Under Investigation: $1 Bronzer from e.l.f

Being a recent college grad and being tight for cash, seeing $1 e.l.f. bronzer at Target was like seeing an answer to my prayers. The impulse buy left me wary after realizing “dang, Aimee! How good of a bronzer can this be for only $1?” Well, my fellow recessionistas, I’ll let you in on a little beauty secret. This bronzer isn’t too shabby. In fact, the first day I tried it, went to work, and was immediately asked what I had done differently. Guess I had a summer glow that my coworkers were now envious of.

A few cons about the 1 buck bronzer though. It does require blending because it goes on pretty heavy for daytime use, perfect for nighttime use though. Also, if using too dark of a shade, it could completely make you look washed out. No beuno.

E.l.f (eyes, lips, face) is a cosmetic company that offers inexpensive beauty products for budget shoppers like me. You can snatch up some mascara for $1-$3 or some lipstick for $1-$5. Check them out here or at my favorite store, Target. Remember though, you do get what you pay for!
