Eyes Lips Face (E.L.F) scam

March 5, 2008 · Leave a Comment

The scam is that Nordstrom or Bloomingdales is buying them out so go to their site to buy everything for $1.

CONSUMER ALERT!

Some of our customers have received emails regarding the eyeslipsface.com website. We want you to know that Bloomingdale’s and Bloomingdale’s by Mail are not affiliated with eyeslipface.com or the e.l.f product line, nor with any email regarding the website or product line, and we do not sell e.l.f. products. We are investigating the e-mails, which appear to have been the product of a party unrelated to either Eyes Lips Face Corp. or Bloomingdale’s. (Same reported on Nordstrom).

Even if they were a legit company supposedly featured in magazines, they shouldn’t have attemtped to get users from these scam emails.

Puffy Eye Remedies

February 18, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Puffy eyes and under eye bags can be caused by stress, crying, or other
heredity factors. Check out these remedies to help reduce the
puffiness:

1. Drink adequate amounts of water to keep the system flushed

2. Sleep soothes the eyes and relieves fatigue from the body. Get as
close to 8 hours as you can.

3. Take a metal spoon and run it under cold water. Place the metal on
the puffy area for at least 60 seconds.

4. Elevate your head with pillows. This should keep fluids from
settling uner the eyes.

5. Wrap a wash cloth around ice, splash some cold water and apply to
the eyes.

6. Apply hemorrhoid cream (look for brands that contain ingredients of
yeast and shark’s liver oil) to the puffy area.

7. Soak a black tea bag in cold water and apply on each eye for ten
minutes to reduce swelling caused by fluid retention.

8. Avoid salty foods, which cause the entire body to hold fluid.

Eyeliner for different eyes

February 17, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Not all eyes are the same! Per person that is. Here are some tips!

Small eyes – Draw a dark line and gradually thicken it at the outer edge of the eye. Draw under the lower lash with a light colored pencil in silver, white, or gold.

Close-set eyes – Using a grey, brown, or black pencil, line the outer third of the upper lids. Smudge gently and use a lighter colored liner on the inner eye. This helps widen the space between the eyes.

Drooping eyes – Line the outer third of the eye very close to the lashes, then sweep the liner up at the corner of the eye to create an uplifting effect.

Deep-set eyes: Use a  pale, shimmery color and line the upper lash line. Then line the outer edge of the lower lashline with a neutral shade such as grey or taupe beige.

Smokey Eye Tips

February 14, 2008 · Leave a Comment

The key to the smokey eye affect is blending. The blending of these
colors and the use of highlight shimmer helps keep the look soft and
smokey!

- First apply shadow base to the lids
- Sweep on a highlight concentrating on the upper area near the eyebrow
and the tear duct (this area catches the most light)
- Apply shadow to the lid
- Using an angled brush, apply a gel or dry liner to the lid close to
the lash line. A dark navy blue or plum shadow would work here. Blend
this line.
- Blend in a slightly darker shadow in the crease of the lid
