No, they were not bought out by Nordstrom and in turn selling everything for the low, low price of $1 each. Everything is ALWAYS a buck at eyeslipsface.com , and absolutely fabulous to boot.
I had the pleasure of falling for this internet urban legend and discovered
a wonderful line of cheap, cruelty free, quality cosmetics.
Review Time!
Natural Radiance Blusher – I’m pretty much thrilled that this
ended up being THE PERFECT shade for my complexion (Glow). It requires a little
bit more application than most blushes, but otherwise it is perfect.
Brightening Eye Liner – Nice and simple pencil liner. Goes on smooth, and the color is very bright.
Plumping Lip Glaze – It plumps.. sorta. I noticed a slight difference but nobody else really did. It is very glossy and the color is nice and subtle. Warning: some people experience intense tingling and even burning with this product.. I did not. If you have that type of reaction to similar products, I would avoid using this.
Nail Polish – Love, love, love, love, love! First off…. this
nail polish is Toluene, Formaldehyde, and Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP) free. It
contains no animal ingredients or testing (obviously). It does not have a strong
chemical smell like most nail polishes. The polish on my toes have not chipped
or scratched at all, and I applied the polish over 2 weeks ago. (These are
summer feet too!) I have been waiting my whole life for nail polish like this!
Brightening Eye Color – Eh.. The color is kinda weak and it’s
not very long lasting. The eye color is good for a neutral day of makeup, but
most definitely not if you are trying to make an impact.
Although my overall experience with Eyes Lips and Face was pretty excellent,
there were some drawbacks. My order did not arrive until over a month after
I ordered it. However, I had received emails of apology informing me that my
order would be delayed. I assume that they are understaffed for the amount
of orders being placed. (Time to do some hiring, peoples!!!) If you are planning
on placing an order I would suggest not ordering anything you need ASAP and
be prepared to wait a bit for your order to arrive.
Also, the package size for everything is very small, but seriously, everything
is a dollar: buy 10!!

I sort of didn’t believe you about this place until I actually placed an order– brilliant. I too love the nail polish. Here’s one I found, even though it’s more than $1 a pop: http://www.nailaidworks.com. Vegan, cruelty and tox-free nail treatments (think strengtheners, broken nail solutions, etc). I love ’em.
I first heard of this company probably over a year ago, and I emailed them inquiring if their products were vegan. they didn’t give me any conclusive answers, and told me to read the ingredients. I went to my nearest Target location to check out the e.l.f. packaging, and I couldn’t decipher the ingredients. their website says they contain no animal ingredients except for lanolin and beeswax. do you have a list of which products are vegan, or how did you find out? I would really like to try some of their products! thank you 🙂
@ericasveganlife Thanks so much for your question! I was under the impression all of their cosmetics were vegan since they are PETA supported and “cruelty-free”, but upon further investigation it appears that I am wrong. Here is the information you seek:

I found that info on a few veg forums concerning their products. I know I reviewed 2 items containing beeswax and I am just as surprised as you (ah the perils of being vegan).. I will take them down and place this list up in its place. Thanks again!
I was looking for reviews on Elf, and found your site. Just an FYI, their FAQs now say that they use synthetic beeswax and lanolin. Thought you might like to know! 🙂
Thanks Stephanie! I was not aware of that. I’ll do some research and update this post. Thanks again!
ELF is replacing all animal ingredients with vegan friendly alternatives. Only products that remain non vegan are their old brushes and brushes from new Mineral Line. (New brushes from Studio line are synthetic) However it is still possible to get a product from the “old batch” since the switch is only recent. (this happened to me a few months ago, so I returned it) But all new stuff since the switch is vegan friendly (makeup from Mineral line and everything from Studio Line is vegan friendly!) This is their statement only- but you can also find ingredients of new vegan formulations on their site. 🙂
Just thought you all might like to know that they’re selling these products at Dollar General now. I had never heard of it until I stopped by a DG hoping to find an emergency pair of false lashes since I was out and had to give a speech in front of people (I have trichotillomania). They work even better than the Ardell brand on my lash-less eyes too since the band is so much thicker. I thought 1.00 cosmetics was too good to be true so I looked for reviews online expecting that they were made from the souls of third world children or something, but imagine my surprise when I found that these products are cruelty free!
Hey Mandi, can I add this list on http://www.crueltyfreeface.com if I link back to you?
Absolutely!
I thought the burning/tingling was natural with the plumping lip gloss? Isn’t that what the “plumping” part, is? Though, if it were a painful burning/tingling sensation, def avoid using it & with the brightening eye color, do you think it would last longer if it was applied over an eye shadow primer? FYI – I don’t know the answer to these questions, I’m just very inquisitive : ) I’ve actually heard quite a few good things about E.L.F. and can’t wait to try some of their products out when I have the funds to do so…
Thanks or the review!!!
