Best skincare you can get!

Little long but here is my honest review Okay I want to start by saying this, before using ELF holy hydration I was not taking care of my skin like I should and to be completely honest I didn’t use any skincare and because of that I had breakouts and blemishes. I made a promise to myself that I would start loving myself enough to start using skincare again and that’s when I came across this. I seen the reviews but wanted to see it all for myself. I read the description and other people’s reviews and knew that the skincare kit wasn’t huge bottles and that they are smaller but a little does go a long way. When they came in it had a step by step process on what to apply first to the very last which is great if you’re like me and not sure. Now with that being said I also purchased a separate product called Salicylic Acid 2% solution because I have Sebaceous filaments and blackheads (thanks to Dr Pimple popper for her knowledge and what to use for it and any acne for that matter) and again know that the Salicylic acid does NOT come with ELF hydration skincare kit. Anywho I followed the step by step process and the last step was applying the Salicylic acid and I’m about 3 weeks in and my skin has NEVER looked better. I had dry flaky skin constantly around my nose and my skin was desperately needing moisture and a glow up and the elf skin care did just that. It went above and beyond on what it said it was going to do. The booster drops that came with it I ended up using the bottle within 2 weeks but that’s probably because I used too much. I really loved the way it felt on my skin and just couldn’t help myself lol It has all lasted me about a month so I say about a month or little longer is about how long the product will last you which is amazing for the price. Prior to this I’ve used soaps, makeup wipes, and other makeup removers and nothing comes remotely close to the melting cleansing bomb and I’m not talking about it takes off blush and foundation, it takes off thick mascara eyeshadow and eye liner with NO problem! It literally melts into your skin and does EXACTLY what it says it does! It takes off the HEAVIEST makeup with NO problem! I’ve used $50 makeup removers and it doesn’t even compare to this! And even though after I rinse my face there’s nothing left over there’s also a daily cleanser and once you wash it off you feel so fresh! I wish I could give this product 10 stars because I definitely would. The face cream, booster drops, and eye cream are also incredible! If you’re looking for affordable skincare that’s definitely going to work I recommend this! And if you want to add some razzle dazzle and need that extra help due to Sebaceous filaments and black heads than I also recommend the Salicylic acid just make sure you follow the instructions and use just once a day starting out and apply a thin layer. Elf has always been a favorite of mine due to it being affordable for us women because truth be told who wants to spend hundreds on products? Not me and because of elf I’ve always been able to get the same thing but much cheaper but with this skincare I’m even a bigger fan. Elf you’ve always had my vote but after using the skincare products I’ll forever be a fan and that will never change! I will let the pictures speak for themselves! I will be buying this product monthly! And have told ALL the ladies about it because I’ve had soooo many compliments on my skin lately! And that to me is a lot considering just 3 weeks ago my skin was terrible. -The first photo was my skin before using -2nd photo was my skin last night after using -Third photo was just 30 minutes ago after apply makeup -Fourth photo is what the products look like and the size -Last photo is also the other product that I use and is my last skincare step. If you’re needing a sign on to buy this or not this is your sign, BUY NOW!!!!

GREAT way to try new products!

I'm really happy with this purchase 👏. I've never tried any of these items, so I thought this'd be a good way to do it. I've noticed as I've gotten older that my skin has some sensitivity to it, just on my face. Products would "burn" my face, rashes would appear out of nowhere, etc... I'd gone back to using a mild soap to wash my face. Obviously not very exciting 😂. So after reading the reviews, I decided to purchase it. Absolutely love the face wash --- I've already bought the full size! The scent is very light and pleasant, doesn't linger after washing. I noticed that I didn't need to use much, maybe a dime size in my hand. It lathered up nicely and was very easy to rinse off. My skin felt soft and refreshed, no tight feeling. I really love the face cream, I've already bought the full size of that also! I noticed that I didn't need to pack it on, a small amount went a long way. My face felt soft and the cream doesn't leave any type of residue or greasy feeling. I've never been a fan of serums, I always felt like I put oil on my face. I mixed a tiny bit in with the face cream, and was pleasantly surprised --- no greasy feeling at all!! The serum should last a long time, I only used one drop. I haven't tried the makeup remover balm, as I don't wear eye makeup anymore. I did buy an e.l.f. eyeshadow: Fine As Fleck Glitter Eyeshadow, in the White Hot color from Amazon of course 😂. I have permanent eye glasses now, and that makes a lot of difference to me. I noticed everyone raved about the makeup remover, so I will try that the next time I wear makeup. I haven't tried the eye cream yet, I must get into the habit of a before bed routine again. It's been a long time as far as that goes. Once I use up the trial size bottle of daily face wash, I will fill it up with the full-size daily wash for my shower --- probably like most women, I use a lot of different products and don't have much room for full-size bottles!! Bottom line: very happy I bought this travel kit. And I'm also glad that the full size products aren't super expensive....I can actually afford to buy items when I run out. Looking back, I truly wish I had the money I spent on the high-end products at the mall over the years. Oh well, moving forward I'll be using e.l.f. and thank you Amazon for carrying this brand!! And the trial size kit sold me on buying future items, I wouldn't notice otherwise. Oh, and after a few weeks of usage I'm proud to say that I haven't had any skin issues!👏

Very nice!!

I am a teenager who is now making my own money, so I now buy my own things. I personally have grown a bit stingy with my money and am not always sure what to buy. I thought making a review would help some others like myself. 1: I have easily irritable skin (I always somehow see an allergic reaction to the skin products I usually use/get.) — and I get acne from the sports I do. These products do not make my skin burn or anything of the sort, as well as my acne goes away quickly after using this (-But I do not have severe acne, a few bumps and pimples here and there, mostly on the forehead.) It’s always an easy application, my skin is soft afterwards, and at most my skin gets a little pink after putting it on but instantly goes back away. 2: What I have seen in my products I have received- they don’t fill the container/containers up fully. I have seen this mostly in the face cream. It doesn’t bother me too much, but it is a bit unsatisfactory knowing I could have had more product and I know that would turn some other people off. 3: From other reviews I have read, some people are complaining about the smell of a product/the products. The smell they are probably talking about is the smell of the daily cleanser. (I have not smelled anything badly from any of the other products) - The smell of the daily cleanser smells like a soapy / dish soap kind of smell. The smell really goes away fast for me and doesn’t bother me so much, but I do understand how it could turn some other people off. 4: The size of the products aren’t very surprising to me. It’s big enough for testers - (as seen in photos). It gives you a good taste of what the products have in store for you. I’ve had these products for about a week now and I have been liking them for the price. (They are not gone in a week as long as you use the right amount of product according to the instructions on the back of the bottle/containers.) 5: The product I REALLY like from this set alone is the makeup melting cleansing balm. As seen on the instructions on the back of the container, this is used for dry skin. (I personally get dry skin around my mouth and on the top of my nose bridge- above my mouth, beside my mouth, etc.) this helped A LOT. Not even exaggerating, I swear! The product didn’t make my skin feel stiff or burn after using.

Great Intro to e.l.f. SKIN — Lightweight Hydration That’s Gentle and Affordable

I purchased the e.l.f. SKIN Holy Hydration! Hydrated Ever After Kit to test the line before committing to full-size products and to build a simple, fragrance-friendly routine for everyday use. The kit arrived well packaged, and each product is clearly labeled with instructions, which makes it easy to use even if you’re new to skincare. The textures across the line are lightweight and absorb quickly without feeling greasy or heavy. I’ve been using this set consistently for about three weeks, both morning and night. The cleanser is gentle and doesn’t strip my skin, the hydration booster layers well under moisturizer, and the face cream provides noticeable moisture without clogging pores. My skin feels softer and more balanced, especially in drier areas, and I haven’t experienced irritation or breakouts. What I liked: • Gentle, non-irritating formulas suitable for daily use • Lightweight textures that absorb quickly • Works well under makeup • Great way to try multiple products without committing to full sizes What could be better: • The moisturizer may not be rich enough for very dry or winter-stressed skin • Small sizes mean the kit won’t last long if used twice daily Who this kit is for: Anyone looking for an affordable, beginner-friendly hydration routine or wanting to sample e.l.f. SKIN products before buying full sizes. Who might want to skip it: Those with extremely dry skin who need heavy, occlusive moisturizers or people looking for active ingredients like exfoliating acids or retinoids. Overall, this is a thoughtfully curated hydration set that delivers exactly what it promises—simple, effective moisture at a very accessible price point. I would confidently repurchase full-size versions of a few items from this kit.
