Company Spotlight: E.L.F Cosmetics

Thursday, August 25, 2011 Sidrah!!!! 10 Comments

I’m the kinda person that doesn’t really look at high-end brands because my pockets just can’t hold the weight. This is where E.L.F comes in, also known as Eyes Lips Face. E.L.F states that  "every woman should have the opportunity to participate in innovation, without sacrificing her budget,"

History on the company:

The brand is based from New York City and now has branched out worldwide to the UK, Australia, and now Pakistan. The company was started in 2004 by Joseph Shamah and Scott Vincent Borba. Shamah and Borba met in 2002 while Shamah was a New York University business student and Borba was a Los Angeles based beauty-industry veteran who launched companies such as Hard Candy cosmetics. The mission to launch ELF was to bring inexpensive and high-quality cosmetics line for women and teens.

PETA supporters: 
The company states that all of its products are 100% cruelty-free. Their support for PETA's Fur Free campaign extends to its use of brush bristles which are 100% synthetic. Many other products are cruelty free such as mascaras, lip glosses, blushes, and more. In 2007, it was announced that e.l.f. was selling tweezers in a faux leather case that states Supports PETA in the Fur Free Campaign which 50% of the proceeds from sales of these tweezers go straight to PETA. Affordability with a cause, always nice to support such campaigns without breaking a budget.
