Hey skincare lovers! 🌟 Today, I'm excited to share my thoughts on three amazing products from e.l.f. Cosmetics that have become staples in my routine. Let's dive in!

1. e.l.f. Holy Hydration! Face Cream

Instructions: Gently massage a small amount of moisturizing cream onto clean skin. Apply before makeup to help prep and prime skin for extended makeup wear or add to your morning and evening skincare routines.

Ingredients:

• Niacinamide: Minimizes the appearance of pores and evens out skin tone.
• Squalane: Hydrates and locks in moisture.
• Hyaluronic Acid: Provides intense hydration.
• Peptides: Promote a plump, bouncy complexion.
• Vitamin B5 (Panthenol): Soothes and moisturizes.

Personal Opinion: This face cream is lightweight yet deeply hydrating, making my skin feel soft and moist. The niacinamide helps to even out my skin tone, and the hyaluronic acid keeps my skin plump and hydrated all day. It's perfect for both day and night use, and it layers beautifully under makeup. A definite must-have! 💧

2. e.l.f. Keep Your Balance Toner

Instructions: Using a cotton pad, apply toner to a clean face and neck, avoiding the eye area.

Ingredients:

• Hyaluronic Acid: Locks in moisture for a plump complexion.
• Witch Hazel: Anti-inflammatory and tightens the appearance of pores.
• Aloe Extract: Soothes and calms the skin.

Personal Opinion: It’s very gentle, focusing more on the cleansing than the moisturizing. That's why I normally use this to replace the morning cleansing. The hyaluronic acid provides a nice gentle hydration, while the witch hazel helps to keep my pores in check. The aloe extract is a soothing bonus, making this toner perfect for daily use. My skin feels clean and ready to absorb the next steps in my routine. 🌿

3. e.l.f. Holy Hydration! Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm

Instructions:

1. Scoop out a dime-sized amount of makeup melting balm with the included spatula and massage onto dry skin.
2. Moisten fingertips and continue to massage into the skin using circular motions.
3. Rinse with water or remove with a warm damp cleansing cloth.

Ingredients:

• Hyaluronic Acid: Hydrates and plumps the skin.
• Ceramides: Help to restore and maintain the skin's natural barrier.
• Peptides: Nourish and improve skin texture.

Personal Opinion: This cleansing balm is a game-changer! It effortlessly melts away all traces of makeup, including stubborn waterproof mascara. The balm transforms into a luxurious oil and then a milky texture that rinses off clean, leaving my skin feeling silky smooth and hydrated. It's a fantastic first step in my double cleanse routine, and I love how it doesn’t strip my skin of its natural oils. 🧖‍♀️
