Around the time I began college, was the time I entered the world of makeup. High schools makeup routine was foundation that didn't really match and way too much eyeliner. However, in college it all just clicked. Whether it was meeting people who knew what the heck they were doing or being immersed in a place where people made makeup look like a form of art, you start to get it together. So, as a college student, I wanted to share with you why E.l.f Cosmetics is the best brand for you.

We all know the must have brands, we also know the prices of these brands.. and yeah, there's just no way to afford it as a full time student. This is why Elf is for you!

I stumbled upon Elf one day while just perusing the beauty isle and the repetitive stickers saying "$3" "$3" "$3" automatically caught my eye. The majority of their products are this cheap, and their higher end products, I have yet to see anything above $23. Another great thing about this brand is that they're CRUELTY-FREE. This isn't only important for the environment, but also for you. You can rest easy knowing your putting natural things on your face that aren't tested on animals.

Below I've listed some products, along with their prices, that have been staples in my makeup bag.

Lip exfoliator, $3

Lipstick, Wine Tour, $3

Concealer and Highlighter Duo, $3

Daily Brush Cleaner, $3

Contouring Blush and Bronzing Powder, $4

Eyelash and Brow Wand, $1

These are just a few of their products, along with many, many more. Give e.lf. a try and see just how much magic you can achieve for an incredibly low price!
