We all know e.l.f. cosmetics for delivering super pocket friendly products – even strict critic Jeffree Star approves! But aside for bagging coveted positions in the industry (remember the Camo Concealer?), the brand just did something unexpected. They brought out the skincare guns.
MEET THE SUPERS
Titled “The Supers”, e.l.f. cosmetics launched four newbies. They all come in pastel coloured packaging and include the items you require for your entire regimen. Start to finish. And true to the brand, they’re all immensely affordable.
