During my search for babylips, I saw Elf cream eyeshadow for $1.00!!!! The pot in the packaging looks very small, but once out of the package its a decent size, very decent size for $1.00. I bought Bronzed, it is a very pretty brown with gold in it! The color can go on sheer if you prefer or darker, depending on how much you apply. |

I love Elf makeup and products. Beautiful colors that wear well, and you can't beat that price. I've heard they are made by the same company that makes Mac makeup. |

I am definately buying more, and wanted to point out it looks so small, but they've packaged it upside down so you can see the color! Its normal size after all |

M.A.C. and E.L.F.formulas are both made in China but not by the same company. Estee Lauder took over M.A.C. a while ago (and there went the uniqueness of it). |

You are saying the prices are good? I know we had a cosmetic formulator come to Cosmetology School back in the day and told us the cost then to make a lipstick was 3 cents whether you bought it at the five and dime or high end department store brands! |

so much of everything, no matter where its from, is so marked up. From DIY'rs to high end skincare! People are making a killing and we buy like mad!
depending on brand name your talking, perhaps, 100% and up markups?
I know an old rule in jewlery was a 300% mark-up. Salon hair products was 2x's to 3x's cost, and on it goes |

So true Tiny!
I would just as soon buy American where I can, Lord knows we need to lower unemployment and raise this economy!
No offense to other countries intended! |

Good luck! you might THINK you're "buying American" but where do you think the ingredients come from?
Not saying they arent top quality either - Ive never been disappointed with the results. Check Alibaba for any ingredient you use and see where the major suppliers are.... |

I was not just talking about ingredients, if you look and are willing to support some smaller US businesses you can find things that are 100% American grown/made! |

Just used the cream eyeshadow, while its not as creamy as most that I've used, it definitely lays down a lot more color.
So the creamier ones I have to build the color, this one is harder to work with, ie: work fast, but less hassle, settles faster too! So for $1.00 I'd give it a big thumbs up! |

I find that type works best, the too creamy ones tend to crease and just melt allover, look awful! |

creamer ones work fine but take forever on me! I have to let them dry to settle. This one settles fast and I can now report, stays, it looked as it did 4 hours ago!
So harder to work with, ie: thicker, faster dry, but alot more color
pros: more color, stays put, dries faster
so bottom line, the pros are the cons. LMAO |
