Anyone heard of E.L.F. Cosmetics?? If not, you are missing out!!


"e.l.f." stands for "eyes.lips.face"! e.l.f. is a brand that empowers women to be their own make-up artist, by teaching professional make-up application, tips & techniques, without sacrificing your budget! With all cosmetics at just $1 (yes, it's true! Pick your mouth up off the floor!), every woman can afford to look and feel beautiful!


~ e.l.f. Philosophy (as stated on their site!) ~

In today’s world, beauty and wellness go hand in hand – it’s a holistic approach that places good health and wellbeing at the center of what it means to be truly beautiful. Beauty comes from feeling and being your best, an inner confidence that translates to the outer-world as attractiveness.

e.l.f.’s philosophy is that beauty comes from within and its our goal to enable every woman to look and feel her personal best through the perfect blend of both the inner and outer person. With that goal in mind, e.l.f. cosmetics was born – a line of simple, luxurious, problem-solution tools that allow you to showcase and believe in your unique, personal beauty. Our cosmetics are designed to improve and accentuate the individual, not hide her away.

We at e.l.f. believe that innovative technology, quality ingredients and superb delivery systems should not be limited to prestige retailers. Every woman should have the opportunity to participate in innovation, without sacrificing her budget. We hope you agree and invite you to experience e.l.f.’s revolutionary, value-priced cosmetics and the proven results they offer.

This is an up-and-coming brand started by two men out of New York who used to listen to their wives complain about their make-up! e.l.f. has been featured in numerous women's magazines such as, "O", Good Housekeeping, Lucky, Allure, In Style, Self, Glamour, Seventeen, Elle Girl, Cosmo Girl, ym, Parenting, fitness, Ladies Home Journal, Red Hat Society, quick & simple, Life & Style, InTouch, Star, US Weekly, OK!, Shop, Etc., Prevention, Teen People, People, Latina - the list goes on and on! They have also been featured on the Style Network's "Stripped" and CNN's "On the Rise" programs. You can view each of these on their site!

They offer a Newsletter which you can sign-up for FREE! Also, they give make-up application tips from actual "big name" make-up artists! Yes, even the "big names" use these products!!

Okay, I will admit... I WAS skeptical! After checking out their features on those programs I mentioned above... it was stated that these products are BETTER than your "big name" cosmetics found in department stores. Granted, I have heard about cheap hair products being better than the ultra expensive ones... but make-up? Hmmmm! And this is make-up that is ONLY $1.00 PER PIECE - ALL of the TIME??? Yea right!! Didn't believe it... how could this be? So, I HAD to try them and see for myself!!

WOW! WOW! WOW! is all that I can say! Now, personally, I don't wear a lot of make-up! I've never done the eye make-up thing... and often times, I don't wear any make-up at all... but I LOVE LOVE LOVE my lip glosses and shimmers!! They have PLENTY of these to choose from! And at only $1.00, I bought up several! They even have the "PLUMPING" glosses that are SO HOT right now!! Yes, for ONLY $1.00!! So, I'll stop yapping and show you some pics of these truly AWESOME products!!

Can Labor Really Be Comfortable?

Today the spotlight is shining on this special gift set found at a special WAHM's website: Boobba Baby! These products claim to help with that journey! So, let's get enlightened...


Lighten My Labor™ Comfort Collection

Hear Ye, Hear Ye, Girls of the Royal Court: Having a baby hurts!
Yet Ye Shall Have Nothing to Fear: Alas, Lighten My Labor™ is here. At the end of your journey through a healthy pregnancy, you will have your beloved little prince or princess to hold in your arms and Lighten My Labor™ to help get you here.Because Labor is a journey that happens in phases (Early, Active, and Transition), the Phases of Labor Comfort Collection will ease you through labor pain with a system of products, each one royally, scientifically, and naturally formulated specifically to carry you through each phase.

View Collection Details below:

Relax with Me™ Wipped Massage Gel


A relaxing, whipped massage gel formulated with keynotes of lavender, the natural agent used for centuries in calming laboring women throughout the land. Both you and your labor coach will find soothing relaxation as he/she massages your belly, back, and feet with this luxurious, all-natural massage blend.

Essential to your comfort during the Early Phase of labor when Your Highness will likely still be languishing at the castle, all the way through the Active Phase when contractions will become exceedingly uncomfortable.

Breathe With Me™ Room Mist

A very fresh, mildly scented room/linen mist that will be essential for enhancing your well-being during the Active Phase of labor when you’ll be most aware of the not-so-royal, but very sterile odors characteristic of the land of hospitals and birthing centers.

Lift Me™ Body Mist

A body mist therapeutically formulated with drops of precious neroli oil to cool and refresh you during that time of the labor process when you’ll need it most. Lift Me can be gently misted onto your face and entire body to give you that “lift” you’ll need as labor progresses to a much higher intensity.An absolute must-have during the final phase of labor, referred to in hospital land as Transition. Your Highness will know that she has entered into this phase when she may bark at the bewildered King, “Unhand me at once. I regret that I am no longer comforted by your touch.”

Restore Me™ After Baby Bath Tea

An after-baby bath soak designed to aid in soothing those areas of your body that have suffered the most during labor and delivery. This specially formulated bath blend combines essential ingredients that will provide relief and comfort to you as those delicate areas are healing and being restored back to pre-pregnancy state.

These are such indulgent items that you may want to continue using them even long after baby arrives. If you grow to have any particular favorites note that you may also purchase any of these products individually!
