First off--I searched high and low for a GOOD review on these products before I purchased them. All I found were girls talking a bit about the product...never did I find a video/blog on WHY these items would work for anyone. I'm here to blow your minds with research! I'm not as educated on skincare as I'd like to be, but I have been doing quite a bit of research the past 2 years on what ingredients do what, how much percentage of an ingredient will be enough to show results, where ingredients come from etc. I want to know exactly what I'm putting onto my face and I want to know if a product is worth the hype/price. I'm not fond of just throwing money away to a high end/luxury company if the product isn't going to do a damn thing for me. I'd much rather spend that money on things like: Shoes, Purses, Jewelry, Clothes, More Makeup, Books, Electronic Devices and the like. Don't get me wrong--I don't mind spending a small chunk of cash on something if it's tried and true for me! I have a deep and fond love for Elf Cosmetics and I'd rather NOT waste money playing a guessing game and having to watch videos of girls twisting their hair around their fingers while saying, "I like this product because...I didn't like this product because..." I don't care whether or not THEY like it. I just want to know the BENEFITS. PERIOD. That way I can discern if the product is right for ME. Sorry for the rant, but DAMN! I feel like some reviews aren't even really REVIEWS anymore...I try my best to be thorough when it comes to skincare because what may work for me may not work for someone else, and I'd hate to be the reason someone ended up with a product that they do not like.
**Disclaimer** I have not yet used these products. I will in about a half an hour, and while others will blog/review a product within the first week of it's use, it's NOT thorough. It takes a while to see results and even if a product works great within a week--it may take a turn for the worse by the end of a 4 week period.
So let's get down to business!
Here's the Lineup!

I will be using this combined with my Hyaluronic Acid Serum that I always rave about. I will be applying the hyaluronic acid serum first because it's a carrier. That means that when I apply the Elf Soothing Serum on top of it, the hyaluronic acid serum will carry all of the good stuff into my skin faster and deeper for optimal results. My face LOVES good stuff!

Elf did not really say much about the fact that it has these in the product and they totally SHOULD! It's not only very popular right now, but it's an amazing selling point! This product will tighten and brighten my skin while protecting it from pollution and it even fights existing wrinkles as well as prevents them! How awesome is that!? Yeah, I can't wait to see how this stuff does! You get a great amount of product for the price too--I'm so stoked about this bottle!
