“The best thing is to look natural, but it takes makeup to look natural.” – Calvin Klein
This great little brand is one of my favorite “Beauty on a Budget” secrets – e.l.f makeup and brushes are so cute, super affordable, and the quality is awesome. The prices are also totally incredible – you can pick up a ton of new trendy colors and fun products, and never blow your budget. They’ve got makeup sets starting at just $3 bucks – or get the totally amazing Mineral Makeup Starter Kit above for only $20 – HUGE value, seriously. It works just as good as other more expensive mineral makeup that I’ve tried – but the prices makes me way happier!
To paint a pretty picture – You need the perfect tools!
It’s really important to have the right brush for each type of makeup – at least two sizes of shadow brushes, a big fluffy powder brush, another for blush – and a lip brush is the best trick to making your favorite lipstick last twice as long. Throw in a lash curler and brush too – and you’re usually looking at a big investment. But – If you get your makeup brushes from e.l.f. instead, you can get twice as many for half the price. Another reason I totally recommend e.l.f. brushes is because if you buy one of their big value sets, you get to try out a ton of shapes and sizes, to figure out which styles work best for you. The set above is only $30 bucks – and you 11 brushes PLUS a sweet storage case.

– I love the little license plates. The steering wheel really moves, the trailer can actually hitch on and off of the car in the back, and the police man all have fun accessories, to make play time more realistic. The packaging for this play set says for ages 5 and up – Well, if you’re talking about safety, or the finished toy, then yes – it’s great for a 5 year old. But if we’re discussing ease of building, then this is definitely meant for a bigger kid. I helped our 8 year old put this together – and while it was super fun, it was a bit of a challenge! There are a TON of pieces included in this box, and it would be way too overwhelming for a 5 year old to manage it all by themselves. But if they have a little help – once it’s put together, it’s perfect for even the tiniest hands! My 17 month old smacked these around on the tile floor – a lot, lol – but they held together really well. All of the kids had a blast with them!
