Foundation stick review
For application, I put two lines on my cheeks, nose, forehead and my jawline. For smaller areas, like my temples and chin, I put a dot. Then I went in with my Real Techniques Sponge and blended everything out. The first layer didn't provide much coverage. So, I applied another line in my problem areas.
When I was done blending everything out, I noticed the foundation highlighted all of my dry acne. So, in the future I will be sure to exfoliate before using this foundation again. With two layers, I thought the foundation looked a little cake-y. E.l.f also claims you can build the coverage but I think at best it's a medium coverage. A couple hours later the foundation did get oily in my T-zone. So people with dry or oily skin probably won't like this foundation. I would only recommend it if you have normal skin. I will not be repurchasing this product.
Pros: easy to travel with
Easy to store
Easy to apply
Smooth consistency
Price
Packaging
Cons: cake-y after first layer
Bad coverage
Highlights imperfections

Daily Moisture Stick review
I would like to point out that it comes with a cap to keep the stick fresh.
I love this moisture stick! E.l.f did a fantastic job with this product. It's so easy to just throw it in my purse and apply moisture to my dry spots during the day. If you have dry under eyes you will love this to pat under the eye and continue the rest or your day. I also use it before I apply my makeup for extra moisturization. I definitely recommend this product.
Pros: easy to use
Easy travel/store
Very moisturizing
Cons: none
