics brand e.l.f., continues to enable makeup lovers to enjoy and experiment with makeup without sacrificing their budget.

People often ask how e.l.f. are able to provide their customers with such fantastic products, most for as little as £1.50. By sourcing the best ingredients at competitive prices, and by using the internet for branding rather than higher-priced advertising media e.l.f are able to pass the savings on to their customers providing them with some of the highest quality, low cost cosmetics on the market today.

e.l.f continues to revoloutionise the beauty industry, turning heads away from more expensive brands with its unique approach. A favourite of some of the industries most influential Beauty Editors and customers alike, e.l.f.’s community and following continues to grow.

e.l.f. arrived on British shores with it’s much anticipated launch on 27th November 2007 and is run by Welsh brother and sister team, Neil Phillips and Jo Westlake from e.l.f. UK’s HQ in sunny Swansea!!

I had first noticed this brand on my travels within the US quite a few years back. I had to travel every year to the US to make sure I renewed my greencard. I can not say that I love all of their products as I have not tried their whole range however for the few products that I have tried, I can say that ELF is a worth getting your hands on!!!

Also keep a look out online for their discount offers! I am quite sure after they gain massive brand awareness here in the UK, there will not be huge discount offers.

Thank you ELF cosmetics =)

POISONOUS LIPS: LEAD IN LIPSTICK?!

Sorry readers... I have been M.I.A again -_- I have been really busy with work and with family as of lately.

Since I have been really busy this month I was actually thinking of starting to do my week in pictures 'tag'. Blogers are currently taking random pictures within the week and posting it up so readers can have a brief view of what has been going on in their lives.

Now going back on track...

Quite a while back one of friends had asked me if I knew anything about lead being in liptick! I heard the fiasco about it a while back but never researched into it. Lead builds in the body over a period of time and can cause some major health concerns.

Reports shown it is linked to learning and behavioural disorders, miscarraige, reduced fertility and hormonal changes. After long exposure it can cause damage to your kidneys. Pregnant women and young children are most vulnerable!!!

She had then mentioned a method on how you can check.

FREE LIPSTICK FROM MAC?!!!

Happy Bank Holiday Monday!!!

I know I have not been consistant with my blog as of recently and would like to apologise to my readers. The weather here in London does not help at all! I came down with a bad cold & fever. Then to top it off I caught a bad bug that does not allow me to keep any food down  -___- But now I am back!!!

Whilst I was ill, I was catching up with my YouTube videos and I never knew after all this time I could have received a free MAC lipstick or even a few!

MAC Cosmetics have a program called...

BACK TO M.A.C

As a way of giving back to the environment, MAC allows returns of any of their primary products in the original packaging (except form Pro Long Wear, Viva Glam and Sheen Supreme) through their program. If you return 6 MAC primary products in the original packaging to a MAC counter, you will receive a free MAC lipstick of your choice!!!

So ladies raid your make up stash, get your old MAC products that you do not use or are out of date, depot your eyeshadows and go to MAC to get a free lipstick ^_^ Had I known this sooner, I would have had a huge collection of MAC lipsticks!!!
