E.l.f Studio Moisturizing Foundation Stick and E.l.f Studio Moisture Stick


  I have another E.l.f review. In this post, I will tell you my thoughts on the E.l.f Studio Moisturzing Foundation stick and The Daily Moisture Stick.  The foundation stick claims to be a creamy natural looking coverage foundation. It also has Shea, Vitamin E, Cocoa, Grape, Avocado, Macadamia and Aloe for hydration. To use you remove the cap and twist up the foundation. It's easy to store and travel with. The Daily Moisture stick is a on the go moisturizer. It's perfect if you have dry spots on your face or just need a moisturizer for an overnight stay. It's enriched with Grape, Cocoa, Shea, Avocado, Macadamia, Aloe and Chamomile.

                     Foundation stick review 



I have Ivory( the lightest color)
Snatched on my hand it's very creamy and easy to blend. 

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 
 
Taylor's rating: 3 out of 5 stars
Will I repurchase? No

 

                   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
