Has anyone tried ELF Cosmetics? They have been written up in many national magazines and everything is $1! My skin tends to simply absorb all my makeup including my powder foundation and everything I put on my eyes. I've tried just about every brand - is this any different?
Thank you, Mindy from Oregon

I may have just had good luck but my friends and I ordered from elf and had no problems. Mine did take a bit to be processed, but I expected it and when I emailed them I got a quick response saying my order was expidited. I'm pretty satisfied!

I dont think it's a ripoff. Its a dollar! My first order took a while but i got my stuff and have been using it and so far so good. My only complaint is the All over color stick. It just isnt a good item. My second order shipped more quickly on the first so maybe they are getting better. If you wont pay a dollar use a discount coupon and pay 50 cents. Then really complain!

I also ordered 10 things and received 8 and NO CREDIT to my account. WTF? The lip glosses seem to be nothing more than Crisco with food coloring in them. lol These products are disgusting and the company is unethical.

Wow! I thought I was the only one experiencing bad customer service. I agree 100% with everything said in regards to LOUSY customer service, SLOW shipping and most importantly, bad quality. I too got the email about ELF being bought out by Nordstrom and, as a dummy, fell for it. Their products (after a month wait) are the cheap stuff from China and their claims are completely bogus. I even questioned one of their marketing claims about their lip balm being infused with vitamins, etc. and they told me that it was not listed in their ingredients list because it was "infused". What a crock. Not true. Anyway, do yourselves a favor and DO NOT buy this cheap junk from China.

I don't see why ladies are complaining. I have always gotten my orders in full and on time. The make-up and nail polish have been wonderful. If I don't tell people they would never know I pay such cheap prices to look so good. Keep up the good work E.L.F. Love your stuff!

I've order from E.L.F. and had no troubles. Love the make-up and the price. It only took me a few days to get my order and it was complete. I would not have any problem ordering again and again.

Ladies this make-up is just junk. Whether it takes two months or two weeks to get to you IT'S STILL JUNK! Yes, it only costs a dollar but you get what you pay for and in this case you get cheap make-up that you will end up tossing in the trash. Why is this a problem? The make-up is so cheap because it's packed with carcinogens and other toxins that you are applying right on your skin. It's packaged in cheap plastic containers that are just going straight to the land-fill when you toss them out because the make-up you bought looks terrible, tastes bad, smells bad or makes your skin itch (yikes!). E.L.F. was NEVER bought by Nordstroms/Bloomindales and this is really just scam with super-poor quality goods that ultimately trash the environment. Do yourself and our poor, sick planet a favor and skip this scam. Spend a few extra bucks on make-up that actually works.

After I read all the comments, I cancelled my order. I called 800 numbers and the customer service representative cancelled my order without any questions. I received my cancellation conformation through my e-mail right away. Since I only interested in couple of things from their line, I will go to local dollar store to get it.

A friend of mine placed me on the ELF e-mail list and told me she was so excited about this makeup that claimed to be high end and most items only a dollar. I am laughing at myself now since most of the 13 items are low quality crap! The eye liner does not glide on, it actually goops up and I wiped it off right away. The lip color goes on smooth but tastes bad. The eye shadow is okay. I won't order anything from ELF again. It belongs in a dollar store for sure!

Terrible customer service. I was given no apology and no explanation as to why 5 of my items were missing. If I had not called to complain, they would have scammed me out of $5. I would have rather received my products than a refund, to spread out shipping costs. I wrote them a complaint and received an automated e-mail. Do NOT buy online from this company, they take NO responsibility for any of their mistakes and do NOT care about their customers.

Hi, I placed an online order on June 18 and received my items today, July 10. Sure the shipping takes a little long, but well worth it! I did not have any problems with customer service at all. I contacted them through their website and they got back with me quickly. Anyway, I'm not paying $1 for customer service. It's merchandise I am paying for. I absolutely LOVE the plumping lip glaze. I ordered the Baby Doll and it's such a pretty feminine shade. The duel mascara is also wonderful. I like the pressed powder, but I ordered a shade darker than what I normally like and it's a bit too dark, but I blend it with my cover girl ivory and it gives my face a nice sun tanned glow. I will be buying more stuff from them. I haven't had a chance to try everything else, but what I did try, I like.

Very disappointed in customer service and time it takes to receive an order. Their e-mail said that due to high demand it could take up to 14 days. Well I finally received mine yesterday after 4 weeks. The mineral eyeshadow seems fine, but the other pressed shadow seems cheap and doesn't glide on very well. Mascara brush has long bristles hanging off of it that will have to be cut IF I decide to use it. Everything is also made in China. Don't have anything against the country, but sometimes their "ingredients" are up to U.S. standards. This kind of worries me about using E.L.F. products. They left two of my items out which I paid for. I called and they said that they would send those two items out. We'll see. I was on hold forever trying to get this cleared up and they never came back to the phone. Had to call again and the same person answered. Thought that was strange getting the same customer service rep twice. Makes me wonder if they're running their business out of some hotel room and it its a scam? I doubt that I'll be ordering anything from this company again.

I originally found out about ELF cosmetics through an email that circulated among my friends. It was supposed to be a promotional pricing because they claimed they were being purchased by Nordstorm and would be repackaging everything. This is not true at all as confirmed by an actual Nordstrom representative. But who can complain about $1 item? I can't. But their CUSTOMER SERVICE IS TERRIBLE! Some item were out of stock and they were supposed to adjust my total. These items were not $1 each. The three items out of stock equaled to $11 which they still owe me. It's been difficult getting a straight answer via email and difficult to get a live person on the phone.

This is my first time trying e.l.f. and I'll be buying more. It's not high end expensive stuff so I'm not complaining about shipping time. I just purchased Shadows, mineral makeup, brushes, eyeliner, eye widener, and mascara. I love it. For a dollar who can complain!

It's fine. It's $1 makeup. I will agree -- the lip stuff tastes horrid, but it's worth playing around with. The mineral stuff is good as is the eyelash curler. You get what you pay for!

Do NOT buy from this company. They are horrible and do not care about customer satisfaction. I cancelled my order and they still sent my stuff and tried to charge my card. BEWARE! They are scam artists. Go to the drugstore and buy the products instead. They are available there!

I have ordered the mineral makeup from elf and love it. it goes on very nicely and evenly, doesn't make my face break out and though the shipping took a little longer I am very happy with the product. The lip color not in the tubes is not my favorite, will not order that again. The eyeshadow, i have yet to have a problem with. it blends very well and is great for using multiple colors on eye lids, it wears well. Overall satisfied, price is right, most other mineral makeup is over priced.

BEWARE of this company. Their customer service is terrible. When I placed my order, the confirmation email stated it could take 7-14 days for my order to leave the warehouse. When I checked back 2 weeks later, my order still hadn't been processed. The auto-response to my customer service complaint said it could take 72 hours for someone to respond! I called their 800 number to make sure the whole website wasn't a scam and the customer service rep was unable to give me an estimate of when my order would ship. A few hours later, I received and email saying that my order had been cancelled! Not worth the trouble from what I read about the quality of their makeup. Glad to have my money back...

The makeup is TERRIBLE. I mean less than $1 quality. I'm not a makeup snob either - give me Cover Girl or Maybelline any day. But ELF eye shadow crumbled within a week, the eyeliner is sloppy, and the other items I purchased are all equally bad. Don't buy this stuff!

I've ordered from Elf 2x the first time they "lost" my package in the mail; another was sent out and I received it in 2 weeks. The products are alright, you get what you pay for, it's great for my teenage daughter who likes to change her look all the time, and it's makeup she can afford. I have to say, I really like their applicator brushes.

Okay, I have ordered from elf twice, and haven't had any problems, I canceled one order, but only because I ordered something on accident. I don't really like the lip products, but the others are fine! Yes, it does take a few weeks to get the items "Due to high demand", but I have found that they are fine.
P.S. I am not someone they pay to do these things.

I am bitter about ELF. I ordered several eye pencils, liquid liners, and the lashes, I received all but 2 of the items I ordered, but I'm not sure I'd have received ANY of them if I hadn't emailed them. I ordered from 4 other big and small companies after I placed my order, and received ALL of those orders within a few days when it took ELF almost a month. I VERY SERIOUSLY DOUBT I'll ever order from ELF again.

I was taken in by their scam through an email that ELF was affiliated with Nordstrom's make up. I placed an order & passed the email on to all my girlfriends. Someone wrote back warning me that this was a scam & to check out the reviews - of which most are awful, she said. I did & then canceled my order the same day it was placed. I checked back two days later to be sure it had been canceled. Meanwhile, the authorization on my credit card was in place. I decided not to worry about it, knowing they usually cancel themselves out after 30 days if the final charge is never made.
Unfortunately, the order arrived nearly three weeks later. I called & was told I would see a credit on my CC within 1-2 days. I guess we'll see.... To my surprise, I was told to keep the makeup. I will leave it in its shipping carton for awhile to be sure about this...still do not trust them.
NOTE: I urge everyone who has been taken in by ELF's email scam to call the corporate offices of Target, K-Mart & Big Lots to complain of ELF's unethical business practices. (All three stores are shown on their website to carry the ELF products - at least in the 80537 zip code.) Big corporations do not like to be associated with unethical vendors, so perhaps enough complaints will pressure these giants to insist on some changes within the ELF business model.
FYI: ELF denies having anything to do with the emails, which they admit knowing have been circulating for over a year. Yet as a result of these emails, business is booming & ELF is weeks behind in shipping (their words) - but they refuse to post a notice on their website denouncing any affiliation with Nordstrom's or Bloomingdale's makeup.
Come on ELF -- step up to the plate & post a statement on your home page that you are not associated with Nordstrom's or Bloommingdales's makeup. (large enough that everyone can read it, please) This simple act would have been enough to make me exit your site & saved me a lot of wasted time & frustration in dealing with you after-the-fact.

I have ordered from ELF twice. The first time it took over a month to receive my items, and when I got the package, it was only a partial order. Customer service said I wouldn't be receiving these items, because they were out of stock, however, they were shown as "in stock" on the website. I received my credit for missing items. I placed a second order, and of the 25 things I ordered, I only received 8! Again, I was credited for the missing items, but I asked customer service what the point of ordering was if you couldn't be sure you would get the products you ordered. I got a form email response, apologizing for long shipping times and not addressing my initial concern. So frustrating. Like a FOOL I ordered a third time. We'll see how this one goes.
As far as the products, I don't particularly hate any of them but I don't particularly love them either. The facial tint is good. The eyeshadows are not rich colors and they fade. The lip products all look like clear on my lips -- almost no color. The brushes are pretty good -- well, the ones I received.

I just cancelled my order after reading these comments. I called and got a person right away and they cancelled my order seemingly with no problems and no questions asked. I received a cancellation email within two minutes of my phone call. We'll see if they credit my account right away as well. I may go back and order a couple of items just because of the great service to try it out. I originally ordered $80 to get the free shipping.

As I am seeing from other emails posted here, my experience with this company is common. I ordered 10 items and received only 4. I got the run around from their customer service dept. They have no answers and cannot explain why over half my items were missing. I have not yet tried their products but I can tell you not to expect to get what you ordered. This also happened to 2 people I know as well.

I ordered from e.l.f. in mid-May. Called to cancel order immediately after reading about the scam email on snopes.com. They cancelled the order, took charges off my debit card, but then they sent the order and charged me anyway in mid-June! I didn't call them or send it back. Some of the products are okay. The nail polish is really good, doesn't chip and goes on thick. I like the mascara, eyeliners and cosmetic bag. Didn't know until receiving that it's "Made in China". Scary! Will not use the lip gloss. Now they're sending me promos emails all the time! Will NEVER order from them again! May buy nail polish at my local Big Lots store.

I have ordered my make up about a week ago now. I have still yet to recieve about $50 worth of make up. I'm a wee bit nervous now but, I think I will wait to find out for myself, after all I would imagine that something worth only $1 isn't that high of quality. The problem is that I bough into that Nordstrom thing too...."wow, What a great deal" I thought! I will re write another review once I recieve my orders and let everyone else know how it went for me.
For everybody who has experienced ELF in a negative way Im just wondering if you've Ever reported them to the Better Business Bureau??? I can guarentee that if my card is charged and I'm not recieving all my products or don't get refunds I will report them in a heartbeat and I would suggest you do the same and use the tools that our nation has to protect yourself and others from businesses like this that feel they can take advantage of paying customers.

I just received my cosmetics order, which consisted of several of their product lines, including several lip glosses. DO NOT BUY THE LIP GLOSSES!! Not only did my lips begin to "tingle and slightly burn", but the aftertaste of the product tastes like perfume and I ended up wiping it off. It goes on smelling sweet, but then disolves into a very heavy perfume scent/taste. As for the other products (pressed powder, all over cover sticks, brushes, eyeshadows, eyeliners, blush), these are fine so far. They do not smear, sting, or feel sticky. Just the lip products I would steer clear of. Thank you for your time.

Does anybody here live in Canada (preferably Toronto)? The reason why I am asking is because I recently placed an order and am curious as to how long I have to wait for it. I think I might have to wait awhile for it to arrive as I read on their website (after I placed my order) that shipping to Canada takes a while due to delays at Customs. Can someone kindly let me know? I'd appreciate it. I have heard great things about this product so I am eager to try on the stuff I ordered!! :)

I'm back...fulfilling my promise to post opinions once my products arrived. I received 20 out of 25 things I ordered and was only charged $20. But there was no mention of why I didn't receive the other items, or IF I ever would. I called customer service and the guy basically said um, sorry, I just don't know.
First thing to note: this is NOT high end makeup! It is incredibly cheap - especially the plastic casings. But it's not all bad. Here's my summary:
Good: Mascara Eye liners Lip liners Brow clear mascara Nailpolishes Total face brush
Not so good: Powder eye shadows (didn't stay on) Powder Blushes (too bright, then faded to nothing) Shimmering facial whip (thick, smelly, ugly) All over color stick (too thick, didn't spread, smelly)
AWFUL: ALL of the lip products. The lip glosses and liquid lipsticks are thick and taste terrible. Then there's the problem that none of the products have any real color in them. They all turn to a frosty clear in no time flat. STAY away from all the lip glosses, tins, lipsticks and conditioning balm... ALL of them.
All in all, I doubt I got my money's worth. This is dimestore crap I could have gotten at the drugstore or dollar store.
Hope this helps! Buy cautiously. ~c

I recenly ordered about 15 items from elf. I placed the order on 5/22/2008. I received a package from elf on 6/14/2008. I opened the package to find 24 items, only one of which that I ordered. I've sent an email via the web form, only to receive two emails, one 3 days later and one 5 days later, saying that due to the volume of inquiries, they still cannot get to my email.
I would love to review the product itself, but at this point, their busniness-side of things has made me very aggravated.

I ordered about $60 worth of products online. I read reviews after I placed the order because it seemed to good to be true. I thought elf was a high end brand, then read that it could be purchased at the dollar stores. The website looked so promising. I called to cancel the order. I got an email confirmation canceling the order right away. My account won't be charged. I think I'll just check it out at the dollar store.

I, too, received the Nordstrom email and blindly ordered - which is so unlike me! But the site and references looked legitimate, so I wasn't too concerned. After I ordered, I started thinking oh my gosh, I should order more and take advantage of stocking up on essentials! So I ordered again...
This was three weeks ago and I haven't received anything. After reading all of these posts, I sent their customer service department an email. They responded in about 2 days with a phone number. I called it to cancel, but it was a voice mailbox. Luckily at the end of the recording there is a second number that actually leads you to a person: 866-928-1143. I tried to cancel my first order but it had already shipped. I cancelled the second, though, and received an email cancellation notice within minutes.
I really hope the stuff isn't terrible...being made in China doesn't give me too much pause, as so many products we all use everyday are made there. I'll re-post once my stuff gets here.
I have to comment on the spam thing -- hasn't happened to me. I definitely have not noticed any kind of upswing in my spam. Yes, I get a few a day, but I pretty much always have. Nothing out of the ordinary.
Good luck. c

I have ordered loads of makeup from elf and no problems yet. There are products I don't like, including: pressed powder, blusher, mascara, and nail polish. I also wouldn't recommend the liquid eyeliner (it peels and the applicator is so so) or the fake eyelashes (terrible terrible terrible!)
However, the mineral makeup is wonderful and thus far my favorite foundation and concealer I've ever used (over Mary Kay, which made my face break out!) The all over cover stick works wonderfully but needs to be covered with a powder base. I like all of the lip gloss, but I don't mind sticky lip gloss. If you do this product is not for you. I also like all of the lip liners and eyeliner sticks, and I absolutely LOVE the cream eyeshadows. Finally, the shimmering facial whips and all over color sticks are amazing shimmering color so if you like the shimmery glittery look, these are great! I use all elf brushes and although sometimes they shed, they don't shed copious amounts.
I am no makeup conneisuer but, I have enjoyed elf cosmetics as they have given me the option to experiment with color. Sometimes I have to retouch mid-day, but sometimes the make-up lasts all day. It depends on the day, which is no different from any other makeup Ive ever used
It has taken anywhere from 3 - 6 weeks to ship product, though. I do have some good coupon codes, however, so I never pay shipping, or I get at least 30 percent off each order. makes an inexpensive product even more fiscally appealling!

I just read all the reviews and have a new one to add. After a one month wait for my order, I finally received my package. The problem is that the box was EMPTY!!! All that was inside was the packing slip listing all 14 items I ordered and some brown packing paper. I called right away that day, June 9th, and was told that my message will be given to a supervisor immedately to deal with this issue and I should receive a call within 48 hours. I was also told that normally a credit would be given for any missing items but since my ENTIRE ORDER was missing they would make sure everything would be sent. Well, I didnt hear anything all week so I called again on Saturday, June 14th. Amazingly they had no record of my original call - hmm. I was told that this new message would be forwarded to the home office marked "Urgent" and if I dont hear anything within 48 hours to call again. Today is Tuesday, June 17th, and I havent heard from anyone so I called again. This new girl said she was having a hard time finding my message from Saturday so once again she was sending a message marked "Urgent" to a supervisor. I said that this is my 3rd call - the 2nd one to be marked "Urgent"- so what do I have to do to actually get this resolved? She apologized saying that they were very busy and I should have this taken care of by the end of the week. Yeah right. After reading all the comments on quality, I will be telling them to keep their products and just credit my card. That is, if I ever actually speak to someone!!!

I ordered from ELF and received only 11 of the 24 items I ordered. My credit card was still charged for the items I didn't receive. The customer service rep I spoke with was VERY RUDE! I asked her if I could still receive the items and she said they were out of stock. When I inquired about whether this is typical she said, "No, just for some items." Well, I think not receiving 13 out of 24 items is more then SOME! Do not order from ELF. The items I did receive are dollar store quality at best....I'm not impressed.

The e-mail claiming Nordstrom is taking over e.l.f. cosmetics is a complete scam! I threw away a lot of money on JUNK cosmetics. And, although I only paid $1 for each product, the wait and quality weren't worth it. Let this be a lesson to all of us to do our research before making such a blind purchase.
For those in doubt, go to the following link and read the fraud alert posted by Nordstrom on 9/4/07: http://about.nordstrom.com/help/our-policies/fraud-alert.asp

How very disappointed with the experience I had with e.l.f. Not only did the order come significantly later than estimated, but it was incomplete. How is it possible that the order, when placed, was accurate (showing items out of stock at that point -- none of those were chosen) and then when it came to fulfillment, suddenly they were no available. PLUS, they were the ONLY Iitems I was interested in anyhow!!! Finally, it does not appear the acocunting was accuarate, as I did not recieve 2 items but only $1 was taken off. This is no way to run a business. I have been tracking the 'scam', and it looks like they are racking up quite a bad reputation about how they handle customers -- only in it for the buck. I am so disappointed that I did not receive the head's up that my order would have been incomplete - I would have canceled my order then and there. But maybe that was their plan in the first place -- to make returnd onconvenient. Cannot get a refund once the order has been shipped. Yuck. Puts a bad mark on e-commerce. Oh, yes...and the email spam...that you very much...I don't get enough these days!!! Horrible horrible customer focus.

OK so I am still awaiting my order from them and I feel its worth a try its only $1, I ordered $50 worth of stuff got the $7.50 discount and the shipping was $6 not too bad, its just taking them long to ship which is kinda irritating, but as far as the spamming I just clicked the unsubscribe link in one of their emails and they stopped sending the ads.
I guess I will post another review once i receive my order and let every know whether I was satisfied or dissatisfied because allot of these reviews have mixed opinions. I'm not gonna cancel because I want to see for myself, it may be something I like that somebody else just didn't care for.
As for the Nordstrom story, I don't care about that anybody could have made that story up didn't necessarily have to be posted by E.L.F, as long as the story about the price was true thats all I was worried about.

Look at http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/nothing/elfcosmetics.asp Its a scam and they are spammer You will pay more for the shipping than the product is worth. Cheap quality stuff. These guys make their money off reselling your name (because you are a sucker and fell for stuff like this before) So you will get a lot of fabulous offers in your email box (all of the questionable quality and issues that this company has)
If it sounds too good to be true, it is. There are plenty of sites that give you promotional codes for deals from real branded companies.

I just got my order after waiting about 3 weeks. The eyeliners and eye shadows work beautifully, completely worth the $1 and more :-) however the lip glosses were TEENY, very small portions, and they smell and taste like perfume, so I'm not too crazy for those. If you want a lot of colors to play around with without spending an arm and a leg, I suggest their eye shadows for sure.

Any makeup that is only a dollar is likely to have substandard ingredients. I recommend Googling "the campaign for safe cosmetics." If this is made in China it is even more suspect. Don't poison yourself for beauty!

Well, I received a forwarded email from a lady in my office. The email said that E.L.F. cosmetics was bought out by another company and that all their excess products were being sold for $1. I jumped on that deal buying over $30 worth of make-up. It wasn't until after I ordered from them that I looked at reviews.
I found out that the company wasn't being bought out, and that the makeup is always sold for $1. "Ok, no big deal," I thought, "maybe it will still be good makeup." I continued to look over E.L.F. reviews. I found mixed reviews. Some praised E.L.F. products beyond none other, and some were the opposite. I decided to just wait and see for myself. Well, the makeup came and I agree with everyone else who are dissatisfied with E.L.F.
First of all, the makeup portions are TINY, the kind you would get for your daughter to play with. The eyeshadow wears off very easily. When I put the mascara on it was very thin. The eyelash curler did not work at all. The brushes are o.k. I could go on and on, but basically, everything sucked! I cannot understand how E.L.F. could have any good reviews. I assume that the only people leaving the good reviews are E.L.F. employees themselves.

I ordered products on the 10th of May. Today is the 28th of May, and my order still hasn't shipped. Thank goodness they didn't charge my card, but I have gone ahead and canceled. I realized that there are store around me that carry the products, so I won't be ordering ever again from the website. It just takes too too long.

I recently ordered ELF makeup. Everything I ordered I received all at one time. Took about 2 weeks maybe to get, which is ok. Containers are a bit smaller in size but for $1 Its a good deal. I have no problems or issues at all with ELF or their products. I will order from them again soon.
Thanks

DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM.
Srsly, they scammed me. I bought a bunch of make up three weeks ago, and they withdrew the exact amount ($15) from my debit card. I know because I checked online. They withdrew the amount about 4-5 hours after I placed the order.
Now three weeks later, I don't have the make up yet...and they sent me several e-mails telling me that they were shipping it right away and that my card wouldn't be charged until after the items were shipped. And the items just shipped and I just looked and they withdrew the same amount of money AGAIN. So I paid twice. And it overdrew my account at the bank, so I'm going to have to pay $30 in overdraft fees. So basically I'm paying $60 for $15 worth of make-up. I could have spent all of that on way better quality make up :(
They are so skeezy, really guys, I'm warning you, DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM.

Ok, so I saw the whole Nordstrum Post and bought it hook line and sinker. However, I did not order off the website. Thank God! I was at my local super market and saw and ELF display and loaded up! I have enjoyed all of the brushes I purchased and the eyeshadow. The lip conditioner is fine as long as you don't wear it out of the house, unless you like the white lipstick look! but wearing it at night has improved the softness of my lips. The eyeliner was ok, and the clear mascara and the dual wand black mascara were surprisingly good. So for not paying s&h or having my email screwed over, it was pretty good.

I've seen this stuff at the 99cent only stores! The display boards they have them on are really pretty. If you want to try this brand out, just go to one of those stores and buy a couple of products for the same price. then you don't have to pay for shipping!

I also ordered ELF due to a post in a forum claiming that Nordstroms was discontinuing their line. Unfortunatley, I did not do my homework prior to my order (because I trusted the poster), but only afterwards. I googled it and found the claim false. Feeling buyers remorse big time, I made myself feel better by typing in "elf cosmetics" on YouTube, and there were some helpful information from their costumers. Most of them were haul and reviews of their products - most of them good; the main complaints being the long shipping time and the occasional few missing items.
Well, I finally received my order 12 days after ordering (the longest I've ever had to wait for an online order) and my verdict is mixed. I ordered 5 of their lipglosses - pretty nice colors, but they tasted and smelled absolutely disgusting. I felt like I was putting melted plastic on my lips (promply into the trash can). Their blusher was nice and I was pleased with the blush brush. The cover stick was OK, but kind of pooled into the lines and pores of my face after a few hours. Their tweezer was kind of big and cut the hairs instead of properly plucking them. The bath products (coconut body lotion and pineapple hand soaps) lauded by other reviewers on the main ELF website, I had to throw in the garbage because they caused a throbbing headache, due to my fragrance sensitivity. All in all, I spent about $20, and ended up keeping only two items. Oh, and since my order, I have also been heavily spammed. I will not be ordering from them again.

Yes, I was one of the suckers who did not do their homework and fell for that fraudulent claim about its affiliation to Nordstrom. It is a lesson learned and I will be more cautious when I get another one of these emails. It is always a good idea to do your research before placing an order.

I too received the email from a friend explaining the repackaging info from Nordstroms, so for a great bargain I ordered $50 worth of stuff then my computer acted funny right after I processed the order which instantly made me feel uncomfortable, so I went on to Nordstrom''s website and searched elf and fraud information popped up, I immediately started stressing at the fact that I had just given out all of my personal information so foolishly. So I got onto ELF's website called their toll free number and "Jeni" answered and was able to pull up my information by my order number and cancelled it right away. While I was on the phone with her I got a order cancelled email confirming my credit card would not be charged. If this company is legit and rumors are just flying I feel bad for them, however if it is true, it just proves that are some pretty low people in this world. Hopefully this issue wont haunt me again.

I am not to sure about the ELF products yet, I did order after hearing the about Nordstroms before doing any research. I recieved my order yesterday & I placed the order about 10 days ago. I am satisfied with the products for the price so far, but I am scared to use any of the products. I read the back of the packaging to find the products are made in China, I am pregnant and do not want to chance that they contain any lead. I read the back of all my other cosmetics and they are made in the USA. I sent ElF an email and still am waiting for a response.

I ordered the following products from pinkdiscount.com ELF brand: Eye color, eyeliner, cover stick, and mineral Blush. I really like them and they seem like the quality of Mary Kay which is the brand I normally use.
As to the reviews I read about ELF using your e-mail to send out ads, I'm not surprised. Most companies that you purchase from do that, and I would say 8 out of the 10 companies I purchase from online did that to me, but thankfully I gave them an account that I have specifically for ordering things online.
When you sign up/ register to buy things in the privacy policy or terms and conditions it normally states in small writing that they will or have the right to use your e-mail to send out ads. When you mark "I agree" you are signing a contract stating you agree to all of the terms and conditions, and privacy policy that that website offers.
That is why when ever I register for something online I read through everything that they ask you to agree to, does this take more time than if I would push I agree, yes, but by reading through everything I know what the company is going to do with the information that I give them. For those of you who are asking is this legal the answer is YES, because you signed that contract when you pushed "I agree" if you don't agree push don't accept and the company can't use any information you gave them.
Sorry to burst people's bubbles, but the truth is ELF is not the only online site that will send e-mails to your contacts to advertise their product, there are many other sites that do the same thing. SO READ THE FINE PRINT!

Yesterday I ordered $75 worth of product after getting the email about Nordstroms buying the line and them selling everything for $1. I then forwarded my wonderful "find" on to many of my closest friends and relatives. Thank goodness one of them emailed me back with the information you can find on Nordstroms.com website by searching for elf.
HOWEVER: I want to say that this morning I called the toll free number on the ELF website and a real live customer service person answered my call almost immediately and I was able to cancel my order with no explanation needed.
TIP for people getting spammed with email: Don't ever use your main email address to order ANYTHING. Set up a special email - free - at gmail or hotmail, or wherever you want, and use it only for ordering things, getting newsletters, etc.

I, too, was worried after I placed my order. I had heard that e.l.f. screws you over for months, delays shipping, and that the makeup is awful. I received my large order 12 days after ordering it. Everything was there, everything was good, and I am very pleased. Some of the items (specifically the powder eyeshadow) is a little small for my taste, but it *was* one dollar, so I can't complain. I like everything so far. and just might be a repeat customer.

ELF being bought out was not a scam, bur rather just one of the many urban legends out there. I recently placed an order, received it within a week, love everything, and haven't had any problems. And I definitely have not seen an increase in my spam box since placing an order. I highly recommend ELF. Especially their formaldahyde free nail polish... I was paying $13 a bottle for this kind so I am thrilled to find it for only $1. Also, usually the animal friendly/cruelty free products are more expensive, so yet another financially good reason to buy ELF. I don't know how they keep their prices low, but I will continue to buy from them!

Don't buy from ELF, fraudulent activity. Nordstrom is NOT buying out ELF, it is a SCAM. You can't cancel or return orders, the customer service does not respond, the make up is cheap, and the orders are delayed. Some people are not getting their orders even after being charged on their credit card. Please call your credit card company to cancel and dispute your order right away.

Excellent! Have been researching all the brands for 2 months now, have tried them all. This is a good product and doesn't cost so much. I'm a 50 year old woman and times are a little tough right now, but I still want to look good! The other brands are too expensive, or they lock you into a payment plan every 60 days from your credit card. Who needs that? Trust me girls, this is good stuff. If your not happy with the brushes, you can find different ones at any makeup counter. K-Mart sells ELF!

I will say, they must had their products at Ross Dress For Less or Marshalls or some store of the sort. I bought some lotions too. Haha, on the back of the bottles were stickers they tried to cover up that you could read through. It had the infamous "Compare to $6.00" $2.99 price below it. Yeah so how old is the stuff and it doesn't even smell like Vanilla Coconut! We shall see how the rest of the stuff is. I hate the lip plumper..it tastes nasty!

Listen up. There is a rumor going around, especially amongst high school girls that this line is a Nordstrom product that is relabeled and remaining supplies are being sold of for a $1.00 on clearance. It is not a Nordstrom line nor has it ever been and it is a dime sto product that has always sold for a $1.00. Please beware of rumor being spread and if you choose to purchase remember you are paying exactly the value of the product and nothing more whether you like it or not! Please spread the word for the younger consumers. Buyer beware, "if it is too good to be true it probably is!"

I ordered on April 15th and received my products today. I haven't used them yet but they are what I ordered and they seem fine for the money. I received an email a few days ago indicating the high volume of orders and that my order would be delayed. I emailed customer service and asked for my shipping costs to be refunded for the inconvenience and I received a reply the next day stating that they would refund them. I haven't received the refund yet but will stay on top of that. So far, I am happy.

Maybe it's not the makeup your using that's the problem. People with dry skin tend to absorb their makeup a lot. You should put moistrurizer on before putting on makeup, let your skin absorb that first, so it won't absorb as much makeup.

Do NOT order from this company. They will hack your e-mail and spam all your friends. I used to be a loyal customer to E.L.F., but one day after creating an account on their website and ordering from them, I got a really weird mail in my inbox. It was a delivery failure notice. I have some old e-mail addresses in my address book that no longer work and I haven't bothered to clear out. The delivery failure was to one of these accounts, a friend that I hadn't talked to in probably 3 years. And soon after that, I got ANOTHER delivery failure notice about an e-mail to another friend that I hadn't talked to in years. Well, I knew I hadn't e-mailed these people. So I carefully examined the delivery failure notice and it said that the e-mail I sent was entitled"a gift from the mcmartins." Ok, so my mom is on my e-mail list and I asked her if she had gotten an e-mail with that title from me. She said yes, and that it was an ad from E.L.F. I had her forward it to me and sure enough, that's what it was. Basically, what E.L.F. did was hack into my e-mail account to send out ads to everyone in my address book. These ads looked like e-mails directly from me. They were sent from my account and the reply mail was listed as my e-mail. Naturally, I was really upset and called E.L.F. corporate offices. They admitted that it happened, but said it was an IT "mistake". I told them I wanted a full explanation in writing as to what happened, why this happened, and who was responsible. Of course, they did nothing. Its been four months and I am STILL trying to find out who was responsible for hacking my e-mail and E.L.F absolutely will not cooperate. They are completely responsible, but refuse to connect me to the IT department when I call or give me the name of anyone in that department who I can contact. So don't ever order from this company unless you want E.L.F. to have complete access to your e-mail, your friends e-mails and ALL of your personal information. Right now, they still can hack into my account anytime and I would never know. I wouldn't have known the first time if I hadn't gotten the delivery failure notice. And the worst thing about this is, the company won't make it right.

I ordered about $40 worth of elf cosmetics. I ordered on a tuesday and received my box 10 days later. Nothing was missing. All of the products were full size, and exactly as described. The colors are awesome, the smell is great and for the price, you can't beat this deal. The only item i was not pleased with was the Luscious Liquid Lipstick. It made my lips sting and I'm not sure why, as it isn't supposed to be a "plumping" lipstick. everything else was great. i LOVE the coconut/vanilla body set. smells wonderful. Definitely will order from them again.

I usually buy all my make-up at Sephora and spend quite a bit on it. However, I had bought a $1 ELF brush at drugstore.com to spend enough to get free shipping and it was pretty good, so I decided to check out elf.com. I bought the neutral eye set, a kabuki brush, an eyelash brush, eye shadow, two nail polishes (fair pink is just like Essie Ballet Slippers!), and clear mascara/eyebrow gel. It was so cheap with a 50% off coupon code plus I got 2 free lipglosses that come on this little string to hook to something. Honestly, it is all pretty good. I'm particularly happy with the brushes (much cheaper than Bare Minerals kabuki brushes). It all goes on well, smells fine, and the colors I chose are nice for daytime. Shipping was about 7-10 days. Highly recommend!

I ordered a few E.L.F. products back in 2006 and received the products in about a month. I mean it wasn't much to complain about because I wasn't losing much so I waited. When I did receive the products they forgot one thing and I sent an email. They did send an apology letter and included $5 towards my next purchase. 2 weeks later I did in fact receive my missing product. As for customer service, I personally felt they were very accommodating.
My mom really liked their lip gloss, however, I didn't care for the smell. I personally really liked their concealer. I feel that their best products would have to be their brushes. They are a decent quality for $1, how can you really complain?
I have ordered from them one other time, but I'm not big on ordering stuff online. Either try the product, it's only $1 or just go with what you know and works for you.

I have ordered from ELF about 3 times now, I love their eyeshadows! Fun fun colors! I love the "shy" blush... And of course the lip gloss. They have always delivered way fast to me... which is nice. My favorite thing is the all in one color stick, i use it on my eyes, and it is awesome... Goes on fast, and stays on all day for me. I still don't buy my foundation, mascara, or eye liner from them, there are only certain things I trust for only $1... But $1 eyeshadow, blush, and lip gloss, you can't go wrong!

I got my order today, and so far, I like them all. I got the mineral starter set, and when I tried it, I definitely saw a difference. I didn't mind the plumping lip gloss smell at all, and so far, so good. I read all of the reviews below. Man, I feel really sorry for them, but I think they have gotten better at customer service and everything else. :)

OMG this stuff sucks. I have never wore makeup that was so crappy before, except for kids makeup when I was child. The eyeliner peels off! The only thing I didn't mind was the lip gloss. Even the mascara would smudge, I would have raccoon eyes without the tears! I ended up going to a department store to repurchase real makeup! The eyeshadow also wore off easily. I did not like the foundation either, the colors did not work well with my skin tone. The brushes are nice, but I wouldn't use most of them. Sorry, I hate to leave bad reviews but this makeup was really, really bad. You certainly do get what you pay for.

I ordered some ELF makeup a while back, and it's pretty good for the price. I strongly recommend buying the brushes, they're good quality for WAY cheaper then you could get in a store.
The waterproof liquid eyeliner stayed on through my entire swim tournament and never even smeared onto my goggles. I swear by that stuff.The lip gloss was too sticky for my taste. The 3-in-1 cream blushes were lovely, although I'm sure they are horrible for my skin.

I received my order today. Everything came. the mascara though I didn't really like, but for a dollar I guess you get what you paid for it. The no crease eyeshadow DEFINITELY creases about 2 hours after wearing it. The lip gloss is very thin so you have to apply a lot of coats. But you get what you paid for. The foundation though works wonders and I liked it. The website is extremely slow though. And it took one full hour for my order to go through from the "click to confirm order" to the next page. And I have cable modem.

I ordered about 5 things off of them just to test and see how they were. The quality was ok, and I think the delivery time was all right, about 2 weeks to receive. I didn't like the mascara very much...it seemed like the brush was too small and the formula made my lashes seem spiky. Brushes are good for the money, blush is ok...If you want to try it, I would suggest doing a small order first and see how you like it before going all out and regretting it. In my case,( I think I prefer buying mine at the store such as Wal-mart or similar. I have read many things about cosmetics in a high brow department store being no better than what you buy at discount stores. I personally find that to be true. )

I love ELF cosmetics. I bought several items from K-Mart. The makeup smells delish (like fruits and other yummy food) and the blush & bronzer looks natural while there are more dramatic products like the eyeshadow "drama". The makeup is an amazing value and great quality. I liked the products I bought better than my clinique, especially at that price! I love that the product comes in small portions. I could go on and on abt what I love abt this company, but really, BUY SOME! What risk is there? Go to K-mart and pick a few items...spend a couple dollars. Give it a try! I guarantee you will be pleasantly surprised. Visit my blog http://www.chicbeautyandfashion.com or just my ELF post @ http://www.chicbeautyandfashion.com/elf-not-the-short-pointy-eared-kind/
