I should have read all of the many complaints online regarding ordering on their website! I ordered some things as a Christmas gift for my daughter and it says if I spend a certain amount I get free shipping. I waited two weeks and even emailed them, with no response... when my package arrived it was missing items. They did charge my card for ALL of the items and never got back to my emails! When I tried calling I got an automated voice saying to email them! How is it that they can get away with taking money from people and horrible customer service? This was my first time ordering from their site and my last! I will also go on a mission to show the 9,000 followers on Facebook, 2,000 on Instagram and every other social media site I have, the MANY complaints against ELF. I refuse to spend a dime on any of their products and will make sure EVERY single person I know ( and in my line of work I come in contact with a lot of people from all over the world) know the truth about this scandalous company!

Wonderful brand
September 2, 2020

Elf cosmetics is a wonderful brand. Their prices are reasonable and the products are great. I have had to call customer service once but they were wonderful. Quick, simple, and ready to help!

They Said Sorry
December 21, 2015

What originally happened was that elf gave me a $3 refund for 14 missing items I had paid for and didn't receive. I made a previous review describing the terrible experience. After three emails and a message I left on their voicemail, I received the rest of my refund for those 14 items, and they sent me a 32 piece eyeshadow palette set (all about the nude) with two studio brushes, and an eyelid primer, along with a postcard from an elf representative apologizing for the bad experience I had. The refund, free gift and apology pushed a button in my heart, so I felt obligated to tell everyone that they resolved the original issue, and they went above and beyond by sending me a free gift.

Even though this experience with them was pretty bad to begin with (because half my order was missing when it arrived), I'd say that I'd shop on their website again in the future. It did take a few emails and a few days to hear a response from them, but they managed to at least give me my money back so I'm satisfied knowing that they take care of their customers.

Very good products
January 24, 2020

I really products of that brand, because they are quite cheap and good at the same time, so I really adore them and usually use them in my everyday make up, so if you want to test it, do that

I've ordered from elf several times. My local drug stores don't have a very wide selection of elf items, and it's a bummer cuz there's a cvs about 100 steps from my door. Anyway, i'm not in love with their site, it's not really easy to navigate. But what i do like is the check out section. They are very thorough and ask over and over if the shipping address is correct, etc. the last time i ordered was during Christmas, and there was not only a good sale, there were coupon codes all over the place. So i was able to buy more than $60 of items for less than $25. And free shipping. So i was quite happy. The order came complete, and everything was packaged well. I had moved since my last order, and was using a new card to pay for it. I didn't mind the extra few minutes at all.
I will for sure use this site again.
It's refreshing to be able to buy drug store products at actual drug store prices. I hate paying up to $18 for a face primer when i can get one delivered to my home for $6. In this case you don't get what you pay for... you get much more.

Good budget cosmetics.
September 15, 2020

Good budget cosmetics. I have been using it for more than one year, until there have been any complaints. The only thing, I didn't really like the shades of blush E. L. F. Studio Baked Blush.

So many wonderful points to this line: affordable, goes on well, lip products last and taste/smell good, and to say it again, they're VEGAN and CRUELTY-FREE! The prices also entice you to get more than you thought you would.
