Two companies stand out to me when I think of that sleek, simple look. Personally, I think the packaging makes these two very affordable brands look and feel very high end. Plus the products inside kick some major boo-tay. These two companies are mark & the studio & mineral lines from e.l.f. and I'm happy to report on 3 products from each that I've been loving lately.
Get A Tint Tinted Moisturizer - $9
Powder Buff Natural Skin Foundation - $10
Save the Day Anti Acne Concealer - $8
First off - how cute is the packaging? I love the lowercase font, the trendy colors, and just how simple everything is. It seriously makes it look like it costs way more than the $8 - $10 prince range they actually run. The products rule, too. The tinted moisturizer is something I've talked about before that gives lightweight coverage while doing your skin good. It's perfect if your skin tone just needs a bit of "evening out". Powder buff is not only great for setting liquid foundation in place - but it's got great, even coverage that it works amazingly solo, as well. Save the day actually works to zap your zits while it's covering them. Ever felt like you're smothering your pimples with more CRAP by putting makeup over top of them? Fear no more - this amazing little concealer stick has magic in it and helps clear your skin while you wear it. Pretty innovative, eh? It's about damn time.
BABY I LIKE IT! I-I-I LIKE IT!

Blushing Rose Studio Blush - $3
Pebble Studio Eyeshadow - $3
Bare Brown Mineral Lipstick - $5
I chose these three colors because I think they're absolute must haves for fall. They've all got that warm undertone to them and since they're all neutrals, they work great with any look - whether it's back to school or business casual. I think warmer colors look so pretty in fall - so I've been searching for some new additions to my collection for the upcoming chilly months :) The little transformation e.l.f. underwent about a year ago is absolutely unreal. Their packaging is INCREDIBLE now - it reminds me a ton of mac. And did you get a load of those prices? I'd never believe those products cost UNDER $10. If you're looking to build up your color arsenal - the studio and mineral lines are absolutely fantastic since you get great stuff for the price tag.
Everything is available online on the E.L.F. website
Have a great rest of the week, chickas!
