I have noticed that with the baked highlighters it's really really hard to tell when they hard pan. Use a piece of scotch tape and lay it down over the top of the product and then rub your finger over the tape. It wastes less product than scraping it with another tool. :)
Savannah Smoak OMG its 1 am but i got up and tried this anyways because I had to see if it worked. HOLY CRAP. It totally saved the product for me. the swatch is completely different now. Thanks so much!
Hope you have all are having/have had an AMAZING holiday! I've missed you all & am excited to have one more week of a break from teaching to edit, upload, & film videos! :)
Megan Pratt I think she said it out of concern for her health and not in a picky, rude way. I would want someone to tell me if I had a suspicious mole because certain forms of skin cancer are deadly.
You can also use a little setting spray (mac fix+ or a dupe) and it really helps. then just blend it out with a dry brush or your beauty blender. kinda makes it into a liquid.
Ok please don't hate me cause this is a compliment but you would look so pretty and sexy dressed a a woman vampire at Halloween. Beautiful look you have on here in this video!!
Just a fun fact: with ELF Velvet Matte lipsticks, you can pop off the bottom of the lipstick and it has a small 'pot' of gloss in that exact shade. It also tastes minty!
I recently discovered that the Elf Lipsticks that have the black bullet with shade of lipstick shown in a clear bottom actually pops off and has gloss in it!!
I don't care for the HD setting powder BUT... I discovered the elf LUMINOUS setting powder. One word, BEAUTIFUL! I found mine at Target. It originally came in the same bulky container but recently has been repackaged in a clear container with a silver cover. Give it a try if you haven't already. I think you'll really like it.
Elf highlighter has a hard layer on top. You have to break it first. Also apply it with dense brush with shorter bristles, I use RT expert face brush or elf contouring (flat) and it goes on nicely.
I always think ELF products seem like a good idea & I have bought loads over the years but when I look at my collection the number of items I've actually kept & use I can count on one hand. So for me spending a couple bucks on a just OK product that I'll later toss isn't saving any money in the end. To me this brand would be best for younger girls (or boys) that want a lot of products to play with or for someone who doesn't wear that much makeup & only needs a few staples for the rare occasion.
Darcy E I love their eyelash curler too! I recently splurged on buying the Japonesque power curl lash curler based on the good reviews but it performs the exact same as the elf one. I think I even prefer the Elf one more! Happy Holidays!
Jess did you know that the lipsticks you showed at 21:45, the bottom of them come off and it is a lipgloss?!? I didn't know that till I dropped it and it came off.
Maura Beach Idk what it's really used for. I use it to do small touch ups or if my friends need lipstick I let them use that. And I use the exfoliator one for the protection she was talking about when the scrub part gets rough on my lips.
sarahsarabara It's more of the same product inside the tube. Somebody said it's meant for swatching but I think you can use a lip brush to apply it too.
Use a goat hair brush for baked bronzer and you have to get past the 1st layer. I kinda scrapped it off. They r beautiful and worth the trouble for the low price.
i had the same problem with elf's baked highlighter in pinktastic and saw the people commenting on this saying to scratch the top layer off and it totally worked! thanks guys 😘
She is the nicest person!!! I love how she's honest about products but in the sweetest way.. very easy to watch. I feel like sometimes makeup reviews are so harsh and negative. I think she's my new fav!!!
Jessica, I also have a problem with the baked highlighters. I read on line it should be applied with a wet brush. Haven't tried it cause I got mad and threw it in the bottom of my makeup drawer. Thanks so much for sharing and Happy New Year!
Mimi Freda I use the elf small stippling brush with the baked highlight but you really need to dig the brush in and swirl it around but once you do it looks so beautiful on the skin! Hope that was helpful !!
The blush in Blushing Rose is also gorgeous. If I'm not mistaken it's a dupe for a thebalm shade. I have so many Elf products and love everyone of them. yes, they have some flops like their mascaras but overall they have so many wonderful things. Their blush palettes are so freaking good and pigmented!! You must use a light hand but they're great. You can mix them to help tone them down. i also like the hydrating primer for dry skin.
I love how you admit you love some of the products more than high end products, i feel like beauty bloggers are afraif to do that and its comforting how honest you are
Jessica, try the Nivea cold cream (it's in the blue tin). It's good for cracked feet, elbows and knees, but I have been using this as my main moisturizer day & night for many years. I have it in 250ml & 400ml tubs. I am *extremely* dry, though. It might be too oily if you're not quite that dry, and a little goes a *long* way, but it's not expensive, and you can get it in a small size (to try).
I love ELF, they have some of the best drugstore beauty products ever. I haven't ordered from them in a long time, I see there's a few new things. i'm glad you shared this video.
I ran out and got the Mattifying Balm after this video, and I love it! I tried it on my oily nose and I don't need to blot all day -- wow! I like that I can wear it over my makeup and use it for touch-ups. Thanks!
@Jessica Braun...if your baked products are not working well, try rubbing a cotton ball over the product a few times. Sometimes there is a top layer (not sure of the formal term) that I have to rub off to get it to lay down well.
I have their baked blush in Pinktastic, which is more like a highlighter, and it shows up super well! I apply with my finger, not my brush, though. Their baked eyeshadows make my so happy, too.
One tip I would have for ALL the ELF baked products (especially the highlighters) - they have a "crust" on the outside that once you remove, reveals this super silky formula below. It's almost like they bake them too long and the outside is too hard. Take a tissue and stand over your trash can and rub off the top layer. Rub kind of hard and really remove a decent amount. Swatch the product before and after you do that and you'll be blown away.
Yay you clapped. I know you said you were trying to stop but it's you and we love Jessica. So happy with your reviews. They're so relevant and your descriptions are real life.
Okay so I got the swisspers mini blending sponges at Walmart for about $2 or $3 for a pack of 2 and I think they're nice, you should give them a shot, but I'd like to see you maybe compare those and some other versions of it to a BB micro mini to see if I'm actually missing out, if there's better ones, or if I should splurge on the BBs. I still haven't splurged on the original BB but I'm thinking about finally making the jump after I get through the 3 brand new real techniques ones I got for Christmas.
Maura Beach honestly I just bought my first beauty blender from Macy's because I got a gift card and I don't typically shop there, so I was like hey why not just try it.. I still use my real techniques and Morphe sponge more.. I don't get the hype
I love your videos, Jessica! The best and worst of brands videos are so helpful and act as a guideline for those who can't buy every product to know what works best. For the molten liquid eye shadows though, the rose gold is my favourite eye shadow ever. It's beautiful, easy and blends well with my other eye shadows. I also find it wears well if I'm wearing it all day, doesn't crease or anything. It's my go to for every day looks!
Elf is one of my favorite brands. Their velvet lipstick isnt super long lasting but are super pretty and I JUST bought the one youre wearing about a month ago. I was so excited to see their new formula because its a nice deep, rich color but it also has a sparkle to it.
The smudge pots are HG... they make great eye primer! I want to try the contour palette. I wish they'd release a cooler tone blush palette. ✌🏽 your vids rule⚜️
I like taking the Illuminating Palette with the NYX Bright Idea highlighting stick in Chardonnay Shimmer and combining them. I apply the NYX on my face by lightly, almost coloring it on my skin. I pat it out some with a sponge and I use the Elf and go right back over it with the lightest shade in the Illuminating Palette. I LOVE IT.
on the bakes products, you have to almost scrape the top layer of the product off and the pigmentation is amazing. I just use the end of a brush and rub it off and it's amazing!
I was just about to post this exact comment to warn people haha. I wore for my family's christmas dinner and my under eyes had such horrible flashback in the photos I never realised until then :/
I really like Elf brushes and I think that highlight brush is my favorite! I have that same shirt from Target that you're wearing! Looks really cute on you 👍🏼
Jen Redmond you guys I found a dupe for sure today. The Japonesque came out with sponges and I've bought over 15 different ones from different companies and the only thing that was even close to the beauty blender was the RT one. Well I found something even better then the RT sponge. You get 2 for 18.00 and it's the same exact thing. I'm nit even kidding.
Amanda hopwood - Sassy Fitness that or it's always sold out 😭 I just use the website and a lot of the time if you spend more than 25 it's free ship lol
Hey Jessica! With the blush gems baked highlighter you need to take a sharp object and dig at it a little bit. For some reason once you do that its much more pigmented. Hope this helps!
I literally just bought so so many Elf products to do a review on them :D We don't get all of the products in Australia but I'm pretty sure I can order them online.
Hanna Pramholt try ordering through iherb they have super cheap international shipping and they have real techniques brushes too. A $40 order costs me $6
Wow I’ve been binge watching your channel today and have it on auto play! Your makeup, hair and overall presentation is so flattering in this video! Same adorable personality and presentation of the content.
I totally agree with your elf baked products review! I have even tried rubbing the product directly on my cheek, and scratching it to get it on my brush... no luck. Glad to hear I am not alone. I do love elf products and recommend them to friends and family. I watch your videos over and over. Thanks keep up the good work!
Jessica, I found that if you stick the lip exfoliator in the fridge between uses (we have one in our bedroom right next to my vanity), it doesn't "get weird" at the end of the stick. Thanks for the video! I adore e.l.f. and wish they had more of their newer products in local stores. Even though I love our UPS guy and mail man, it's torture waiting for my order to arrive!
I have only recently discovered your channel and its now my absolute favourite! I love your voice, mannerisms, how you explain stuff! You are a real person who loves makeup and I applaud you for that! So sick of watching channels with disingenuous people just trying to be too slick! Thank you xxx
Dawn Marie Reardon You might have heard this before but try scraping the top off. The baked products have a film on top. Underneath it's softer and more pigmented.
So many good ideas! I love the ELF brushes too. I have 2 small stipple, one flat-top powder, angled and regular blush brushes, and a small concealer brush which is a small blending or small highlighter brush. The peachy- brown shade in the contour palette is a great eyeshadow. It's been my go-to for a one-shadow look.
I love the illuminating palette! It gives you an amazing subtle glow. I also love their contour palette. I must have gotten a bad batch as well of blushing Jews because it just doesn't do anything.
I LOVE the Elf baked highlighter in blush gems!!!!! It's my favorite highlighter! I use it everytime I do my makeup.. I had trouble with the application at first too, but what I ended up doing was playing with it and the best way to get it to work properly is to get a make up brush and use the pointed hard tip of it to break up the highlighter slightly. Once it creates a powder try it out then. It works AMAZINGLY!! Don't give up on it yet!
I have all the exfoliators, even their new flavors, Coconut and Grapefruit. They are fantastic. I go straight on my lips after cleansing my face and before or after makeup, its fantastic!!! Dont be afraid to use it, just scrub scrub scrub
I stopped painting my nails to comment--- I love that you are a beauty guru that doesn't just say "I like this because it's really really pretty" it seems like you actually know other adjectives lmao New sub, glad to be here!
scrape off the top layer of elf baked products to get true pigment!
Ruth Ramirez thanks!
Ruth Ramirez so true. I always do that when I get new elf baked products
Ruth Ramirez I have loved mine from get go but I've had to do that with other products, that highlight really is beautiful.
Ruth Ramirez I did that but it didn't work still 😟
I have noticed that with the baked highlighters it's really really hard to tell when they hard pan. Use a piece of scotch tape and lay it down over the top of the product and then rub your finger over the tape. It wastes less product than scraping it with another tool. :)
for the baked highlighters, you have to scrape the top layer off and then it will be beautiful!!
Savannah Smoak Thanks for the comment! Holy crap my highlighter looks so different now lol. Yay!!
Connie Claxton your welcome :)
Savannah Smoak OMG its 1 am but i got up and tried this anyways because I had to see if it worked. HOLY CRAP. It totally saved the product for me. the swatch is completely different now. Thanks so much!
Shari Dillon your welcome!
Savannah Smoak I have one and I had the same problem with it- how would you suggest scraping it off?
Try scrapping off the top layer of the elf baked highlighter. I have the elf baked highlighter in moonlight , and it work wonderfully
Warda Azhar yes!! I attack mine with a spooly!
Warda Azhar yes, or wet the brush!
Emily R. Fontanez is
Hope you have all are having/have had an AMAZING holiday! I've missed you all & am excited to have one more week of a break from teaching to edit, upload, & film videos! :)
Jessica Braun | JAMbeauty89 I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas too !! Love ya Jess !!! ❤
THANK YOU!! I just uploaded to my new channel the ELF Mad For Matte Palette! :)
Jessica Braun | JAMbeauty89 plz do a what I got for Christmas and makeup collection
catsIview who says that?
Megan Pratt I think she said it out of concern for her health and not in a picky, rude way. I would want someone to tell me if I had a suspicious mole because certain forms of skin cancer are deadly.
I had the same issues with the baked highlighters.. so I took a rag and scrubbed off the top layer and thst helped a lot.. It made a huge difference.
You can also use a little setting spray (mac fix+ or a dupe) and it really helps. then just blend it out with a dry brush or your beauty blender. kinda makes it into a liquid.
Carlie Morgan yes but who wants to put it on just to take a cloth and scrub some off? Too much work to make a product work.
Ok please don't hate me cause this is a compliment but you would look so pretty and sexy dressed a a woman vampire at Halloween. Beautiful look you have on here in this video!!
For the first layer I took a paper towel and scraped the top layer off and now it's my fave highlighter. I reach for it more than my Becca one.
I got a dud of the elf baked highlighter
I scraped off the top and now it works perfectly
sana saeed same
sana saeed Yes, I just watched another video where the girl said this and my mind was blown... I was just about to toss it
sana saeed
yes! this totally works!
moonlight pearls is now my favorite highlighter.
sana saeed same here!
All the baked products the first few layers suck once you get through it they are amazing
Tip! If you're super pale like me, the mineral pearls make a gorgeous subtle bronzer x
Arna Alayne hye Arna!! :P
Arna Alayne I️ just looked at your channel and you are so pretty.
Elf is so underrated! There brushes are very good
I hated the baked products too! I just read all the comments here and went to scrape the top off my blush... its soooooo much softer now!
Heidi Pritchard Beauty... Hi! What did you use to scrape it off? 😊
Just a fun fact: with ELF Velvet Matte lipsticks, you can pop off the bottom of the lipstick and it has a small 'pot' of gloss in that exact shade. It also tastes minty!
YES! A 30 minute long video from Jessica about elf 😍😍
This just made my day 😊💜
I recently discovered that the Elf Lipsticks that have the black bullet with shade of lipstick shown in a clear bottom actually pops off and has gloss in it!!
I don't care for the HD setting powder BUT... I discovered the elf LUMINOUS setting powder. One word, BEAUTIFUL! I found mine at Target. It originally came in the same bulky container but recently has been repackaged in a clear container with a silver cover. Give it a try if you haven't already. I think you'll really like it.
Elf highlighter has a hard layer on top. You have to break it first. Also apply it with dense brush with shorter bristles, I use RT expert face brush or elf contouring (flat) and it goes on nicely.
omg you look soooooo different right now!!!! would be cool if you did a video on an old look and see how you like it now.
I always think ELF products seem like a good idea & I have bought loads over the years but when I look at my collection the number of items I've actually kept & use I can count on one hand. So for me spending a couple bucks on a just OK product that I'll later toss isn't saving any money in the end. To me this brand would be best for younger girls (or boys) that want a lot of products to play with or for someone who doesn't wear that much makeup & only needs a few staples for the rare occasion.
which products did you like?
I love elf I purchased a eye lash curler from them for $1 at Big Lots and it's awesome doesn't pinch your inner eyelids.
Darcy E I love their eyelash curler too! I recently splurged on buying the Japonesque power curl lash curler based on the good reviews but it performs the exact same as the elf one. I think I even prefer the Elf one more! Happy Holidays!
Momo Cool yeah I wanted the Tarte one cause heard good things but saw this one figured I'd give it a try glad I did.
Oh and Happy Holidays to you as well :)
That's where I got mine!
Jess did you know that the lipsticks you showed at 21:45, the bottom of them come off and it is a lipgloss?!? I didn't know that till I dropped it and it came off.
The lipstick you had on!
Stèphanie 1024 so does the exfoliator
Omg! I knew that about the lipsticks but not the exfoliator. How cool :D
Stèphanie 1024 it's not a gloss its the same lipstick in the tube but I think it's made to be able to be swatched in store.
Maura Beach Idk what it's really used for. I use it to do small touch ups or if my friends need lipstick I let them use that. And I use the exfoliator one for the protection she was talking about when the scrub part gets rough on my lips.
Binge watching some oldies. 4 years later I came to comment Jessica you still look 🔥🔥🔥
Fun tip- Try popping off the bottom clear part on the bottom of their hydrating lipsticks😆
I saw a video about that recently and immediately tried it out. It was a nice surprise lol.
Kathryn Webb Same:))
I had to go try that with my lip exfoliator and I was so surprised to find out about that
Ella Blake what is there?
sarahsarabara It's more of the same product inside the tube. Somebody said it's meant for swatching but I think you can use a lip brush to apply it too.
Just an FYI, your wedding Mickey and Minnie is close to the edge of your storage shelf. Don't want it to fall!
I think it's the blush in pinktastic that they compare to the soft and gentle...
Amy Clements It is
Amy Clements exactly! It's very good but not as good as Mac
Amy Clements I have Soft & Gentle and Blush Gems and when I swatch them, you can tell they're dupes.
those baked hightlighters have this layer on top of them. i rubbed them for a few times and its absolutely wonderful!
She looks like Kathleenlights ! You are both beautiful!!!! I love your video!!
People who are suffering with the highlighters: Try scraping the top thin layer and you'll get the pigment
Use a goat hair brush for baked bronzer and you have to get past the 1st layer. I kinda scrapped it off. They r beautiful and worth the trouble for the low price.
i had the same problem with elf's baked highlighter in pinktastic and saw the people commenting on this saying to scratch the top layer off and it totally worked! thanks guys 😘
She is the nicest person!!! I love how she's honest about products but in the sweetest way.. very easy to watch. I feel like sometimes makeup reviews are so harsh and negative. I think she's my new fav!!!
Jessica, I also have a problem with the baked highlighters. I read on line it should be applied with a wet brush. Haven't tried it cause I got mad and threw it in the bottom of my makeup drawer. Thanks so much for sharing and Happy New Year!
Mimi Freda scrape the top layer and you'll get the best results of your baked highlighter
Mimi Freda I use the elf small stippling brush with the baked highlight but you really need to dig the brush in and swirl it around but once you do it looks so beautiful on the skin! Hope that was helpful !!
Hi! When I use the baked highlighting powders with a spray. Like I spray my brush and the highlighter and brush on. It works much better that way.
The blush in Blushing Rose is also gorgeous. If I'm not mistaken it's a dupe for a thebalm shade. I have so many Elf products and love everyone of them. yes, they have some flops like their mascaras but overall they have so many wonderful things. Their blush palettes are so freaking good and pigmented!! You must use a light hand but they're great. You can mix them to help tone them down. i also like the hydrating primer for dry skin.
I love how you admit you love some of the products more than high end products, i feel like beauty bloggers are afraif to do that and its comforting how honest you are
Heyyy! Scrape off the top layer of the baked highlighter and then it will be nice pigmented and buttery!💞
Jessica, try scratching the surface of the baked highlights. The formula is better in the middle.
Jessica, try the Nivea cold cream (it's in the blue tin). It's good for cracked feet, elbows and knees, but I have been using this as my main moisturizer day & night for many years. I have it in 250ml & 400ml tubs. I am *extremely* dry, though. It might be too oily if you're not quite that dry, and a little goes a *long* way, but it's not expensive, and you can get it in a small size (to try).
Try scraping off the top layer of the highlighter! That seemed to do the trick for mine.
I had the same problem with my E.L.F. baked highlighter, but I found that when you wet it, you get a much better color pay off and it works great!!
I'm OBSESSED with ELF! Most of my makeup is from them but I love the hydrating bubble mask and the Need It Nude eyeshadow palette
I love ELF, they have some of the best drugstore beauty products ever. I haven't ordered from them in a long time, I see there's a few new things. i'm glad you shared this video.
I got so excited when I saw the title lol. I love Elf! They're also the reason I found your channel :) Happy holidays, Jessica!
I ran out and got the Mattifying Balm after this video, and I love it! I tried it on my oily nose and I don't need to blot all day -- wow! I like that I can wear it over my makeup and use it for touch-ups. Thanks!
The fact that you were wearing black in this video, & you were shaking that Elf loose powder without the cap on was giving me so much anxiety. Lol.
YES! I just picked up that foundation out of desperation one time and it's been holy grail status ever since!
The aqua line is now available in stores at target!
On the black tube lipsticks with the clear bottom, you can pop the bottom off and there's a balm/gloss in there!
the elf flawless finish foundation is so amazing except for the color. Their porcelain is literally a contour shade on me. It's yellowy beige gray
@Jessica Braun...if your baked products are not working well, try rubbing a cotton ball over the product a few times. Sometimes there is a top layer (not sure of the formal term) that I have to rub off to get it to lay down well.
This was super helpful! Elf has so many new products now versus a few years ago.
I have their baked blush in Pinktastic, which is more like a highlighter, and it shows up super well! I apply with my finger, not my brush, though.
Their baked eyeshadows make my so happy, too.
You are slaying!! I love that shirt and lip color on you !!
Cecilia Padilla absolutely!
Cecilia Padilla yes both suit her so well!!😍😍😊
Catwoman.. she's looks sexy like her
The hydrating primer and the Hydrating Under Eye Primer are excellent!
Jessica on the bottom of the lip exfoliator is a lip balm... you just have to open the lid
Andrea Mayagoitia how did you get it open?! I tried for a solid ten minutes and it would not open?
Megan Darveau I had to use my teeth to pop open
CarmenDee Almonte Take it from me, never use your teeth for things like that. I have porcelain veneers and I broke one of them by doing just that.
+abeautifulmess 36 I use my teeth all the time as tools, it's fine. Veneers aren't teeth so you cant use them :(
I found no balm in mine.
One tip I would have for ALL the ELF baked products (especially the highlighters) - they have a "crust" on the outside that once you remove, reveals this super silky formula below. It's almost like they bake them too long and the outside is too hard. Take a tissue and stand over your trash can and rub off the top layer. Rub kind of hard and really remove a decent amount. Swatch the product before and after you do that and you'll be blown away.
elf brushes are amazing! I just finished panning my contour palette.
can you do a tutorial on the look you have on????its so awesome❤❤❤
Hit up target in Xmas clearance. They have sets from elf on sale for 1 to 3 bucks
Yay you clapped. I know you said you were trying to stop but it's you and we love Jessica. So happy with your reviews. They're so relevant and your descriptions are real life.
Okay so I got the swisspers mini blending sponges at Walmart for about $2 or $3 for a pack of 2 and I think they're nice, you should give them a shot, but I'd like to see you maybe compare those and some other versions of it to a BB micro mini to see if I'm actually missing out, if there's better ones, or if I should splurge on the BBs. I still haven't splurged on the original BB but I'm thinking about finally making the jump after I get through the 3 brand new real techniques ones I got for Christmas.
Maura Beach honestly I just bought my first beauty blender from Macy's because I got a gift card and I don't typically shop there, so I was like hey why not just try it.. I still use my real techniques and Morphe sponge more.. I don't get the hype
Maura Beach I grabbed those a couple months back on a whim and I'm so glad I did! They're perfect!
I love your videos, Jessica! The best and worst of brands videos are so helpful and act as a guideline for those who can't buy every product to know what works best. For the molten liquid eye shadows though, the rose gold is my favourite eye shadow ever. It's beautiful, easy and blends well with my other eye shadows. I also find it wears well if I'm wearing it all day, doesn't crease or anything. It's my go to for every day looks!
I love ELF products!
Elf is one of my favorite brands. Their velvet lipstick isnt super long lasting but are super pretty and I JUST bought the one youre wearing about a month ago. I was so excited to see their new formula because its a nice deep, rich color but it also has a sparkle to it.
The smudge pots are HG... they make great eye primer! I want to try the contour palette. I wish they'd release a cooler tone blush palette. ✌🏽 your vids rule⚜️
OMG! That Real Techniques sponge is so awesome!!!!!
I had the same problem with the baked highlighters.
Nikita and Baby
scratch the top layer off and it will work awesome
I like taking the Illuminating Palette with the NYX Bright Idea highlighting stick in Chardonnay Shimmer and combining them.
I apply the NYX on my face by lightly, almost coloring it on my skin. I pat it out some with a sponge and I use the Elf and go right back over it with the lightest shade in the Illuminating Palette. I LOVE IT.
OMG I have the same problem with my baked highlighter!! I've seen swatches, so I tried it and it barely comes off!!
Julie Zwyer try scraping the top layer off with a dry washcloth :)
on the bakes products, you have to almost scrape the top layer of the product off and the pigmentation is amazing. I just use the end of a brush and rub it off and it's amazing!
I use to use the ELF Sheer loose powder and its great, but it gives horrible flashback in pictures. If you can look past that I would buy it.
I was just about to post this exact comment to warn people haha. I wore for my family's christmas dinner and my under eyes had such horrible flashback in the photos I never realised until then :/
Mary Lu same! If you look at it in the sun it has tiny glitter in it.
If you spray your brush for the baked bronzer and highlighter they work awesome.
This would've been useful yesterday when the website was 50% off....
Ikr!! I just made that order last night. Hope I love it all
aukluk I had no idea they had this sale :/
Shinel add yourself to elf email list and they will send you an email when they have the 50% off!!!
LeeAnn Mcclintic ok, thank you
aukluk they are still on sale
I really like Elf brushes and I think that highlight brush is my favorite!
I have that same shirt from Target that you're wearing! Looks really cute on you 👍🏼
I heard the Ulta beauty sponge is exactly like the beauty blender
Anneke Donnamaria I disagree. I've used the ulta one and do not like it at all. I do love the real techniques sponge which is like $5
(Jen) that's funny. Good to hears tho. Lol
Yes! RT sponges are amazing.
Jen Redmond you guys I found a dupe for sure today. The Japonesque came out with sponges and I've bought over 15 different ones from different companies and the only thing that was even close to the beauty blender was the RT one. Well I found something even better then the RT sponge. You get 2 for 18.00 and it's the same exact thing. I'm nit even kidding.
the ulta sponges are good but they are not like the beauty blender at all. I love the size though
Absolutely in love with your lip color and top! Do try their lip color remover! Works MIRACLES.
My stores must suck!!! I can never find this many types of elf products!
Amanda hopwood - Sassy Fitness ELF has free shipping on the site frequently and always free over $25 .
I have to get some of these online for the same reasons. I usually get elf at Ulta but Ive heard they have great sales on the elf site.
Amanda hopwood - Sassy Fitness that or it's always sold out 😭 I just use the website and a lot of the time if you spend more than 25 it's free ship lol
there isn't' even a elf in my whole city lol
go to target
E.l.f actually took the glitter out of the under eye setting Powder and now it's very similar to rcma powder. I love it.
Me and muy bestfriends scrapped that baked highlight a Little and its more pigmented,I heard some girls so that top
Hey Jessica!
With the blush gems baked highlighter you need to take a sharp object and dig at it a little bit. For some reason once you do that its much more pigmented. Hope this helps!
e.l.f. has a total of 6 flavors now of the lip exfoliator. Rose, Coconut, and Grapefruit, I think.
The original in brown sugar is the best, most gritty!
Cheri Coffman I have Cherry. I've also seen Mint and Brown Sugar. They are AMAZING. So convenient, easy, and hella effective.
Scrape the top layer off of the baked highlight and baked bronzer and it works like magic!!! I love mine but I had to scrape it a little.
I literally just bought so so many Elf products to do a review on them :D We don't get all of the products in Australia but I'm pretty sure I can order them online.
Hanna Pramholt try ordering through iherb they have super cheap international shipping and they have real techniques brushes too. A $40 order costs me $6

Wow I’ve been binge watching your channel today and have it on auto play! Your makeup, hair and overall presentation is so flattering in this video! Same adorable personality and presentation of the content.
omgg!!! you are so gorgeous in this video! love it!!💕
I totally agree with your elf baked products review! I have even tried rubbing the product directly on my cheek, and scratching it to get it on my brush... no luck. Glad to hear I am not alone. I do love elf products and recommend them to friends and family. I watch your videos over and over. Thanks keep up the good work!
Hi Jessica! Big fan from Houston, Texas !! I miss you saying "Let's go ahead and get into it"!! I love that !!! 💄❤️️😘
Jessica, I found that if you stick the lip exfoliator in the fridge between uses (we have one in our bedroom right next to my vanity), it doesn't "get weird" at the end of the stick. Thanks for the video! I adore e.l.f. and wish they had more of their newer products in local stores. Even though I love our UPS guy and mail man, it's torture waiting for my order to arrive!
love the lip color❤️ you are definitely one of my favorite beauty channel love you so much always keep making vidoes
I have only recently discovered your channel and its now my absolute favourite! I love your voice, mannerisms, how you explain stuff! You are a real person who loves makeup and I applaud you for that! So sick of watching channels with disingenuous people just trying to be too slick! Thank you xxx
I feel the same way about the baked highlighter
Dawn Marie Reardon You might have heard this before but try scraping the top off. The baked products have a film on top. Underneath it's softer and more pigmented.
So many good ideas! I love the ELF brushes too. I have 2 small stipple, one flat-top powder, angled and regular blush brushes, and a small concealer brush which is a small blending or small highlighter brush. The peachy- brown shade in the contour palette is a great eyeshadow. It's been my go-to for a one-shadow look.
I love ELF they are so nice and cheap, thanks for making this
For the baked highlight and bronzer if you don't want to scrape the top just slightly damp your brush and it works perfectly.
I love elf!!!! I love this video 😊
I love the illuminating palette! It gives you an amazing subtle glow. I also love their contour palette. I must have gotten a bad batch as well of blushing Jews because it just doesn't do anything.
This looks reminds me of a modern morticia Addams. In a good way
I LOVE the Elf baked highlighter in blush gems!!!!! It's my favorite highlighter! I use it everytime I do my makeup.. I had trouble with the application at first too, but what I ended up doing was playing with it and the best way to get it to work properly is to get a make up brush and use the pointed hard tip of it to break up the highlighter slightly. Once it creates a powder try it out then. It works AMAZINGLY!! Don't give up on it yet!
Damn i found you and I can't stop watching. let me sleep Jessica!! 😜
I have all the exfoliators, even their new flavors, Coconut and Grapefruit. They are fantastic. I go straight on my lips after cleansing my face and before or after makeup, its fantastic!!! Dont be afraid to use it, just scrub scrub scrub
Erica Alvarado I know there so amazing & affordable
You should have a radio show or podcast you have a great voice to listen to
I was thinking the same thing, her voice sounds so familiar but can't place who she sounds like
I think she sounds like Miley Cyrus!
I stopped painting my nails to comment---
I love that you are a beauty guru that doesn't just say "I like this because it's really really pretty" it seems like you actually know other adjectives lmao
New sub, glad to be here!
You clapped again in your intro! lol😂😂😂😂😂
