e.l.f. Sheer for it Blush Tint gets rave reviews for blendability, great pigmentation, and no sticky or heavy residue. It’s the perfect alternative to luxury brands that are up to nearly five times the price. 😳

“I use sheer for it blush tint almost every day now, a little bit goes a long way so even on really light makeup days I can still use a little to brighten up a bit or build it up if I’m going out, and the left on red color is so nice!” – Hip Sidekick, Elizabeth 


bronzing drops on pink blanket

A number of Hip Sidekicks have put the e.l.f. Bronzing Drops head-to-head with pricier brands, and the choice here is clear. You get the perfect subtle sun-kissed glow with e.l.f. for a fraction of the price.

The price speaks for itself, and so do 7K+ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-star reviews!


hand holding lip oil over pink toolbox

This lip oil is non-sticky with minty freshness, and so similar to luxury brands, but one costs the same as dinner out, and the other is the same as a cup of coffee! We also love how lightweight and smooth the e.l.f. formula is.

The curved applicator lifts and sets the lashes for all-day wow, and for that price, go ahead, layer as much as you want. 😉

“This gets alllllll the gunk off, including waterproof mascara, and it the only way I know my face it truly clean before going to bed… which is important because one of our sheet sets is all white.” – Hip Sidekick, Emily


“I second the Holy Hydration Balm –  I use it as a first cleanse, especially when I have on sunscreen or foundation (which is usually) and it really gets everything off and leaves it super hydrated. Other balms have broken me out before but this one my skin seems to love.” – Hip Sidekick, Elizabeth
