Women buy a lot of makeup and cosmetics. For many women, its the way they feel put together, or 'divalicious' as I like to refer to it. However, makeup and other types of cosmetics can get expensive over time. There is good news though, you can save money on makeup and get it for less, while still enjoying wearing it.

I would like to introduce you to Eyes, Lips and Face - commonly referred to as ELF. This particular website has an absolutely stunning array of makeup colors and products. They have been featured in all of the hottest trendy magazines, and they are the makeup that Carson Kressley is featuring on his upcoming Lifetime TV show 'How to Look Good...' which airs tonight. (January 4th @ 9/8C) The shows main goal is to teach women how to feel beautiful with what they have, and who doesn't feel beautiful with a little bit of makeup?

The individual makeup products offered at ELF are $1 + shipping. Did you read that right? Yes. They are $1.00. The reason is, they are a slightly smaller size than a standard size tube of lipstick or eyeshadow but they are larger than a sample size.

The make up is offered in so many colors your head will spin. And the low cost allows you to try a color and not spend a lot to do it. Can the local discount chain with their $7-$10 tube of lipstick, boast the same thing? No.

There is free shipping on orders of $75 or more, but that is a lot of makeup. Otherwise shipping is a flat rate of $5.00 so whatever you do, try out a couple of things and don't waste that flat rate of shipping.

ELF is making a name for itself in the cosmetics industry. They have dozens of various products including the coveted lip gloss and the minerals make ups. They also offer kits at a reasonable price, and overall I am sure you will be pleased.

Makeup is one of those things we want and don't necessarily need - a luxury if you will, but if we are going to spend the money, wouldn't it be great if we were spending less?
